The Other Mozart

A Play by Sylvia Milo

She performed across Europe to equal acclaim as her brother Amadeus, and then history forgot her. The Other Mozart tells the true story of Nannerl Mozart, a prodigy, keyboard virtuoso and composer, in this award-winning solo performance that earned Outstanding Solo Performance honors at the New York Innovative Theatre Awards and nominations from the Drama Desk and Off Broadway Alliance. Created and written by Sylvia Milo, the play unfolds inside a stunning 18-foot gown, with music composed from instruments and ordinary objects she loved. Based on the family’s own letters, The Other Mozart transports the audience into a world of outsized beauty and delight but also overwhelming restrictions and prejudice. At last, this other Mozart tells her story, in this “strikingly beautiful…” (New York Times) production.
