The Boston National Grand Opera Company opened its week at the Boston Opera House with a brilliant performance of Giordano's Andrea Chenier. Conducted by Roberto Moranzoni, the production drew praise for its singing and staging.
The program showcases Andrea Chénier with performers including Giovanni Zenatello, George Bakisnoff, Luisa Villani Berl, Dorothy Follis La Comtesse, Francesca Peralta, Maria Wialetskaja, Virgilio Lazzari, Paolo Ananian Fouquier, Giorgio Pulli, Romeo Boscacci, Tito Ramo and others in likely roles Il Romansiere and Le Poete with accompanying cast notes.
