AUDITORIUM CINEMA, OPERA: "ANDREA CHENIER", music by UMBERTO GIORDANO
LIVE FROM "THE ROYAL OPERA HOUSE" IN LONDON
Synopsis:
During a sumptuous party in 18th century Paris, the poet Andrea Chénier delivers an impassioned speech in which he criticises Louis XVI. Five years later, the Revolution has given way to terror, transforming the balance of power between Chénier, his beloved Maddalena, and Gérard, the man who could destroy him...
Jonas Kaufmann leads David McVicar's spectacular staging under the baton of regular collaborator Antonio Pappano, who conducts Giordano's epic historical drama of revolution and forbidden love in his latest production as music director of the Royal Opera.
