WAM Festival Mozart

The Rovereto Mozart Festival started in 1987 in order to remember and enhance the presence of the composer from Salzburg in our area. Thus, the Festival fosters the knowledge of the places where Mozart himself played and stayed, and at the same time it promotes a careful artistic research that combines the history of music with the trends and influences of the contemporary production.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart came to Rovereto in 1760, invited by the Border Commissioner of the time, Giuseppe Nicolò Cristiani Rall. Mozart created a special bond with the town with his concert in St. Mark Church on 26 December 1760.
