Deutsche Oper Berlin. Andrea Chenier by Giordano. June 23, 2022.
Deutsche Oper Berlin. Parkett 1 Left (Seat Series 9, Rank 22, 82 euros).Story. See previous post.Conductor - John Fiore; Andrea Chenier - Martin Muehle, Carlo Gerard - Juan Jesus Rodriguez, Maddalena di Coigny - Arianna Manganello; Madelon - Stefanie Toczyska.The last Andrea Chenier we saw was in London, in 2019, and the headliners were Roberto Alagna and Sondra Radvanovsky. That was a great performance, and I didn't expect tonight's show would top that (or what I remember of it). It didn't, but came close though.Taken from Opera's website. Top one shows Chenier being tried and sentenced to death.How the rich lived before the revolution.While I suspected there is a sound enhancement system at the State Opera, there is no doubt that here there is none.

But we’d like to write about Heinrich Isaac, as we haven’t done so before. Isaac, a contemporary of Josquin des Prez and Jacob Obrecht, was born around 1450 in southern Flanders, probably in the Duchy of Brabant. As usually is the case with the composers of the era, little is known about his youth. He’s first mentioned in 1484 as a composer at the court of Duke Sigismund of Austria in Innsbruck. In 1485 he was already in Florence, singing (and probably composing) at the magnificent Baptistry, at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and the Basilica della Santissima […]
