The new Sky Original series will look into the alleged rivalry between the two young composers Mozart and Salieri<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>

‘Recently unemployed and without the management of his father, Amadeus finds an unlikely ally in a young singer who will become his wife, fiery Constanze Weber Mozart,’ a statement from the producer reads. ‘Her connections help bring him into the orbit of the court composer Antonio Salieri, setting the three of them on a collision course that will ultimately define their lives and their legacies for years to come.’<\/p>
