Anna Tomowa-Sintow, Vasile Moldoveanu, Sherrill Milnes & Paul Plishka Metropolitan Opera, James Levine Live from the MET, December 1984 “Supremely "real" is Sherrill Milnes's performance of the title-role. He is a singing actor with natural command of the stage, and what the filming shows to most moving effect in the face, marvellously responsive, especially as the brief moments of happiness are reflected in those deep-set-eyes.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Roberto Frontali, Carmen Giannattasio, Giacomo Prestia, Marco Vratogna, Alberto Rota, Enea Scala & Lucia Michelazzo Orchestra And Chorus of the Teatro Comunale Di Bologna, Michele Mariotti Sliding marble walls, a mosaic-like fl oor, a leafl ess tree centre-stage, elegant costumes
– with its young cast and a superlative performance by Roberto Frontali as Simon
Boccanegra, this production has all the ingredients to leave a lasting impression.
The Italian baritone is a regular guest at the world’s major opera houses, including the
Metropolitan Opera, La Scala Milan, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Zurich
Opera House, the Staatsoper Berlin and Dresden’s Semperoper. Born in 1979 and
already principal conductor in Bologna, Michele Mariotti directs the ensemble in a
bravura performance.
Simon Boccanegra is perhaps not one of Verdi’s best-known operas. The composer
himself returned to revise the work on several occasions. The original opera was
premiered in Venice in 1857, this revised version not until 1881. Although never
considered one of Verdi’s crowd pullers, it remains one of the composer’s most beautiful
creations. Verdi’s music underpins this human drama in all its surprising twists and
turns … | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
