13:00 ROBERT K. JOHNSON FOUNDATION METROPOLITAN OPERA RADIO NETWORK with Debra Lew Harder
Giordano’s Andrea Chénier
The Metropolitan Opera’s 2025-26 season of Saturday matinee broadcasts continues on December 13 with a live broadcast of Giordano’s Andrea Chénier. Polish tenor Piotr Beczała sings the title role of the poet whose ideals and passion transcend the violence of the French Revolution and Reign of Terror. Soprano Sonya Yoncheva is Maddalena, the noblewoman who loses everything except her love for Chénier; and baritone Igor Golovatenko is the servant-turned-revolutionary Carlo Gérard. The acclaimed cast also features Nancy Fabiola Herrera, Siphokazi Molteno, Olesya Petrova, Brenton Ryan, Guriy Gurev, and Maurizio Muraro. Principal Guest Conductor Daniele Rustioni leads the Met Orchestra and Chorus in this verismo favorite. Andrea Chénier will be heard live over the Robert K. Johnson Foundation-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, December 13, 2025.
