Mozart: Rise of a Genius
Season 1 Episode 3 of 3
Mozart's music takes on a new level of intensity following his father's death as he grapples with the numerous losses he has experienced in his short life. His opera Don Giovanni is marked by its unparalleled drama and sophistication, but the Viennese audience, including the emperor, find the music too intense. The outbreak of the Austro-Turkish War in 1788 further fractures the Viennese music scene, leaving Mozart in a precarious position
Mozart: Rise of a Genius airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland at 9:00 PM, Monday 30 September. (Subtitles, new, finale, series, audio description.)
