Saving Mozart is a bold and passion-filled new musical currently on at The Other Palace in London. As the name suggests, it’s based on the true story and the life of composer Mozart.
Step into the mind of a genius — and meet the extraordinary women who shaped, challenged, and ultimately saved him.
Inspired by Nannerl, the sister who played before he did.
Driven by Leopold, the father who demanded perfection.
Resurrected by Constanze, the wife who refused to let the world forget.
Shunned by society. Fuelled by brilliance.
This is the Mozart you’ve never met — raw, human, electric.
The musical is written and composed by the phenomenal Charli Eglinton and directed by Markus Olzinger.
It features some of the West End’s best, brightest and upcoming talent, including: Aimie Atkinson as Nannerl, Jack Chambers as Mozart, Erin Caldwell as Constanze, Jordan Luke Gage as Salieri, Douglas Hansell as Leopold, Carla Lopez Corpas & Izzie Monk as Little Mozart and Gloria Onitiri as Anna Maria.
The songs are catchy, the story is compelling, and Jack Chambers excels as Mozart, really making you feel for Mozart and all he goes through during the course of his life. Izzie Monks as Little Mozart is an absolute star, captivating the audience and showcasing how, from a young age, Mozart just wanted to impress his father.
Aimie Atkinson shines whenever she’s on stage, capturing Nannerl’s love for her brother, loyalty to her father. Some of her scenes pack a real emotional punch that tug on the heartstrings and show how versatile she is as an actress.
Jordan Luke Gage as Salieri steals every scene he’s in as Mozart’s nemesis and competition. Quietly menacing and full of confidence, the relationship between him and Mozart feels like it’s very underplayed in the production and could be explored more. Especially when you have actors like Jordan and Jack who could really sink their teeth into the material and who riff off each other so well. It also makes us long to see Jordan play more morally ambiguous characters.
Constanze, Mozart’s wife, is someone who we don’t see until the second act and much like Salieri, feels like a very underutilised character whose potential we are slowly uncovering as the show ends.Erin Caldwell makes you feel the love Comstanze has for Mozart and the utter belief she has that he will succeed.
Overall, Saving Mozart provides a delightful insight into the life of one of the world’s most renowned composers. Full of songs that you will be humming under your breath for days.
