Bavaria Film - Ideas set in motion.

Everybody knows the musical genius Mozart, the one and only “wunderkind,” a superstar with a boatload of issues – and a sister, who is just as talented as her brother. When he is fired from a position in Salzburg, Maria Anna sees a chance to escape the prospect of an arranged marriage by helping Amadeus to secure a position at the court of Emperor Joseph II in Vienna. But Amadeus’ erratic behavior jeopardizes their plan. So, she slips into the role of her brother, performing for the Emperor disguised as Amadeus – captivating the entire court and drawing the envy of Mozart’s greatest rival, Antonio Salieri. Her bold stunt quickly gets out of control. When Maria Anna convinces the Emperor to commission the first German-language opera, she must protect her charade, juggle her brother’s unpredictability, and keep her secret from her newfound love – who happens to be none other than Antonio Salieri.

Andreas Gutzeit (Sisi, Dignity) serves as executive producer, showrunner and head-author. Together with Swantje Oppermann (Dignity), he wrote the scripts for the series. Clara Zoë My-Linh von Arnim (Druck, The Zweiflers) serves as director, Simon Dat Vu as director of photography, Jessica De Rooij (Sisi, Blood & Gold) is the composer. Jens Freels (Sisi, Dignity) joins Andreas Gutzeit as Executive Producer; Simona Weber serves as Producer.

The series circles around the tomboy and Bavarian princess, who, after her marriage with Franz Joseph I., Emperor of Austria, has to realize that life at the Habsburg court in Vienna is not at all what she expected. The monarch must fight against the strict and even cruel regime at court and for her ideals. Empress Elisabeth, nicknamed Sisi, was a pop star and influencer of her time at the end of the 19th century, and an icon in Europe and beyond.

The RTL+-series is produced by Story House Pictures (Jens Freels and Andreas Gutzeit, who also serves as showrunner) in collaboration with Satel Film (Heinrich Ambrosch, Bettina Kuhn) and Beta Film.
