ABOUT THE SHOW

Berlin, 1828. A young woman spirals toward the heights of
musical greatness. Following her relentless dream of being the first
published female composer in modern Europe, Fanny Mendelssohn must ride the
razor's edge of German society torn by social strife, between her parents'
rigid expectations and her desperate need for music. "Ah but, there are
other parts of me want to speak these days."

As opportunistic men vulture about, eager to exploit the
Mendelssohn name and wealth, Fanny sets out on a fateful journey to claim her
divine gifts—and transform her life. 

“She brought music trailing from the stars, and so our
only proper tribute is music. Sad, triumphant, for dance or contemplation. Any
music, as long as it has Soul."
