“The triumph of fidelity, freedom, and the human spirit.”

Beethoven’s only opera is a towering tour de force.

When her husband is thrown into prison for his passionate stand against tyranny, Leonore faces her life’s pivotal moment.  Does she wait and risk his death or do whatever it takes to save his life? For her, the edge is a place to jump heroically into action.  

Her courage and fidelity drive a harrowing rescue that will have you cheering in one of opera’s most uplifting endings.

Beethoven’s triumphant score—as symphonic as it is vocal—is a magnificent tribute to fidelity, freedom, and the indomitable human spirit.

 

Sung in German with projected English translations.

Performances held at the Keller Auditorium.

Performance time is approximately 2 hours, 30 minutes, with one intermission.
