'You People' is as Glossy and Uneven as its Predecessors
Another uneven "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" redux that says nothing novel about its subject matter.
Verdi: Simon Boccanegra
The ambiguities of Verdi’s theatre are particularly clear in his baritone roles, among which is that of Boccanegra, corsair turned doge of Genoa and the troubled observer of the conflicts that tore apart 14th century landowners and peasants. An eminently political opera in which power struggles are interwoven with family conflicts, Simon Boccanegra echoes the life of its composer – the man who championed the cause of Italian unification and overcame the loss of his wife and children.
