Yes.... It's true that the Archbishop of Salzburg strongly despised Mozart and constantly mistreated him.

Mozart then moved to Vienna, where he stayed there for the rest of his life - and he avoided Salzburg like the plague.

Thanks to the movie Amadeus, many people these days think Mozart's enemy was Antonio Salieri. To put the facts straight, Salieri and Mozart were rivals - but at the same time were good friends. Salieri did help him with a few projects, but he didn't help him finish the Requiem.
