WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute continues its broadcasts of The Met: Live in HD's 2025–26 season with Umberto Giordano's Andrea Chénier on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 1 pm. 

 

This award-winning series of live, high-definition cinema simulcasts features the full live performance along with backstage interviews and commentary. The Clark broadcasts the opera in its Manton Research Center auditorium.

 

According to a press release:

 

Giordano's passionate tragedy stars tenor Piotr Beczala 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, Beczala 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. Daniele Rustioni takes the podium to lead Nicolas Joël's gripping staging.

 

To complement the broadcast, the Clark's Manton Study Center for Works on Paper hosts a pop-up exhibition of prints and drawings depicting the macabre mood and setting of Andrea Chénier: the bloody Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. The free pop-up display is on view from 11 am to 1 pm on October 18, prior to the broadcast.
