First Andrea Chénier on Blu-ray!

After the huge success of Aida, here is the spectacular new production from the Bregenz Festival 2011.

Stage designer David Fielding has worked at important opera houses and with bands including the Pet Shop Boys

“Giordano’s music is verismo of the very highest caliber and drives the high voltage plot forward with breathtaking speed.” Artistic director David Pountney
