Vienna, 1820. Successful, respected and admired, Antonio Salieri appears to have everything. But beneath the surface lies a deep resentment that has haunted him for years. When he first encounters the dazzling talent of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Salieri becomes convinced that God has gifted divine genius to the wrong man.

Brilliant, unpredictable and endlessly gifted, Mozart possesses a level of musical talent Salieri can never hope to match. As admiration turns to envy and obsession, Salieri begins a ruthless campaign against the very man he cannot stop worshipping.

Set against a backdrop of some of Mozart's greatest compositions, Amadeus explores the cost of greatness and the destructive power of jealousy. Written by acclaimed playwright Peter Shaffer and directed by Jeremy Herrin, this major revival brings fresh energy to one of theatre's most enduring masterpieces.

Leading the cast are two celebrated Welsh actors, with Michael Sheen taking on the role of Salieri and Callum Scott Howells playing Mozart. The production marks the first major revival of the play in over a decade.

Whether you're passionate about classical music, historical drama or powerful storytelling, Amadeus promises an unforgettable night in London's West End.

Book your Amadeus tickets today and witness a dramatic battle between talent, ambition and obsession.
