Child prodigy. Musical rebel. Outcast. Icon. Step into the mind of a genius—and meet the extraordinary women who shaped, challenged, and ultimately saved him. Inspired by Nannerl, the sister who played before he did. Driven by Leopold, the father who demanded perfection. Resurrected by Constanze, the wife who refused to let the world forget. Shunned by society. Fuelled by brilliance. This is the Mozart you’ve never met—raw, human, electric. Saving Mozart is a bold new musical based on a powerful true story of passion, defiance, and music that refused to die.
