Vienna, 1787. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, at the height of his powers but struggling financially, meets a serious and supremely confident teenager who wants to hire him as a teacher, Ludwig van Beethoven . This comic-drama imagines how the relationship between two of music’s towering geniuses (whom many scholars believe met in real life) might have evolved. Featuring some of the great works of each composer, as well as some brilliantly imagined ‘collaborations’, The Vienna Lessons shows how these two men, separated by temperament and age, nonetheless find in each other the unique bond only true visionaries can share.

The cast features Quentin Chisholm, Sandy Clancy, and Jesse Kodama. The creative team includes Jeremiah Bornfield (Original Music), Jessica Parks (Set Design), Jill Nagle (Lighting Design), Brian Snyder (Technical Director), Patricia E. Doherty (Costume Design), Nick Simone (Sound Design), Rose Riccardi (Production Stage Manager), and Ian Duhart (Assistant Stage Manager).
