Beethoven’s Promethean Concerto in C Minor WoO. Following Aristotle’s principles of three unities, this Four Movement music drama takes place on August 6,1826, the fateful day when Beethoven's beloved nephew, Karl, shot himself in the head.  Beethoven, forced to review the soul record of his life, ponders the universal question that had plagued him, Hamlet, and all of humankind since the dawn of time: "To be or not to be?"  Yes, for any soul-searching being, this is always the question.

This is a story about great love – obsessive love for his nephew and for his “Immortal Beloved,” Josephine.  Countess Josephine von Brunsvik was Beethoven’s Soul Mate, more accurately his Twin Flame.  Like the star-crossed lovers in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, whose tragic love story continues to mesmerize audiences centuries later, the story of Ludwig and Josephine will fascinate today’s audience, as they witness what happens when a great love -- due to fear, convention, and class constraints -- falls apart. Many people self-destruct, and indeed, Beethoven went through periods of great angst and depression, but ultimately, this musical genius chose to use his passion and pain to create some of the world's most memorable music that is heard throughout the play.
