SYNOPSIS

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. Met Principal Guest Conductor Daniele Rustioni takes the podium to lead Nicolas Joël’s gripping staging, which will be transmitted live from the Met stage to cinemas on December 13.

Saturday, December 13 – 12 p.m.

Sunday, December 21 – 12 p.m.

New for the 2025-26 season: Due to changes with how the Met’s live performances are broadcast, our encore screenings will now be held on the Sunday of the FOLLOWING WEEK instead of the same weekend.
