Based on Ludvig van Beethoven’s only opera, “Fidelio” tells the story of Leonore, who disguises herself as a young man named Fidelio and gets a job as a guard in a Spanish political prison in order to rescue her innocent husband, Florestan, who has been wrongfully imprisoned for two years by the prison’s corrupt governor, Don Pizarro, who fears exposure of his own crimes. While working at the prison, Leonore gains the trust of Rocco the jailer and his daughter, Marzelline, who falls in love with “Fidelio”. When Don Pizarro plots to murder Florestan to keep his own crimes from being exposed, Leonore must find and rescue her husband and expose Don Pizarro before it’s too late.
