Synopsis:

For the first 16 years of her life, Maria-Anna Mozart shared equal billing whenever she performed with her brother, Wolfgang.

A composer, musician and prodigy in her own right, Maria-Anna and Wolfgang often played for Royalty and were the talk of Europe.

But at the height of her career, Maria-Anna was made to retire as it was considered unseemly at the time for adult females to perform publicly.

Mozart’s Sister is a ‘musical-true-crime’ story that explores the dazzling talent and career of Maria-Anna Mozart and what became of her music.

“Beautifully photographed and meticulously researched, this is a long overdue recognition of an artist arguably the equal of her brother.” Sydney Arts Guide
