The opera is "first and foremost a piece of theatre," Malone continued, but also a "campaigning piece", arguing that people should choose for themselves instead of being guided by dogma or cultural pressure. "We're not going to solve problems like smallpox, polio or FGM unless we think rationally, work together and we use our imagination, instead of doctrines which prevent us from helping each other." The quartet in Act one, “Mir ist so wunderbar” is noted for how well it conveys the intentions of each character as they sing in an elegantly-constructed canon.

(Abominable! Where are you heading?). I don’t want to downplay it, because somehow he managed to create a true masterpiece. The simple but dramatic storyline is masterly outlined with exceptionally painted characters and dramatic music. Fidelio is an awesome opera, no doubt about that… I still wouldn’t suggest the arias of Florestan or Fidelio to a student… They are too difficult. Don Fernando sings Des besten Königs Wink und Wille! (On behalf of our King I come to you… ). He has a list of all the prisoners who shall be freed. But Florestan is not on it, because he’s supposed to be dead.
