Irish National Opera

Get the inside track on Beethoven’s 'Fidelio' with Irish National Opera.

Did you know… Beethoven struggled for years with his great freedom opera, Fidelio? He wrote no less than four overtures for it, and always preferred to call it by its original name, Leonore. Join us for Fidelio in Focus, an introduction to Beethoven’s Fidelio delivered by director of the Royal Irish Academy of Music, Deborah Kelleher. This event will take a deeper look at the opera, exploring the music and the context in which it was created. This event is designed to give a deeper understanding of Beethoven’s Fidelio which will enhance the experience of the live performances taking place at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin, from 7-13 November. However, it is equally of value to those with a more general interest in musical and cultural history. The event will last for approximately 1 hour and will be available to access online. Access details will be provided on the day of the event via email.
