Beethoven: Ways of Hearing

Join us for an exclusive Q&A event with DJ Kurs, the Artistic Director behind Deaf West Theatre, which was a driving force behind last summer’s groundbreaking European tour of Beethoven’s Fidelio, adapted into sign language in collaboration with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Exploring Beethoven’s experience with hearing loss, this innovative production redefined opera through a fusion of music, sign language, and visual storytelling, bringing the timeless themes of freedom and justice to life in an inclusive and transformative way. Don’t miss this captivating discussion about the creative process, the impact of the tour, and the future of accessibility in the performing arts.
