某年某夜的香港 過去或未來……
古典音樂＋芭蕾＋Cyberpunk！香港管弦樂團與香港芭蕾舞團聯手推出全新短片《Amadeus（a cyberpunk dream）》，莫扎特從十八世紀奢華的歐洲穿越到充滿數碼龐克色彩的未來香港。影片由電影導演兼屢獲殊榮的服裝及美術指導張兆康執導，其參與作品包括《擺渡人》（第54屆台灣電影金馬獎最佳造型設計獎）、《花椒之味》（第39屆香港電影金像獎最佳美術指導獎）、《激戰》和《一念無明》等。
在港樂演奏的莫扎特《小夜曲》第二及第三樂章下，加上舞團藝術總監衛承天極具玩味的編舞，舞團的舞蹈員和港樂的樂師將香港街頭化身成刺激的神秘世界，以現代風格重新演繹經典樂章。
短片以莫扎特出現在復古未來風的香港，被兩個陰險的特工追捕，繼而逃進街道上熱鬧人群中的場面展開。七彩繽紛的人潮中，有建築工人、流氓、街頭表演者，亦有在打麻雀、玩遊戲機和購物的路人等。各人身穿奇異夢幻服飾，在燈光恍惚、以夜生活聞名的蘇豪街頭奏樂起舞！
香港一直是無數科幻片的靈感來源，影片透過創意十足的道具、服裝、佈景、燈光、特效，以及古典音樂、芭蕾和電影的跨領域藝術創作，為我城注入朝氣，並向香港著名的霓虹燈美學和電影風格致敬。
誠邀大家與莫扎特踏上不一樣的奇幻冒險之旅！香港芭蕾舞團在今個星期五及六更會在香港管弦樂團《莫扎特與芭蕾 | 王致仁的拉威爾》音樂會作特別演出，為大家帶來集音樂與舞蹈於一身的藝術盛宴。

Synopsis: one night in Hong Kong sometime in the past...
...or in the future
Classical Music + Ballet + Cyberpunk! Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and Hong Kong Ballet proudly present a new short film, Amadeus (a cyberpunk dream), which depicts Mozart’s futuristic journey from the classical era to a psychedelic urbanscape in frenetic Hong Kong. The project was helmed by award-winning film director and production designer Ahong Cheung, best known for See You Tomorrow (Best Makeup and Costume Design, 54th Golden Horse Awards) and Fagara (Best Art Direction, 39th Hong Kong Film Awards).
With a modern take on Mozart’s mesmerising Eine kleine Nachtmusik by the HK Phil and whimsical choreography from HKB’s Artistic Director Septime Webre, vibrant dancers and captivating musicians transform the streets of Hong Kong into a mysterious, exciting universe.
A disoriented Mozart finds himself in retro-futuristic Hong Kong one night pursued by ominous authority figures. Decked out in flamboyant costumes, cyber-goth gangsters, mahjong players, street musicians, construction workers and pedestrians mill about the bustling streets of SoHo.
Drawing upon Hong Kong’s inspiring cyberpunk legacy, the short film salutes the city with an eclectic mix of imaginative costumes, sets and special effects. With this film, we would like to revive the city virtually and to pay homage to its famous neon light aesthetics and renowned cinematic style.
Join us on this outrageous out-of-this-world adventure, and experience Mozart in a completely new way by watching the film and coming to the concert this Friday and Saturday! Hong Kong Ballet will make a special appearance in the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra's Mozart en pointe | Chiyan Wong’s Ravel Concert.
