Opis wydarzenia
A prodigy who had the brightest future, but life was torn between brilliance and self-destruction. A music legend killed by his own genius!
With the musical MOZART! Austrian creators present the celebrity of Austria's rich history, the musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 1756 - 1791). He is one of the most famous classical composers of all time, admired for his masterful melodies and infamous for an extravagant lifestyle, which, incidentally, resembles the behavior of many modern pop stars, who died an untimely death at the age of just 35 after a stunning and feverishly fast career. MOZART! the idea of the plot reveals the main character's contradiction to the world around him. Although the story is set in the 18th century, modern viewers will instantly recognize the problems faced by the main character and find many connections to their own life experiences. Mozart confronts his inevitable fate and the drama of his coming-of-age personality, making his story both moving and timeless.
MOZART! – the brilliance of rock in the Rococo world. The intersection of styles, the irreconcilable head-on between the past and the present reflects the ambiguity of the main character's being. Mozart, a man, feels suffocated by the traditions of the Salzburg court: as an artist, he is only a servant to the nobility. However, he longs for creative and personal freedom, to live his life, to dream, and at the same time to kiss, play cards, love. Mozart, a former child prodigy, is relentlessly haunted by the genius part of his personality, the "porcelain child" Amadeus, who writes music incessantly, visible only to him and the audience.
This poignant psychological ambiguity is underscored by composer Sylvester Levay's musical concept: the score combines the stark contemporary genres of ballads, reggae, and rock with Mozart's subtle original Rococo melodies, which play whenever Amadeus, Mozart's grunting, childlike alter ego, sits at the piano.
Instead of focusing on the prevailing myth of the genius composer, the musical presents the legendary Mozart as a flawed, fragile and therefore very understandable human being.
The musical MOZART! seeks to free Mozart's personality from clichés and superficial worship and allows the audience to see and feel Mozart as a real, living, breathing person.
The world musical MOZART! premiered at Theater an der Wien, Vienna, 1999. The first international premiere was in 2001. in Hamburg. The performances were staged in 9 countries: Austria, Belgium, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and were performed in seven languages: Czech, Flemish, German, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Swedish. More than 2,300 performances were performed, and during this time the musical was seen by over 2.5 million viewers.
