Information

After Fidelio, Ludwig van Beethoven was occupied for a long time with another opera project. None other than Franz Grillparzer had written the text for it. But Beethoven never took the composition seriously. In the end, it was Conradin Kreutzer, known today primarily for his "Hobellied" from Ferdinand Raimund's Der Verschwender, who set Grillparzer's Melusina libretto to music.

Diese interessante Konstellation um Beethoven, Grillparzer und Kreutzer, der zu seinen Lebzeiten unter anderem auch als Virtuose auf dem Panharmonicon (einer Vorform des Harmoniums) bekannt wurde, inspirierte den Musikwissenschaftler Alexander Doent dazu, Kreutzers Melusina mit Originalkompositionen Beethovens zu ergänzen und den Orchesterpart für Orgel und Kammerensemble zu bearbeiten. Diese ganz spezielle Fassung der Geschichte um die hochromantische Liebe der Wassernymphe Melusina zu dem Ritter Raimund wird nun in der BlackBox erstmals zu erleben sein.
