Music by: Sylvester Levay
Book and Lyrics by: Michael Kunze
Original production directed by: Harry Kupfer
Based on the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart


The untimely death of one of the greatest composers of all time has always been a source of interest and speculation, and his life is no less interesting. Read through the synopsis for this show's take on the legend.

To learn a bit more, browse through the lyrics from the Vienna production!


More than 200 years after his death, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is perhaps better known than ever. His music and the story of his life and death have earned immortality. Read a bit about the real Mozart, or read more about the development of the musical.


I was hoping they'd make a Hamburg recording of the show, but no such luck! Still, I've got a couple of different recordings - you can read my reviews of the CDs, or listen to a clip from Wie kann es m�glich sein (my current favourite song) or a clip from the ending.

I had planned to see this show in Hamburg in July of 2002, but the production closed at the end of June, so I missed it. However, I was able to see it in Budapest instead! Read more of my thoughts about that experience.

There have been some really great people in this show! Read a bit more about some of my favourites.

Once you're done looking around here, check out some of the other Mozart! sites that are out there.
