Haitink conducts the Zurich Opera Orchestra in a magnificent performance in which Leonore Overture No. 3 provides an interlude between the two scenes of the second act, following a tradition started by Gustav Mahler. German soprano Melanie Diener, in the role of Leonore, leads a brilliant cast including Alfred Muff as Rocco, Roberto Saccà as Florestan, Sandra Trattnigg as Marzelline and Christoph Strehl as Jaquino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis High Definition recording with true surround sound marks the start of the exciting collaboration between Opus Arte and Opernhaus Zurich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExtra features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIllustrated Synopsis.
