SCENE FROM BEETHOVEN'S FIDELIO, AT THE ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, LONDON, UK; Grieve and Telbin's courtyard of the Spanish state prison, with the principal entrance in the background and the dungeons right and left, is an effectively arranged tableau, the effect of which is increased by the coming in of the prisoners, after they have received permission from Rocco, the gaoler (Formes), to take some fresh air in the garden, yielding to the earnest solicitations of Fidelio (Mdme. Castellan) and Marcellina (Mdlle. Bertrandi), 1851 engraving
