Florindo Andreolli

フランコ・ゼッフィレッリ演出のオペラ映画のサウンドトラックとして録音されたものです。19世紀の南イタリアを舞台に繰り広げられる愛憎劇。愛するが故の嫉妬が生んだ結末まで、ドミンゴの迫真の演技と熱唱によるヴェリズモ・オペラの傑作です。

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.
