| Arthaus presents Andrea Chenier, one of the important works of Italian verismo, in a reaIistic staging at the Teatro Communale di Bologna. With José Cura and Maria GuIeghina in the lead roles, the production proved to be a visual and musical feast for opera Iovers. Umberto Giordano wrote his best-known work in 1896. It is based on the life of the French poet, André Chénier. The historicaI figure was born in Constantinople in 1762, the son of a French father and a Greek mother. In 1794, only a few days before Robespierre suffered the same fate, he was executed for his part in a prison uprising. He had been imprisoned for having visited the house of the painter and staunch royalist, the Marquis de Pastoret. InitialIy he had espoused the ideaIs of the Revolution, but his attitude had changed as a result of the arbitrary ruIe that had Ied to the murder of Marat and to the beginning of the Reign of Terror. Carlo Rizzi, highIy-accIaimed conductor of the Italian repertoire with international standing, leads the ensembIe through the score in an admirabIe ltalian singer-conductor tradition. |
