Leonore erschleicht sich in Männerkleidung unter dem Namen Fidelio das Vertrauen des Kerkermeisters Rocco und seiner Tochter Marzelline. So verschafft sie sich Zutritt zum Hochsicherheitstrakt, wo ihr Mann Florestan von Don Pizzaro willkürlich festgehalten wird. Florestan schwebt in Todesgefahr, diese scheut seine Frau nicht und will ihn befreien. Beider Rettung ist jedoch nur durch einen Gesandten des Monarchen möglich. Am Ende leuchtet eine Utopie in Form eines Schlusschors, der nicht nur für Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit steht, sondern zugleich gegen die Ängste und Schranken des menschlichen Daseins ansingt.

Pläne für Opernkompositionen hatte Beethoven viele, doch realisiert hat er schließlich nur ein Projekt: In einem jahrzehntelangen Schaffens- und Umarbeitungsprozess wurde aus der französischen Vorlage, der Rettungsoper Leonore oder die eheliche Treue des Komponisten Pierre Gaveaux und Librettisten Jean Nicolas Bouilly, die auf einer wahren Begebenheit aus der Revolutionsepoche basiert, Beethovens einzige fertig gestellte Oper Fidelio – eine musikalische Grenzüberschreitung zwischen Singspiel und theatraler Symphonie.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass es zu Beginn der Vorstellung zu einem Stroboskopeffekt auf der Bühne kommt.

Deutsch

Dressed as a man and calling herself “Fidelio”, Leonore surreptitiously gains the confidence of the jailer Rocco and his daughter Marzelline, thus gaining access to the high security tract where her husband Florestan has been despotically incarcerated by Don Pizarro. Florestan is in mortal danger, but this does not intimidate his wife, who is determined to liberate him. Finally, however, the two of them can only be rescued by an emissary from the monarch. At the end, a Utopia in the form of a final chorus sets the stage aglow, not only as a plea for freedom and justice, but also concurrently as a condemnation of the anxieties and restrictions of human existence.

Beethoven had several plans for operatic compositions, but he only managed to realize one of these projects: in a decades-long process of creativity and rewriting, inspired by a French work entitled Léonore or Marital Loyalty by composer Pierre Gaveaux and librettist Jean Nicolas Bouilly, which was in turn based on a real event from the epoch of the French Revolution, Beethoven crafted his only opera, Fidelio – a musical cross-over between a light opera and a grandiose theatrical symphony.
