LA Opera presents the company premiere of Verdi's masterpiece, Simon Boccanegra, starring the legendary Placido Domingo. Domingo's interpretation of one of the most complex characters in opera is complemented by conductor James Conlon, internationally recognized as a master with Verdi, and rounded out by a top-rate cast. The opera itself is an epic tale of ambition and betrayal spanning two generations. The poignancy of Verdi's score truly shines in the heartwrenching scenes between father and daughter, who exemplify the ideals of familial love and loyalty. Learn More

Strong performance by the orchestra, well staged, and performed well by the entire cast. My only complaints stem from the sometimes "screaming" quality of the Soprano's voice (I don't have my program near me to give a name) and the somewhat slow tempo for the initial overture. The orchestra took a bit to get into gear, but once they did, they were full on for the rest of the evening.Written on Apr 11 2008
Good production by the company - not the best Dutchman I've seen, but still good.

Wagner's music and the orchestra was 4 Star. Singing 3 1/2 star. Set 3 star. Staging/direction 2 star (excessive in the third act, to the point of distraction) Overall 3 star.Written on Apr 03 2008
