Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus

Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus (1756–91),
Austrian composer. Mozart did not set any Shakespeare himself. However, the music from his opera Così fan tutte was reworked by Delibes and Prosper Pascal into a version of Love's Labour's Lost entitled Peines d'amour perdues!, which was first performed in Paris in 1863. He was contemplating an opera based on The Tempest at the end of his life.
