Product Description
Fidelio is Beethoven's only complete opera and one of the most admired, and problematic, in the repertoire. This Opera Handbook explores the fascinating musical and dramatic elements within the work as well as the debt to the traditions of French opera in the late eighteenth century and the French Revolution. Winton Dean offers a comparison of the opera's first (1805) and final (1814) versions. Essays by Michael Tusa and Joseph Kerman consider its musical idiom and the challenges Beethoven faced as an instrumental composer trying his hand at opera. A final chapter examines the opera's performance history, and the volume also includes a synopsis, bibliography, and informative illustrations. ... Read more

This is what you want
This is the real thing. Full orchestral score and complete. No translation from the German, unfortunately, but a translation of the libretto is not hard to find.

Beethoven's only Opera
The history of Fidelio's composition is one of the great comic Operas in the annals of music theatre. Beethoven wrote the opera's first version, Leonore. He liked it, but didn't like the overture. He wrote a secondoverture, didn't like it, then wrote a third. He liked the new overture,but decided he didn't like the opera. So he re-wrote the Opera andre-titled it Fidelio. After finishing the new score, he decided that, youguessed it, he hated the overture. After composing two full length operasand four 15-minute overtures, he finally had the piece he wanted tocompose. With sweat pouring off his brow, he triumphantly exclaimed,"man, I ain't doing that again!" Dover reprinted an earlyBreitkopf & Hartel edition of Fidelio, using as it's resource B &H's gesamtlichtwerke (I believe that's "complete works"). Doverchose Fidelio, not Leonore, for the simple reason that Fidelio is theversion most often performed today. Maybe the idea that Dover could'vepublish two versions simply underlines the assertion that Dover shouldbegin publishing Complete Works of some of Western Classical music's greatmasters, such as Beethoven (sold separately, or in a set, of course). Thescholarship in this B & H Fidelio is, of course, highly reliable, andthe book itself is easy to read and nearly indestructable. The print islarge enough that this score could be used on the podium.

Do not buy this!
This opera, is probably the best opera in the time of Beethoven.This opera is not very long, but her sister Leonore, is longer and much more beautiful, but Fidelio, is much more dramatic.The opera score here, is very good, no dialog, which is pretty hard because the recordings I have,are missing dialog, and I want to see the dialog itself.The opera scorecontains no table of contents, no instrumentation, and no notes.The operascore which i got, fell apart after two months I have used it, and thescoresmells a horrible smell.do not buy this score, it is cheap, but youget cheap. ...
