Why watch Fidelio?

A masterpiece that took Beethoven over a decade to perfect, this remains one of opera's most powerful cries for freedom. Rising superstar Lise Davidsen, whose recent string of Met performances has left audiences spellbound, brings her radiant voice to the role of Leonore. Under the masterful direction of Susanna Mälkki, this contemporary production finds startling modern resonance in a story that has marked historic moments of liberation around the world, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the reopening of the Vienna State Opera after World War II. Whether it's your first opera or your hundredth, you are bound to be moved by the transcendent Prisoners' Chorus, thrilled by the dramatic rescue scene, and uplifted by one of opera's most joyous finales in "O namenlose Freude" - get tickets to Fidelio opera now!

The story

Dressed in a guard's uniform and armed with nothing but her fierce love, Leonore infiltrates a high-security prison where her husband Florestan wastes away in darkness for daring to expose corruption. As the sinister governor Don Pizarro plots murder to silence his political enemy forever, Leonore navigates a dangerous maze of deception and an unwanted romance with the jailer's daughter to save her husband. Will her love triumph over all?
