Beethoven became deaf in his late twenties.Beethoven only wrote one classical opera, Fidelio. He moved to vienna while in his early twenties. Nobody knows why Beethoven became deaf. But even though he was deaf he still wrote beautiful symphonies. I think Beethoven is a great artisit for music. By: Abby Hoy & Stephanie
