The unrivaled Plácido Domingo fulfilled a lifelong dream when he first performed the baritone title role in Simon Boccanegra.

Now he brings his celebrated interpretation of one of opera’s most complex characters to his home company. He will be joined by conductor James Conlon, internationally recognized as a master of Verdi, and a stellar cast.

Simon Boccanegra is a grand-scale study of power and treachery that finds an emotional center in the tender and unbreakable bond between father and daughter. Verdi's poignant score brings his characters to vivid life in a series of striking encounters that spans two generations.
