OPERA OPEN 2020: Ninth Symphony/The Survivor of Warsaw

12 September 2020, Saturday, 20:00 h. (8:00 pm)

Ancient Theater - Plovdiv, 2a Tsar Ivaylo Str

250 years since the birth of Beethoven
75 years since the establishment of the Philharmonic in Plovdiv

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is probably the most powerful musical utopia known to mankind; the musical testimony "The Survivor of Warsaw" - the most terrible anti-utopia. The gates of Heaven and the wind of an angel's wing - and the doors of the gas chamber. Two choral hymns to the Deity, coming from the very depths of the hearts. The idea to combine these two polar works is the idea to delineate the boundaries of the human today. Let's get excited - Through music and in the name of music.
