Amadeus - Une pièce de Peter Shaffer

This production of Peter Shaffer's play tells the story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and court composer Antonio Salieri, who, overcome with jealousy at hearing the "voice of God" coming from an "obscene child," sets out to destroy his rival. The play originally premiered in 1979 and won the Evening Standard Drama Award and the Theatre Critics' Award for the London production, before moving to Broadway where it won the 1981 Tony Award for Best Play and ran for more than a thousand performances.

Attendees can expect a philosophical drama that explores genius, envy, and the nature of artistic creation. The play is a mix of dramatic intensity and satirical comedy, characteristic of Shaffer's work, which includes other acclaimed plays like Equus and The Royal Hunt of the Sun. This Parisian staging offers a chance to experience a classic of modern theatre in an intimate setting.
