Peter Shaffer’s internationally-acclaimed 1979 play Amadeus is being staged at the Manoel Theatre by Masquerade Theatre Company, starting tomorrow. Amadeus is a fictionalised historical account of the lives of two great 18th century composers – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his arch-rival Antonio Salieri.

The play recalls events that took place 44 years earlier – as confessed by the now elderly Salieri – leading up to the infamous murder plot perpetrated by Salieri in Shaffer’s masterpiece. The show will be a fresh revisiting of the play, commemorating the 20th anniversary since Masquerade was founded. 

Amadeus is being directed by Stephen Oliver and will mark veteran actor Manuel Cauchi’s return to the stage as Salieri, alongside the celebrated Thomas Camilleri as Mozart.

Amadeus is being staged at the Manoel Theatre tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday and on October 26-28 at 7.30pm. Tickets are available at www.teatrumanoel.com.mt.
