About the Show

The untold story of Mozart and the women who shaped, challenged, and saved his legacy.

The Mozart Question reveals the untold story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart through the lives of the women who knew him best. Far from the spotlight, these women inspired his genius, challenged his ego, and fought to preserve his legacy long after his death. Through their overlooked contributions—whether as collaborators, confidantes, or caretakers—the play reframes Mozart’s life as one shaped not just by talent, but by the powerful influence of those around him. It’s a bold, humanizing look at a towering figure, seen through the eyes of those history nearly forgot.
