Overview

Roll Over Beethoven is a vivid fever log for a speaker and orchestra in which the character of Ludwig van Beethoven – portrayed by acclaimed actor John Malkovich – addresses the audience directly with a monologue based on the Heiligenstadt Testament: a despairing 1802 letter Beethoven wrote to his brothers about his existential struggle with progressing deafness. Episodes of the story are interwoven with Beethoven’s music, performed by the Vienna Academy Orchestra and its artistic director, Martin Haselböck. Founded by Haselböck in 1985, the orchestra is considered one of the most important period-instrument ensembles in the world.
