For many years, Helga has felt a deep connection to the music and personality of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart. Unexpectedly, his era became tangible to her — not only through his music, but also through clothing, movement, and a way of life.

 

In 2017, Swiss tailor and artist Christian Tanner created a hand-sewn women’s collection in the style of the 1780s and 1790s. Helga became both the inspiration and the wearer of these garments. Through the transformation brought by the historical dress and the tall hairstyle crafted from her own hair, she experienced a magical closeness between past and present.

 

At historical soirées, dance events, and promenades, Mozart’s world came vividly to life. Helga felt a special bond with Maria Anna “Nannerl”, Mozart’s sister, whose talent and understanding of his music were truly extraordinary.

 

This experience also inspired the creation of her CD, dedicated not only to Nannerl but also to the unique relationship between the two siblings.
