In love and the father of a young son, Mozart's career is advancing nicely, the commissions keep flowing in and famous singers knock on his door . . . until new menaces cast a shadow over his future. Menace from the powers-that-be, who fear the influence of the Masonic Lodges and put them under police surveillance; Menace too from jealous musicians - such as Salieri, who makes an attempt to sabotage Mozart's concerts.
