Life by the famous French poet André Chénier (1762-1794) is the subject of Umberto Giordano's most acclaimed opera, one of the most representative members of the school of verism and, in particular, of Giovane Scuola (on a libretto by Luigi Illica). The work, the plot of which is set at the time of the French Revolution, was premiered at La Scala in Milan on March 28, 1896, a century after this great event whose ideals decisively influenced the development of the stages in the work. Hellenic space which culminated in the War of Independence - known as the Revolution of 1821. The timeless values ​​carried by the work - the motto of the French Revolution, Liberty - Equality - Fraternity - combined with the powerful element of love and drama and showcased by the elegant music of Giordano, are the reason why this opera has such an impact, even today, on the amateur public of the lyric theater.https://tickets.public.gr/

The Greek National Opera is opening 2022 with a revival of Umberto Giordano’s iconic opera Andrea Chénier inside the Stavros Niarchos Hall of the GNO at the SNFCC, conducted by Philippe Auguin and directed by Nikos Petropoulos. This opera tells the life story of French poet Andrea Chénier (1762-1794). In the year 1789, we find Chénier supporting the Revolution from within Paris’ aristocratic circles and joining the revolutionary movement alongside Gérard, who goes from being a servant of the aristocracy to becoming one of the leading figures of the sans-culottes, common people of the lower classes actively involved in the revolutionary political struggle (dubbed sans-culottes –literally “without breeches”– since, unlike the aristocracy who wore silk breeches cut below the knee, they wore long trousers called pantaloons). However, the love of these two men for the same women tips their friendship into rivalry. Three years later, when Chénier is arrested as a conspirator against the Revolution, Gérard drafts the charges indicting him. Though Gérard will later realise the error of his ways and try to free the poet, his efforts are in vain and Chénier is led to the guillotine.

The timeless values spotlighted by this opera, so artfully combined with the work’s intensely erotic and dramatic elements, and brought to the fore by Giordano’s captivating music, help explain why this particular opera has proven so very popular with audiences, right through to the present day. Performing the lead roles are such internationally acclaimed soloists as Marcelo Puente, Marcelo Álvarez, Cellia Costea, Eva-Maria Westbroek, Dimitri Platanias, and Elchin Azizov, among others.
