Amadeus

Amadeus

Stage 773
1225 W Belmont Ave Chicago

Now in his twilight years, the composer Antonio Salieri makes a bold claim: that he may have killed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Looking back on his life, Salieri explores his tempestuous rivalry with the boorish but brilliant Mozart, alternating between trusted confidant and devious backstabber. Does Salieri have blood on his hands or this just a way to escape his own mediocrity and growing obscurity? Interwoven with the music of these two men, Amadeus is a rich period drama that challenges audiences to consider our need for genius and our fear of disappearing forever.
