"Andrea Chenier," usually considered his best work, contains passages _ of lyric beauty and moments of great dramatic force: not the old-fashioned type of opera With set numbers, It follows the style of Verdi’s later works. Though Andrea Chenier is an historical character, Giordano’s librettist, Luigi Mica, has turned his life into fiction. Chenler was a poet, dreamer and patriot, who was born in Constantinople, but received his education in Paris. Later he became a participant in and vietim of the French evolution. The libretto gives us & ieture of life in France just before and during the Revolution, "The Marseillaise"’ ig used with great effect in this work, ' ; 8.45 Sunday Evening Talk 9. 0 Newsreel and aeageyae 9.20 Weekly News Summary in ~ Maori , Bia 9.30 Station notices 9.33 Continuation of Opera . 41. 0 LONDON NEWS 41.20 CLOSE DOWN : ly 2] 6. i Selected’ Recordings 8.30 and Music with Vocal Interludes ‘ : 40.
