Fidelio at the Volksoper Wien

About the Event

A woman disguises herself as a man to look for her husband, a political prisoner languishing in a state dungeon. After his joyful release, Leonore'’s fidelity to Florestan is celebrated in a song of praise idealising marital love.

Did Beethoven choose the ideal of faithful love between husband and wife as a lifeline after the political utopias of his time had given rise to a terrible reality?
