Kleine Tonhalle
Kontext «Fidelio»
Unterstützt vom Freundeskreis Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich
"Fidelio" in the Tonhalle? Of course, normally there is Beethoven's only opera on stage. But our music director is convinced that it is also suitable for a semi-staged performance in a concert hall. Actually, he had wanted to perform the opera in spring 2020, but Corona intervened; Järvi said at the time that he regretted no cancellation more than this one. Now the performance will take place after all, with remarkable texts in between: Director Eva Buchmann has found numerous passages in Beethoven's letters that can be related to "Fidelio". She thus shows the work as a kind of dialogue between the work and its creator; a dialogue that is about loneliness, about revolution – and of course about love.
