Beethoven/ Novak/ Filharmonie Brno - Consecration of the House AEC Music Melo - SimpaticoCarl Meisl's play The Consecration of the House, to the music of Ludwig van Beethoven, was performed in Vienna on October 3, 1822 on the occasion of the reopening of the Theater in der Josefstadt. It's theme is the reawakening of art after times of crisis. Beethoven's music to August von Kotzebue's text The Ruins of Athens (1812) served as the basis for the work, and was adapted to Meisl's text as well as expanded to include new music by the composer.
