由朱塞佩威尔第创作的《西蒙·波卡涅拉》，是他鲜为人知的作品之一，也是他最优秀的歌剧，被歌剧爱好者视为珍品。这一故事发生在14世纪，西蒙·波卡涅拉混迹于海盗之间，政治和个人之争充斥全剧。该剧由彼得斯坦因（1970-1985年到达西德，后来成为萨尔茨堡艺术节戏剧导演）执导。《西蒙·波卡涅拉》首次被制成光碟是在2000年萨尔茨堡复活节艺术节上。两年后，在维也纳制作第二版，采用与在萨尔茨堡相同的服装。剧中两个主要的男性角色歌唱演员 - 格拉西门和费鲁乔分别由美国男中音汉普森和托马斯富拉内托扮演。

One of the lesser known works by Giuseppe Verdi, Simon Boccanegra is regarded by most opera lovers as one of his finest. The action takes place in the 14th century and deals with the political and personal rivalry between the corsair Simon Boccanegra, who has been elected Doge of Genoa with the help of the plebeian vote, and the local nobleman, Jacopo Fiesco. The staging was directed by one of the giants of the European theatre, Peter Stein, who ran the Berliner Schaubühne between 1970 and 1985, and later became theatre director at the Salzburg Festival. His production of Simon Boccanegra was first seen at the 2000 Salzburg Easter Festival. Two years later he developed the production in Vienna, using the same sets and costumes as in Salzburg. His fondness for atmospherically dense spaces in which the characters can fully develop is particularly well brought out in his Vienna production, not least because he had at his disposal two remarkable singing actors for the principal male roles - American baritone Thomas Hampson as Simon Boccanegra and Ferruccio Furlanetto who plays Jacopo Fiesco.
