Act 1
One evening in the late autumn of 1809, three figures appeared in the dim San Marcos Cemetery. They were: Dr. Anton Mesmer, his master and his servant. , and Mozart’s widow Constance Nissen. Mesmer promised a large reward, and Constance agreed to take them to Mozart's grave. It's a pity that this genius is left in a desolate place, without even a tombstone or a cross. After some twists and turns, they finally reached their destination. What an amazing place! The magic of music immediately brings the doctor back to the concert in the Baroque Garden of Vienna forty years ago...
With the wonderful music, time returns to 1768, when Vienna is in the process of a tragedy for a woman named Amatta. Little boy and crazy. This is a music prodigy who can play the piano at the age of three, starts composing music at the age of five, and can never forget any melody! The child's father is the Salzburg orchestra conductor, Leopold Mozart, and now he is proudly showing off his son's talent in front of celebrities in Vienna. Silently assisting on the side was the boy's sister, Nana. In fact, she herself was once a child prodigy who astonished everyone with her skills. However, her younger brother's overly dazzling light overshadowed her genius early on. The girl didn't seem to mind this, willingly accompanying her brother as the most considerate sister and the most loyal admirer. But now, our protagonist seems uncooperative and increasingly listless. Nana discovers that he is ill. Leopold refused to believe it, stubbornly believing that geniuses don’t get sick. He was just being naughty and should be taught a lesson!
At this time, a noble lady came to Amatta's rescue. She warned Leopold for pushing the child too hard. Amata found a mysterious little box in the garden, and thanks to her order, the little boy was able to keep this treasure. Baroness von Walterstetten later became Mozart's mentor when he went to Vienna alone.
Time flies, nine years pass by, and the little prodigy has grown up. This young man, Wolfgang, was at this time the court musician of Salzburg. He excitedly showed his newly bought red coat to his sister. It was the same style and color as the little coat he wore during his European tour. Nana also immediately remembered the dress gifted by Her Majesty the Queen: "Velvet and satin, inlaid with gold and jade! Not everyone is worthy of wearing this kind of dress. Put it on, and the whole world will pay attention to you. You He is a true prince, forever and ever." Wolfgang hopes to travel around the world wearing it like he did when he was a child. He wants to break new ground. Salzburg is really breathtaking! The two siblings were chatting excitedly when their father walked in. Leopold was very dissatisfied when he saw his son's fancy clothes that did not suit his status, not to mention the money he won from gambling! He asked if the music the prince wanted had been composed, and Wolfgang replied: "It has been composed for a long time. It is in my mind, but it has not been written down yet." Leopold was so angry that he ordered Nana to go immediately He took off his clothes, and Wolfgang said, "Compose well for me!"
Only one Mozart was left on the stage... no, two! Wolfgang and Amatos. Throughout the play, Amatos follows Wolfgang closely like a shadow. The latter is Mozart's "person" and the former is Mozart's "spirit". Of course, no one can see him except Wolfgang. . While beautiful music flowed from Amathe's fingertips, Wolfgang was trying hard to suppress his resentment towards 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?"
At the market in Salzburg, Nana proudly described her brother's trip to the vendors. But the appearance of Count Akoro ruthlessly broke her fantasy. He told Nana that Wolfgang couldn't find a job at all now and that he would soon regret having offended the prince. Pedestrians on the roadside seemed to be talking about it: "The former child prodigy...Mozart! Now he is homeless...Mozart!"
Although Leopold stayed at home, his heart was always in On my son from afar. He hated himself for letting his son leave despite the danger outside. This is a world full of lies, betrayal, deception and corruption, full of flatterers, parasites and hypocrites. It is unimaginable how this simple child will survive without his own protective umbrella! He could only hope that Wolfgang would have a strong will, strong enough to resist the temptation of the outside world, and strong enough to protect himself from harm. "You have to learn to be smart and deal with the world tactfully. Never believe in the gentleness of poisonous snakes, never believe in the loyalty of jackals. Always be grateful for the help you receive. Be sure to restrain your excitement and keep a clear mind. Let others need you. , I love you. This is a good son that I should be proud of!" Unfortunately, facts soon proved that my father's worries were not unfounded. In Mannheim, lived the notorious Weber family, the scheming and shameless widow Cecilia Weber, and her four idle daughters. Now, Mrs. Weber is worried: No one is willing to lend money, what should I do? "Life is hard for decent people. Diligence and politeness are not enough to support the family. We can only hope that a man can help us get out of this predicament." Mrs. Weber's "good friend" Fridolin came excitedly to report the good news: that year The music prodigy Mozart is here. He is the God of Wealth! So Mrs. Weber sent her daughter Alausia, who was quite talented in music, to take action.
As a result, Wolfgang fell in love with Alausia at first sight, who was young and beautiful and had an angelic singing voice. He willingly spent his hard-earned money on the Weber family and promised to make Alausia a prima soprano. Soon, Leopold learned about the relationship between Wolfgang and Alausia, and what he was most worried about happened. He prayed to God to save his son. After some careful consideration, Leopold ordered Wolfgang to go to Paris immediately, just the mother and son! If you break them up, the problem should be solved, right? Unexpectedly, although Wolfgang obeyed his father's order and left Mannheim, he was already dazzled by love. In order not to lose Alausia, 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... Before long, Mrs. Mozart He died in poverty and illness.
The desperate Wolfgang angrily rebuked this cruel world, what a cruel life, what a weird world! When you are plunged into a sea of ??darkness, where can you find hope? Yesterday it was a treasure, today it has become a piece of grass. I once thought there was love everywhere, but in the end I ended up alone! " Wolfgang's trip to Europe ended in a complete failure. He returned to Salzburg heavily in debt and was once again employed by Archbishop Coloredo. The servants in the Prince's Palace were already jealous of Mozart, and now they took advantage of the opportunity. To his great humiliation, the tour of Emmanuel Schickneider's troupe came to the town, and he was very pleased with the enthusiasm of the audience in the tavern. In order to keep his son, Leopold took out a large bill. It was all the trouble he had caused while in Paris. Wolfgang had to stay in Salzburg dutifully and work hard to pay off these debts. At this time, Baroness von Walterstetten came to visit, and she wanted to take him with him. Wolfgang went to Vienna. Of course Leopold didn't agree. So the Baroness told a story: Once upon a time, there was a king who lived with his son in a magic garden. The old king was disillusioned with the world. Feeling cold, in order to prevent his son from being harmed, he ordered a high wall to be built and the palace door to be locked all day long. The king thought that there was no place comparable to this paradise, but the prince always heard a voice in his heart telling him. Said: "Get out of here! There is a place where no one has been, where gold falls from the stars at night. If you want to get the gold in the stars, you have to plunge into the dangers outside alone." The king warned his son: "If you go outside, you will be hit hard like I was. Stay well in our magic garden. These high walls and locked palace doors are all to protect you. "Every word of his father's words revealed deep love, but the prince's inner desire told him: "Sometimes love means letting go when it's time to let go; sometimes love means being willing to separate from the one you love. Love should be able to say with tears: 'In a distant place, gold fell from the stars. Leave home, plunge into danger, and find the gold in the stars! '"
It's a pity that our "king" doesn't drink this "chicken soup for the soul". This time he is determined. Nana also persuades his brother, so Wolfgang has to stay temporarily and wait for better things. A few months later, a second chance came. Colorido was going to Vienna, and he ordered Wolfgang to go with him, who eventually entered the Archbishop's entourage. Not long after arriving in Vienna, he met the Weber family again, who had moved to Vienna from Mannheim. Although Alausia was a married woman, this time Wolfgang was fascinated by Mrs. Weber's other wife. A daughter, Constance. Mrs. Weber took the opportunity to persuade Wolfgang to move into their home.
Leopold realized that Wolfgang would never come back, and he was furious. The notepad from the "child prodigy era" was thrown into the Saar River. Nana tried to comfort her father, but it was of no use. Looking at his dear brother, he lamented that his childhood dreams had come to nothing. Wolfgang could obey his genius and pursue his ideals, but she would always be bound by responsibility. She was now a daughter and would soon become a wife and daughter. Mother.
Colorido originally promised to introduce Wolfgang to the emperor, but he reneged and ordered Wolfgang to return to Salzburg immediately. The angry Wolfgang agreed again. The archbishop quarreled, and the result was naturally the same as last time... Wolfgang was free again, but he was horrified to realize that he would never be truly free. His "genius" was Al who had been following him closely. Matt, the "elf" who consumes his energy more and more domineeringly, has now become a demon! Wolfgang is destined to be his slave and unable to resist.

Act 2
San Marcos Cemetery. While ordering his servants to dig the grave, Dr. Mesmer asked Constance what unusual behavior this musical genius had. . Constance was at pains to avoid these questions.
Back in 1871, a debate ensued between Mozart's supporters and critics. The family is talented, but some people think it is just some fashionable tricks. However, both sides have reached a consensus: if you want to gain a foothold in Vienna, it is not enough to have real talent and hard work. More importantly, you must be able to play tricks. means.
What kind of place is Vienna? Here, the person who salutes you diligently may have a sharp dagger hidden behind his back!
At this time, Wolfgang has left the Weber family, but his love for Constance has deepened day by day. Likewise, the girl has not forgotten him. On this day, Constance came unexpectedly. The chaotic family environment disgusted her, and she was willing to entrust her life to the pure-hearted young man in front of her. Wolfgang was overjoyed: "You are the angel in my heart, you are still so proud and strong even when you cry. I wonder which star in the night sky fell into my dream? You know the real me, because your eyes can Look directly into my soul. My love for you will last forever. Since I saw you, I know that I belong to you in this life. I only want to protect you from the wind and rain. Staying together day and night." While the young lovers were embracing each other, Mrs. Weber and her new "partner" broke in... As a result, Wolfgang was forced to sign an agreement and promised to marry Constance immediately. , or pay compensation for life. Seeing that her mother was actually using her as a blackmail tool, Constance was enraged. She quietly stole the contract and tore it into pieces in front of Wolfgang.
One night, Wolfgang dreamed that he was in a masquerade. Watching the masked guests passing by, Wolfgang couldn't guess which one was him. Suddenly, he saw his father! He hoped to get help from his father, but Leopold only left a curse: "I gave you everything, how did you repay it? No matter what success you may get in the future, there is one thing you can never expect in this life, That is: happiness!" After waking up from the nightmare, Wolfgang asked the Baroness for advice. The Baroness told him that he should get rid of his dependence on his father as soon as possible and that he must learn to think independently and grow independently.
At this time, Nana also found the destination of love, but the other party's family was poor. Of course, Leopold did not agree to the marriage unless she could raise the dowry herself. Nana had no choice but to write to her brother for help. Wolfgang withdrew the money and was about to send it to her, but he was interrupted by a group of cunning friends. They got him drunk and took all the money from the gaming tables.
It was another all-night dance, and a drunk Constance returned to the apartment. Look at this "doghouse", it's so cute! They say a housewife should never stop doing housework, well, just don't start it. She recalled the joy of last night: dancing non-stop, spinning wildly, letting the champagne flow in the blood, and letting the roses bloom in the hair. Those were the days like a fairy. In her opinion, losing such fun would be the biggest regret in life.
Wolfgang has become famous, enjoying 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 pleased to see his son's great achievements, but soon he realized that Wolfgang no longer needed his guidance, which was extremely frustrating. Wolfgang tried to comfort him several times, but all in vain. On this day, Wolfgang gave Leopold a gift, which was the small box that had been with him since childhood. Leopold opened the box and found it was full of money! Wolfgang's original intention was for his father to use the money to redeem his freedom so that he would no longer be subject to Bishop Colorido, but Leopold completely misunderstood it! "Don't even think about using money to pay back what you owe me!", he yelled, 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 sad why his father couldn't understand him, as an artist he had to go his own way and had no choice. However, without his father's approval, he could not truly enjoy the joy of success. Unexpectedly, a deep love between father and son would end with such a serious misunderstanding. Wolfgang almost collapsed. Amatai attacked him when he was at his weakest, because Wolfgang's attitude now sometimes made the child prodigy very angry.
Bishop Colorido has not forgotten his court musicians. On the contrary, he is now impressed by Mozart's music. He summoned Leopold and asked him whether he had communicated to Wolfgang the new appointment at the Salzburg court. Leopold advised him to forget about Wolfgang completely and promised to cultivate a better music prodigy. But this suggestion was immediately rejected. After sending Leopold away, the frustrated Colorido began to question God: Why did the things he treasured so much throughout his life, reason, logic, science..., all of them turn out to be something inexplicable and almost absurd? Beat, the magic of that music!
After encountering a series of disappointments, Wolfgang realized with dismay that his friends were right; Vienna did not favor people with real talent and hard work. Although the fortune has faded, he still has a generous income. The strange thing is that with his income, he often cannot make ends meet. It's Cecilia! She became increasingly greedy and even asked her son-in-law to ask for money from friends and patrons. Wolfgang gradually matured while enduring his anger. Just when he finally had the courage to refuse the Weber family's unreasonable demands, news of his father's death came from Salzburg!
In St. Stephen's Cathedral, Wolfgang said his final farewell to his father, but the words he said did not sound like a eulogy, they were simply accusations! He knew that the pain his father had endured over the years would never be lighter than his own.
“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 asked him to compose a requiem for an unknown person.
In July 1789, news of the French Revolution came, which also aroused the excitement of the citizens of Vienna: "Only when you have a straight spine can you become a man, and a dog is willing to lie at the feet of his master. Only when you have freedom can you become a man, and it is finally time to break the chains. At that time!" A nobleman was very dissatisfied: "You ungrateful people! Our old king is the one who guides everyone and protects everyone. He is like the father of the people!" Wolfgang immediately responded: "Grow up. The child no longer needs a father! "... Emmanuel Schickneider hurried over to warn his friend not to be arrogant and to talk about politics is not a wise move. "Don't forget, we artists can use more sophisticated means to express our opinions." Back in the garden of the theater, Schickneider handed the newly completed script of "The Magic Flute" to Wolfgang, and Amathe came over immediately The script was taken away. Schickneider implored Mozart to compose the most beautiful and unforgettable melody for this play. This was his chance to become famous in one fell swoop. He also found an actress to "inspire" the composer. When Wolfgang disappeared into the house with the beauty in his arms, Amathe was sitting on the roof leisurely writing music. 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 screamed outside the theater and rushed to buy the statues of child prodigies and adult musicians. Admirers climbed to the theater's roof. In the silent night sky, beautiful carols sounded softly, and the songs became louder and louder, predicting that future generations would pay homage to this musical genius.
But Wolfgang could not enjoy this new glory. He realized that he was terminally ill, as if he had been poisoned. He was lying on the bed dying with a high fever, while Amata was sitting on the edge of the bed, dangling her feet, concentrating on composing the "Requiem". After a while, Amathe's ink bottle ran dry, and as usual, he pricked Wolfgang's arm and replaced the ink with blood. Wolfgang begged his "doppelg?nger" to show mercy, but Amathe would not listen. Finally, perhaps feeling that the "ink" was not smooth enough, he grabbed the quill and stabbed it directly into Wolfgang's heart...
Time and space become one. On one side, all the characters in Wolfgang's life come out of the darkness, surround the deceased, tell the meaning of life, and ask how to escape the shackles of fate. On the other side, at San Marcos Cemetery, Dr. Mesmer held up the skull of the genius and carefully admired this perfect sculpture of God. Nana found the mysterious little box.
Opening the lid of the box, a sweet little song sounded, reminding her of her glorious "child prodigy era" again...
