An introduction to Giordano's ANDREA CHÉNIER - Hungarian State Opera

In the bloody shadow of the French Revolution's reign of terror, a poet and a revolutionary vie for the affections of a noblewoman. Can the guillotine be stopped as their friendship turns to rivalry?
In Andrea Chénier, the poet’s fate transcends actual events, telling the story of a tragic love triangle in which the lives of the protagonists are subject to the forces of history, betrayal and amorous passion. Along the way, Umberto Giordano's music, full of elegant aristocratic dances and popular revolutionary songs, perfectly captures the atmosphere of Paris before and during the French Revolution. Award-winning young director Fabio Ceresa returns to the Erkel Theatre for this impressive period production.

Den "kleineren Opern" wie Andrea Chénier, Lakmé, La Wally, Die Perlenfischer etc. ist am besten gedient, wenn sie ohne Regie-Theater-Schnickschnack, d.h so wie sie geschrieben wurden, auf die Bühne gebracht werden. Der Publikums-Erfolg ist ihnen dann sicher, denn die Geschichten und die Musik sprechen für sich. - Grüße an alle, die ohne die Alpträume verhinderter Regisseure auskommen, Heinz
