Amadeus
In bustling 18th-century Vienna, 25-year-old Wolfgang ‘Amadeus’ Mozart arrives, eager to shed his child prodigy reputation and embrace creative freedom. By doing so, his world collides with two pivotal figures: his fiercely loyal future wife, Constanze Weber and devoutly religious court composer, Antonio Salieri. As Amadeus’ brilliance continues to flourish, he fights personal demons, a damaged reputation and sceptics within the conservative court – especially Salieri, who becomes increasingly tormented by Mozart’s seemingly divine gift, and vows to bring him down after seeing him as a threat to his own reputation. Based on Peter Shaffer’s award-winning stage play, this spectacular five-part story reimagines the meteoric rise and mythic downfall of one of history’s most iconic composers.
