Seattle Opera – Ode to Beethoven with Sarah Larsen and John Keene
In celebration of Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th birthday, Seattle Opera presents a recital with mezzo-soprano Sarah Larsen and pianist, John Keene in collaboration with the This is Beethoven festival by Emerald City Music. Ms. Larsen has prepared a program with selections by Ludwig van Beethoven as well as pieces by female composers Fanny Mendelssohn and Dame Ethel Smyth who were greatly influenced by Beethoven’s style. According to Larsen this women wrote, “with extensive range–exploring harsh, stark textures as well as soft, fluid ones. I can only come to the conclusion that they wrote brilliantly.” For more information, visit www.seattleopera.org/beethoven
