Amadeus - presenting the Requiem to Salieri

See All

"Amadeus" is a stage play written in 1979 by Peter Shaffer, loosely based on the lives of the composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri. "Amadeus" was inspired by "Mozart and Salieri," a short play by Aleksandr Pushkin and later adapted into an opera of the same name by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Shaffer then adapted the play for a film released in 1984. This production of "Amadeus" was directed by University of Richmond theatre professor Dorothy Holland and was put on in the spring of 2006 at the Modlin Center for the Arts. In this scene, the increasingly ill Mozart (Sean Hudock, '07) struggles to finish his famous Requiem and seeks encouragement from his rival, Salieri (Michael Godwin).
