Photo Flash: Crime-Thriller Opera MOZART & SALIERI
By: Rebecca Russo Jul. 21, 2016
Time Zone Theatre will present MOZART & SALIERI, an opera by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, with libretto by Alexander Pushkin, in an English translation by Andrew Charity.
Following a successful run in London and Vienna, Time Zone Theatre's immersive production will be part of Grimeborn 2016 at the Arcola Theatre and run from 9th - 13th August at their main house.
"Villainy and genius can never be compatible?" asks Salieri, after he bid Mozart farewell. The opera follows the apocryphal legend that Antonio Salieri poisoned Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart out of jealousy over his talent. Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) used the short play Mozart and Salieri by Alexander Pushkin as libretto for his opera, which also served Peter Shaffer as inspiration to his famous stage play and film Amadeus.
