Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio, invites us into a timeless story of bravery, love, and moral resolve. Its themes of political freedom and courage feel just as urgent in 2026 as they did 220 years ago in French-occupied Vienna. We welcome opera director Tara Faircloth to the podcast to discuss her fresh take on this work whose central ideas still speak powerfully to us today.
