SUMMARY:Opera North - Verdi's Simon Boccanegra
DESCRIPTION:Gripping. Intriguing. Step into powerful music.\nWho’s on stage\nOur long-time friends Opera North bring their epic chorus\, magnificent orchestra and incredible cast to Sage One. \nWhat they’re playing\nGiuseppe Verdi’s gripping story of political intrigue and personal tragedy Simon Boccanegra is Opera North’s latest concert staging of large-scale Italian classics\, following acclaimed performances of Turandot and Aida. \n\n\n\n\nWhat’s happening in the music?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 14th-century Genoa\, former pirate and man of the people\, Simon Boccanegra\, is elected head of the republic. It’s the start of a decades-long rivalry with nobleman Jacopo Fiesco. Power struggles and revenge plots unfold\, but underneath it all\, the two are bound together by the strongest of family ties. Is reconciliation within reach before it’s too late? \nThis is a gripping thriller that isn’t just political\, it’s personal. In this concert staging of the revised 1881 opera\, the chorus and orchestra take centre stage immersing the audience in Verdi’s powerful music. It promises to be an unmissable event. \nTake a look\n
