Leonore hasn’t seen her beloved Florestan for two years. Pizarro has been holding Florestan captive for two years. Is Florestan a dangerous monster or a sneaky thief? Not at all. Florestan has one huge passion, singing, and his songs make people dream. Pizarro, however, will not tolerate such dreaming. He has decided to stop Florestan from singing once and for all by locking him inside a secret dungeon, deep underground. But Leonore is determined to free her friend!

After the hugely successful fairy-tale opera Princess Turandot, WALPURGIS and HETPALEIS are introducing young children to yet another opera classic. This time, director Judith Vindevogel has opted for Beethoven’s first and only opera. Fidelio is a thrilling liberation opera with a touch of humour and a generous pinch of romance. The (young) viewers will be sitting among the actors so as to experience Leonore’s adventures ‘first hand’ while they plunge in the vibrant music of Beethoven and the wonderful world of opera
