Description Beethoven's forthright and passionate drama is a hymn to devotion, unconditional love, a belief in personal freedom, an intolerance of tyranny and injustice. Its magnificent music, its profound humanity and its shining optimism have made it one of the most popular of all operas. This vivid production, hailed by audiences and critics alike, returns to the Sydney Opera House stage with outstanding artists in the leading roles.
