About the play

Amadeus is a highly fictionalised account of the lives of composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri. The play focuses on Salieri who, propelled by jealousy and intense dislike, plots the downfall of his rival Mozart. Though Salieri believes Mozart's work to be divine, he cannot fathom why God has favoured such a vulgar creature to be his creative instrument.


This magnificent play won the 1981 Tony Award for Best Play. The 1984 film won 8 academy awards including best film and best actor.
