Goodness is nothing in the furnace of art.

Welcome to 18th-century Vienna, where the wigs are big, composers are rockstars, and symphonies rule the charts. Amid the gossip and manners, favored court composer Antonio Salieri has a confession to make. What begins as a fierce rivalry with the maddeningly brilliant—and maddeningly childish—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart spirals into a consuming and dangerous jealousy, leading to a moral reckoning that alters Salieri’s life and the course of music history forever.

Featuring epic theatricality and lavish period design, Peter Shaffer’s iconic Tony Award and Oscar-winning masterpiece invites theater and symphonic music lovers alike to witness the rise and fall of a genius and consider what we are willing to sacrifice for the cost of greatness.
