Ticket Information
One of the most powerful plays of our time, Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus pits a cunning yet mediocre composer, Antonio Salieri, against his unwitting nemesis, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. But Salieri’s war isn’t really with Mozart: it’s with a God who would choose to bless Mozart with the gifts that Salieri feels he deserves. When the disgruntled Salieri vows to destroy God’s creation, the tables are set for an epic battle of trust and betrayal, love and blinding hatred.
Amadeus is being co-produced by Elemental Theatre Collective and Big Table Productions. Big Table Productions is an organization of Rhode Island educational and business leaders, students, and theatre artists that have been working together to create The Amadeus Project, an ongoing curriculum initiative inspired by the play. Their concepts have been implemented in schools and universities across the state throughout the past year.
This production is made possible in part by a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts.
