Overture |
[On a late night in the spring of 1827 |
The city of Vienna is experiencing the largest lightning storm in its long |
history |
Within a large disheveled room |
Ludwig Von Beethoven is slumped over his piano |
And on the piano sits the just completed manuscript for his tenth symphony |
It is his final, and he is certain, his greatest work.] |
Since the time when ra and isis |
Raised the sphinx out of the sand |
And apollo dreamed athena |
And men began to understand |
That when darkness folds on darkness |
In the restless tides of night |
And lightning raises shadows |
And for moments gives them life |
It’s been said by those who ponder |
That it surely is a sign |
That a life touched by the stars |
Is now running out of time |
And that somewhere in that darkness |
In the heart of that great storm |
The world returns a soul |
That the gods caused to be born |
And this was such a storm |
The kind one rarely sees in life |
For in a room now filled with shadows |
The great Beethoven was spending |
His last night |
[From the shadows a beautiful spirit, fate |
And her deformed dwarf son, twist |
Emerge to inform Beethoven of what he has already deeply suspected |
That this is to be his last night on earth |
They are accompanied by numerous spirits and ghosts from his past.] |
