1788, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart escapes the frustrating, privileged elite of Vienna to spend a few weeks in Prague. However, his unconventional presence soon unleashes a series of dramatic and tragic events set off by a forbidden affair with young soprano Zuzanna. Overwhelmed by the tangled web of lust, violence and intrigue that surrounds him, Mozart finds inspiration to create the astonishing and dramatic piece of music that will become the operatic masterpiece Don Giovanni. Interlude in Prague is a powerful period thriller set to the music of Mozart and starring James Purefoy (High-Rise, The Following), Samantha Barks (Les Miserables) and Aneurin Barnard (SS-GB, War & Peace).
