This was the first time i really listened to this opera and was impressed.
I heard a lot of Beethoven in the music..
What i thought it lacked was memorable melody like
Fidelio and the great Mozart operas.
It has excellent drama though and is worth listening to.

I see this Wednesday at my HD theater so I just listened to the opera on my local radio station.
I am trepidacious about Beczala's voice. There is a beginning of wobbles on the highs and I actually thought perhaps he was getting tired near the end and summoned up all of his courage to pull through -- and he did so sucessfully. Perhaps this role is not right for him. At least I hope that's the reason. He's got so much to offer.
I am looking forward to seeing Yoncheva because her voice has deepened considerably since I last saw her and now she's got one fine deep chest tone. But wobbles are starting with her as well. (menopause?)
After writing Andrea Chenier I find this one to be a letdown by Giordano.

Enjoy it in HD!!!!!!!!
