4André Chenier. Umberto Giordano's four-act opera was first performed in 1896 at La Scala, Milan. It is based on incidents in the life of Marie André Chenier, a French poet born at Constantinople, 1762, and guillotined July 25, 1794, three days before the close of the Terror. After serving in the army and diplomatic corps, Chenier had thrown himself with enthusiasm into the French Revolution, but finally alarmed by its excesses, he attacked Robespierre, who ordered his imprisonment. The action opens in the year 1789 in the Château of Count de Coigny. The next three acts take place in Paris, and the opera closes as Chenier passes through the courtyard of the prison of St. Lazare on his way to the scaffold, accompanied by Madeleine de Coigny, who has elected to die with him. In the revival at the Manhattan Opera House, New York, 1908, M. Bassi sang the name part, and Mme. Eva Tetrazzini-Campanini that of Madeleine.
