January 20 - February 11, 2006

A fascinating look at the young musical genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and the relationship with his diabolical mentor, Antonio Salieri. The Academy Award-winning movie was based on this play.

This provocative, Tony award winning play revolves around a spectacular confrontation between mediocrity and genius that is woven into a tale of breathtaking dramatic power. In the court of Austrian Emperor Joseph II, Antonio Salieri is the established composer. Enter Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, perhaps the greatest musical genius of all time. Full of envy and hatred, Salieri sets out to destroy this child who hears the music of the spheres.

"A play of complexity of thought, emotion, and dramatic power."
New York Post
