Johann Sebastion Bach became increasingly blind towards the end of his life. Apparently, whilst suffering from seriously impaired vision, he dictated the scores of his final works and revisions to one of his colleagues to write for him. Maria Theresa von Paradis, 1759-1824, had an accident causing total blindness when she was just four years old. Born in Vienna, she was a friend of Mozart. She sang Opera at an early age, and composed a number of operas, and classical works, working entirely from memory and faultlessly dictating the scores, without the need for revisions.

There are other, more recent, 'classsical composers' who were also blind, but Bach and von Paradis are probably the most well known.

How can you become invisibel in real life?

As yet, you can't. There are teams working on metamaterials that might have the potential to make an invisibility cloak, but there's nothing known about that might make your body invisible. Of course, if you could become invisible you would also become blind.
