And that voice is angry. They’re women who’ve recently discovered the‘joys’(not) of being middle aged, menopausal and more or less invisible. And they want to shout about it.

From the producers of the international hit Sisi on SBS on Demand comes another iconic female figure for a global audience.
Fifteen years have passed since Maria Anna Mozart’s career as a “Wunderkind” alongside her brother Amadeus (Eren M. Güvercin) came to an end. None other than Maria Theresa–mother of Marie Antoinette–banished the young woman from the stage.
Now Maria Anna works from behind the scenes, while her brother claims the spotlight for himself. But after Amadeus is dismissed from the Salzburg court due to his wild and disrespectful behaviour, his sister faces an even worse fate: a forced marriage arranged by their father Leopold. To avert their mutual ruin, the siblings secretly flee to Vienna, hoping to secure Amadeus a new post at the court of Emperor Joseph II.
