Beethoven in Bournemouth

Beethoven's ballet The Creatures of Prometheus, performed live by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

Presented by Martin Handley, live from the Lighthouse, Poole

In his new work, Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg, using inspiration from Beethoven’s private Conversation Books, peers into the mind of a genius. The only ballet Beethoven composed, The Creatures of Prometheus, completes the programme. In the ballet, Prometheus finds mankind in a state of ignorance and decides to educate them in art and science.
