Mythos Mozart: Immersive Mozart Media Experience

The journey, in full

In just under 60 minutes, visitors are immersed in Mozart’s world in five spaces: 1. REQUIEM (REQUIEM) - MOZART’S DEATH Experience the place where Mozart was immortalized Mozart spent the final year of his life here with his wife Constanze, composing masterpieces such as DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE (THE MAGIC FLUTE) and REQUIEM (REQUIEM). He was healthy up until shortly before he died. His son, Carl Thomas, was seven years old when Mozart died surrounded by his family, little Franz Xaver was only four months. His funeral mass was read in St. Stephen’s Cathedral – shadow projections and 1,500 candles allow us to feel the atmosphere of the solemn occasion. 2. VIENNA 1791 – MOZART’S CITY Stroll through Mozart’s city of Vienna in 1791 The heart of a great European power once beat here. As an economic centre and lively metropolis with a magnificent imperial court and many aristocratic palaces, Vienna was a magical attraction for artists and musicians – and for showmen such as the balloonist Jean-Pierre Blanchard Mozart was very disappointed not to have seen his sensational “journey up into the air” with his own eyes on July 6, 1791. Climb aboard, we’ll fly off together! 3. WORLD MUSIC – MOZART’S EINE KLEINE NACHTMUSIK (A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC) Experience Mozart as world music. Mozart spent an incredible ten years travelling. He was convinced that education and global openness were impossible without travel – certainly he would have liked to see more of the world. He found inspiration everywhere, even composed music for instruments that were exotic at the time, and would have enjoyed making music with artists from all over the world. We’ll play his piece, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Night Music), together with you! 4. GENIUS – MOZART THE COMPOSER Compose the overture together with Mozart For Mozart, everything, every sensory experience, every encounter, became music. This sometimes made people who met him genuinely angry – he looked through them to view them as an opera figure. Without thinking about it, he created music while talking to anything or anyone nearby. 5. DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE (THE MAGIC FLUTE) – MOZART FOREVER Mozart forever – that’s what the future sounds like anyway. Mozart was already a star throughout Europe in his day – today his music has conquered the world. We get to experience how artificial intelligence creates never-before-seen visual worlds from millions of data, sound and video recordings, images and texts, book titles, covers and from many original documents such as manuscripts and letters. Mozart, the innovator, would have appreciated how we’re looking into the future with him and his music!
