Episode Description

The invitation to the imperial court still hasn't arrived. Money is short, and Devilius manipulates the innkeeper to demand the hotel bill from Amadeus’ father, Leopold, in advance. Leopold has no other option than to return to Salzburg. Amadeus attempts to meet the Empress during a visit to the opera, but has no luck. As the Mozarts are on their way home in an oxcart, the invitation to the imperial court finally arrives! In a race against time, the misled innkeeper tries to reach the Mozarts to bring them back. Will Devilius still stand in the way of Amadeus' appearance at the court, or could Amadeus end up receiving a kiss from the Empress herself?
