Amadeus: Full Play

Amadeus • 15, 02-Feb-2017

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a rowdy young prodigy, arrives in Vienna determined to make a splash. Awestruck by his genius and seized by obsessive jealousy, court composer Antonio Salieri begins a war with Mozart, with music, and ultimately, with God.

Peter Shaffer’s iconic play features a live orchestral accompaniment by Southbank Sinfonia.
