Pierre Jourdan captured Fidelio on film at the Théâtre antique d'Orange in 197?. The musical direction by Zubin Mehta is assured, and he conducts the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the chorus of the New Philharmonia.

The bill announces: "By the power of love, liberty triumphs over tyranny".

In the principal roles:

- Gundula Janovitz

As for the costumes worn by the actors on the posters, they are a blend of history and the modern world.
