Ludwig van Beethoven had long wanted to write operas. He wrote only one — but what an opera it is!
Fidelio matches a stirring tale of conjugal love, personal heroism, and the overthrow of tyranny with some of the most glorious and moving music ever composed for the stage. The work’s emotional charge and uplifting subject matter will sweep you away.
Music by Ludwig van Beethoven
Libretto by Josef Sonnleithner with subsequent revisions by Stephan von Breuning and Georg Friedrich Treitschke
