Mozartballs

Documentary which explores what Mozart symbolises in the modern age, featuring odd characters that embody his spirit, such as an astronaut who took a Mozart music score into space.

Lighthearted documentary which explores what Mozart symbolises in the modern age. It features curious characters that embody the spirit of Mozart – from an obsessed Swiss ex-schoolteacher to a pop musician in Oklahoma who believes that her body is actually inhabited by Mozart's spirit, from a computer genius in California whose software has created a 'new' Mozart cello concerto in less than one second to a piano-playing Austrian astronaut who carried a score of The Magic Flute into space.
