Playing the cello for 11 years and remembering the movie Amadeus are the only recollections I have of anything Mozart. Now that's all going to change thanks to a new project called Mozart Reimagined – Photography book by Tyson Vick.
Mozart Reimagined brings a fresh new perspective to the operas of renowned classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Nearly one hundred photographs by artist Tyson Vick illustrate scenes from each and every one of Mozart's theatrical works. Every image is lushly costumed and gorgeously staged, vividly bringing the stories and music of Mozart to life.
Mozart Reimagined promises to be the most informative, humorous and entertaining book you will find about Mozart! Whether you love opera, hate opera or don't know a thing about opera, you will be positively yearning to listen to a Mozart opera after reading Mozart Reimagined. – kickstarter.com

For some reason I'm in a big art kick this week, maybe buying some early Christmas presents for myself. $10, $45, or $90 looks like a good start and money well spent for a good cause. And it's pretty easy to justify. One less drink a week for a month or so and there you have it.
Have you given to any Kickstarters before? Will you for this one?
