A political prisoner awaits death in his cell. A woman puts herself in mortal danger to seek justice. With its atmosphere of revolution and tale of devotional romance and a dramatic rescue from captivity, Pierre Gaveaux's Leonore, ou L'Amour conjugal was the direct forerunner to Beethoven's Fidelio. Having been entirely overshadowed by its famous successor and lain hidden for centuries, this both darkly sombre and entertainingly celebratory opera comique is seen here in an acclaimed modern premiere. Opera Lafayette's production was filmed at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater, John Jay College, New York, in 2017. It is a timeless and inspiring story of female heroism and political injustice which is as relevant today as ever.
