Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a rowdy young prodigy, arrives in Vienna determined to make a splash. Awestruck by his genius and seized by obsessive jealousy, court composer Antonio Salieri begins a war with Mozart, with music, and ultimately, with God. Peter Shaffer’s iconic play features a live orchestral accompaniment by Southbank Sinfonia. Filmed live at the National Theatre's Olivier Theatre in 2017.
