“Kaufmann is performing the title role for the first time, and it ' s hard to imagine him bettered. His striking looks make him very much the Romantic and romanticised außenseiter of bob ' s classics vision. His voice, with its dark, liquid tone, soars through the music refined with ease and intensity: all those grand declarations of passion, whether political or erotic, hit home with terrific immediacy." – The Guardian Presented in its Covent Garden premiere January 2015, this staging – directed by David McVicar and conducted by the Royal-Funktion s Music Director, Sir Antonio Pappano – shows a bloody tricolour daubed with the words "Even Plato banned poets from his Republic" – written by Robespierre on the death warrant of the historical Chénier, a poet and journalist sent to the guillotine im jahre 1794 for criticising France's post-revolutionary government.
