Just three days after her appearances as Iolanta, Sonya Yoncheva brings her much-acclaimed portrayal of Maddalena di Coigny in Andrea Chénier to the Wiener Staatsoper, where earlier in this season she had also received accolades as Tosca. Umberto Giordano’s best-known work, staged by Otto Otto Schenk, is conducted by Pier Giorgio Morandi. The star-studded cast includes – among others – Michael Fabiano in the title role and Luca Salsi as Gérard. The premiere is on April 8, with two additional shows on April 12, and 15, 2025.

The Plovdiv-born soprano debuted the role of the noblewoman Maddalena di Coigny at the Teatro alla Scala in 2023. Other Giordano heroines in her repertoire include Stephana in Siberia and the protagonist of Fedora.

France, during the French Revolution: The revolutionary-minded poet Andrea Chénier falls into the clutches of Robespierre’s Reign of Terror and is suspected of being a counter-revolutionary.

His fate is closely intertwined with that of the young noblewoman Maddalena Coigny and the former servant Gérard: both men love Maddalena, while she loves Chénier. In the end, however, death awaits them—Andrea Chénier and Maddalena Coigny ascend the scaffold together.
