Gabriel Pidoux is the musical director of Fidelio, the upcoming production at the Théâtre Impérial de Compiègne, thanks to the support of Eric Rouchaud, its director, and Jean-Baptiste Henriat, artistic director of the Festival de Saint-Céré.
Based on Beethoven’s original score and Sedlak’s period arrangement for wind octet, Gabriel has created a new arrangement to produce a unique version of this opera for wind octet, double bass, and seven singers.
The premiere of Fidelio will take place on July 31 at the Saint-Céré Festival, followed by performances at the Théâtre Impérial in Compiègne in January 2027 and a tour in France.
