Michael Sheen and Callum Scott Howells star in a battle between talent and genius

Antonio Salieri has everything he could want. He enjoys fame, success and the admiration of society. But everything changes when he hears the extraordinary music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Unable to comprehend how someone so young, reckless and unconventional could possess such incredible talent, Salieri becomes consumed by envy. What begins as admiration soon spirals into obsession as he sets out to destroy the man he both worships and despises.

Starring Michael Sheen as Salieri and Callum Scott Howells as Mozart, this powerful production explores ambition, faith, jealousy and the devastating cost of greatness. Their casting has made Amadeus one of the most highly anticipated theatre events of 2027, bringing together two of Wales' most celebrated performers on stage.

Filled with passion, rivalry and some of the most beautiful music ever composed, Amadeus is a powerful theatrical experience that continues to captivate audiences around the world.
