Sunday at 1400 the opera was Andrea Chenier, a revelation of a soprano Gabriele Lechner, a beautifully sung Maddalena, the Andrea Chenier of the day was Giuseppe Giacomini, was a disappointment, but the "old guy" Giorgio Zancanaro was a much better Gerard than in the video from Covent Garden

with Plácido. The regie was genial, the "lights" told a sweet love-story before the Improvviso and during Fleville's romanza.

Great choreography and acting, all the singers and chorus.
