The Musical Land of Oz (4/5)
Opera Matinee - Beethoven's Fidelio from the West Australian Symphony Orchestra and Chorus with conductor Asher Fisch, starring Christiane Libor and Tomislav Muzek.
Today's Thursday Opera Matinee is a performance of Beethoven's Fidelio recorded at the 2020 Perth Festival in Western Australia. Christiane Libor stars as Leonore, who disguises herself as a man to rescue her wrongly imprisoned husband Florestan, sung by Tomislav Mu啪ek. Plus Beethoven's best-loved symphony from another of this week's featured Australian orchestras - the Queensland SO. And the afternoon ends with a return to Western Australia for excerpts from Strauss' Salome.
Presented by Ian Skelly.
