Ludwig’s Songs

Description:

Concert-show which describes an unprecedented profile of Beethoven through the reading of an imaginary letter of his nephew to the English publisher George Thompson, in which he communicates his uncle’s death.

The actor, in the place of Beethoven’s nephew, tells the story of Beethoven’s life evocating famous and less known themes of the composer, which are then played by the Ensemble Giordano, in a unique show.


The performance is mostly concentrated on less known compositions of Beethoven, like his folk songs, but it will also propose to the audience some transcriptions of his most famous works, like sonatas and symphonic works, to give a complete and sometimes unusual profile of the genius of Bonn.

Special guest: Giampiero Mancini, actor
