Simon Boccanegra - Zürich Opera house (2021) - Simon Boccanegra - Opernhaus Zürich (2021)

Description

Revival of the production created in 2020, which we reported at the time, in french.

Andreas Homoki realized this production in the middle of the pandemic, and its extraordinary premiere was celebrated with only 50 audience members in attendance and a huge television audience watching on Arte from their homes. Homoki created fleshed-out characters, as well as a clear and suspense-filled narrative arc. In order to facilitate the opera’s multiple time periods, his production allowed for imaginary spaces of memory.
