Simon Boccanegra discography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of audio and video recordings (discography) of Simon Boccanegra, an Italian opera with music composed by Giuseppe Verdi. The first performance of the work was on 12 March 1857 at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice with a libretto by Francesco Maria Piave. Verdi subsequently revised the work in an edition reworked by the librettist Arrigo Boito, which was first performed on 24 March 1881 at La Scala in Milan. It is this latter version which is the one most frequently performed today.
