A tale of public feuds and private griefs set against a backdrop of civil war, Simon Boccanegra is revered as one of Verdi’s most sublime, mature masterpieces.

Featuring a major role for the English National Opera chorus, Simon Boccanegra is conducted by ENO’s Laurence Olivier Award-winning Music Director, Edward Gardner.

The award-winning young Russian director/designer Dmitri Tcherniakov makes his ENO debut with this production of Simon Boccanegra that launches a new partnership between ENO and the Bayerische Staatsoper, Munich.

Leading Verdi baritone Bruno Capronisings the role of Simon Boccanegra , the privateer-turned-politician, with Brindley Sherratt as Fiesco, the implacable foe who discovers too late the bonds of love that bind them.
