In Giordano's passionate tragedy, tenor Piotr Beczała plays the virtuous poet who falls victim to the intrigues and violence of the French Revolution. Following their acclaimed collaboration in Giordano's Fedora in the 2022-23 season of Live in HD, Beczała reunites with soprano Sonya Yoncheva as Chénier's aristocratic lover Maddalena di Coigny and baritone Igor Golovatenko as Carlo Gérard, the agent of the Reign of Terror who seals her fate. The Met's Principal Guest Conductor Daniele Rustioni conducts Nicolas Joël's gripping production, which will be broadcast live from the Met stage to movie theaters on December 13. This live cinema broadcast is part of the Met's award-winning Live in HD series, which brings opera to movie theaters around the world.
