-A South African version, billed as ''[[Fidelio on Robben Island]]'', produced by [[Cape Town Opera]] on [[Robben Island]], with the action relocated to South Africa in 1990 – the year of Nelson Mandela's release from Robben Island. "The production went to great lengths to evoke a real apartheid prison experience. The set incorporated structures from the existing prison building, while singers’ costumes exactly replicated the uniforms worn by guards and inmates during apartheid. Wardens from Cape Town's Pollsmoor Prison, hired as supernumerary actors, were stationed on the prison walls and towers during crowd scenes".
