Genius and jealousy collide in the opulent salons and opera houses of 18th-century Vienna. When an impulsive and eccentric prodigy outshines an envious, God-fearing composer consumed by bitterness, theatrical fireworks emerge. Salieri will do everything in his power to destroy his musical rival - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Featuring Ian Merrill Peakes as Salieri.
