Based on a true incident which occurred during the French Revolution,Fidelio is Beethoven’s only opera. Depicting the rescue of a political prisoner by his wife, who has disguised herself as a man, its themes of courage, marital loyalty and freedom make it one of the most uplifting and inspirational masterpieces of musical theatre.
