Giordano’s Andrea Chénier: “Ora soave” (Sonya Yoncheva, Piotr Beczała)

Sonya Yoncheva and Piotr Beczała sing an excerpt from Maddalena di Coigny and the title character’s Act II duet in the final dress rehearsal. Production: Nicolas Joël. Conductor: Daniele Rustioni. 2025–26 season.

Giordano’s gripping drama of the French Revolution blends verismo’s focus on raw emotion with the spectacle of grand opera. This immediately comes through in a stirring score replete with full-throated singing. But Andrea Chénier does not depend entirely on spotlight moments for its impact, with the subtle touches of secondary roles and the composer’s handling of the chorus uniting with the powerful solos to form a remarkably integrated score.
