Phot.Austria.Bregenz.André.Chénier.01.081112.1433.jpg

Austria, Bregenz, lake stage festival theatre, summer festival 2011, “André Chénier”, opera by Umberto Giordano during the French revolution.

Lake Constance as bath tub, director Keith Warner & set designer David Fielding have chosen “The Death of Marat”, an iconic painting by the revolutionary artist Jacques-Louis David, as the symbol & inspiration for their staging of “André Chénier”. It is the first time that a historical painting has served as the basis for a Bregenz stage set, which towers 24 metres high above Lake Constance.

Set against the background of the French Revolution, the opera “André Chénier”, which premiered at “La Scala Milan” in 1896, is a historical drama of sharp perceptivity & a human tragedy of devastating intensity; appealing both as a passionate love story & as a historical thriller.
