Simon Boccanegra [videorecording] : melodramma in un prologo e tre atti / una produzione Raitre-Raitrade dal Teatro comunale di Firenze ; [libretto] di Francesco Maria Piave (e Arrigo Boito) ; musica di Giuseppe Verdi ; regia, Peter Stein.

Simon Boccanegra, Doge of Genoa, is one of Verdi's most profound characters, a complex man ruled by love of family and devotion to country. The compelling, richly colored music of Simon Boccanegra vividly embodies the tangled personal passions and political rivalries of Renaissance Italy.
