Presented by Circa, GWB Entertainment and Trafalgar Entertainment

Straight from the score and onto the stage, the man known as Mozart appears amid a storm of powder, tumbling and twirling, as musical mayhem and movement fuse in this family show with a circus twist.

To those who know him, he is Wolfgang, the dart-playing ratbag. To those who are watching and listening, he is the wigged genius Mozart. Come and discover his irrepressible spirit and vibrant compositions through physical comedy and mischievous antics.

Designed to amaze people from the age of three and upwards, Wolfgang’s Magical Musical Circus reinvents the composer’s magical music in a skilful and illuminating show featuring Circa’s dexterous daredevil artists and a live accordionist. Watch as the notes are physically lifted off the page as performers bring the renowned compositions to life amidst a storm of powder, tumbles and crashes, all under the eccentric swirl of the conductor’s baton.

All persons under 15 must be accompanied by an adult whilst at the Venue. This includes all bar areas and dining rooms where alcohol is served. Proof of age may be required by the Venue.

World-class acrobatics bring to this musical fantasia the high wow factor we’ve come to expect, with the direction tailoring the spectacle into elegantly orchestrated hilarity, performed with an infectious sense of joy.
Sydney Morning Herald
The show is gilded with comedy that had all ages laughing with raucous enthusiasm, and the music keeps the carousel turning at a frenetic pace.
Brisbane Times, Australia
. . . manic and magical.
The Guardian, UK
“Whether it’s through acrobatics, aerial work or hula hooping, you know you’ll see beauty and strength in equal measure . . . A great introduction to contemporary circus, and Mozart, for younger audiences."
The List, UK
