As he raises a dagger to deliver the killing blow, Fidelio leaps between them, reveals her identity, and draws a gun on Pizarro, locking them in a heated standoff. In December 1945 it was the first Opera to perform in Berlin in the only theater still standing after the war, Theater des Westens. Kratzer makes more of Forsythe’s Marzelline and Robin Tritschler’s Jaquino than the score really supports, allowing the former to espouse revolutionary idealism, while the latter becomes increasingly reactionary: both give fine performances, though neither voice is large. Some of the same content as in the 9th Symphony… Freedom, equality, justice, brotherhood, and the willingness to suffer and struggle to reach these objectives.

But I loved to visit her in her flat and listen to her talk, always fuelled with a generous bottle of champagne which she could ill afford.

Hers is a great voice, superbly controlled and beautifully equalised throughout its range, able to encompass the long phrases of Abscheulicher without breaking them in two, as one all too often hears. Within his cell in the dungeon, Florestan sings of his faith in God before experiencing a vision of his wife coming to his rescue. The first words were left without dynamic markers and so it remains for the performer how to interpret them and demonstrate either brokenness of spirit, defiance of circumstance, or unremitting faith in the possibility of rescue. As her biographers Meirion and Susie Harries perceptively observed, fighting was for her an art form, and it energised and sustained her. Pizarro enters to kill Florestan , but before he can strike the blow, Fidelio jumps out and stands in front of her husband.We’re fortunate to have been able to talk to three of her children — Rose and Tess who live in London and Conrad who is based in Melbourne.

Marcellina is ironing and Jaquino , the porter, is trying to ask her to marry him (Actually he’s telling her that he has chosen her for his wife… A somewhat dubious tactic. When I was an adult, we all lived in the same house for 14 years on King Henry’s Road, Chalk Farm, London — we on the ground floor, my mother on the top floor.
