Simon Boccanegra

Opera by Verdi (libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, based on a Spanish drama by Gutiérrez), produced at the Teatro La Fenice, Venice, on 12 March 1857. A revised version, with the libretto altered by Boito, was produced at La Scala, Milan, on 24 March 1881. The story concerns the Doge of Venice Boccanegra, who discovers his long-lost illegitimate daughter, Amelia. She loves his enemy, Gabriele Adorno, and he and Boccanegra are reconciled. In the end, Boccanegra dies, poisoned by his jealous courtier, Paolo.

THE CRITICAL EAR by The Santa Fe New Mexican (Santa Fe, NM)
There's little here to suggest that Villazon was approaching "collapse" at the time, though there are moments, most notably in a chunk of Verdi's Simon Boccanegra, where you become conscious of undue pressure in his tone.
