Beethoven Lives Upstairs at Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts

Beethoven Lives Upstairs features a lively exchange of letters between young Christoph and his uncle. Their subject is Beethoven, who has moved into the upstairs apartment of Christoph's Vienna home. Through a touching correspondence dramatically underscored with the composer's most beautiful excerpts, Christoph comes to understand the genius of Beethoven, the beauty of his music, and the torment of his deafness. This Classical Kids production captivates audiences of all ages with more than twenty-five excerpts of the master's music, including the Moonlight Sonata, Fur Elise, and the great Fifth and Ninth Symphonies.
