About the Production

“Little Amadeus” is a lyrical and musical production that tells the story about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was a child prodigy, and grew up to be a genius composer.

When he was three, Mozart has already played the piano, and when he was five he composed his first musical piece. Yet, most of all, little Amadeus wants to be a normal child and play outside.

The play is beautifully set and performed by Gadit Cohen: an actress portraying all the characters, using puppets, finger puppets as well as large hats and wigs. Another benefit of the production is that children are exposed to many of Mozart’s musical pieces.

Gadit takes us to an amazing visual and emotional journey by creating magical moments using the best the theatre can offer. With her unique talent, Gadit tells a story which is both inteligent and entertaining.
