Forever Your Constanze
The Faithfully Yours Mozart project is the first of its kind to place Constanze Weber, wife of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in a position where she has a voice that has not been tainted by misogynistic sexism, or a vulgar point of view that make her out to be a loose woman, a manipulator, or a ditzy dunce without an ounce of intelligence. In the following Sequels to Faithfully Yours Mozart, titled, Forever Your Constanze, the last seven years of Wolfgang and Constanze's marital relations are explored through the eyes of grief, illness, loss, disability, and most importantly love.
