	Fidelio
		Fidelio is an opera in two acts by Beethoven.
		This representation, under the original title "Fidelio," was preceded by the well-known Fidelio overture, the fourth written by the composer for the opera.
		Leonore, his faithful wife, suspects that Pizarro has captured him, and, disguised as a youth under the name of Fidelio, she enters the service of Rocco, the jailor of the States prison of which Pizarro is the governor.

	Fidelio Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Fidelio, or Conjugal Love, an opera in three acts freely adapted from the French by Joseph Sonnleithner, was first performed on 20 November 1805, in the Theater an der Wien.
		Fidelio was laid aside for many years until it was revived at the Kärtnertor Theater on 23 May 1814.
		Fidelio was for Beethoven a child of sorrow.

	Fidelio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fidelio, who is Leonore in disguise, enters carrying a heavy load of newly repaired chains.
		Certainly, Fidelio is not an opera in the sense we are used to, nor is Beethoven a musician for the theater, or a dramaturgist.
		His Fidelio has more of the Mass than of the Opera to it; the sentiments it expresses come from the sphere of the sacred, and preach a 'religion of humanity' which we never found so beautiful or necessary as we do today, after all we have lived through.

	CSO mounts Beethoven's opera Fidelio
		In this "rescue opera," a woman (Leonore), disguised as a young man (under the name Fidelio), enters service in the evil Don Pizarro's castle hoping to find and free her husband, who has been imprisoned for resisting the tyrant's evil ways.
		Eventually, she finds him and rescues the imprisoned masses from the castle's dark bowels, though in the grim moments at the beginning of the second act she is forced to help dig her husband's grave.
		Fidelio (in German, with projected English supertitles) will also be performed on Thursday, May 28 (8 p.m.) and Sunday, May 31, 1998 (3 p.m.).

	Fidelio - Beethoven
		The subject of the opera was derived from Bouilly’s "Leonore; or, Conjugal Love." It had already been used for a French opera comique, as well as for an opera, to Italian works, by Paer, a composer who accompanied Napoleon to Warsaw and Posen, and in 1807 was formally installed as his maitre de chapelle.
		Pizarro, the governor of a State prison in Spain, entertaining a bitter enmity against the Don Florestan, a nobleman, seizes and confines him in a loathsome dungeon with the intention of starving him to death.
		Beethoven wrote "Fidelio" in the full maturity of his creative powers, and it stands alone among operas, with great and peculiar qualities of its own.

		Fidelio Lege was the youngest son of Lord Steffano and Lady Dolcia Lege.
		Fidelio himself was fifth in line, raised by his mentor, Brother Creed, to be an adept of the Balance - a warrior-monk dedicated to the service of Dianodus.
		Fidelio became the Hard Hand of Fate, an unrelenting and furious champion of his interpretation of the balance, and an Avatar of the Dian (or so he thought).

	Fidelio - Ludwig van Beethoven
		If Fidelio is not the finest argument that opera transcends the sum of its parts, what is? The story has a ridiculous premise: a woman, whose husband has been unjustly kidnapped by a prison commandant, disguises herself as a boy and takes a job assisting the jailer.
		The two jailers, Rocco and Fidelio, enter to dig the grave, and Pizarro attempts murder – only to be thwarted by Fidelio-Leonore, who reveals herself at last, and by a trumpet call signaling the arrival of the royal Minister.
		The new staging is vaguely contemporary, the prisoners in white pajamas, the guards in modern uniforms, Pizarro, Rocco and Don Fernando in suits and ties, the women (Marzelline and the chorus in the final scene) in drab flowered dresses that recall the ’30s, or perhaps Iron Curtain countries.

		The result we hope to attain by observing Fidelio to pass in front of Tau Librae is an estimate of the diameter and shape of the asteroid.
		However be aware that the exact path shown on the map is only one estimate of the occultation's true shadow track, and it should not be taken too literally; the true path may well lie east or west of this estimated path.
		The Fidelio occultation may well be the best opportunity we have this year to observe a minor planet occultation.

		At $7150 per pair, the Fidelio weighs in at 52 pounds and is considered a two-piece loudspeaker, even though the two pieces are permanently connected.
		Along with the exceptionally transparent midrange and infinitely extended highs, bass through the Fidelios is deep, tight and articulate regardless where the speakers were placed in the room.
		As well, the Fidelio is not a flashy speaker either, in terms of its appearance or sound.

		The Fidelio is the product of long hours on the design table and many hours of fine-tuning through careful and critical listening.
		The Fidelios are very much a brother to the Parsifals in information retrieval (wonderful and non-fatiguing, helped by ultra low distortion), offering an accurate portrayal of a recording's quality, or lack thereof.
		The Beethoven opera Fidelio is a story of a common man overcoming adversity, and uses a more earth-laden (not moribund) libretto when compared to Wagner's knight, Parsifal, and his search for ultimate truth and the Holy Grail.
