Andréa

How could the son of a graduate historian and a secretary, who liked to adorn himself with fast cars, fake eyelashes and expensive clothes, who wanted to become an artist, journalist or film director, become the "public enemy No. 1"?

This live from the Met telecast from October 1996 of Giordano’s infrequently performed verismo gem is an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to and I highly recommend it. Nicholas Joel’s production is extremely elegant while at the same time being simple and uncluttered. Act I, for example, is dominated by an enormous gilt-framed mirror precariously tilted. I assume that it is a metaphor for the imminent downfall of the decadent aristocracy at the party given by the Contessa di Coigny. The costumes designs by Hubert Monloup are terrific. The prerevolutionary costumes in Act I are simply stunning each one individually tailored for the choristers and major performers.

A Documentary about the Concerto given in Central Park in 2011

First feature film produced by the German pioneer Oskar Messter

In this performance video recorded in 2006 at Villa Trissoni-Marzotto, acclaimed Italian pianist Andrea Bacchetti delivers a spellbinding interpretation of composer Johann Sebastian Bach's famed Goldberg Variations. Written for the harpsichord, the work -- an outstanding example of Bach's lyrical wit and technical skill -- is the final part in a series of keyboard music published in 1742 under the title "Clavier-Übung."

Celebrated tenor vocalist and classical-pop crossover Andrea Bocelli toplines this live concert from 2011. Mounted in New York City's Central Park, it features appearances by frequent Bocelli collaborators Celine Dion and David Foster. Selections include: "My Prayer," "Ave Maria," "Amarcord," Home On the Range," and many more.

This independently-produced documentary focuses on the life of Andreas Papandreou, one of Europe’s most controversial leaders. In doing so it attempts to address the pitfalls of charismatic leadership and the limits of democratic politics under a system of economic globalization.

For the first time, Andrea Bocelli presents a full length spanish album that features no classical influences. Spanish guitars flourish, accordions and harmonicas provide charming melodies, traditional Latin percussion insistently keeps the tempo. Sometimes Andrea shares the spotlight with just a grand piano. Beautiful orchestras remain, but for 'Amor' Andrea stylistically exchanges the grandeur of a 19th century European opera house for the romance of a 20th century Hollywood sound studio. Amor features Latin American classics including: 'Besame Mucho' (the song was a million selling US hit for Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra in 1941). Universal. 2006.

In the bloody shadow of the French Revolution's reign of terror, a poet and a revolutionary vie for the affections of a noblewoman. Can the guillotine be stopped as their friendship turns to rivalry? In Andrea Chénier, the poet’s fate transcends actual events, telling the story of a tragic love triangle in which the lives of the protagonists are subject to the forces of history, betrayal and amorous passion. Along the way, Umberto Giordano's music, full of elegant aristocratic dances and popular revolutionary songs, perfectly captures the atmosphere of Paris before and during the French Revolution. Winner of the 2016 International Opera Award for Young Director, Fabio Ceresa returns to the Erkel Theatre for this impressive period production.

Andrea B tells the story of Andrea, a girl who feels she is a boy and who really wants to become one, but who has to face the prejudices and hostility of her family to do so.
