    Houston Grand Opera (HGO) presents Fidelio, by Ludwig van Beethoven.  Running Friday October 28, 2011 - Sunday November 13, 2011, in the Wortham Theater Center - Brown Theater. Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio, is a soaring musical testament to the ideals of courage, justice and freedom.

    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.
