PasticheNYC presents

Jane Austen's PERSUASION

song cycle

Music by Ludwig Van Beethoven Words by Emily King

Jane Austen & ludwig van beethoven:

"a marriage of two geniuses {Who never met} made in musical theater heaven..."

Jane Austen’s PERSUASION Song Cycle’s nine songs tell the story of Persuasion, Jane Austen’s last completed, least read and most fiercely debated novel. Set within vivid backgrounds of stately homes, sailing ships and rolling British countryside, beautifully dressed (and hatted!) Austen characters sing out their story of prevention, rejection and recovery of lost love, to the driving, sailing, galloping and dancing chamber works of a surprisingly witty and charming Ludwig van Beethoven.
Twelve remarkable singer/actors and fifteen classical musicians helped lyricist/director Emily King create a wholly original, completely Pastiche way of bringing you back in time with the latest technology, thanks to our brilliant audio and video technocrats: Music Director Emily Duncan and Post-Production Coordinator Tony Torn. Diverse and distanced, gorgeous and witty, liberating talent from Canada to Israel and all over the US, for Austen, Beethoven and musical theater fans all over the world.

A feast for the eyes and ears – and the heart – Jane Austen’s PERSUASION Song Cycle celebrates Jane Austen and her ability to triumph over adversity with irony, love and optimism, insisting on a happy ending in her works, even when real life so often sadly disappoints.
You are Cordially invited to...
