If not in fame, then in infamy…

Genius and jealousy collide in the opulent salons and opera houses of 18th-century Vienna in Peter Shaffer’s Tony Award-winning “Best Play,” Amadeus. Directed by Richard Clifford (Folger’s Mary Stuart), the production features Helen Hayes Award-winner Ian Merrill Peakes (Macbeth and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at the Folger) as the tortured composer Salieri, who does everything in his power to destroy his musical rival—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Samuel Adams).
