Join us for a preview lecture of Seattle Opera’s upcoming production of Beethoven’s sole operatic work, “Fidelio” Monday, October 1, 2012, 6:30 – 7:30 pm at the West Seattle (Admiral) Library. Seattle Opera educators will present an hour-long, engaging multimedia lecture that covers the basics of the opera’s history, music and stagecraft.
Full Description: “Fidelio” is a celebration of freedom where justice and love triumph over oppression and tyranny. Devoted wife Leonore poses as a male prison guard (Fidelio) in order to rescue her husband, who was wrongly imprisoned for his political beliefs. Beethoven’s dramatic score escalates a simple and powerful human drama to a triumphant final chorus that fills the stage with joy.
