Cherubini's' 'Faniska' with Rubis, Krzeszowiak, Belkius and Gierlach from Warsaw

Beethoven Easter Festival. Cherubini's' 'Faniska' is an opéra comique in three acts to a German libretto by Joseph Sonnleithner, based on the melodrama Les mines de Pologne (1803) by René-Charles Guilbert de Pixérécourt. Zamoski, the starosta of Sandomir, orders his Cossack henchman Oranski to kidnap Faniska, the wife of the starosta of Rava, Rasinski. Faniska is taken to Zamoski's castle but manages to resist his advances. Rasinski arrives at the castle disguised as a messenger. Zamoski sees through his disguise and throws Rasinski and Faniska into the castle dungeon.
