John Cleese as Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was a world famous Austrian composer, best known for works such as "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik", "The Magic Flute", "Don Giovanni", and "The Marriage Of Figaro."

John Cleese portrays him in the sketch It's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart where he presents the TV shows "Famous Deaths".

Mozart, this time played by Michael Palin, later made a cameo in the sketch Archaeology Today, where his supposed son Colin "Chopper" Mozart goes ratcatching in the house of Ludwig van Beethoven.

He is also mentioned in Decomposing Composers.
