Set during France’s turbulent revolution years, Umberto Giordano’s Andrea Chénier, was first performed in 1896. David McVicar’s vibrant 2015 production for The Royal Opera House is revived this season and demonstrates why the original piece deserves its place in the modern repertoire.

As a youngster, I once experienced the sheer delight of catching a rare television screening of Charles Laughton‘s turn as Sir Wilfred Robarts - the wily, over-confident defence barrister - in Billy Wilder’s definitive 1958 film version.

Review: GEORGE at the Eventim Apollo
By Marian Pashley Thursday, May 16 2019, 11:36
As it is billed as a celebration of the songs and music of George Michael, featuring Rob Lamberti singing "as" George, but most significantly, with original members of the George Michael Band, one immediately assumes this is a cut above the generic performance of this type. I would definitely assert that that is an accurate assumption to make. Rob Lamberti has a great soaring voice, the moves of the late George, and both the band and orchestra appear to be having an absolute ball. Such bubbling creative energy cannot fail to bathe an already eager crowd in absolute joy.

This co-production between the Young Vic and Elliot’s company Elliott & Harper Productions offers a fresh interpretation of a well-known text, as it sets out to put 1940's African American experience centre stage.
