"Fidelio, Beethoven's only opera, is a searing tale of love, couple with the triumph of freedom over oppression.”

"Beethoven struggled for eight years to produce his only opera, Fidelio. It was performed before the crowned heads of Europe at the Congress of Vienna in 1814, and has remained in the repertoire ever since. Its story of how true love will always triumph, coupled with the inevitable defeat of political oppression, is as relevant today as when Beethoven composed it two centuries ago."
