Kirill Petrenko conducts “Fidelio”
Beethoven’s only opera Fidelio is a plea for overcoming the power of despotism and tyranny – and a hymn to love. Beethoven’s lifelong motto, “Freyheit über alles lieben; Wahrheit nie, (auch am Throne nicht) verläugnen” (To love liberty above all else, never to deny the truth, even though it be before the throne) is reflected vividly in his work. Kirill Petrenko conducts the work in the Philharmonie following performances at the Easter Festival Baden-Baden. The title role is sung by Marlis Petersen, the current artist in residence of the Berliner Philharmoniker.
