A musical-true-crime mystery uncovering Maria-Anna Mozart, the forgotten prodigy and possible secret composer behind her brother’s genius.
Mozart’s Sister unravels the mystery of Maria-Anna Mozart, Wolfgang’s gifted elder sister — once a celebrated prodigy, silenced at sixteen for being a woman. Through forensic musicology and intimate storytelling, this gripping documentary explores the lost legacy of a forgotten genius and asks: whose music was history really hearing?
Rialto Recommends: Mozart’s Sister. A riveting blend of art, mystery, and justice, Mozart’s Sister reframes a familiar genius through the eyes of the woman erased beside him. With elegance and investigative flair, it challenges centuries of silence to let a hidden composer finally be heard.
