Nothing is more revealing of a person’s character than their private letters, especially if they are not intended for publication… Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s letters are candid, emotional, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking as we follow his precarious fortunes, his triumphs and hardships, his reliance on fickle patronage, his occasional penury, his cheeky letters to his cousin and his desperation to please a tyrannical father.

As Australian theatre legend John Bell traces the life and career of Mozart, reading extensively from his letters along with comments by some of his contemporaries, extraordinary concert pianist Simon Tedeschi performs a soundtrack to the young composer’s life.

With love, Amadeus shines the spotlight once more on one of classical music’s enduring heroes, in a thrilling fifth collaboration between two of Australia’s leading artists from theatre and classical music, John Bell and Simon Tedeschi.
