AMADEUS
Overview
Peter Shaffer’s celebrated play Amadeus tells the fictionalized story of the rivalry between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the prolific and genius composer, and Antonio Salieri, a contemporary composer and court musician in 18th century Vienna. Amadeus explores themes of jealousy, obsession, and the pursuit of artistic excellence, as Salieri becomes consumed by his envy towards Mozart’s talent.
