Amadeus

The St. Louis Shakespeare Company presents Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus, directed by Milt Zoth. Set amist the opulence and splendor of 18th century Vienna, Peter Shaffer’s thrilling and often funny Amadeus pits blazing human ambition against heavenly genius, in what becomes a battle of life and death. Antoni Salieri is exalted as the most famous composer in a city of musicians–that is, until the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart arrives. Now brutally confronted with the limitations of his own talent and believing God to have abandoned him, Salieri embarks on a desperate course of action.
