Join us for Amadeus in Seligman Theatre this new year!
At Salieri’s death in 1825 rumour was rife that Salieri had poisoned Mozart out of jealousy and spite. In fact this was entirely fabricated – the result of musical factions at the Viennese Court splitting down ethnic lines: the Italians vs the Germans. It IS true that Mozart claimed he had been poisoned as he lay dying – but he never named Salieri. It IS true that Salieri tried and failed to commit suicide but he never accused himself of murdering Mozart.
