Mozart’s Mic Drop

This event has passed.

Bring the world’s original pop star to your school with a high-energy journey through the revolutionary music of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Performed by four opera singers and a pianist, this interactive program peels back the powdered wig to reveal a freelance rebel whose “mic drop” moments mirror the social struggles and complex emotions of today’s students. Through live performance and visual media, your classroom will explore how eighteenth-century drama connects directly to contemporary life and social-emotional learning. While the costumes have changed, the drama remains timeless.
