Based on the stage play by 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 — and rockstar virtuoso of the 18th century, Wolfgang ‘Amadeus’ Mozart.

Played by The White Lotus star Will Sharpe, 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.

But 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.
