Release date: 17 September 2023

Running time: 140 minutes

Coming from very humble beginnings in the 18th Century, Czech composer Josef Myslivecek (played by Vojtech Dyk, also a composer), charms his way into rich patronage, leading to a huge success in Italian opera. Largely forgotten today, this epic feature is a reminder of Myslivecek’s undoubted talent. Eventually he became a friend and mentor to a young Mozart (a scene stealing turn from the prodigious young musician Phillip Amadeus Hahn) and learning what true musical genius is. While the obvious touchstone is Milos Forman’s Oscar winning Amadeus, in shinning the spotlight on a little-known composer and the powerful women who helped him realise his potential, it also brings to mind recent release Chevalier. With flamboyant opera sequences performed by real life opera stars and opulent production design, this passionately delivered drama is a feast for the senses. Please note: There will be no ads or trailers, so please arrive promptly at the advertised start time.
