Filming for the six-part ARD/ORF series Mozart/Mozart begins in spring 2025 in the Baltic region. The series highlights Maria Anna, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's older sister, who had similar musical ambitions but was forced to abandon them due to gender norms.

Stefanie Groiss-Horowitz (ORF Program Director) describes the show as modern, humorous, and aimed at a young, streaming-savvy audience. Showrunner Andreas Gutzeit notes that the series tells the untold story of Maria Anna, who fought for recognition despite the challenges she faced.

Alexander Bickel (Head of WDR Fiction) adds that the show reflects the vibrancy of Mozart's music and is expected to attract a broad audience.

Mozart/Mozart gives Maria Anna the spotlight she deserves, showing her struggle to save both her brother's career and her own. She takes on Wolfgang's role when his career falters, becoming entangled in royal intrigue, with Antonio Salieri falling for her along the way. Produced by Story House Pictures, the drama promises a wild, fast-paced narrative with plenty of music.
