Final Dress Rehearsal of Andrea Chénier at the Metropolitan Opera

Giordano’s sweeping tragedy, Andrea Chénier, stars tenor Piotr Beczała as the virtuous poet who falls victim to the intrigue and violence of the French Revolution. Soprano Sonya Yoncheva stars as Chénier’s aristocratic lover, with baritone Igor Golovatenkoas Carlo Gérard, the agent of the Reign of Terror who seals their fates. Conductor Daniele Rustioni drives Nicolas Joël’s riveting staging, delivering an opera that is both epic in scope and deeply human. Optional lunch in a nearby restaurant follows. Please note that this event is for SAJ members only and attendance will be capped at 25 people.
