Classical Death Match: Mozart vs Beethoven | Basement Orchestra

  • Arcola Theatre 24 Ashwin Street London, E8 3DL United Kingdom (map)

“Music should strike fire from the heart of a man, and bring tears from the eyes of a woman.” Ludwig van Beethoven.

“Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.” Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Ludwig van Beethoven and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the two titans of musical history return in the finest of fine drag-king finery to face each other and prove their supremacy once and for all. With Basement Orchestra on hand to bust out each contender’s greatest hits – no filler tunes – this is going to be the fight of the millennium.

Notes will fly, wigs will come askew, egos will tremble and ears will be delighted until you decide who is the winner.

Presented by Basement Orchestra, in association with Arcola Creative Engagement.
