Act I: 'Mir ist so wunderbar' (A wonder clear & pure) quartet from Beethoven's only Opera 'Fidelio,' aka 'Leonore, oder Der Triumph der ehelichen Liebe' (Leonore, or The Triumph of Marital Love), completed between 1803 & 1814.

The whole Opera is great & runs about 2.5 hours. As most people don't have the time, inclination or attention for a 2.5 hour opera, I have selected my favorite singing part that only lasts 4 minutes 45 seconds for your enjoyment. If you get the chance, listen to the full opera.
