Verdi's tale of plots, rebellion, betrayal, assassination and passion. In the class-driven battle for the control of 14th-century Genoa, the embattled Doge of the city also faces the consequences of his past as they lead – through an estranged daughter, her competing suitors and a life-long enemy – to his death. Lucio Gallo sings the title role. With Nina Stemme (Amelia), Marcus Haddock (Gabriele Adorno, Amelia's lover), and Marco Vratogna (the villainous Paolo). John Eliot Gardiner conducts; the director is Ian Judge.
