At his apartment in Domgasse 5, Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart
lived for some happy and prolific years from 1784 to 1787
composing "The Impesario" and "The Marriage
of Figaro" and other major works. In no other flat the
famous composer lived for that long, a sure sign of his attachment
to the house.
The house
was reopened after extensive renovations on January 27th,
2006 - the exact date of the 250th
anniversary.
The exhibition includes information
on Mozart's musical genius, his family life, his friends and
opponents in contemporary Vienna. You will also have a chance
to listen to various Mozart melodies and to get to know his
musical Oeuvre.
His spacious flat was located on the
first floor. It can be visited and allows for insights into
the daily life of one of a musical genius.
Second floor is dedicated to Mozart's operas and introduced
the visitor to his oeuvre. Third floor features a collection
on life in baroque Vienna. Mozart's friends and foes are presented
and his actions in Vienna illustrated.
Mozarthaus Vienna is the only Mozart
flat which has been preserved.
