Extraordinary musical genius, child prodigy, and socially awkward eccentric, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an enormously prolific and influential composer. He remains one of the greatest and most-popular composers of all time, 230 years after his death under mysterious circumstances at the age of 35.
What caused his death has remained a mystery to this day. Was it a sudden, strange and still-undiagnosed illness? The result of years of poor health? A single badly cooked porkchop?
Or was it murder?
In her new play, âMagdalena,â Cape Cod playwright June Calender puts forth her own ideas about what happened to Mozart and who might have been involved.
