Mozart auf der Reise nach Prag

In the golden autumn of 1787, a celebrated composer and his inquisitive wife set out from Vienna for Prague, intent on presenting his newest opera. Their journey unfolds in a bright yellow carriage, richly painted and adorned with delicate floral motifs, while their attire reflects the elegance of the era—his flamboyant coat and embroidered waistcoat, her light‑green, striped travel dress. The narrative captures the crisp countryside, rolling hills and dense woods that gradually swallow the road, creating a vivid backdrop for the couple’s trek.

Amid the scenery, the pair’s banter reveals Mozart’s quick wit and his wife’s sharp eye for detail. A spilled bottle of precious perfume sparks a playful exchange, turning a minor mishap into a moment of levity that brightens the otherwise arduous travel. As the forest deepens, their conversation drifts between music, nature, and gentle teasing, inviting listeners into a charming portrait of love, art, and the simple joys of an 18th‑century road adventure.
