33 Variations
33 Variations Tickets and Information
Synopsis
In 1819, fledgling publisher Anton Diabelli commissioned 50 composers to write a variation on a waltz he had created. Beethoven rejected the invitation, dismissing Diabelli's waltz as ordinary. He then obsessively created 33 variations on Diabelli's theme. Why?
Written and directed by Moises Kaufman, 33 Variations weaves Beethoven's artistic journey with that of Katherine, a contemporary musicologist wrestling to pin down the source of his inexplicable fascination with a seemingly insignificant piece of music. Deciphering clues left behind in Beethoven's notebooks and letters, Katherine delves into his compositional process and daily life, finding greater insight into her own obsessive genius.
