Beethoven lands in Berlin, rants about his tenth symphony
NewsPlaywright Moritz Rinke’s new work ‘A man who called himself Beethoven’ finds the composer landing in the ruins of Karajan’s Philharmonie, where he launches a diatribe against the data people who tried to complete his abandoned tenth symphony.
