The Sydney Symphony Orchestra will present Beethoven’s Fidelio as an opera-in-concert, collaborating with internationally-renowned artists from across the globe.
Sydney Symphony Orchestra Chief Conductor Simone Young brings Fidelio to the Concert Hall in spectacular fashion, with her three decades of experience leading productions of Beethoven’s opera worldwide. The exceptional cast is led by the phenomenal Elza van den Heever and Simon O’Neill.
Fidelio’s story is reimagined for these performances by First Nations author Tyson Yunkaporta who has written new texts to illustrate the opera’s dramatic themes of love, self-sacrifice, and the journey to enlightenment. Yunkaporta draws us deeper into Beethoven’s compelling and uplifting landscape of memory, hope and human aspiration.
