* HeinousnessRetcon: Paolo Albiani is introduced as a cunning politician, morally grey but ultimately good enough for Doge Simon Boccanegra to make him his trusted advisor. A TimeSkip of twenty-five years later, he is suddenly so evil that he kidnaps Amelia Grimaldi when the latter refuses to marry him and then poisons Simon after the latter condemns the kidnapping. And on top of that? Apparently, his villainy is so obvious that when Amelia first meets Simon and tells him Paolo is a wicked GoldDigger (and at that point, she has seen Paolo in person for several seconds), Simon immediately believes her, even though before the TimeSkip, he treats Paolo as firmly an ally.

One of Verdi's least famous operas, it breaks the Verdi mold in many ways, primarily by not having a completely tragic ending.
