What happened to Mozart’s wife?

Mozart’s wife was Maria Constanze Cäcilia Josepha Johanna Aloysia Mozart (née Weber; 5 January 1762 – 6 March 1842). She was a trained Austrian singer and was married twice, first to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and then to Georg Nikolaus von Nissen.

She and Mozart had six children, of which only two survived to adulthood: Karl Thomas Mozart and Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart. Constanze became Mozart’s biographer jointly with her second husband.

In Milan, Mozart wrote the opera Mitridate, re di Ponto (1770). From 1782 to 1785 Mozart mounted concerts with himself as a soloist, presenting three or four new piano concertos in each season.

In 1781, Mozart moved to Vienna, where he achieved great success as a composer and performer. Mozart’s music is known for its beauty, complexity, and emotional depth.

Mozart’s most famous works include the operas “The Marriage of Figaro” (1786), “Don Giovanni” (1787), and “The Magic Flute” (1791).

Mozart also composed many symphonies, including the “Jupiter Symphony” (1788), and chamber music, such as the “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” (1787).
