Aimie Atkinson steps into the lead role of Saving Mozart, a new musical by Charli Eglington opening at London’s The Other Palace this July.
Child prodigy. Musical rebel. Outcast. Icon. Step into the mind of a genius—and meet the extraordinary women who shaped, challenged, and ultimately saved him.
Inspired by Nannerl, the sister who played before he did. Driven by Leopold, the father who demanded perfection. Resurrected by Constanze, the wife who refused to let the world forget. Shunned by society. Fuelled by brilliance. This is the Mozart you’ve never met—raw, human, electric. Saving Mozart is a bold new musical based on a powerful true story of passion, defiance, and music that refused to die.
Atkinson plays Nannerl, with Jack Chambers as Mozart, Erin Caldwell as Constanze, Jordan Luke Gage as Salieri and Douglas Hansell as Leopold.
They are joined by an ensemble cast featuring Sveva Bartolini, Harriette Benazir-White, Corey Mitchell and Alfie Simmons.
The creative team includes writer and composer Charli Eglinton, director Markus Olzinger, choreographer Taylor Walker, costume designer Julia Pschedezki, set design Justin Williams, lighting design Ben Jacobs and casting director Ben Armstrong.
From MCG Productions, the production celebrated its world premiere earlier this year in Gmunden, Austria – just outside Mozart’s birthplace – in association with Musical Frühling in Gmunden.
Saving Mozart plays at The Other Palace from July 28 – August 30, 2025. Tickets here.
