Verdi's 'Simon Boccanegra' with Fabbian, Schillaci, Cikes and Jota from Split

Split summer Festival. Verdi's 'Simon Boccanegra' is an opera with a prologue and three acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, based on the play Simón Bocanegra (1843) by Antonio García Gutiérrez. Paolo Albiani, a plebeian, tells his ally Pietro that in the forthcoming election of the Doge, his choice for the plebeian candidate is Simon Boccanegra. Boccanegra arrives and is persuaded to stand when Paolo hints that if Boccanegra becomes Doge, the aristocratic Jacopo Fiesco will surely allow him to wed his daughter Maria. 

Performers: Elia Fabbian: Simon Boccanegra. Daniela Schillaci: Amelia Grimaldi. Ivica Cikeš: Jacopo Fiesco. Max Jota: Gabriele Adorno. Ozren Bilušic: Paolo Albiani. Bozo Zupic: Pietro. Špiro Boban: Captain. Barbara Sumic: Amelia's friend.
