该剧改编自彼得·谢弗的经典剧作《上帝的宠儿》。
25岁的沃尔夫冈·阿玛多伊斯·莫扎特（福田知盛 饰）在父亲去世后失去生计，孤身前往维也纳谋生。一次偶然，他与才华横溢的女歌手康斯坦泽·韦伯（加布瑞拉·克里维 饰）结为盟友，后者凭借人脉将其引荐至宫廷作曲家安东尼奥·萨列里（保罗·贝坦尼 饰）的权贵圈层。原本的机遇却逐渐演变为一场天才与野心、艺术与权力的终极博弈——两人的对立不仅重塑了彼此的人生轨迹，更在古典音乐史上刻下了一段纠缠半生的传奇宿怨。

When a group of college kids get together for a weekend of partying, they find themselves mixed up in a murderous plot. Having planned on a weekend of hard-core debauchery, the English students and their visiting American friends do not notice when a series of mindless murders and acts of terrorism are carried out around them.

Set in 18th-century Venice, the film follows the paths of two unlikely collaborators: a Venetian noble and a castrated singer from Calabria, both trying to succeed in the world of the opera.
