SIMON BOCCANEGRA is Now Playing at Paris Opera

Simon Boccanegra by Giuseppe Verdi comes to Opéra Bastille, playing now through 3 April 2024.

Tickets are from €32 to €175.

Although not the best-known of Verdi's operas, Simon Boccanegra was one of his favourites, to the extent that he extensively reworked it 24 years after its Venice premiere in 1857. What a destiny Simon Boccanegra enjoyed! This former privateer, elected doge of Genoa, wishes to re-establish peace within his Council, divided between patricians and plebeians, and peace with Venice, the eternal rival.
