Andrea Chénier - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Opera in two parts, four acts, in Italian, with Hungarian and English surtitles

“The revolution does not need poets!” These were said to be the prosecutor's final words when the revolutionary tribunal sentenced Andrea Chénier to death during the bloodiest period of the French Revolution. In Umberto Giordano's work, Chénier's fate transcends actual events and becomes the story of a tragic love triangle in which the protagonists' lives are exposed to the forces of history, betrayal and love's passion.
Giordano's music perfectly captures the atmosphere of Paris before and during the French Revolution. Not only does he present elegant aristocratic dances and popular revolutionary songs like La Marseillaise, but he also gives the main characters melodies of irresistible beauty.
