Beethoven—I Shall Hear in Heaven follows Beethoven as he grapples with the onset of deafness, a devastating diagnosis for a composer—and yet, his creative drive never falters.
Deaf but defiant, he continues to compose through silence, producing some of the most celebrated and emotionally complex music of his career.
At the heart of the piece is not just a struggle against hearing loss, but a portrait of an artist determined to create, no matter the odds—and the result is some of the most profound music ever written.
