A divine song, performed by professionals of the highest class, with wonderful conductor and in a theater with remarkable architecture. A tribute in tune with Beethoven excellency! A special thanks to the theater staff who kindly printed my entry ticket, as it was not possible to read on my cell phone, which was defective.
