Event Description : Opera At Habitat Series 'Beethoven’s Fidelio' film screening. 
Sunit Tandon introduces a live video film from the Metropolitan Opera, New York. Fidelio is Beethovern’s only opera, the eventual result of a heroic struggle with the operatic form and several revisions. Florestan is a political prisoner, unjustly imprisoned by the prison governor, Pizzaro. His wife, Leonore, joins the staff of the prison where he is kept in solitary confinement, disguised as a young man 'Fidelio'. Meanwhile, the gaoler Rocco’s daughter, Marzelline, falls in love with this young man. Leonore is caught between revealing her true identity in the jail and Marzelline’s love for her thinking her to be a man. This complication, amidst the central theme of Leonore's courageous efforts to rescue her innocent husband, creates the dramatic situations that inspired Beethoven in this notable opera.
