About

Giuseppe Verdi’s gripping tale of political intrigue and personal tragedy gets the Opera North treatment.

Simon Boccanegra is a former pirate chosen to become the head of state in Genoa. Jacopo Fiesco is a nobleman exiled from the city. The two men are bound together by the strongest of family ties – but they’ve been sworn enemies for decades. As their poisonous rivalry plays out in power struggles and revenge plots, can they bury the hatchet before it’s too late?

The brilliant Opera North follow their concert stagings of Turandot, Aida and other Italian classics with their first ever performances of Verdi’s intense drama of love, loss and reconciliation – powered by the thrilling sound of the on-stage orchestra. Simon Boccanegra premieres at St George’s Hall as part of Bradford 2025 – and tickets are on sale now.
