Interlude in Prague is a 2017 film about a fictional episode in the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart that led to his writing the opera Don Giovanni. It stars Aneurin Barnard, James Purefoy, Samantha Barks, Morfydd Clark, Adrian Edmondson and Anna Rust. It was directed by John Stephenson, written by Brian Ashby and the screenplay by Brian Ashby, Helen Clare Cromarty and John Stephenson.
In the year 1788, Mozart escapes Vienna for Prague, but his presence unleashes a series of dramatic events set off by a forbidden love affair with young soprano Zuzanna. His passionate response to danger and heartbreak ultimately expressed through his genius mind and the creation of one of his most famous masterpieces. A provocative twist on the Mozart biopic, with lust and murder.[1]
In November 2017, the film won a Golden Angel Award for the Best International Co-Production Film at the Chinese American Film Festival.[2]
