AMADEUS
By Peter Shaffer Syracuse Stage Directed by Robert Hupp March 11-29, 2020 Antonio Salieri has pledged his life to God in exchange for success as a composer. Yet the music that most captures God’s voice comes not from Salieri, but from the prodigy Mozart. Could jealousy have driven Salieri to murder this “obscene child” who is unworthy of the musical genius he possesses? On the eve of his own death, Salieri reveals his final composition: “The Death of Mozart – or, Did I Do It?” Well, did he or didn’t he? An enticing andvenjoyable theatrical experience enhanced by a variety of musical events in partnership with Symphoria. |
