Beethoven Lives Upstairs is an Emmy award winning play depicting a young boy's appreciation of music as he listens to the new, eccentric upstairs renter-Beethoven. It is a story of genius and childhood that turns the boy's life upside down. Humorous and factual stories interweave with the musicians of the orchestra and actors from Classical Kids Live to portray the human side of Beethoven as the child comes to understand the genius of Beethoven, the torment of his deafness, and the beauty of his music.
The performance is approximately 50 minutes in length and is recommended for audiences age six and up.
Tickets $8-$12
