Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | Mozart L'Opera Rock | Reserved
An entire synopsis of the opera
Note: They only show Mozart's life from age 18 and up, but considering they do mention a bit of his earlier life, I thought I'd add more detail.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began on his path to fame very early. Born on January 27th, 1756, Mozart showed an interest in music at just age three. His father and sister were both very talented and when his father would tutor his older sister Maria Anna (who they called Nannerl), Mozart would listen. She even remarked later that he always played at the harpischord, fascinated and pleased with himself when he played something nice. Their father quickly realized his children's talent and dedicated his life to advancing their musical education. At just four, Mozart learned his first piece of music. It was a scherzo by a Viennese composer and meant for his older sister. Mozart took the notebook it was written in and learned the piece in only half an hour. In the same year (1761), Mozart was playing piano for the public at the University of Salzburg, where his father had studied.
In 1763, when Mozart was seven, he began his first European tour along with his sister and it lasted for three years. In just that year, he went to Munich, Augsburg, Ludwigsburg, Schwetzingen, Mainz, Frankfurt, Coblenz, Aix-la-Chapelle, Brussels, Paris, and Versailles. The amount of places they visited is too long to list and even the amount of royalty they played for is impressive. Including King Louis XV in Paris and King George III in London. In 1764, Mozart composed his first symphony after meeting J.C. Bach. He was only eight years old. During these trips, the children's musical career was practically the only source of income the family had and so it was Mozart and his sister that took care of the family financially.
In Mozart's teenage years, the older Archbishop of Salzburg is very sympathetic (more so than the one shown in the opera, who finds Mozart a nuisance and barely pays him) and Mozart is allowed to travel and expand his career. His father even paid for their trips. By age 17, Mozart has finish symphony No.25, is a concertmaster in Salzburg with a salary, and has written operas. A busy childhood? Definitely. Not to mention how much he accomplishes is nothing less than amazing.
Appearance: Mozart is a rather average-height man. Standing at about 5’8”, he’s attractive, but still average. He’s not too thin or too weighty. Blond and brown-eyed, he usually comes off as flighty and cheerful. He often wears mascara and glitter, his outfits usually a lot more flamboyant as well. But here is a picture of him to sum it all up.
Personality:
Mozart has an extremely colorful personality and that’s putting it simply. Some people seem to believe that the real Mozart suffered from bipolar disorder or from Tourette syndrome simply because of how outrageous he could be, though nothing about that has proven true.
Yet Mozart from Mozart L’opera Rock is just as colorful as the real one. The first glimpse we see of Mozart is him running around happily with women and kissing them while his family agonizes over the fact things have gotten worse for them. Mozart doesn’t know of the bad news yet, but it’s this contrast we’re shown that really shows us what to expect from him.
Mozart always gets chances and in the beginning almost completely destroys them. He's very irresponsible. Falling in love, he comes close to destroying his musical career all for a girl that hasn't even shown she shares his feelings. Impulsive? Yes. It’s not until his father tells him to go to Paris and that he's making a mistake that he realizes he should be doing something. He doesn’t take things seriously very often and he's very childish. He simply does what he wants. When he finally does get big, he blows all his money on extravagant things and goes into debt. That first glimpse we see of him? Just running onto the stage as his family is depressed and he grins, bows charismatically, and introduces himself to the audience? That's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Flamboyant and always pleasing the crowd.
While Mozart finds it hard to be serious, he can be. He’s able to stand up and do what he has to, but it seems only after things really can’t get much worse for him. During his story, it's shown how much life likes to knock him down. He never seems to lose his will to go on until the very end and that’s only because he’s seriously about to die. When it comes to music, Mozart is serious. His music is his life, an escape from reality, and he would make any sacrifice for it. Mozart is a musical genius and he knows it. This shows some arrogance and he definitely has plenty of pride, but he knows that he’ll be big. He believes in this and himself. He makes some potentially dangerous sacrifices for this and yet never looks back. He always seems to be talking about taking chances and doing what you want to do.
An important trait of Mozart’s is that he has some issues with authority and seems to not do well being told what to do. In one of the songs he sings, “Place Je Passe”, he says:
“No disrespect to the footmen who kiss the feet of men with better shoes
I have to laugh
They live the lives of crushed bugs.”
This line right here is very telling of how he sees society and his role in it. People telling him what to do? People being better than him? No thanks. Considering he grew up with a very strict father (daddy issues don’t even begin to cover this man) and Colloredo who treats him like a servant, it's obvious why he’s this way. Rules don’t mean much to him and with a song called “The Troublemaker” where he says:
“I am a free thinker
A troublemaker, a rabble-rouser
Gentleman, judges, and prosecutors
No, I don’t give a damn about your title”
He makes it obvious how he feels. He goes against rules and finds ways to bend them. The opera wants to constantly let this be known.
While Mozart always stands up against society, he is not unbreakable and when Vienna finally tires of him, he does get depressed and angry. He wants people to enjoy his music and he works hard to keep going, even as he’s dying which shows a lot of strength, but he still crumbles. Even as he dies, he still thinks about his music first and wants to desperately finish his requiem before he does pass away. The only reason he doesn’t isn’t because of him, but only because he can’t fight death any longer.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a very dimensional man. He’s eccentric, a genius, and somebody who believes in himself. He’s somebody who wants to let it be known just who he is and live life how he wants to.
Abilites:
Mozart is a very human man. He’s a genius and his music has been remembered for ages, but nothing else stands out. Unless we count his ability to mess things up repeatedly can be counted.
Other:
Holly Heights has themselves a new musician.

First Person:

[It’s taken him some time to learn how to use this sort of thing and it was a very useful to have people who did know. Amazing how far technology had come. A smile on his face, he greets Holly Heights.]
Greetings, fellow citizens! It’s come to my attention that we all seem a little glum and I don’t think we can just allow that to happen. After all, what can be done if we just let out hopes down? Not very much.
So! I was wondering if anybody would be interested in playing in my recent work? It’s an opera set into three acts. I have other works, but being in a position such as this has left my mind reeling with so many stories and ideas. Is there anybody with any musical experience? Don’t be shy, even if it’s your first! My experience can surely make up for your lack of one.
Third Person:
Mozart sighed, setting down his pen as he stared at it. It was certainly better than his pens back in his old home, but it lacked familiarity. Everything did and even this new life, which lacked the debt and the constant fear of death, did not comfort him. He wanted Constanze and his children. It wasn’t as if he had very long to—
Shaking his head, he took the thoughts out. No, he couldn’t think about that. He had work to do, even if he was away from Vienna. But everything was so strange. This world had so many things he couldn’t understand and it was just as frightening as it was thrilling. Sometimes he wondered if Death had taken him without him knowing and this was some bizarre afterlife. It was too strange and so that theory was always tossed away.
His heart was beating and his body was healthy. He was alive. How? He wasn’t sure, but he was and with this gift he had to finish his work. That was what he did know. Nothing could stop him.
