In the spring of 1856, the management of Venice's Teatro La Fenice commissioned Verdi to write a new opera. They soon soon settled on a subject: Spanish dramatist Antonio García Gutiérrez's play Simón Bocanegra. The next year's premiere enjoyed only lacklustre success, but later on, in 1879, the composer returned to the work, making major changes to it with the assistance of librettist Arrigo Boito. Two years later, at Milan's La Scala, the opera received tremendous acclaim, which has been repeated around the world ever since. This dramatic story of passion, treachery, love, kidnapping, poisoning and death combined with Verdi's marvellous music has made Simon Boccanegra into one of the most important pieces in the composer's oeuvre.
Our offer
It has been a long time since we thought of Cécile McLorin Salvant as merely the promising winner of the 2010 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. Her expressive voice capable of conveying profound emotions and refined sentiments, her virtuoso improvisation, and her brave, experimental combinations of styles have now come to represent a point of reference to a new generation.
The evening promises a memorable encounter with one of the most celebrated groups of works in Bach’s oeuvre, as well as an introduction to the leading ensemble of the Japanese historically informed performance movement.
The MET’s contemporary highlight of the 2025-2026 season centres on, arguably, art history’s most famous painter couple, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
