“The Other Mozart”

There was another Mozart the sister of Amadeus, a forgotten genius.
“The Other Mozart” is the true and untold story of Nannerl Mozart 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.
Created by Sylvia Milo, it is set in and on a sweeping 18-foot dress, and amidst the Enlightenment and a climate of great social change. Based on facts, stories, and lines pulled directly from the Mozart family's humorous and heartbreaking letters, the play still resonates today.
Along with music composed by her famous brother and Marianna Martines (a Viennese 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 and the International Contemporary Ensemble) using clavichords, music boxes, bells, teacups, and fans.
“Strikingly beautiful,” writes The New York Times.
