Fidelio
AN OPERA IN TWO ACTS
PRESENTED BY OPERA COMPANY OF MIDDLEBURY
DIRECTED BY DOUGLAS ANDERSON
CONDUCTED BY FILIPPO CIABATTI
JUNE 2 & 8 AT 7:30 PM
JUNE 4 & 10 AT 2 PM
PRE-SHOW TALKS ONE HOUR AHEAD OF CURTAIN AT MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH 97 S PLEASANT ST, MIDDLEBURY
Fidelio, Beethoven’s only opera, will be fully staged by Director Douglas Anderson, with orchestra conducted by Music Director Filippo Ciabatti. Sung in German with English supertitles. Fidelio is as timely now as when it debuted in 1805. It’s the story of political prisoners in a corrupt regime, and a woman who risks everything to save her husband. Beethoven’s score is sumptuous and moving, and OCM has put together a veteran cast that will bring the music and drama to vivid life.
