Description
At a glittering party in 18th-century Paris, the poet Andréa Chenier delivers an impassioned
denunciation of Louis XVI. Five years later, the Revolution has given way to the Terror,
transforming the power balance between Chénier, his beloved Maddalena, and Gérard, the man
who could destroy him...
Jonas Kaufmann headlines David McVicar’s spectacular staging, under the baton of long-time
collaborator Antonio Pappano – who conducts Giordano’s epic historical drama of revolution
and forbidden love in his last production as Music Director of The Royal Opera.
