The centerpiece of Opera Lafayette’s 25th-anniversary season was Beethoven’s Leonore (1805), the composer’s first version of his opera Fidelio. The company’s first opera sung in German and its largest production to date, these performances are the culmination of Opera Lafayette’s Leonore Project, which aims to recapture the origins of this touchstone of the operatic canon.

The story of bravery and injustice speaks to us today. A wife disguised as a man seeks to rescue her husband, wrongfully imprisoned and awaiting his death. The score, filled with heartbreaking arias, delightful love duets, and transcendent choral and instrumental works, is recognized as among the most powerful opera compositions.

Opera Lafayette is grateful to have been able to complete our performances and recording of Beethoven’s Leonore in early March and wanted to share this message of hope and love with you. In Beethoven’s only opera Leonore, later known as Fidelio, Leonore faces many challenges in her quest to save her husband from being wrongfully executed. In this aria she draws strength from her faith and vows to carry on despite the fearful days, pains and anxious frights ahead.
Translation
Come, o hope, do not let the last star
Of the weary fade away!
Come, oh come shine over their goal,
Even if it is still distant
Love, love will reach it
