The Italian texts and literal translations of both versions of the librettothe 1857 original and the 1881 revisionare included in this guide, along with a number of
essays focusing on the differences between the two
Rodolfo Celleti provides the story's historical context, setting the events of the real life of Simon Boccanegra against the unification of Italy, which formed the political backdrop
to both versions' composition. James A. Hepokoski gives a detailed synopsis of the 1881 score, indicating the ways in which Verdi radically revised the original and reworked
it to fit his late style. Lastly, Desmond Shawe-Taylor discusses Verdi's attitude to his singers, and the critical reception that performances of both versions of the opera received.
