For his Simon Boccanegra Verdi once again chose a play by the Spaniard Antonio García Gutiérrez, the author of the drama that had inspired Il trovatore. Both plays fulfil the precepts of romantic theatre: an audacious hero of unknown origins and a heroine of noble birth–with the resulting social conflict–, impossible love, historical drama with political connotations and a tragic ending. Simon Boccanegra, a former pirate who is proclaimed Doge of Genova, is an old man and an atypical hero; and the heroine is his daughter.
Verdi weaves into his music a melody that flows with perfect regularity, in which the recitatives are underlined by the orchestra and the voices are a true expression of the characters’ souls.
