Giordano’s sweeping tragedy returns, featuring tenor Piotr Beczała as the noble poet Andrea Chénier, caught in the turmoil of the French Revolution. Reuniting after their acclaimed performance in Fedora, Beczała joins soprano Sonya Yoncheva as Maddalena, the aristocrat who loves him, and baritone Igor Golovatenko as Carlo Gérard, the revolutionary whose choices determine their fate. Under the baton of Daniele Rustioni, Nicolas Joël’s riveting production brings this tale of passion, betrayal, and political upheaval to life with stirring intensity.
