Amadeus

AMADEUS, the unforgettable story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri, two of the most memorable composers in world music history, written by Peter Shaffer, is on stage for its 7th season!

Directed by master director Işıl Kasapoğlu, this unique production, a joint venture between Çolpan İlhan-Sadri Alışık Theater and Piu Entertainment, invites you to a dramatic and striking stage experience intertwining Mozart's genius and music with Salieri's jealousy and obsessions!


Starring Selçuk Yöntem (Antonio Salieri), Tansu Biçer (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart), and Dilan Deniz Çiçek & Özlem Öçalmaz (Constanze Weber), Amadeus is one of the season's most talked-about productions with a cast of 70. It has played to sold-out audiences for six seasons, reaching 450,000 spectators!


While the young and brilliant composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart captivates all of Europe with his talent, court composer Antonio Salieri feels both admiration and jealousy for this brilliant genius when compared to his own talent. Salieri's inner conflicts and Mozart's free spirit weave an unforgettable story of passion, ambition, and tragedy. The play sheds light on Mozart's life through Salieri's perspective, exploring the delicate balance between music, jealousy, power, and death.
