Eighteenth-century Vienna is the setting, and two popular artists of the day are the protagonists in this award-winning drama based on the music and intertwining lives of the brilliant Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his jealous rival, Court Composer Antonio Salieri. Believing that God has bestowed brilliance on an unmannered fool, Salieri attempts to destroy his rival. The Broadway production garnered seven Tony Awards including Best Play, and was transformed into an Oscar-winning film.
