WVAC: Madame Mozart

Faced with the sudden death of her genius husband, Constanze Mozart’s secretly connives to complete and deliver his final commission, Requiem in D minor, by bamboozling the patriarchy at its own game. In the end, she’s the only one standing, cleverer and braver than everyone else in her story. 

“I love an underestimated woman,” says playwright Anne Undeland, “It was up to Wolfgang to make the music, but it was up to Constanze to face it.”

Directed by Myriam Cyr, the play features a dreamscape of color and emotion, fueled by some of the greatest music ever written.

“Madame Mozart weaves Mozart’s requiem through Constanze Mozart's heroic rescue of her husband's work with humor, pathos, otherworldliness and, of course, Mozart’s  music. ”
