Described as “a multi-genre musical with a dominant rock classical fusion”, Mozart: Her Story – The New Musical, shines a unique light on the life of one of the greatest composers of all time, 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.
