Paris, France —Two great coffee capitals of Europe —Venice and Vienna —are merging together in another coffee drinking capital, Paris. The Mozart Mystery show being played out inside the vaulted walls of the historical College des Bernardins is an interactive show of music and dance dedicated to the master composer Mozart who was born in Salzburg but composed his best-known works in Vienna where he died. San Marco coffee, named for San Marco Place in Venice, is among the sponsors of the show.

San Marco, a premium Italian is the brainchild of the Segafredo Zanettii company. Composed of a blend of 100% Arabica coffee beans which are roasted —slowly — in the pure Italian barista tradition, San Marco offers a rich coffee tasting experience. Cof­fea ara­bi­ca is native to Ethiopia and through trade and colonization, it thrives in coffee-growing regions around the world. The houseof San Marco is hosting an interactive digital game revolving around Mozart on its French website with coffee and invitations to the show for lucky winners. Play here: https://sanmarco.fr/

Inside the Gothic walls of the College des Bernardins, some 17 masterpieces by Mozart — including the Magic Flute and Don Giovanni —accompanied by spectacular visual effects and performers in period costumes are being performed both live and recorded accompanied by interactive presentations. Founded in 1245, the Collège des Bernardins welcomed thousands of Cistercian monks from all over Europe and became an important center for the development of Western Christian thought.
