Andrea Chenier

Directed by Václav Kašlík

With Franco Corelli, Celestina Casapietra, Piero Cappuccilli, Giovanna di Rocco and Gabriella Carturan

France, 1792. Chenier is an idealistic poet, in love with the aristocratic Maddalena. While Chenier supports such notions as "liberte, fraternite egalite," his sympathies do not extend to the current Reign of Terror. Likewise, the Revolutionary Tribunal has no need for poets or their girlfriends, especially those judged to be an Enemy of the State. Heads will roll.
