Leonore is willing to sacrifice her own life to save Florestan, her husband, an innocent political prisoner. Disguised as Fidelio, an apprentice to the jailor, her bravery prevents her Florestan’s assassination by a corrupt governor.

The symphonic brilliance of the orchestral score is matched by heroic vocal writing in this story of a wife’s selfless and courageous love.

A production of The Metropolitan Opera.

Sung in German with projected translations.
