...fascinating and irresistibly intelligent... Milo fills in the gaps with historical context, which she excels in making frighteningly real. This is not merely a world of rococo concert halls and ridiculously coiffed hair...what chance did a girl have? Milo endows her subject with an irrepressible spirit that makes you root for her and hope for a better outcome... Director Isaac Byrne milks the suspense throughout, heightening it with an ever-present musical underscoring. Real work by the Mozarts meld into original compositions by Nathan Davis and Phyllis Chen: The frenetic tremolo of a harpsichord becomes the fluttering of a fan; the breaking of strings accompanies Nannerl lacing into a constrictive corset. Magdalena Dąbrowska and Miodrag Guberinic have constructed this one killer installation that is both a costume and set piece... it is beautiful. The Other Mozart is full of surprises all the way to the end.
