Directed by and starring Corrado D'Elia. This play examines the life of Ludwig van Beethoven, investigating the struggle, passion and mystery that surrounded the musical genius. In particular it asks why it took him ten years to compose his Ninth Symphony if he already had the music in his head? What happened in those ten years? What changed in his world in that time, and more importantly what was going through his head before his first performance of the symphony in Vienna in 1824? In Italian. Teatro Belli, Piazza S.
