Paul Bettany and Will Sharp in the Sky Original limited series
Even icons and legends fall from grace at one time. In December, Sky will bring Amadeus. Today we get a glimpse at the limited series teaser Trailer, the original rockstar virtuoso Wolfgang ‘Amadeus’ Mozart.
Based on Peter Shaffer’s award-winning stage play, Amadeus is a five part series about the meteoric rise and mythic downfall of one of history’s most iconic composers Mozart.
Adapted by Joe Barton (Black Doves, Giri/Haji) Starring Will Sharpe (Giri/Haji, The White Lotus) as musical prodigy Wolfgang ‘Amadeus’ Mozart, Paul Bettany (WandaVision) as envious court composer Antonio Salieri, and Gabrielle Creevy (Black Doves) as Constanze Weber, Mozart’s fiercely loyal wife.
The stellar cast lineup also includes Rory Kinnear (Skyfall) as Emperor Joseph, Lucy Cohu (Becoming Jane) as Cecilia Weber, Jonathan Aris (The Sixth Commandment) as Leopold Mozart, Ényì Okoronkwo (The Lazarus Project) as Da Ponte, Jessica Alexander (The Little Mermaid) as Katerina, Hugh Sachs (Bridgerton) as Von Strack, Paul Bazely (Such Brave Girls) as Von Swieten, Rupert Vansittart (Game of Thrones) as Rosenberg, Anastasia Martin (In From The Cold) as Aloysia Weber, Nancy Farino (Masters of the Air) as Josepha Weber, Olivia-Mai Barrett (Invasion) as Sophie Weber and Viola Prettejohn (The Crown) as Princess Elizabeth and Jyuddah Jaymes (The Boys in The Boat) as Franz Süssmayr.
When 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. As Amadeus’ brilliance continues to flourish in spite of his personal demons, a questionable reputation and scepticism from the conservative court, Salieri becomes increasingly tormented by this apparent divine gift. Amadeus is a threat to all that he holds dear in life: his talent, his reputation, even his faith in God, Salieri vows to bring him down. What begins as professional rivalry turns into a deeply personal obsession spanning 30 years, culminating in a murder confession and a desperate attempt to entwine himself with Mozart’s legacy forever.
Amadeus will launch on Sky and streaming service NOW this December.
