Peter Shaffer's Amadeus takes you on a wild ride through an almost "operatic" story of genius, jealousy and revenge. Winner! 1981 Tony Award, Best Play Winner! 1985 Academy Award, Best Film In the court of the Austrian Emperor Joseph II, Antonio Salieri is the established composer. Enter the greatest musical genius of all time: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Salieri has given himself to God so that he might realize his sole ambition, to be a great composer. Mozart is a foul-mouthed, graceless oaf who has that which is beyond Salieri's envious grasp: Genius. Driven by jealousy and hatred, Salieri sets out to destroy him.
