A semi-staged exploration of what Beethoven claimed to be his Masterpiece.  4 soloists, a tuti chorus, a main chorus and boys chorus, orchestra and solo violin all move around the Walt Disney Concert Hall in an attempt to unlock Beethoven's mysterious pattenrs and immense fugues.
 
Video lives on a shattered rose window above the action that sits within the natural curve of the space.  The smaller panels act as projection surfaces or are a 5 x 5 pixel Elidy LED fixture with a trasparent projection surface mounted to the front of it so video can be projected onto the front of the surface and also pushed through from behind. The lighting designer also had control of these fixtures allowing us to build complex effects.
