ABOUT
The Venue
Mozart spent the last year of his life at the "Kleines Kayserhaus" at Rauhensteingasse 8, in a representative apartment on the first floor until his death on December 5, 1791. Here he composed masterpieces such as "The Magic Flute", his Clarinet Concerto and the Requiem.
Pietro di Galvagni - a successful Italian merchant, patron, art collector and Viennese resident by choice from 1819 - had the house replaced by a new building in 1848 and erected a bronze bust in Mozart’s memory. which can be seen today in the entrance area of MYTHOS MOZART.
Today, the STEFFL department store is located here and in its basement is MYTHOS MOZART with five unique rooms in which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his impressive works are presented to a wide audience in an unequalled way.
The Five Rooms
MYTHOS MOZART begins with REQUIEM – MOZART’S DEATH, a mysterious place with 1,500 candles that move to the sounds of Mozart’s final composition and transport you to the moment of his immortality. In VIENNA 1791 – MOZART’S CITY you stroll through a magnificent metropolis that is brought to life by a 45-meter-long 360° animation.
In WORLD MUSIC – MOZART’S EINE KLEINE NACHTMUSIK you play along interactively with instruments from all over the world in "A Little Night Music". Among thousands of synapses, GENIUS – MOZART THE COMPOSER immerses you in Mozart's creative world of light and music. For the finale, the Turkish-American new media artist from L.A. Refik Anadol uses artificial intelligence and millions of pieces of data on Mozart to create fantastic visual worlds in DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE (THE MAGIC FLUTE) – MOZART FOREVER.
The Music
The musical director of MYTHOS MOZART, Walter Werzowa composed and rearranged the soundscape that underlies the overall experience. Together with the stars of tomorrow, students from the mdw - University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, he re-recorded the music in an exclusive partnership. These recordings can also be streamed free of charge at any time.
