    • Synopsis
    • Venice 1763. Writer Lorenzo da Ponte is leading a very loose life. Originally a priest, his numerous affairs force him to be sent in exile in Vienna.
      Supported of his friend and mentor Giacomo Casanova, da Ponte is introduced in Vienna to Emperor’s favourite composer Salieri, and a newcomer named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
      Seeing here an opportunity to undermine Mozart’s ascension, Salieri tricked Mozart into hiring this unknown libertine as his librettist.
      But da Ponte’s own nature and sentimental wanderings in Vienna will nurture his inspiration and lead to one of Mozart’s most bold and powerful compositions: Don Giovanni.
