Ludwig van Beethoven: Fidelio

Ludwig van Beethoven: Fidelio

Premiered in 1805, Fidelio is Beethoven’s only opera and a powerful hymn to freedom, justice, and marital fidelity. The heroine Leonore, disguised as a prisoner under the name Fidelio, braves great dangers to free her husband Florestan, who has been unjustly imprisoned. With music of unprecedented dramatic and spiritual intensity, Beethoven fuses the revolutionary spirit of his age with a universal vision of hope and love.
