All three versions cast Mozart as a rebellious musical genius causing chaos in the highest circles of 18th century Viennese society...

Set when Mozart was 25, the mini-series captures the time he arrives at court and encounters conservative and devout court composer Antonio Salieri. Amadeus has a talent readily accepted by all as a divine gift but behaves with irreverence and enjoys a scandalous private life.
It is too much for the Salieri who is drawn into a rivalry that crosses over from professional to personal as the younger man challenges all that is important to him, including his reputation and the affections of both the Emperor and the public. Turning his back on his faith, he sets out to destroy Mozart.

'Amadeus' - FAQ
Miloš Forman's 1984 movie "Amadeus" was also based on Peter Shaffer's play. How was it received?
Depends upon your perspective. In terms of awards, it won eight Oscars, four BAFTAs and four Golden Globes and introduced a new generation to the music of Mozart (the soundtrack sold 6.5 million copies). Purists, however, were unsettled by the new, rock & roll reputation the composer acquired.
