The musical Falco meets Amadeus is about two exceptional phenomena in music history, namely Falco and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart . Mozart and Falco were great geniuses who worked to the point of self-destruction. Falco is not the great superstar, but a staged figure - Mozart is portrayed in musicals as a kindred musical genius. The musical looks behind the scenes of show business, which not only has its good (acclaimed performances), but also its bad sides. Furthermore, the story is largely based on motifs from the classic Faust story (pact with the devil, fallen girl, etc.).
