After Fidelio , Ludwig van Beethoven worked on another opera project for a long time. None other than Franz Grillparzer had written the text for him. But Beethoven never seriously tackled the composition. In the end, it was Conradin Kreutzer, who is best known today for his “Hobellied” from Ferdinand Raimund 's Der Verschuzzer , who set Grillparzer's Melusina libretto to music.

This interesting constellation of Beethoven, Grillparzer and Kreutzer, who was also known during his lifetime as a virtuoso on the panharmonicon (a precursor of the harmonium), inspired the musicologist Alexander Doent to write Kreutzer's  Melusina with original compositions by Beethoven and to arrange the orchestral part for organ and chamber ensemble. This very special version of the story about the highly romantic love of the water nymph Melusina for the knight Raimund can now be experienced for the first time in the BlackBox.

Nach Fidelio beschäftigte Ludwig van Beethoven über längere Zeit ein weiteres Opernprojekt. Kein Geringerer als Franz Grillparzer hatte ihm hierfür den Text geschrieben. Doch Beethoven nahm die Komposition nie ernsthaft in Angriff. Am Ende war es dann Conradin Kreutzer, den man heute vor allem wegen seines „Hobelliedes“ aus Ferdinand Raimunds Der Verschwender kennt, der Grillparzers Melusina-Libretto in Musik setzte.

Diese interessante Konstellation um Beethoven, Grillparzer und Kreutzer, der zu seinen Lebzeiten unter anderem auch als Virtuose auf dem Panharmonicon (einer Vorform des Harmoniums) bekannt wurde, inspirierte den Musikwissenschaftler Alexander Doent dazu, Kreutzers Melusina mit Originalkompositionen Beethovens zu ergänzen und den Orchesterpart für Orgel und Kammerensemble zu bearbeiten. Diese ganz spezielle Fassung der Geschichte um die hochromantische Liebe der Wassernymphe Melusina zu dem Ritter Raimund wird nun in der BlackBox erstmals zu erleben sein.
