Beethoven: Fidelio (1970, Opera-Film)

[BrianJosephMorgan]

This beautiful film dates not from 1970, but 1968.

Beautiful performance! That was also (1770-1970) the Beethoven Bicentennial Year. I first learned "Fidelio" that year also, but the version I was able to get (6th grade) was Gweneth Jones, James King, Theo Adam and Karl Bohm (Staatskapelle Dresden.) I would've gone bonkers had I been able to see a film of it!

@fulishproductions - Indeed, subtitles would help getting into the story. The translated text can still be printed but you get distracted...

@AlexanderKrenin Good point. Thanks

This is a brilliant performance. The acting and singing are superb. Thank you for making this sublime Fidelio available. Of the various performances that have been filmed/taped, this is the summit of available Fidelios.

Superb! I hadn't listened to Fidelio for some time, and as always, up it comes, fresh as a daisy and always brilliant! Happy Birthday Beethoven!
