Beethoven was involved with the theatre in one way or another from boyhood, and the commission to compose incidental music for Goethe's play 'Egmont' at the Royal Imperial Court Theatre in Vienna was the first of many such collaborations. Beethoven's score conveys the essence of this tragedy and reveals his clear affinity with its theme of heroic sacrifice by a man condemned to death for taking a valiant stand against oppression.
