Along the way, in each room, some thirty musicians, actors and dancers will immerse you in eight scenographic tableaux and seventeen works, inviting you to take the helm of an orchestra or take part in a Baroque ball in an 18th-century wig! An innovative experience combining live performances and recordings that will appeal to classical music fans, the curious and families alike, for almost an hour and a half.

Rediscover Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the child prodigy and precocious composer, one of the most influential in history, in a contemporary tribute imagined by Michel Eli, Nathalie Spinozi and Mourad Merzouki. All set in a superb Cistercian monastery, with captivating staging on every floor for the occasion!

Our review:

If you love classical music, this theatrical journey should appeal to you. Conceived as a stroll through the works and life of Mozart, it offers an opportunity to (re)discover his most famous compositions - from The Marriage of Figaro to The Magic Flute - in the exceptional setting of the Collège des Bernardins.

For 1h15, spectators move from room to room, each stage offering a surprise, supported by actors in costume and a participative staging. Although the show is presented as immersive, it is not, strictly speaking, a historical reconstruction. Rather, it's a collective game in which everyone is invited to take part in the action, without being plunged into an 18th century recreated in minute detail.

It's a lively, accessible experience, ideal for the whole family, which allows us to rediscover Mozart from an original angle, combining theater, music and interaction, without pretending to the total illusion of the past.
