The film is a biopic of the Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was made as a co-production between the giant German studio UFA and Wien- Film which had been set up following the German annexation of Austria. The film was part of a wider attempt by the Nazis to portray Mozart as an authentic German hero. Like many German biopics of the war years, it portrays the composer as a pioneering visionary. The title refers to Mozart's middle name Amadeus( Latin for" love God") and to the aphorism" he whom the gods love, dies young"( Latin:) from Plautus'" Bacchides", lines 816 – 17, and earlier Greek sources, including Homer's mention of Trophonius; Mozart died at the age of 35.
