Great Performance Series: The Other Mozart
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, whose work and story faded away, lost to history. This play brings her back to the stage. History is made of stories we choose to tell ad stories we choose not to tell. Nannerl Mozart’s story is important today because it is not a tale of a singular villain thwarting a female genius. It is but one example of a systemic tragedy happening innumerable times throughout history. Location: Holland, MI – 30 miles |
