Amadeus

Based on Peter Shaffer’s award-winning stage play. Boldly adapted by Joe Barton (Black Doves, Giri/Haji, The Lazarus Project). This spectacular five-part reimagination explores the meteoric rise and mythic downfall of one of history’s most iconic composers. He was a rockstar virtuoso of the 18th century, Wolfgang ‘Amadeus’ Mozart.

When twenty-five-year-old Amadeus arrives in bustling 18th-century Vienna, no longer a child prodigy and craving creative freedom, 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 despite his personal demons, a questionable reputation and scepticism from the conservative court, Salieri becomes increasingly tormented by this apparent divine gift.

Amadeus is a threat to all that he holds dear in life, his talent, his reputation, even his faith in God. Consequently, Salieri vows to bring him down. What begins as professional rivalry turns into a deeply personal obsession spanning 30 years. This culminates in a murder confession and a desperate attempt to entwine himself with Mozart’s legacy forever.
