“The Other Mozart” had a critically acclaimed Off-Broadway run at in New York City in 2014 and has returned to the city every year since at the Players Theatre (also presented by All for One Festival at the Cherry Lane Theater).
The play was presented in Austria, in Salzburg, at the invitation of the Mozarteum Foundation at the Mozart Wohnhaus (inside the Mozarts’ apartment) and by the Mozarteum University, as part of the now annual Symposium on Nannerl Mozart, which the play inspired into creation in Germany at the Pasinger Fabrik in Munich, and in Estonia, Tyrol and at the University of Toronto, Canada.
