Insula Orchestra is set to present Beethoven’s “Fidelio” in Brussels, London, and Paris.

The company kicks off its “Fidelio” tour with a May 8 showcase in BOZAR, Brussels before presenting the piece at the Barbican Centre in London in a semi-staged showcase. That performance is slated for May 11, 2022. The tour will be capped by three performance at La Seine Musicale in Paris on May 14, 16, and 18.

Laurence Equilbey will conduct with David Bobée directing.

“Light, freedom and truth have been locked underground with Florestan, trampled both literally and figuratively by authority. The distressing impression that this is a world that has been deprived of any transparency, that we are uninformed, and that the situation has spun out of control for want of exact knowledge, that we are trying to find our way through lies and concealed realities, the feeling of obstacles to freedom of action, all this is familiar territory to today’s audience,” Bobée noted in an official press statement.

The cast will star Sinéad Campbell-Wallace in the title role with Stanislas de Barbeyrac as Florestan. Christian Immler, Hélène Carpentier Patrick Grahl, and Sebastian Holeck round out the cast.
