Simon Boccanegra is a connoisseur’s opera. Far from Verdi’s most popular work, it is nonetheless considered by Verdians as one of his finest—not least because his revisions of 1881 enjoyed the benefit of his late style and the help of Arrigo Boito (the librettist of Otello and Falstaff) as its script doctor. Part of the reason for its relative obscurity is the dearth of those arias we love in Verdi (the lead character, for example, gets none), but the compensation lies in the superb ensemble writing—particularly its exquisite duets—and the almost through-composed music, with its rich textures and sinuous continuity. The music, more subtle and harmonically bold than that of Verdi’s earlier works, is of great beauty—and of great power where called for. It’s a style that well suits the complexity of the opera, with its admixture of political and domestic conflicts. In keeping with the political slant is the dominance of male voices, almost all of them deep—three baritones (Verdi’s favourite) and a bass, with only one tenor and one soprano—the lone woman in the opera other than a seconda donna who barely appears. This preponderance gives the work its dark tinta, matching its somber mood.

Major attractions of the opera other than its music are the nobility of its protagonist, his loving relationship with his newly-discovered daughter, and the complexity of its central male characters: Boccanegra’s would-be nemeses, Jacopo Fiesco and Gabriele Adorno, as well as the Doge himself. Fiesco is a man obsessed with vengeance, though too noble to achieve it by foul means, and with a heart capable of love but caught in the grip of hate. Adorno is a man wracked by jealous love conflicting with an obligation of revenge. Boccanegra is a pirate who becomes a politician who has come to prefer peace, reconciliation, and love to violence.
