Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the most important symphonic composers of the classical era, but +Fidelio, the story of one man's struggle for freedom, independence, and love, was his only attempt at an opera. This video documents a production of Fidelio staged at Great Britain's Royal Opera House, with Gabriela Benackova, Josef Protschka, and Neill Archer leading the cast; Christoph von Dohnamyi conducts the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.
