The story of Beethoven's only opera Fidelio was based on an actual happening in France during the Reign of Terror. J. N. Bouilly , who first used it for an opera libretto, transferred the scene to Spain to prevent the characters from being identified. Since it expressed a hatred of tyranny and a passionate admiration for wifely devotion it appealed with especial force to Beethoven, who was repelled by stories such as those of Figaro and Don Giovanni. The text he set was the work of Josef von Sonnleithner, secretary of the Court Theatre in Vienna.
