Pleased to share that Mozart: Genius for Hire airs Tuesday 16 December on Sky Arts at 9pm. Great to work on this production in the scripting and research process and on the shoots.
At times taking a brief moment to stand back in awe, being the room watching performances by musicians Cyrill Ibrahim, Danielle de Niese and Gil Shaham thinking, wow I am here, doing what I love doing - music, arts and documentary.
Directed by @Dhivya KateChetty
Executive Producers @Sabina EmritHarper and David Harewood, @Section 52 Films
Commissioning Editor Benedetta Pinelli
Production Manager @BhavnaWeeks
Mozart: Genius for Hire, produced by Section 52 Films (Dickens: Phantoms and Fictions, David Harewood: Dickens in Italy) for Sky Arts, tells the story of one of the world’s most iconic classical musicians breaking free from the constraints of court employment to embrace a risky life as a pioneering freelancer.
Through historical analysis of Mozart’s commissions, expert interviews with contributors including John Suchet OBE, Annilese Miskimmon, and Professor Simon Keefe, alongside dramatic readings of his letters from actor Matthew Broome (as Mozart) and David Harewood (as his father, Leopold), the film reveals the evolution of Mozart’s talent and battle for financial stability in the pursuit of artistic freedom.
As part of Sky Arts’ Mozart Season alongside Mozart’s Sister (18 Dec), Mozart’s Women: A Musical Journey (19 Dec) and Sky Originals limited drama series Amadeus (21 Dec).
