Captured live at Opera di Roma’s season opening night, Richard Jones’ eagerly anticipated new production of Verdi’s searing and intensely emotional opera. In 14th century Genoa, Boccanegra (baritone Luca Salsi) is a powerful man, but the secrets of his past haunt him: twenty-five years ago, his young lover died, and their daughter mysteriously vanished. Just as he thinks he might have found her, his enemies start to move against him. Opera di Roma Music Director Michele Mariotti conducts the fabulous score.
