Amadeus at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, from 31 Aug-3 Sep. Composer Antonio Salieri, consumed by his hatred of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's hedonistic lifestyle and undeniable talent, enacts a devious scheme with dire consequences for both of them.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce) is a remarkably talented young Viennese composer who unwittingly finds a fierce rival in the disciplined and determined Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham). Resenting Mozart for both his hedonistic lifestyle and his undeniable talent, the highly religious Salieri is gradually consumed by his jealousy and becomes obsessed with Mozart's downfall, leading to a devious scheme that has dire consequences for both men.
