The young gatekeeper of Jacquino prison is upset and annoyed: the daughter of the jailer Marceline has ceased to respond to his feelings since the young servant Fidelio appeared in her father’s house. Marceline does not suspect that under the name of Fidelio hides disguised in men’s dress Leonor, who entered the fortress to free her husband, Florestan. But the warden Pizarro is ferocious and cruel. However, one day he receives a letter from which he learns that his iniquities have become known in Seville, and soon Minister Don Fernando will arrive at the fortress. Pizarro rushes to deal with the Florestan he hates. A fighter for justice who once exposed Pizarro's crimes, he is now a victim of his revenge. He has nothing to hope for, but the faithful Leonora will not give up on the goal - she will try to free her husband at all costs. close

Kát'a Kabanová, Janácek's 1921 tragedy, is proof if any were needed that tales of personal oppression and turmoil will always make fine raw material for opera composers. Janácek took Ostrovsky's tumultuous drama of infidelity , The Storm, and created a compelling piece in which his music heightens the relationship between the troubled landscape of Kát'a's inner mind and the elements doing battle outside. In 1988, this Glyndebourne Festival production successfully distilled the heroine's wretched journey from put-upon wife and daughter-in-law to suicide via the ecstasy of a forbidden love affair into 100 minutes of intensely emotional operatic drama. close

In the heart of the Balkans, where making music is an integral part of life, meet Pera, a wonderful old farmer who seems to know everything about everything; Josip, inventor of numerous new instruments; and the amazing Vera, greatest leaf virtuoso of them all. Three musicians – a glimpse into the unknown, all– but – lost art of leaf playing. Filled with stunning music as vital yet as fragile as the perishable instrument on which it's played, this lovely film is as much about joy, living in the moment, being alive, as it is about making music. Seeing it, you may just want to go find some leaves – and make some music yourself. - Charlie Cockey close
