Come and join us on March 29, 2025 to the MET in HD rebroadcast of FIDELIO.

Fidelio’s unusual structure, glorious score, and life-affirming aura make it a unique experience. It has been called a hymn to freedom and human dignity. Fidelio is Beethoven’s first and only opera. It had a long and complex gestation.

World Premiere: Theater am Kärntnertor, Vienna, 1814.

The opera is sung in German with English surtitles. The performance lasts 2 hours and 40 minutes that includes 30 minutes intermission.
