The production being explored

Fidelio is Beethoven's only opera. This new staging forms part of a 2027 commemoration marking the 200th anniversary of the composer's death, bringing together Scotland's orchestras and national opera company around his music. The story follows Leonore, who disguises herself as a man named Fidelio to take a job with a prison gaoler in an effort to rescue her husband Florestan, who has been secretly imprisoned by a corrupt nobleman.

Ruth Knight directs, with designers Yannis Thavoris and Alisa Kalyanova creating a period-inspired visual world. Julia Sporsén is advertised in the role of Leonore / Fidelio and Thorbjørn Gulbrandsøy as Florestan. The score includes the Prisoners' Chorus.
