Fidelio - Week Four

A close up of one of the many hand-drawn animations created by Set and Costume Designer Jun Kaneko.

Lighting Designer Drew Billiau and Assistant Lighting Designer Chris Hetherington walk the stage before rehearsal begins.


Bass-baritone Stephen Morscheck (right) replaces an indisposed Julian Rodescu as the jailer Rocco. Here he looks on approvingly at his daughter Marzelline, soprano Ailyn Pérez, and his new assistant Fidelio, soprano Christine Goerke.
Marzelline, soprano Ailyn Pérez, sings of her infatuation with the new prison assistant Fidelio.


Fidelio, soprano Christine Goerke, gets her first look at the prisoner in the deepest dungeon when she goes with Rocco, bass-baritone Stephen Morscheck, to dig a grave. Fidelio can barely recognize her husband Florestan, tenor Anthony Dean Griffey.
Fidelio, soprano Christine Goerke, goes to offer the prisoner some bread and wine in order to get a better look at him, and finally confirms that she has found her husband Florestan, tenor Anthony Dean Griffey.



The cast of Fidelio takes their bows during the final dress rehearsal.
