Met Opera/Live in HD: "Fidelio" (Beethoven)
Saturday, March 15, 2025 1:00–4:05 PM
- Location
- DescriptionFollowing a string of awe-inspiring Met performances, soprano Lise Davidsen stars as Leonore, who risks everything to save her husband from the clutches of tyranny. Tenor David Butt Philip is the political prisoner Florestan, sharing the stage with bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny as the villainous Don Pizarro, veteran bass René Pape as the jailer Rocco, and soprano Ying Fang and tenor Magnus Dietrich, in his company debut, as the young Marzelline and Jaquino. Bass Stephen Milling sings the principled Don Fernando, and Susanna Mälkki conducts the Met's striking production, which finds modern-day parallels in Beethoven's stirring paean to freedom.

- Mar 179:30 AMExhibit—"Tragedies of War: Images of WWII in Print Visual Culture"This exhibit commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War (1939-45) using primarily European visual sources recently acquired by Rare Books & Special Collections.
