  • "Public acclaim and private tragedy are inextricably linked in the story of Simon Boccanegra, sung in this broadcast by the great Thomas Hampson. On the day he is acclaimed Doge of Genoa, his beloved Maria dies, and their infant daughter disappears. Years later, father and daughter (Angela Gheorghiu) are reunited, but the man she loves (Marcello Giordani) is Boccanegra's sworn enemy. Throughout this heartbreaking tale of love, fate, and politics, Verdi's magnificent score conveys the deep love and compassion he has for his main characters."
  • "Most politicians have things in their past they hope will never come to light. But the Doge of Genoa, Simon Boccanegra (Frank Guarrera) has a deep personal secret. After the woman he loved died, their illegitimate daughter disappeared. Twenty-five years later, he finds Amelia (legendary Verdi soprano Zinka Milanov)--only to realize she's in love with his political adversary, Gabriele Adorno (the great Carlo Bergonzi), who has sworn to kill Boccanegra. This passionate mix of family drama, political revolt, conspiracy, and slow-acting poison features some of Verdi's most stirring and beautiful music, conducted here by Dimitri Mitropoulos."
  • "The great Renata Tebaldi leads the cast as Amelia in this memorable performance of Verdi's drama, still a rarity on stage in the 1960s. Anselmo Colzani is her father, Simon Boccanegra, the corsair who ascends to power as Doge of Genoa but loses the woman he loves. Reunited with his daughter decades later, he faces political opposition from her lover, Gabriele Adorno (George Shirley). Jerome Hines is the patrician Jacopo Fiesco, who is determined to destroy Boccanegra--and doesn't realize that Amelia is his granddaughter. Also caught in the web of deceit and murder is the sinister Paolo, played by Justino Díaz."
  • "The role of Simon Boccanegra is one of the capstones of Verdi's baritone repertoire. Sherrill Milnes gives a stunning portrayal of the 14th century Genoa doge, singing with both power and poetry, and reminding everyone why audiences acclaimed him the great American Verdi baritone of the day. Anna Tomowa-Sintow is Amelia, his long-lost daughter, in love with one of Boccanegra's most bitter political enemies. James Levine reveals his passion for Verdi's score, bringing out all the drama while reveling in its aching lyricism."
  • "More than 15 years after first thrilling Met audiences with his portrayal of the fiery revolutionary Gabriele Adorno, Plácido Domingo--in an unprecedented artistic tour-de-force--returned to Verdi's masterpiece, taking on the baritone title role. It's one of the composer's richest characters, demanding extraordinary emotional intensity. Audiences hailed Domingo's performance as one of the most searing and memorable in his storied career. James Levine conducts a brilliant cast that also includes Adrianne Pieczonka as Amelia, Marcello Giordani as Gabriele Adorno, and James Morris as Fiesco."
  • "A sensational cast brings Verdi's dark drama--a rarity in 1950--to stirring life. The great baritone Leonard Warren takes on the title role, opposite Astrid Varnay as his long-lost daughter Amelia, one of the legendary Wagnerian soprano's few Italian roles. Met audience favorite Richard Tucker is Gabriele Adorno, Amelia's lover and Boccanegra's political enemy-turned-supporter. Mihály Székely sings Fiesco, Giuseppe Valdengo is Paolo, and Fritz Stiedry conducts."
  • "James Levine leads the Met's musical forces in one of Verdi's most atmospheric scores, with baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky in the title role of the Doge of Genoa heading the extraordinary cast. Ferruccio Furlanetto is his nemesis, the noble Fiesco, who is reconciled with Boccanegra just before the Doge's death. Barbara Frittoli sings Amelia, Boccanegra's daughter and Fiesco's granddaughter, and Ramón Vargas is her lover, Gabriele Adorno, Boccanegra's political enemy-turned-supporter."
