Antonio Pappano conducts his last-ever production as Music Director of the Royal Opera, with star tenor Jonas Kaufmann as the real-life French Revolutionary poet Ch茅nier. In this tragic, heroic love story Ch茅nier falls for the young aristocrat Maddalena di Coigny, sung by Sondra Radvanovsky... but they're pitted against the revolutionary G茅rard, sung by Amartuvshin Enkhbat, who was once a servant in Maddalena's mother's palace and has loved her from childhood. Giordano and his librettist Luigi Illica paint an astonishingly vivid picture of revolutionary Paris in all its idealism, rivalry and terror. And as Jonas Kaufmann says, you'll be in tears at the end.
Presented by Andrew McGregor in conversation with Sarah Hibberd.
