Giordano’s opera, not seen at the Royal Swedish Opera since 1909, is a broad fresco of the French Revolution, its hopes and horrors, depicted in powerful, vivid images with a gallery of captivating characters. Opera brightly depicts how the state's transformations literally crush the destinies of intellectuals, which sadly has something in common with nowadays events at Dmitry Bertman's homeland.
