In Episode 2 of Mozart: Rise of a Genius, 25-year-old Mozart arrives in Vienna, seeking independence from his father. He finds creative refuge with the Weber family, falls deeply for Constanze, and marries her despite Leopold’s strong objections. Amidst their romance, Mozart debuts The Marriage of Figaro, a daring and socially sharp opera that dazzles the public but ruffles aristocratic feathers. This episode marks his personal and artistic breakthrough in 1781 Vienna.
