Discovering Opera - Andrea Chenier
28 September 2011 by CristinaDiscoveriing Opera presented by Cristina Burns.
Andrea Chenier by Umberto Giordano.
Andrea Chenier (1896) is a fiery verisimo work very loosely based on the life and writings of a French poet who was guillotined during the French Revolution. The opera excitingly depicts the excesses of the French aristocracy, the idealism of the revolutionaries in their dreams of freedom, equality, and brotherhood, and the excesses of blood lust that ended the Revolution.
