Simon Boccanegra: Melodramma in un Prologo e Tre Atti (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book is a dramatic opera in a prologue and three acts set in 14th century Genoa and its environs. Verdi's twelfth opera, the libretto is set to a text by Francesco Maria Piave and concerns the story of the pirate Simon Boccanegra, who becomes the first Doge of Genoa. The work forms part of Verdi's middle period, which also includes Rigoletto, Il Trovatore, and La Traviata. Verdi began work on the opera in 1855 and it was first performed in Venice in 1857, although it was later revised and expanded in 1881. The opera is regarded as one of Verdi's finest works and has remained popular to this day.
