Mozart: Her Story – The New Musical concert at Theatre Royal Drury Lane

A multi-genre musical with a dominant rock | classical fusion will play two nights only on 16 and 17 November

Based on the life of one of the greatest composers of all time, Mozart: Her Story – The New Musical, shines a unique light on a classic story told through the eyes of Nan, Wolfgang’s rebellious sister, who attempts to break through the misogynistic confines of the era with her courage and prodigious genius.

The woman is in the shadows, behind the man in the sun.

Wolfgang’s sister, Nan Mozart, is a brilliant composer who struggles to be seen and heard in the male-dominated 18th-century Court. When the young virtuosa, who is arguably more talented than her brother, is silenced and banned from all artistic endeavours, she rebels. In this untold story of the greatest composer of all time, his insatiable sibling and conflicted father embark on a journey of love, hate, tragedy, and redemption.

Mozart: Her Story – The New Musical, breaks new ground as it marries Mozart’s classics with over twenty contemporary originals by Tegan Summer & Gregory Nabours.

The cast is led by Gabrielle Brooks as Nan Mozart, Tyrone Huntley as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Anthony Rapp as Count Franz von Walsegg joined by Laura Pitt-Pulford as Anna Maria Mozart, Vinny Coyle as Johann Baptist zu Sonnenburg, and Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer as Constanze Weber.
