What to Expect Inside
Your visit takes you through five immersive “experience rooms”, each with its own mood and narrative:
-
Requiem – Mozart’s Death: A contemplative, candle-like space filled with music from the Requiem,
thousands of subtle light points, and an intimate atmosphere that recalls Mozart’s final hours.
-
Vienna 1791 – Mozart’s City: A 360° cityscape where projections and soundscapes recreate the Vienna
that Mozart knew—its streets, rooftops, churches, and theatres.
-
World Music – A Little Night Music: An interactive sound experience that blends Mozart’s melodies
with instruments and influences from around the world, inviting you to “play along” with motion or touch.
-
Genius – Mozart the Composer: A visual and acoustic interpretation of Mozart’s creativity,
where music, light patterns and subtle effects evoke his imagination and working process.
-
The Magic Flute – Mozart Forever: A finale of dynamic projections inspired by The Magic Flute,
combining iconic themes with modern digital art to show how Mozart still resonates today.
Throughout the experience, original recordings, specially created sound design, and carefully staged lighting
transform the rooms into a series of scenes you move through at your own pace.
