Beethoven’s Fidelio is presented from Theater St. Gallen, Switzerland's leading Opera House. This is a terrific performance that is taut, luminous, and deeply human. Jacquelyn Wagner’s Leonore is radiant, and the staging gives space for Beethoven’s score to speak with urgency. This is opera with moral weight and the musical clarity is emotionally gripping, and beautifully filmed. For the opera lover who treasures the score yet yearns for a staging that feels alive, this Fidelio delivers.
