The arrival of an eccentric boarder turns a young boy's life upside down. Ludwig van Beethoven has moved in upstairs! At first Christoph resents their new tenant but slowly he comes to understand the genius of the man, the torment of his deafness and the beauty of his music.

Set in Vienna early in the 1800's, young Christoph reads aloud from the letter he has just sent his uncle.  As their correspondence unfolds, a myriad of characters from their colourful letters appear onstage to offer glimpses into Mr. Beethoven's eccentric habits in the year leading to the premiere of his famous Ninth Symphony

A contemporary Canadian masterpiece, the original audio recording of Beethoven Lives Upstairs has claimed dozens of top music, educational, and parenting awards. It has gone multi-platinum, been translated and distributed around the world, and made into an Emmy award-winning film. Based on this highly acclaimed recording, Geordie Productions' Beethoven Lives Upstairs introduces some of the composer's most memorable works, including the Moonlight Sonata, Für Elise, and the great Fifth and Ninth Symphonies, in a beautiful and engaging play for the whole family.
