该剧改编自彼得·谢弗的经典剧作《上帝的宠儿》。 25岁的沃尔夫冈·阿玛多伊斯·莫扎特（福田知盛 饰）在父亲去世后失去生计，孤身前往维也纳谋生。一次偶然，他与才华横溢的女歌手康斯坦泽·韦伯（加布瑞拉·克里维 饰）结为盟友，后者凭借人脉将其引荐至宫廷作曲家安东尼奥·萨列里（保罗·贝坦尼 饰）的权贵圈层。原本的机遇却逐渐演变为一场天才与野心、艺术与权力的终极博弈——两人的对立不仅重塑了彼此的人生轨迹，更在古典音乐史上刻下了一段纠缠半生的传奇宿怨。
Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.
