The Met: Live, Beethoven's Fidelio

Pre-screening talk with Joanna Chang, PhD: 12 p.m.

After a series of mesmerizing Live in HD performances, Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen returns to the Metropolitan Opera as Leonore, the devoted wife who risks all to rescue her husband from tyranny in Beethoven’s Fidelio. The stellar cast includes British tenor David Butt Philip as the political prisoner Florestan, Polish bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny as the villainous Don Pizarro, veteran German bass René Pape as the jailer Rocco, Chinese soprano Ying Fang and German tenor Magnus Dietrich as the young Marzelline and Jaquino, and Danish bass Stephen Milling as the principled Don Fernando.
