Giordano’s passionate tragedy stars tenor Piotr Beczała as the virtuous poet who falls victim to the intrigue and violence of the French Revolution. Following their celebrated recent partnership in Giordano’s Fedora in the 2022–23 Live in HD season, Beczała reunites with soprano Sonya Yoncheva as Chénier’s aristocratic lover, Maddalena di Coigny, with baritone Igor Golovatenko as Carlo Gérard, the agent of the Reign of Terror who seals their fates.

Presented in partnership with the Des Moines Metro Opera. A representative from DMMO will be present 30 minutes before each screening to share background on the opera, answer questions, and connect with patrons.

Please note: The ticket price for this screening is $25 for general admission and $22 for seniors/students as set by the distributor.
