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?
