Starring Michael Sheen as Salieri and Callum Scott Howells as Mozart, Amadeus returns in the first revival of Peter Shaffer’s iconic play in over a decade.

"This was a music I'd never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing, it had me trembling.”

Vienna, 1820. A respected composer makes a shocking confession.

Antonio Salieri has everything - status, success, and the certainty that he has earned them. Until he meets musical prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Vulgar and childish, but utterly brilliant, Mozart possesses a gift so extraordinary that Salieri believes it can only be divine. And that God has chosen the wrong man.

Faced with a brilliance he cannot rival, Salieri begins a dangerous obsession that threatens to consume them both - channelling his jealousy into a calculated campaign to destroy the man he both worships and despises.

Fuelled by some of the greatest music ever written, Amadeus is an electrifying story of ambition, faith, and the unbearable cost of greatness - where talent battles genius, devotion turns to betrayal, and man dares to challenge God.

Directed by Jeremy Herrin, and starring Michael Sheen (The Passion for National Theatre Wales, Nye at the Royal National Theatre, Our Town for Welsh National Theatre) as Salieri opposite Callum Scott Howells (It's A Sin, Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club) as Mozart, this marks the first major revival of Peter Shaffer’s iconic play in over a decade - and the first time two Welsh actors take on these legendary roles.
