Vienna Mozart Film Festival: Bratislava-Zagreb

In the course of its tour through central and eastern Europe the Vienna open air Music Film Festival made a stop in Bratislava and ended in Zagreb.

Mozart travelling through Europe

For more than one week music by the unforgettable genius captivated thousands of viewers on Bratislava’s main square in the old city. From a very early age Wolfgang “Amadé” Mozart was a much-travelled artist. As part of the Vienna Mozart Year 2006 the open air Film Festival, following the system successfully applied in front of Vienna City Hall, set out on a tour of nine central and east European cities. The Festival, which started in June in Brno, came to a festive closure on October 1st in Zagreb.

Mozart Year as a contribution towards better musical understanding

“Hopefully the Vienna Mozart Music Film Festival 2006 will contribute towards overcoming initial mistrust and awaken enthusiasm for Mozart’s music”, said Peter Marboe, director of the Vienna Mozart Year 2006, when solemnly opening the Festival on the main square in Bratislava’s old city.
