Peter Shaffer’s Tony
Award-winning play is a riveting tale of obsession and vengeance. Loosely
based on the lives of Viennese court composer Antonio Salieri and his young
rival Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Amadeus follows a murder plot that shocks and
fascinates. After committing his life to God in order to be blessed with the
ability to create the world’s most sublime music, Salieri believes that God
graced the rebellious Mozart with greater inspired creativity. Envious,
Salieri schemes to destroy Mozart and, in so doing, rebukes God.
Profanity, violence, adult situations. Recommended for mature
audiences.
