How old was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart when he composed the first work that is still performed today?
His childhood was filled with intensive study, constant travel and, above all, performing. Trained by his father, he appeared before the royal courts of Europe while still a child, astonishing kings and queens with his extraordinary talent. A world-class musical education, combined with exceptional natural ability and an astonishing memory, resulted in more than forty symphonies, around twenty operas, hundreds of other compositions, and the birth of one of classical music's greatest legends.
Together, we'll separate fact from fiction, uncover fascinating secrets, and take a look behind the scenes of Mozart's life and the musical world of eighteenth-century Vienna.
