History[]
It's Vienna, Austria, and the year is 1781. The Prince-Archbishop has arranged a royal concert for the Emperor where prodigious music composer, Wolfgang Mozart, is set to perform. Mozart isn't without his enemies, though, and rival composer, Solieri, plans to kidnap him, take his place at the concert, and play for the Emperor himself.
Jem and The Holograms are transported through time –thanks to Techrat's "Time Travel Device"– precisely inside of Mozart's house. They quickly befriend him and help him escape the two men that Solieri paid to abduct him. Mozart then heads toward the concert hall.
Meanwhile, at the royal musical concert hall, Solieri has already taken the stage and presents himself to the Emperor –who is sitting on a theater balcony next to the Archbishop–, while also taking the opportunity to badmouth Mozart. The Emperor, on his part, shows himself to be quite displeased at the Archbishop because he promised that Mozart would be the one to perform. At that precise moment, however, Mozart arrives and climbs on the stage, while two guards take Solieri away.
Mozart begins playing, much to the Emperor, the Archbishop, and the whole audience's approval.
