THIS WEEK : since Christmas is upon us, the cover engraving by Helman (reproduced by courtesy of the Spencer Collection, New York Public Library) may be interpreted as depicting toy soldiers against a color appropriate to the season. Actually it is part of a panorama of the storming of the Tuileries on August 10, 1792, a key event in the bloody period against which Andrea Chenier unfolds. A paradox of the Giordano work is analyzed by Mary Jane Matz, while Jane W. Stedman summarizes the poet's life and Madolin Shorey Cervantes introduces the designer of the current Metropolitan .production. One of the last interviews ever granted by the late Beniamino Gigli was the basis of Joseph F. Tomaselli's warm tribute to the tenor, to which Major James M. Alfonte supplies a critical corrective in his review of the Gigli autobiography. F. J. Freeman concludes her series with a glance ahead to Lincoln Center.
