Fidelio - Dutch National Opera

Liberation opera, revolutionary artwork, an ode to fidelity in love and utopian drama – Fidelio, Beethoven’s only opera, is all of these things. The numerous characterisations and interpretations add an aura of mystery to the opera but demonstrate above all that it is a unique work of musical theatre that expresses the hope for a humane future with justice and liberty for all. The stage direction is in the hands of the Ukrainian director Andriy Zholdak. His visual imagery, replete with symbols, is reminiscent of great film directors such as Andrei Tarkovsky and Ingmar Bergman. Using a distinctive style, Zholdak explores the deeper layers of the universal human drama of Fidelio. These layers can sometimes be difficult to follow.

The film is full of mysticism and Ukrainian customs. Traditional celebrations - driving the Goat, giving gifts and divination on New Year's Eve - have always caused us special admiration. Our traditions are beautiful and creepy, imbued with existential experiences... all this is embodied in this film. Starting with the name of the main character, ending with the resolution and the main antagonist of the story. The film envelops you in this traditionally festive atmosphere and throws you into a stupor from the end.

Never Too Old

Florio and Jesse have lived together as lovers for over 45 years. Florio has expressed a desire to get married when same sex marriage was legalized, but Jesse has held firm to his decision never to get married. His mind changes when the law does, and he proposes. A small, glittering wedding follows. In their married life they will, of course, face the changes that come with old age, but they will do so as a committed couple. Entering marriage in their 80’s is a testament to hope, a statement, and perhaps a brave act of lunacy, but done with courage and love.
