Giuseppe Verdi 
Simon Boccanegra [PDF ebook] 

Support

Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra exists in two versions: that of the 1857 original and that of the 1881 revision. The texts of the libretto of both versions are included in this guide, with a number of essays which focus on the differences between the two. Rodolfo Celleti provides the story’s historical context, setting the events of the real life of Simon Boccanegra against the unification of Italy, which formed the political backdrop to the composition of both versions of Verdi’s opera. James A. Hepokoski gives a detailed synopsis of the 1881 score, and indicates the ways in which Verdi radically revised the original and reworked it to fit his late style. Lastly, Desmond Shawe-Taylor discusses Verdi’s attitude to his singers, and the critical reception that performances of both versions of the opera received.This edition contains over twenty illustrations, a thematic guide and the texts of the libretti in the original with literal translations. There is also a bibilography, discography and DVD guide, together with a list of websites that will allow the reader to explore the opera further.Contains:A Historical Perspective, Rodolfo Celletti An Introduction to the 1881 Score, James Hepokoski Verdi and His Singers: The vocal character of the two versions of Simon Boccanegra in relation to the original casts, Desmond Shawe-Taylor A Performance and Reception History, George Hall Simon Boccanegra: Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, with additions by Giuseppe Montanelli.
