Beethoven's only opera, Fidelio, is a timeless humanitarian vision - both a plea for political tolerance and justice and a hymn to the transforming and redefining power of love. These sentiments are undoubtedly close to the heart of conductor Daniel Barenboim and to the ethos of his barrier-breaking band of young Arabs and Israelis, the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. The great German mezzo-soprano Waltraud Meier leads an all-star cast and, though the performance is sung in German, she reads an English narration written by the orchestra's co-founder Edward Said.

Radio Times reviewer - David Gillard

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Christopher Cook.

Daniel Barenboim conducts his West-Eastern Divan Orchestra in a German version of Beethoven's only opera, Fidelio, featuring an English narration devised by the co-founder of the orchestra - scholar and historian Edward Said.

The work's themes are given a particular poignancy by the participation of Barenboim and Said's ground-breaking group, which was founded in 1999 to bring together young Israeli and Arab musicians, and continues to serve as a beacon of trust, understanding and dialogue between nations in conflict.

Fidelio, first performed in 1805, is an impassioned defence of freedom and justice and a celebration of the power of love as its heroine, Leonore, rescues her falsely incarcerated husband from imprisonment and execution.
