Summary

"This souvenir book was a companion to the program book for our production of Beethoven's Leonore. The booklet explains The Leonore Project which began in 2017 with the modern premiere of Gaveaux's Léonore, ou L'Amour conjugal, based on the same source material. It features program notes for both operas by Julia Doe and Nizam Kettaneh, and an essay by Will Crutchfield, who explains how he used Beethoven's sketches to re-image the missing pieces of Florestan's aria from Beethoven's 1805 version. Opera Lafayette commissioned this reimaging [that is, reimagining] on the occasion of Opera Lafayette's 25th-anniversary season and the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth. Influences and Enigmas - Developing a Modern Premiere and a Reimagined Aria showcases Opera Lafayette's commitment to musical preservation and scholarly exploration."--Opera Lafayette website
