The Metropolitan Opera: Fidelio, 2025 - ★★★★½

Was actually at the Metropolitan Opera House this afternoon, so saw this live (and from the cheap seats!)

Eternally moved by Beethoven's exhortation against tyranny. I am a relative opera neophyte - but this production was incredibly engaging - with Lise Davidsen's Leonore/Fidelio the clear highlight.

Love and courage remain the only path to freedom.

Fidelio Lives!
