Ludwig Van Beethoven: Fidelio
(concert performance, sung in German with an English narration)

Beethoven loved Fidelio, his only opera, more than anything he ever wrote – find out why at this concert performance.

Chained in a dungeon, an innocent man awaits certain death. But as the world goes about its business above him, someone has remembered his plight – and maybe, just maybe, the new prison-warder Fidelio holds the key to his fate.

Beethoven loved his only opera more than anything he ever wrote. It is a tale of disguises and escapes, of tyranny and freedom, of heroism and love, all set to music of soul-stirring nobility and compassion, and it loses none of its power in concert. Vladimir Jurowski and the LPO are joined by London Voices and a world-class cast to retell one of the most inspiring stories ever set to music.
