Fidelio

Disguised as ‘Fidelio’, a young woman embarks on a daring mission to free her husband, who has been wrongly imprisoned. But as time begins to run out – and the jailer’s daughter falls in love with her – Fidelio’s hidden identity and her husband’s fate are put in sudden peril.

Beethoven's opera is inspired by an actual event from the French Revolution—a daring real-life rescue that took place in the city of Tours.

Running Time: Approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes, including intermission.
