MOZART'S SISTER
Australia, 2024, Documentary, 98 mins.
Cast: Chloe Brown, Montague Cisterne
Director: Madeleine Hetherton-Miau
For the first 16 years of her life, Maria-Anna Mozart shared equal billing whenever she performed with her brother, Wolfgang.
A composer, musician and prodigy in her own right, Maria-Anna and Wolfgang often played for royalty around the world. Her father considered Maria-Anna one of the finest keyboard players in all of Europe.
But at the height of her career, Maria-Anna was made to retire as it was considered unseemly at the time for adult females to perform publicly.
Mozart’s Sister is a ‘musical-true-crime’ story that explores the amazing talent and career of Maria-Anna Mozart and what became of her music.
"Beautifully photographed and meticulously researched, this is a long overdue recognition of an artist arguably the equal of her brother." - Sydney Arts Guide
