Amadeus at Conejo Players Theatre

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play and the Academy Award for Best Film, this provocative work weaves a confrontation between mediocrity and genius into a tale of breathtaking dramatic power. In the court of the Austrian Emperor Josef, Antonio Salieri is the established composer. Salieri has given himself to God so that he might realize his sole ambition to be a great composer, yet Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart -- the greatest musical genius of all time -- is a foul-mouthed, graceless oaf who has that which lies far beyond Salieri's envious grasp: genius.
