AMADEUS

May 2-17, 2025 at Irving Arts Center

By Peter Shaffer

Directed by TBA

In the court of the Austrian Emperor Joseph II, Antonio Salieri is the established composer. Enter the greatest musical genius of all time: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Salieri has given himself to God so that he might realize his sole ambition, to be a great composer. Mozart is a foul-mouthed, graceless oaf who has that which is beyond Salieri’s envious grasp: Genius. How far will Salieri go to achieve the fame that Mozart disregards? The show received the Tony Award for Best Play in 1981. Musical history is enlivened and re-imagined in Peter Shaffer’s award-winning parable.
