The Marschallin sends her young lover, Octavian, to fulfill the Viennese tradition, and after the famous presentation of the rose to Sophie, the two teenagers fall in love.

Fidelio by Ludwig van Beethoven( )

6 editions published between 2015 and 2017 in German and held by 58 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

A prolific composer of symphonic and chamber music, Ludwig van Beethoven only created one opera over the course of his entire career. Nevertheless, his Fidelio, which he continued to revise for a decade after its original premiere, includes much of the stirring music for which he is famous. As Leonore, the devoted wife on a mission to save her beloved, soprano Adrianne Pieczonka fearlessly tackles the role's challenging vocal demands. Tenor Klaus Florian Vogt is Florestan, her imprisoned husband, and brings a penetrating urgency to his performance. Veteran bass-baritones Falk Struckmann and Greer Grimsley play the warm-hearted jailer Rocco and the menacing prison warden Don Pizarro, respectively, alongside Hanna-Elisabeth Müller and David Portillo as a pair of on-again-off-again young lovers. Conductor Sebastian Weigle is on the podium for this uplifting tale of the triumph of love over unjust oppression
