Fidelio

Opera in two acts by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Translation: Catarina Gnosspelius
Tickets go on sale on 1 December!

In the summer of 2026, Läckö Castle will be transformed into a prison.
Fidelio is Beethoven's only opera. A rescue opera, its plot is said to be based on a real event from the French Revolution. 

It is a work whose story can reflect many situations in our time where human rights are suppressed and ordinary people are killed or taken away into captivity. But it is also a story of hope. The hope that the resistance of the little person can bring about real change.

Läckö Chamber Orchestra

Opera at Läckö since 1997

It started with one man standing alone in the empty courtyard, unable to resist trying out his voice against the high whitewashed walls. Now, over 50 singers, musicians, creators and stage technicians take over the courtyard every summer, transforming it into a unique venue for musical theatre.
