For the revival of the musical "Beethoven," which premiered in 2023 as "Beethoven Secret," two of Korea’s most powerful vocalists have been cast as the composer: Park Hyo-shin, returning for a second season, and Hong Kwang-ho, newly joining the production.
"Beethoven" is a collaboration between playwright Michael Kunze and composer Sylvester Levay.
The role of Antonie (Toni) Brentano — a spiritual companion who understands Beethoven’s inner world and inspires his music — will be shared by Yoon Gong-ju, Kim Ji-hyun and Kim Ji-woo.
"Beethoven" will run from June 9 to Aug. 11 at the Grand Theater of the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Jongno-gu, Seoul.
