London Philharmonic Orchestra: Fidelio

Chained in a dungeon, an innocent man awaits certain death. But as the world goes about its business above him, someone has remembered his plight – and maybe, just maybe, the new prison-warder Fidelio holds the key to his fate. Beethoven loved his only opera more than anything he ever wrote. It's a tale of disguises and escapes, of tyranny and freedom, of heroism and love, all set to music of soul-stirring nobility and compassion, and it loses none of its power in concert. Vladimir Jurowski and the LPO are joined by London Voices and a world-class cast to retell one of the most inspiring stories ever set to music.

This performance is sung in German with English narration.
