Michael Sheen stars in a powerful revival of Peter Shaffer’s iconic tale of rivalry, genius and obsession
A landmark revival of Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus arrives at The New Theatre, Cardiff in 2027, directed by Jeremy Herrin in a co-production with Second Half Productions.
Starring Michael Sheen alongside Callum Scott Howells, this gripping drama marks the first major revival of the play in over a decade. Fierce, intelligent and emotionally charged,
Amadeus delves into the legendary rivalry between Antonio Salieri and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — a battle shaped by envy, ambition and the torment of unfulfilled brilliance. Salieri has everything — until he hears Mozart. “This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing, it had me trembling. ”Faced with a genius he cannot rival and a gift he believes is divine, admiration twists into obsession, and obsession into destruction. As Salieri wages a calculated war against the man he both worships and despises, the stage becomes a battleground of music, manipulation and moral conflict.
This bold new production re-examines one of theatre’s most compelling stories, asking what it truly means to recognise greatness — and what it costs to live in its shadow.
