Grab some popcorn and wine and watch a screening of Opera Lafayette’s DVD recording of Pierre Gaveaux and Jean-Nicolas Bouilly’s Léonore, our L’Amour conjugal (1798). Following the movie, Ryan Brown, our Founder and Artistic Director, and guest will compare and contrast this opera with Beethoven’s Leonore (1805) and discuss how each foreshadows Fidelio, Beethoven’s only opera.
