In „Amadeus,” Peter Shaffer combines history and fiction to present aspects of the last years of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s life. The play explores the rivalry between Mozart and Antonio Salieri, the court composer of the Austrian Emperor in the late 18th century. Envious of the young Mozart’s talent and unhappy with his own mediocrity, Salieri cannot understand how God could have bestowed such incredible grace on the eccentric Mozart, after he himself had made a „pact” with the Divine. He denies God and plots to destroy his rival by any means possible. In Salieri’s inner world, envy is combined with admiration, almost love, for Mozart’s music. Salieri understands the exceptional qualities of Mozart’s music better than anyone else, and this mixture of hatred and appreciation makes him one of the most complex characters in universal drama. Also, although it bears Mozart's name (Amadeus - the beloved of God), the story is told from the perspective of Salieri, old and preparing for death, illustrating intolerance, but meditating on genius.
Considerat „unul dintre momentele de vârf ale anului teatral 1986” (Dinu Kivu), „o performanță scenică națională… un veritabil eveniment teatral” (Victor Parhon), „unul dintre cele mai importante spectacole ale anului” (Valentin Tașcu), „Amadeus” e reluat cu importante schimbări de distribuție în 1990, în regia aceluiași Alexandru Darie.
