Pirmo reizi Latvijas Nacionālajā operā tiek iestudēts Džuzepes Verdi meistardarbs “Simons Bokanegra”. Šīs operas titulvaronis kļūst par Dženovas dodžu, balsojumā pārspējot aristokrātu Fjesko, taču viņus abus saista ne tikai cīņa par varu, bet arī kāda liktenīga sieviete.  Operu “Simons Bokanegra” Džuzepe Verdi sacerēja jau 1857. gadā, tomēr publikas un kritikas īpašu atzinību guva darba otrā redakcija, kas pirmizrādi piedzīvoja 1881. gadā. 21. gadsimtā “Simons Bokanegra” arvien biežāk parādās uz operteātru skatuvēm. Latvijas Nacionālajā operā iestudējums tapis saskaņā ar Stīvena Lolesa (Stephen Lawless) oriģinālrežijas konceptu, tā scenogrāfs un kostīmu mākslinieks ir Leslijs Traverss (Leslie Travers), bet horeogrāfe – Linne Hoknija (Lynne Hockney). Šīs britu radošās komandas veidotās izrādes guvušas panākumus nozīmīgākajos pasaules opernamos un festivālos
