Ozarks Lyric Opera brings Beethoven’s only opera to the historic Gillioz stage for the very first
time. Starring internationally-acclaimed tenor, Ric Furman, this masterful “rescue opera” tells the
redemptive story of a woman’s heroic journey to save her husband from prison after being
wrongfully detained by a political rival.

This Springfield-area Premiere features the famous “Prisoner’s Chorus” and Beethoven’s typical
lush, passionate music which was written at a time when he was experiencing his own
Deafness and is now seen as a daring, Romantic Period tale of the composer’s own triumph
over oppression.
