The premiere took place at the State Opera and Ballet Theatre "Astana Opera" on 14-15 February 2020

 

The life and fate of the great German composer formed the basis of the ballet Beethoven – Immortal – Love.

Raimondo Rebeck, the author of the libretto and choreographer, is known to our audience for his one-act ballet How long is Now? and Cinderella, which successfully run at the stage of the Astana Opera.

The musical basis for the production are the works of Beethoven himself (including the famous Ninth Symphony with the participation of the choir), as well as Bach, Haydn, Mozart and modern composer by Dirk Haubrich.

 

         The ballet is about the tragedy and triumph of the great creator, whose life companions were Deafness, Suffering, Love and Inspiration.
