Description
Fanny Mendelssohn's story is one of music, family, and perseverance. Born into a musical family, Fanny was overshadowed by her brother Felix, who achieved great success as a composer. However, it was Fanny who composed the famous piece "Italien", which was published under Felix's name. In this joyful and irreverent comedy, Calum Finlay brings to life the remarkable true story of Fanny Mendelssohn. With wit and charm, he celebrates her determination to be heard and her ultimate triumph over adversity. The play premiered at the Watermill Theatre in Newbury in 2024, marking a long-overdue recognition of Fanny's contributions to music. By exploring Fanny's remarkable life, Finlay sheds light on a fascinating period in musical history and highlights the importance of female composers. This is a story that will leave you smiling and inspired by the power of music and the human spirit.
