Mozart belongs to the whole world, a global star, a combination of genius and simplicity. The tragedy of his life, the number of works he left behind, the happiness he felt, and his death at a young age—there is a mystery here. He is modern and relevant, he is unique. Two hundred years after his death, Mozart has become an icon. Millions of records sold, fans all over the world, music that was ahead of its time. An innovator, a provocative artist, he died at the age of 35. He had a tragic fate, worthy of a rock star. To understand whether Mozart can be compared to pop stars, we need to go back to the moment when this child appeared in his cradle on January 27, 1756.
