The Metropolitan Opera’s award-winning Live in HD series comes to Guild Hall with a live cinema transmission of Giordano’s passionate tragedy “Andrea Chénier” on Saturday, December 13, from 1 to 5 p.m.
The opera stars tenor Piotr Beczała as the virtuous poet caught in the intrigue and violence of the French Revolution. He reunites with soprano Sonya Yoncheva as Chénier’s aristocratic lover, Maddalena di Coigny, following their acclaimed collaboration in Giordano’s Fedora. Baritone Igor Golovatenko plays Carlo Gérard, the agent of the Reign of Terror who seals their fates. Met principal guest conductor Daniele Rustioni leads Nicolas Joël’s staging in the live transmission from the Met stage.
