About

Nothing is more revealing of a person’s character than their private letters, especially if they are not intended for publication... W.A. Mozart’s letters are candid, emotional, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking as we follow his precarious fortunes, his triumphs and hardships, his reliance on fickle patronage, his occasional penury, his cheeky letters to his cousin and his desperation to please a tyrannical father.

As Australian theatre legend John Bell traces the life and career of Mozart, reading extensively from his letters along with comments by some of his contemporaries, extraordinary concert pianist Simon Tedeschi performs a soundtrack to the young composer's life with a range of Mozart’s exhilarating music for piano, including some of his best-loved works such as his Fantasia in D minor (K.397), Twinkle Twinkle variations, and his Rondo Alla Turca (Turkish march).
