Met: FidelioTBC

Following a string of awe-inspiring Live in HD performances, Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen
returns to the Metropolitan Opera as Leonore, the faithful wife who risks everything to save her
husband from the clutches of tyranny in Beethoven’s Fidelio. Completing the distinguished cast
is British tenor David Butt Philip as the political prisoner Florestan, Polish bass-baritone Tomasz
Konieczny as the villainous Don Pizarro, veteran German bass René Pape as the jailer Rocco,
Chinese soprano Ying Fang and German tenor Magnus Dietrich as the young Marzelline and
Jaquino, and Danish bass Stephen Milling as the principled Don Fernando. Susanna Mä lkki
conducts the March 15 performance, which will be broadcast live from the Met stage to cinemas
worldwide.
