Casa Mozart

TRAME / CASA MOZART

In January 1770 the Counts of Arco welcomed a very young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart into their residence, on tour with his father Leopold on his first Italian trip. The halls of this magnificent palace still evoke the atmosphere that the two musicians breathed when, on the occasion of the tour that changed the life of little Mozart and put him in contact with the Italian music of his time, Wolfgang’s genius was admired by all the Mantuan people at the Bibiena Theater, which had been open for just over a month and which Mozart practically baptized. To pay homage to the great composer, during Trame Sonore, Palazzo d’Arco has always become the “Mozart House”.
For the concerts of this cycle, the artists have chosen both Mozart’s repertoire and those of his contemporary composers, performing it with modern or period instruments, in duo, trio, quartet, quintet, ranging from fortepiano to clarinet. For eighteenth-century enthusiasts who want to live for an hour like the Conti d’Arco, hosting in their halls the best of European music of their time, Mozart House is an essential step of the experience at Trame Sonore.
