Simone Young Conducts Beethoven's Fidelio: Fidelio Beethoven

“They electrify this story for now.”
Actor Virginia Gay takes us behind the scenes of rehearsals for Fidelio, and explains her role in bringing Beethoven’s only opera to life through new texts by Indigenous author Tyson Yunkaporta.

While Beethoven’s genius was extraordinary, it was always grounded in his deeply felt humanity. In his only opera, Fidelio, this powerful marriage of music and message draws on themes of adversity, persecution, and triumph through sacrifice and determination.
Simone Young brings Fidelio to the Concert Hall in spectacular fashion, with her three decades of experience leading productions of Beethoven’s opera around the globe. The exceptional international cast is led by the phenomenal Elza van den Heever and Simon O’Neill.

Fidelio’s story is reimagined for these performances by First Nations author Tyson Yunkaporta who has written new texts to illustrate the opera’s dramatic themes of love, self-sacrifice and the journey to enlightenment. Yunkaporta draws us deeper into Beethoven’s compelling and uplifting landscape of memory, hope and human aspiration.
