The Other Mozart – The forgotten story of Mozart’s genius sister

The forgotten story of Mozart’s genius sister. The Other Mozart is an award-winning, Drama Desk nominated play telling the true, forgotten story of Nannerl Mozart, the genius sister of Amadeus, who performed throughout Europe alongside him to equal acclaim, but her work and her story faded away, lost to history.

Set in a stunning 18-foot dress, inspired by the Mozart family’s hilarious and heartbreaking letters, this award-winning production by playwright Sylvia Milo ushers you into a world of opulence and delight – obscured by restriction and prejudice.

Music score by Nathan Davis and Phyllis Chen (Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival) brings Nannerl’s musical imagination to life using clavichords, music boxes, teacups and fluttering fans.

With the opulent beauty of the dress, the sweet smell of perfume, the sublime enveloping sound and the clouds of dusting powder rising from the stage, the performance creates a multi-sensual experience.

There, in communion with the audience, this other Mozart at last tells her story. “Strikingly beautiful” – New York Times “A gem of a show” – The Stage (London) “dazzling, original performance… hauntingly beautiful compositions… the dress is worthy of a gallery installation all its own.” – LA Times “fascinating and irresistibly intelligent… it is beautiful.” – Theatermania “This show is the height of theatrical achievement.” — Theater is Easy
