Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a genius, the most brilliant musician the world has ever seen. But the court of eighteenth-century Vienna doesn’t recognize his talents. Aside, that is, from Antonio Salieri, the Court Composer, who is tortured by what he hears. Seething with rage at the genius of this infantile upstart and suddenly aware of his own mediocrity, Salieri sets out to destroy the man he sees as God’s instrument on earth. Marking the return of the spring senior production to the Dorfman stage, Amadeus is a lavish costume thriller exploring envy, mortality and art.
