About

With Fidelio, Beethoven found the perfect vehicle to express his life-long commitment to liberty. The work exposes the reality that at any moment in the world, at any point in history, unjust atrocities are being committed which can only be prevented by an individual belief in the sanctity of human life and the all-conquering power of universal love. This timeless theme is as relevant today as it was when Beethoven started to write his opera in 1804.

Anja Kampe and Torsten Kerl made their Glyndebourne debuts in the roles of Leonore and Florestan in 2006 to rapturous critical praise.

Recorded live at Glyndebourne, August 2006.

Reviews from 2006:
Glyndebourne’s searing, sublime Fidelio is an example of what can happen - but seldom does - when everything comes together in opera...Do anything to get a ticket: opera simply does not come better than this.” - The Sunday Telegraph

Anja Kampe is the Leonore of one’s dreams and Torsten Kerl’s Florestan complements her ideally, with thrilling tone from them both in their duet.” - Opera Magazine

A moving and enthralling Fidelio...Glyndebourne has pulled it off, in a revival that shows the place on top form building on teamwork, attention to detail and rigorous rehearsal...” - The Daily Telegraph

...exquisitely sung by Milne, Kampe, Kennedy and Sherratt, which makes this the second Glyndebourne production in one season to have raised the bar on ensemble singing to a dizzying height.” - Independent on Sunday
