Welcome!

Ludwig van Beethoven is the most frequently performed of all classical composers. He was also a radical artist who constantly reinvented himself, expanded the boundaries of music and posed questions to society. Even today he inspires people all over the world. BTHVN2020 will celebrate the 250th anniversary of his birth by mobilising people and opening up a wide range of perspectives – both on and about Beethoven more

ELEONORE - I don't need to be happy, 3rd date

Carlswerk Victoria | 51063 Köln

Liberation Opera

"I can still be happy" - sings Leonore in Beethoven's opera FIDELIO. This single, a capella phrase, is the starting point for a radical questioning and reinterpretation of the work. What does individual happiness mean? What is liberation? Based on Beethoven's opera, Leonore's story is rewritten and set to music. A performative-musical search for the essence of happiness and freedom is translated into various contemporary sound languages.
