Video: 'wer Ein Holdes Weib Errungen' from Beethoven's FIDELIO at Lyric Opera of Chicago
Performances continue through October 10th, 2024.
Watch the joyful finale of Beethoven's FIDELIO where Leonore (Elza van den Heever) and Florestan (Russell Thomas) celebrate freedom and love after Pizzaro's corrupt schemes are exposed. Check out the video!
Leonore disguises herself as a young man in order to work in the prison, hoping to rescue her husband. Enrique Mazzola conducts this timeless political thriller in Matthew Ozawa’s production. Vocally radiant, uniquely charismatic South African soprano Elza van den Heever is joined by two exciting American artists and Lyric favorites — tenor Russell Thomas and baritone Brian Mulligan.
