Fidelio might seem like a surprising choice of opera
for the Christmas season, but it could be considered extremely apt for
the times in which we are currently living. A husband and wife, Leonore and
Florestan, are enduring a long separation. Florestan is in almost complete
isolation from the world, with limited contact with his jailers. Leonore,
disguised as a boy named Fidelio, is taking on another role which is completely
alien to her in order to survive a difficult time.
