Plácido Domingo of the legendary Three Tenors takes it down a notch to sing the baritone title role in Verdi's Simon Boccanegra, a gripping political thriller that charts the rise of the plebeian party and their efforts to overthrow the aristocracy. The party places its faith in the leadership of the pirate Boccanegra, whose murky personal life only complicates matters exponentially. The story is chock-full of twists, turns, and betrayals, so it's wise to read up beforehand to avoid spending the runtime staring at the subtitle scroll.
