Composed in various stages between 1805 and 1814, Fidelio tells the story of Leonore, who disguises herself as the title character in order to infiltrate a prison where her husband has been kept as a political prisoner, in the hopes of rescuing him. Subverting the traditional “rescue opera” of the 18th century with a female lead character, Beethoven’s opera resonates with us today as a portrayal of the triumph of love over injustice in the invisible city that is a prison. Cast & Credits: Leonore: Felicia Teo KaixinFlorestan: David Charles TayMarzelline: Joyce Lee TungJaquino: Jonathan Charles TayPizarro: Alvin TanRocco: David Tao Chen MingDirector: Moira LohPianist: Pamela KrakauerThis event is part of: PROLOGUE 10 – 19 Jan 2020Over two weekends, The Arts House is transformed into a space where stories from Singapore and beyond are shared and experienced through words.
