Open simplicity with modest special effects create an intriguing atmosphere... until the recorded opera music cuts abruptly and the cast sings in an amateurish style. This got hard to take after a while for a trained musician such as myself. This occurred over and over and over, till the phrase "art film" popped into my head over and over again.
Of interest though was the use of, seemingly, quoted letters from Mozart himself and the three Weber sisters, with whom Mozart flirted and cajoled till eventually one of them became his real-life wife: Constanza--revealed with full glorious natural cleavage, breaking the monotony of the prerecorded/real singing toggle that becomes tiresome after an hour. But sincerely, "A for effort" for the cast and an interesting experiment.
