‘The Impresario’ is set behind the scenes of an opera theater in Mozarts time. Two ‘prima donna’s’ are having a fight for the main role, in the name of high art and for the benefit of the honoured audience. Mozart himself sets in motion a surprising outcome…
Mozart wrote ‘The Impresario’ (‘Der Schauspieldirektor’) in 1786 for a festive banquet at Schloss Schonbrunn, Vienna. The Amsterdam Marionette Theatre made a special adaptation of this play, in which Mozart himself pulls the strings.
