Summary:
A sensational cast brings Verdi's dark drama--a rarity in 1950--to stirring life. The great baritone Leonard Warren takes on the title role, opposite Astrid Varnay as his long-lost daughter Amelia, one of the legendary Wagnerian soprano's few Italian roles. Met audience favorite Richard Tucker is Gabriele Adorno, Amelia's lover and Boccanegra's political enemy-turned-supporter. Mihály Székely sings Fiesco, Giuseppe Valdengo is Paolo, and Fritz Stiedry conducts.

Prelude
Come in quest'ora bruna
Cielo di stelle orbato ; Vieni a mirar la cerula
Ah! Che fia?
Propizio ei giunge!
Il Doge vien
Dinne, perchè in quest'eremo
Orfanella il tetto umile
Dinne
alcun là non vedesti? Figlia! a tal nome io palpito
Messeri, il re di Tartaria
Evviva! Evviva il Doge!
Nell'ora soave
Plebe! Patrizi!
Ecco la spada
In te risiede l'austero dritto popolar
Quei due vedesti?
Udisti? O inferno! ; Sento avvampar nell'anima
Tu qui? Amelia! Parla, in tuo cor virgineo
Figlia? Si afflitto, padre mio?
Doge! Ancor proveran la tua clemenza I traditori?
Perdon, perdon, Amelia
All'armi, all'armi o Liguri
Libero sei
Cittadini! Per ordine del Doge
Delle faci festani al barlume
Piango, perchè mi parla
Chi veggo! Vien
Gran Dio, li benedici.
