Beethoven's Missa Solemnis: Osterklang

Sobre o Evento

Theater an der Wien presents Beethoven's Missa Solemnis as part of the Easter festival, Osterklang.

'From the heart – may it return to the heart!'
With these words, Beethoven dedicated his solemn Mass, the Missa Solemnis, to his friend and pupil Archduke Rudolph. Tormented and nearly deaf, Beethoven shows in this piece his unbreakable eagerness to study and his confrontation with the Church style. His deep understanding of the liturgical text is to be found in the emotional and highly expressive music.
