The Other Mozart: the forgotten story of Mozart’s genius sister
Performed by Sylvia Milo
THE OTHER MOZART is an award-winning play telling the true, forgotten
story of Nannerl Mozart, the sister of Amadeus - a prodigy, keyboard
virtuoso and composer, who performed throughout Europe with her
brother to equal acclaim, but her work and her story faded away, lost
to history.
‘'Strikingly beautiful'’ - New York Times
''A gem of a show'.’ - The Stage (LONDON)
‘'Hauntingly beautiful'’ - LA Times
Created by Sylvia Milo, directed by Isaac Byrne, the monodrama is set
in a stunning 18-foot dress created to fill and spill over the entire
stage. THE OTHER MOZART is based on facts, stories and lines pulled
directly from the Mozart family's humorous and heartbreaking letters.
Along with music composed by her famous brother and Marianna Martines
(a female composer who inspired Nannerl), original music was written
for the play by Nathan Davis and Phyllis Chen (of Lincoln Center's
Mostly Mozart Festival, BAM, and the International Contemporary
Ensemble) for the instruments Nannerl knew intimately, such as
clavichords, music boxes, and bells, as well as teacups, fans, and
other ordinary objects that might have captured her imagination.
With the opulent beauty of the dress, the sweet smell of perfume, and
the clouds of dusting powder rising from the stage, THE OTHER MOZART
is a multi-sensual experience that transports the audience into a
world of outsized beauty and delight -- but also of overwhelming
restrictions and prejudice, where, this other Mozart at last tells her
story.
