1809 one evening in late autumn, three figures appeared in the dark cemetery in San Marcos, namely Dr. Anton Mesmer, the master and servant, and Constance Nissen, the widow of Mozart. Max acquiesced in the promise of high pay, and constance promised to take them to Mozart's grave. Pity the genius behind him, there is no tombstone and no cross. After some twists and turns, they finally reached their destination. What a magical place! The magic of music immediately brought the doctor back to the concert in Baroque Garden in Vienna forty years ago. ...
With the wonderful music, time goes back to 1768, and Vienna is crazy about a little boy named Ahmad. This is a musical prodigy who can play the piano at the age of three and start composing music at the age of five, and will never forget any melody! The child's father is Salzburg conductor Leopold Mozart. Now, he proudly shows off his son's genius in front of famous people in Vienna. On the one hand, the boy's sister Nana silently assisted. In fact, she was once a prodigy who surprised the audience, but her brother's dazzling light covered up her genius early. It seems that this girl doesn't mind at all and is willing to accompany her brother as the most considerate sister and the most loyal admirer. But now, our protagonist seems to be uncooperative and looks more and more listless. Nana found him ill. Leopold refused to believe and stubbornly believed that genius would not get sick. He was just playing with a small temper and should learn a good lesson!
At this time, a lady dismissed Amata. She warned Leopold not to push the children too hard. Amata found a mysterious little box in the garden. Thanks to her orders, the little boy was able to keep this treasure. Baroness von Walter Stein later became Mozart's mentor when he went to Vienna alone.
Time flies, nine years have passed, and prodigies have grown up. This young man, Wolfgang, is now a court musician in Salzburg. He excitedly showed his sister his newly bought red coat, which is the same style and color as the small coat he wore when he traveled to Europe. Nana immediately remembered the dress given by Her Majesty the Queen: "Velvet satin, inlaid with gold and jade! Such clothes are not suitable for everyone. Put it on and the whole world will pay attention to you. You are a real prince, forever and ever. " Wolfgang hopes to travel around the world in it as he did when he was a child. He wants to create a new world. Salzburg is really breathtaking! The brother and sister were chatting excitedly when their father came in. Leopold was very dissatisfied when he saw his son dressed inappropriately, not to mention the money he won by gambling! He asked the prince if the song he wanted was ready, and Wolfgang replied, "Yes. It's in my head, but I haven't written it down yet. " Leopold was so angry that he ordered Nana to return the clothes at once. Wolfgang said, "You compose music for me!" "
There is only one Mozart left on the stage ... no, there are two! Wolfgang and Amata. Throughout the play, Amata followed Wolfgang like a shadow. The latter is Mozart's "man" and the former is Mozart's "spirit". Of course, no one can see him except Wolfgang. When beautiful music flowed from Amata's fingertips, Wolfgang was trying to suppress his resentment against his father. Should such a father be respected or hated? Finally, Wolfgang asked himself, "can he stop interfering in everything I do?" Why doesn't he let me live freely? "
In the Salzburg market, Nana proudly described her brother's trip to the vendors. But the appearance of Count Acoro ruthlessly shattered her fantasy. He told Nana that Wolfgang couldn't find a job at all now and would soon regret having offended the prince. Pedestrians on the roadside also seem to be talking about: "The prodigy of the past ... Mozart! Now I am homeless ... Mozart! "
Although Leopold stayed at home, his heart was always attached to his distant son. He hated himself and let his son go regardless of the danger outside. This is a world full of lies, betrayal, deception and depravity, full of flatterers, parasites and hypocrites. It's hard to imagine how this simple child can live without his own umbrella! He can only hope that Wolfgang will be strong enough to resist the temptation of the outside world and protect himself from harm. "You must learn to be smart and witty. Never trust the gentleness of a poisonous snake or the loyalty of a jackal. Always appreciate the help you get. Be sure to restrain your excitement and keep a clear head. Let others need you and love you. This is a good son worthy of my pride! "
Unfortunately, it soon proved that my father was not worried. In Mannheim, there lived the infamous Weber family, the scheming and brazen widow Cecilia Weber and her four idle daughters. Now, Mrs. Webb is worried: no one will borrow money. What should I do? "Decent people are having a hard time. Diligence and courtesy are not enough to support the family. I can only count on one person to help us out of this dilemma. " Mrs Webb's "good friend" Fridolin hurriedly reported the good news: Mozart, a musical prodigy, has come, but he is the god of wealth! So, Mrs Webb sent her daughter Araucia, who is quite talented in music. As a result, Wolfgang fell in love with young and beautiful Araucia with an angelic voice at first sight, willingly gave his hard-earned money to the Weber family to squander, and promised to make Araucia the lead soprano. Soon, Leopold learned about the relationship between Wolfgang and Araucia, and the most worrying thing happened. He prayed to God to save his son. After careful consideration, Leopold ordered Wolfgang to go to Paris at once, just the two of them! Break them up, and the problem should be solved, right? Unexpectedly, although Wolfgang obeyed his father's orders and left Mannheim, he was carried away by love. In order not to lose Araucia, he sent all his income, including the money his father remitted from Salzburg, to the Weber family, while he and his mother struggled in poverty ... Soon after, Mrs. Mozart died of poverty and disease.
The desperate Wolfgang bitterly rebuked this heartless world, what a cruel life, what a strange world! When you fall into the dark sea, where can you seek hope? Yesterday was a baby, today turned into grass. I thought there was love everywhere, but it turned out to be a person! Wolfgang's trip to Europe ended in complete failure. He returned to Salzburg with heavy debts and was once again employed by the Archbishop of Colorado. The servants who approached the palace were jealous of Mozart, and now they took the opportunity to humiliate him. Emmanuel Schickner's troupe came to this town to perform, and he was very happy with the enthusiasm of the audience in the pub. In order to keep his son, Leopold took out many bills, which were all caused by his staying in Paris. Wolfgang must stay in Salzburg and work hard to pay off these debts. At this time, Baroness von Walter Stein visited, and she hoped to take Wolfgang to Vienna. Leopold certainly disagreed. So the baroness told a story: a long time ago, there was a king and his son who lived in a magic garden. The old king was depressed about the world. In order to prevent his son from being hurt, he ordered to build a high wall and lock the palace door all day. The king thinks there is no place like this paradise, but the prince always hears a voice in his heart saying to him, "Get out!" " There is a place where no one has been, and gold will fall from the stars at night. If you want to get the gold on the stars, you have to throw yourself into the danger outside alone. The king warned his son, "Go out, and you will get a good beating like me." Stay in our magic garden, this high wall, this locked palace door, all to protect you. "Every word in my father's words is full of love, but the prince's inner desire says to him," Sometimes love means letting go when it's time to let go; "Sometimes love means being willing to give up what you love. Love should be able to say with tears:' In a faraway place, gold fell from the stars. "Leave home, go into danger, and look for gold on that star!" "
It's a pity that our "king" didn't drink this "chicken soup for the soul". This time, he made up his mind, and Nana also advised his brother. Wolfgang had to stay for a while and wait for a better opportunity. A few months later, the second chance came. Colorado was going to Vienna, and he ordered Wolfgang to go with him. Despite the opposition of Count Acoro, Wolfgang finally entered the archbishop's entourage. Shortly after arriving in Vienna, he met the Weber family who moved from Mannheim to Vienna. Although Aloisia is a woman, this time Wolfgang is infatuated with constance, Mrs Webb's other daughter. Mrs Weber took this opportunity to persuade Wolfgang to move in with them.
Realizing that Wolfgang would never come back, Leopold was furious. He threw his "child prodigy" notebook into the Sal River. Nana tried to comfort her father, but it was useless. Leopold decided to give up this black sheep. Now, Nana is the only one left on the stage, thinking of her dear brother and lamenting the failure of her childhood dreams. Wolfgang can follow his genius to pursue his ideal, but she will always be bound by responsibility. Now a daughter, about to become a good wife and mother.
Colorado promised to introduce Wolfgang to the emperor, but he broke his word and ordered Wolfgang to return to Salzburg immediately. Angry Wolfgang quarreled with the archbishop again, and the result was naturally the same as last time ... Wolfgang was free again, but he realized with horror that he could never be really free. His "genius" is Amata, who has been following him closely and consuming his energy more and more arrogantly. That "elf" has now become a demon! Wolfgang was destined to be his slave and could not resist.

Act ii
San Marcos cemetery. While ordering his servant to dig the grave, Dr. Mesmer asked constance what was the difference between this musical genius and ordinary people. Constance tried to avoid these questions.
Back to 187 1 year. After a concert, there was an argument between Mozart's supporters and critics. Some people praise talented musicians, while others think it's just a fashionable trick. However, the two sides reached a consensus on one point: it is far from enough to stand in Vienna and rely solely on real talents and learning. More importantly, you must be able to play tricks. What kind of place is Vienna? Here, those who salute you politely may have sharp daggers hidden behind them!
By this time, Wolfgang had left Weber's home, but his love for constance was growing day by day. Similarly, the girl has not forgotten him. On this day, constance came unexpectedly, and the chaotic family environment disgusted her. She is willing to entrust her life to this innocent young man. Wolfgang was overjoyed: "You are an angel in my mind, so proud and strong even when you cry.". I don't know which star in the night sky fell into my dream. You know the real me, because your eyes can look directly at my soul. My feelings for you will never change. Knowing each other and loving each other, you and I are dependent. Ever since I met you, I knew this life belonged to me. I don't want to be your master, I just want to shelter you from the wind and rain. How I wish I could get along with you day and night. " Just as the young couple embraced, Mrs Weber and her new "partner" broke into the house ... As a result, Wolfgang was forced to sign an agreement, promising to marry constance immediately or pay lifelong compensation. Constance was outraged to see that her mother actually used herself as a blackmail tool. She stole the contract quietly and tore it to pieces in front of Wolfgang.
One night, Wolfgang dreamed that he was at a masked ball. Watching the masked guests pass by, Wolfgang couldn't guess which one was himself. Suddenly, he saw his father! He hoped to get his father's help, but Leopold only left a curse: "I gave you everything. How can you repay me?" ? No matter what kind of success you can achieve in the future, there is one thing that you will never get in this life, and that is happiness! "After waking up from a nightmare, Wolfgang asked the baroness for advice. The baroness told him to get rid of his dependence on his father as soon as possible, and to learn to think independently and grow independently.
At this time, Nana also found a home for her feelings, but the other family was poor. Of course, Leopold doesn't agree to this marriage unless she can raise the dowry herself. Nana had to write to her brother for help. Wolfgang took the money and intended to send it to her, but he was caught by a group of friends. They got him drunk and cheated all the money from the gambling table.
It was another all-night dance, and constance, who was drunk, returned to his apartment. Look at this "kennel", it's so cute! They say housewives should never stop doing housework. Okay, don't even start. She recalled last night's happiness: dancing and spinning wildly, letting champagne stir in her blood, and roses blooming in her hair. It was a fairy tale day. In her opinion, losing such fun will be the greatest regret in life.
Wolfgang achieved great success and enjoyed wealth and glory. If he can reconcile with his father, his life will be perfect. After years of stalemate, Leopold took the initiative to visit his son in Vienna. At first, Leopold was very happy to see his son's great achievements, but he soon realized that Wolfgang no longer needed his own guidance, which was extremely frustrating. Wolfgang tried to comfort him several times, but in vain. On this day, Wolfgang gave Leopold a gift, that is, the small box that he had brought with him since he was a child. Leopold opened the box and found it full of money! Wolfgang's original intention was to let his father use the money to redeem his freedom. He no longer had to be subject to the Bishop of Colorado, but Leopold completely misunderstood! "What you owe me can't be paid off with money!" He growled, threw the gift at Wolfgang's feet and ran out angrily.
Wolfgang failed to catch up with his father, and the last chance to explain was lost. He was very sad. Why can't his father understand him? As an artist, he must go his own way and have no choice. However, without his father's approval, he could not really enjoy the joy of success. Unexpectedly, a father-son relationship ended in such a serious misunderstanding that Wolfgang almost collapsed. Amata takes advantage of her weakest moment to attack, because Wolfgang's attitude now sometimes makes prodigies angry.
The Archbishop of Colorado has not forgotten his court musicians. On the contrary, he is now impressed by Mozart's music. He called Leopold and asked him if he had conveyed the new appointment of the Salzburg court to Wolfgang. Leopold advised him to forget Wolfgang completely and promised to cultivate a better musical prodigy. But this proposal was immediately rejected. When Leopold was sent away, Colorado, which was extremely lost, began to question God: Why were the things he cherished all his life, such as reason, logic and science, defeated by something inexplicable and almost absurd, the magic of music!
After a series of disappointments, Wolfgang realized in dismay that those friends were right and Vienna didn't like real talents. Although the spring breeze is gone, he still has enough income. Oddly, with his income, he often makes ends meet. It's Cecilia! She became more and more greedy and even asked her son-in-law to ask friends and sponsors for money. Wolfgang gradually matured in humiliation. Just when he finally had the courage to refuse the unreasonable demands of the Weber family, the news of his father's death came from Salzburg!
At St. Stephen's Cathedral, Wolfgang said his last farewell to his father, but what he said was not like a eulogy, it was simply a accusation! He knew that his father would never suffer less than himself in these years. "God's miracles are not free", "prodigy"? Who knows whether it is a blessing or a curse? After the funeral, Wolfgang was about to leave the church when a masked man stopped him and entrusted him to write a requiem for an unknown person.
1789 In July, the news of the French Revolution came, which also aroused the excitement of the citizens of Vienna: "Only by standing up straight can you be a man, and dogs are willing to lie at their owners' feet. If you have freedom, you should break the chain! " A nobleman was very dissatisfied: "you ungrateful people!" " Our old king, he guides everyone to protect everyone, he is like the father of the people! "Wolfgang immediately replied:" An adult child no longer needs a father! "... Emmanuel Schickner hurried over to warn his friends, don't be impulsive, it is unwise to talk about politics. "Don't forget, we artists can express our views in more ingenious ways. "Back to the theater garden, Hickner handed Wolfgang the script of Magic Flute that he had just finished writing, and Ahmad immediately came and took it. Schickner begged Mozart to write the most beautiful and unforgettable melody for the play, which was his chance to become famous in one fell swoop. He also found an actress to "inspire" the composer. When Wolfgang disappeared into the room with a beauty under his arm, Amata sat on the roof and wrote a song leisurely. As night falls, the characters in the magic flute appear in the garden one by one.
The premiere of The Magic Flute was an unprecedented success. Enthusiastic audiences gathered outside the theater screaming and scrambling to snap up statues of prodigies and adult musicians. The worshippers climbed onto the roof of the theater. In the silent night sky, beautiful carols rang gently, and the songs became louder and louder, indicating the worship of musicians by future generations.
But Wolfgang can't enjoy this new glory. He realized that he was terminally ill, as if he had been poisoned He lay dying in bed with a high fever, while Amata sat on the edge of the bed, shaking her feet and writing requiem with rapt attention. After a while, Amata's ink bottle dried up. As usual, he pricked Wolfgang's arm and replaced the ink with blood. Wolfgang begged his doppelganger for mercy, but Amata wouldn't listen. Finally, perhaps thinking that the "ink" was not smooth enough, he grabbed the quill pen and stabbed Wolfgang directly in the heart. ...
Integration of time and space. On the one hand, all the characters in Wolfgang's life came out of the darkness, around the dead, telling the meaning of life and asking how to get rid of the bondage of fate. On the other hand, in the cemetery of San Marcos, Dr. Mesmer was holding the skull of a genius and admiring the perfect sculpture of God. Nana found the mysterious little box. Opening the lid of the box, a sweet little song sounded, reminding her of the brilliant "child prodigy era" ...
