Dawkins is an experienced lecturer, debater and public speaker, but has not appeared in a theatrical production since taking a leading role in Cecil Cook's comic operetta The Willow Pattern at the age of 13. On hearing of Malone's project, he said he was "a bit mystified, but intrigued". It was clear from the start he would not be taking a singing role, he continued – "I know my limitations" – but as an experienced reader of his own writings was confident in his abilities. "I do quite a lot of reading aloud."

The prison is replaced by a brightly lit drawing room where the 18th-century trappings are rapidly dismantled, and the chorus, now in modern dress, sit on stage throughout as silent witnesses to the unfolding drama of liberation. Video projections of their reactions, empathetic yet fearful of intervention, are streamed across the walls, and it is only after Jonas Kaufmann’s Florestan has been freed that they readily permit themselves involvement in the jubilation of the final scene. Kratzer’s point, that the silent majority all too frequently resist political engagement until after events have nearly run their course, unquestionably resonates with our own times, but has little to do with Beethoven’s vision of divine providence working through human activity to establish true justice on earth. Anii au trecut, Asya a devenit un medic renumit, şi în acest context a ajuns să-l întâlnească pe Volkan Caner Cindoruk, un bărbat charismatic, de profesie arhitect, de care s-a îndrăgostit. Asya și Volkan și-au întemeiat o familie, iar din dragostea lor a venit pe lume Ali, băiatul cuplului. It didn’t go well. On November 12 , the French army had captured Vienna, and the French soldiers didn’t care much for Beethoven’s Rescue Opera.

When Rocco is about to release Florestan from his chains, Don Fernando takes the key and gives it to Leonore . Also worthy of note is the famed chorus in the first act, as well as the famed finale, an ode to fidelity that features some of Beethoven’s most awe-inspiring music.

In the following Aria O wär’ ich schon mit dir vereint (Oh, If I was already united with you) she explains that she’s instead madly in love with the new boy who’s arrived at the Prison to work as a handyman, Fidelio.

When he, Leonore , and Rocco appears it all falls into place. Florestan is a friend of the Minister, and when Rocco explains what is going on, Fernando arrests Pizarro.In fact, Beethoven has put a phrase in her mouth in the first Act, where she’s swearing to save the unfortunate captive whoever he might be. Ludwig van Beethoven is not a particularly good vocal composer. Somebody may object to that, but having sung Fidelio and many other vocal compositions by the Maestro, I can definitely say that his incredible knowledge of symphonic and instrumental music, didn’t carry over to his composing for the human voice.
