As Florestan wanted to expose Don Pizarro's brutal and lawless despotism, the latter had imprisoned him in a state prison run by him out of revenge, where Florestan was forced to vegetate under inhumane conditions.

Fidelio

Vienna State Opera

One of the greatest operas ever written, Mozart’s timeless classic is about the search for truth and reason, love and enlightenment, and how power is used for good or evil. It draws us into a world where a prince, Tamino, and a princess, Pamina, triumph over every obstacle in their search for wisdom and are finally united in love. Throughout their journey, audiences are delighted with the lovers’ soulful arias, the stratospheric vocal fireworks of the villainous Queen of the Night, the subterranean depths of the formidable high priest Sarastro, and the comic melodies of the lovable bird catcher Papageno.
