“Return Into Your Prison Now!” The Long Battle for Beethoven’s Fidelio

Join us on Sunday, January 26th at 2pm for “‘Return Into Your Prison Now!’ The Long Battle for Beethoven’s Fidelio,” a presentation by Dr. Jacob Bancks!

Beethoven wrote prodigiously in almost every genre: nine symphonies, 32 piano sonatas, five piano concertos, and sixteen string quartets. And operas? Only one: Fidelio of 1805… or was it 1806?… or 1814? In this lecture you will learn the fascinating story about how Beethoven’s opera about a prison became a prison for the composer himself.
