Following a string of awe-inspiring Met performances, soprano Lise Davidsen stars as Leonore, who risks everything to save her husband from the clutches of tyranny. Tenor David Butt Philip is the political prisoner Florestan, sharing the stage with bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny as the villainous Don Pizarro, veteran bass René Pape as the jailer Rocco, and soprano Ying Fang and tenor Magnus Dietrich, in his company debut, as the young Marzelline and Jaquino. Bass Stephen Milling sings the principled Don Fernando, and Susanna Mälkki conducts the Met's striking production, which finds modern-day parallels in Beethoven's stirring paean to freedom.

The sound kept dropping out in the first half to the point of distraction. The second half was much better.

Ah, Denver. Ya don’t know what you’re missing. Beethoven’s only opera is wonderfully melodic.

Wonderful voices. First act setting and staging could be improved. The prison cells overlook 'The Garden" and the family's dining area, so all this domestic love/drama goes on in plain sight of the prisoners. Pretty silly.
