Fidelio discography Fidelio discography This is a partial discography of "Fidelio", a Singspiel in two acts by Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven had originally written a three-act version of the opera called "Leonore", first performed in 1805 and then re-staged with revisions in 1806. Despite the name change, the heroine is the title character in both cases. Leonore disguises herself as a boy, Fidelio, in order to find out what has happened to her husband, Florestan, who is being illegally held by Pizarro, a prison governor. The other major characters are the gaoler Rocco and his daughter Marzelline. This is a partial discography
