Abstract: Verdi's tale of the eponymous medieval Doge of Genoa marries the political and the intimate to dramatic effect, both elements given their full due in this well-sung production led by Sir Georg Solti. Soprano Kiri Te Kanawa stars as Maria/Amelia, the lost daughter of Simon Boccanegra being raised by her grandfather, his bitter political foe. She's in fine voice and acts well, a truly convincing figure, her lovely first aria Come in quest'ora bruna a thing of beauty, and striking sparks in the Council scene and her duets with her lover and her father. Alexandru Agache takes the title role; he's a lyric baritone who's especially convincing in the more intimate moments, as well as a commanding figure whose message of peace and forgiveness ultimately wins over his rebellious patrician opponents..
