Experience The Other Mozart, an intimate, award-winning play telling the true, forgotten story of Mozart’s sister Nannerl February 13-15 at Gettysburg College’s Majestic Theater. Each show includes an opportunity to purchase a pre-show meal served in the Majestic’s Patron’s Lounge
The Other Mozart is a work of innovative theatre that sparked an international conversation about women in music. Described by The New York Times as “strikingly beautiful,” and the Los Angeles Times as “hauntingly beautiful,” critics and audiences across the globe agree about this compelling work. The one-woman work of theatre is written and performed by Sylvia Milo and tells the forgotten story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s genius older sister. A prodigy, keyboard virtuoso and composer who performed throughout Europe with her brother to equal acclaim, her story and work are lost to history, simply because she was a woman.
“The Other Mozart is an invigorating and moving piece of music-theatre that has had a profound impact on audiences around the world. Having the artist who created this theatrical phenomenon here in Gettysburg to perform in such an intimate venue is truly a special opportunity,” stated the Majestic Theater’s Executive Director, Brett Messenger, who presented this work to great acclaim in his previous theatre and presented the world-premiere of their subsequent work.
The performance will be presented in the Majestic’s 136-seat flexible theater, familiar to many patrons as one of the facility’s two cinemas. As a special addition to the performance schedule, a screening of the new documentary, Mozart’s Sister will be presented for one night only on Tuesday, February 11 with a post-show discussion with the artist, Sylvia Milo.
The show is made possible by the Majestic Theater Centennial Endowment, and support from Ken and Elizabeth Lundeen.
