Fidelio 2004-10-15

Type(s): Opera performance

Comment
- Sylvia and I arranged a week's autumn break in Rome to coincide with this performance. Finally a chance to get to know Fidelio! This was something I'd been looking forward to ever since Selwyn had told me it was his favourite opera. And the verdict? Well, despite being a great admirer of Beethoven, I'm not convinced. The music is very moving at times and inspiring at others, but also a little trite here and there. Still, I will happily attend more performances in the future. Perhaps they will change my mind?
