The Canadian Opera Company’s spring season opens with Verdi’s great opera Simon Boccanegra.
Simon’s election as the first Doge of Genoa is intended to unite the conflicted city.
For a time, it does, but the return of his long-lost daughter, Amelia ...
... exposes shifting political alliances and conspiracies that threaten to thrust the city back into chaos.
Soprano Tamara Wilson is terrific as Maria Boccanegra with a powerful, expressive voice.
Paolo Gavanelli plays a wonderful Doge of the city.
Simon Baccanegra plays on the following dates throughout April and into May.
April 11, 14, 22, 24, 28 @ 7:30 PM and April 18 @ 4:30 PM May 3 @ 2:00 PM Four Seasons Centre For The Performing Arts, 145 Queen St. W. (At University Ave.) Tickets: phone: 416 363-8231 or online by visiting http://www.coc.ca/
