About

With Andrea Chénier, Giordano turned a French Revolutionary poet into an iconic role in the Italian operatic repertoire. The opera was popular from the very first performance at the premiere, and went on to be a huge hit in Italy and worldwide. The exception was France, where the work was deemed to be too “counterrevolutionary”! Working with a very tight libretto, Giordano composed an irresistibly lyrical score ticking all the popular boxes: a rich sound palette, heroic passages, passionate feelings, and humanist ideals. A first-rate trio is therefore required to take on the roles of Chénier, Madeleine, and Gérard. This evening, a dream team will do full justice to this work which is all too seldom performed on the French stage.
