Leonore’s husband, a Spanish nobleman named Florestan, has been sentenced to starve in prison for trying to expose a nefarious warden. And so, the brave and faithful Leonore infiltrates the fortress where her lover is being kept—by impersonating a young man named Fidelio. Now she’s on a mission to save her beloved and free his fellow political prisoners. Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio, is a tale of truth versus corruption, the boundless limits of the human spirit and enduring love, all beautifully accentuated with an awe-inspiring score. The opera runs through Feb. 25. (SP)
