New Fidelio production in English?

[Ed C]

I just found this Trailer for a production of Fidelio in the UK:

Does anybody know if this is going to be all English-language? Are there any other Fidelio's in English? Just curious.


3/30 "B's Way" (Beethoven's Metronome Tempos)

[Peter]

Normally I'm not a fan of English versions of opera, but I think with all the dialogue in Fidelio it could make sense.

I have the Goodall version of the English-language Wagner Ring Cycle. It's a bit ponderous compared to some, but for my first Wagner Ring set it made for a somewhat easier entry into long recitative-based opera....


3/31 The "Ghost" Piano Trio (Color Analysis)

[Fidelio]

I know Opera North are performing Fidelio as part of their Summer Season, but it will be sung in German. I have tickets for 28 May in Nottingham.

Yeah that's the one - German - OK thanks! Hope you review it

Also, Fidelio returns to the Royal Opera House 29th Mar, 1st, 5th, 9th, 11th and 16th Apr 2011.
