Io, Ludwig Van Beethoven

The new theatrical season 2024-2025 of the Teatro Curci in Barletta continues.

Next appointment: IO, LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN
project and direction by CORRADO D'ELIA

The show is centered around the figure of the musical genius Ludwig Van Beethoven and tells the story of his immense talent and, at the same time, his humanity. Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the greatest musical geniuses ever to have existed. One cannot understand genius with normal eyes, it does not fit into any category and its complexity cannot be grasped. To investigate his life means to approach unusual human heights, to steal for a moment his greatness and madness to reach unexpected exhilarations and emotions. Thus, starting from an ancient passion, we approach Beethoven with emotion to investigate his many mysteries, his deafness, his relationships with his father and his time, his talent, his loves, deep and conflicting, his harshness and above all his music, his immortal music. And that Ninth Symphony, those four movements so well known and loved that changed the history of music forever. Why did Beethoven wait ten years to compose the Ninth when he already had the music in his head? What happened in those ten years? What changed in the world around him and what happened within him, and, above all, how did he prepare for the evening of the first performance, in Vienna, on May 7, 1824? It takes time to tell beauty. Let's close our eyes and listen like we've never done before.
