About this event

Intrigue, family tragedies, power struggles – these words aptly describe Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “Simon Boccanegra”. The world premiere flopped, but almost 25 years later, the opera received thunderous applause at a new performance in Milan’s La Scala. Andreas Homoki has staged this second and revised version at the Zurich Opera House. Its premiere was Christian Gerhaher’s much-lauded role debut as Simon Boccanegra.
