Dom Hartley-Harris:
“I am incredibly excited to be part of this amazing team, both those in the cast and creatively. The Rock/Classical fusion seems so unique to me. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to help tell this story, one that carries themes that remain important today.”
A multi-genre musical with a dominant rock classical fusion. 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 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.
