Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Part of An Opera in Cinema Special Presentation series, Placido Domingo returns to La Scala in the title role of Verdi's Simon Boccanegra, shown live in cinemas around the world on April 29.

The opera also stars Ferruccio Furlanetto and Anja Harteros. It is conducted by Daniel Barenboim and directed by Federico Tiezzi.

It will be broadcast live in digital HD in cinemas across the US and Europe directly from Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Italy at 2 pm EST/11 am PST. Tickets are $25.

At 69, Domingo will take on the baritone role of the Doge of Genoa, after singing tenor roles.

The world-renowned opera singer underwent surgery in March for a malignant colon polyp.

Simon Boccanegra will be repeated as an encore presentation on June 2010. Check www.operaincinema.com for schedules at participating cinemas.
