Sylvester Levay
Mozart!
Rock meets rococo in this dynamic biographical musical about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay's hit musical presents the legendary composer not as a distant myth, but as a flawed, vibrant, and relatable human being torn between court tradition and personal freedom. Blending modern genres like rock and ragtime with original rococo melodies, the production explores the eternal conflict of a creative genius suffocated by expectations yet driven by his art.
Featuring lavish design and a rich score, the 2-act staging follows the prodigy from his youth to his untimely death at 35. Audiences will find striking contemporary parallels in Mozart's struggles with destiny, rebellion, and self-destruction, all while his alter ego 'Amadé' relentlessly pursues him on stage.
