The best Puccini opera Puccini never wrote! Set against the roiling backdrop of the French Revolution, this opera spins a fictitious story about a very real poet, André Chénier, and his dangerous ideas. Poignant vignettes paint the heartrending story of the revolutionary and his dear Maddalena, whose tender hopes for love in a better world are extinguished at the guillotine. Sung in Italian with projected English translations. Conducted by Jerome Shannon and directed by John Hoomes.
