Amadeus, the masterpiece by Peter Shaffer made famous in cinema by Milos Forman (8 Oscars 1985), is THE event show of Théâtre Marigny, with direction by Olivier Solivérès.

Carried by a troupe of 13 artists: actors, opera singers and live musicians, Amadeus promises a spectacular and crazy theatrical fresco!

- Vienna, 2 November 1823 -

An old man claims to have killed Mozart 32 years ago. His name: Antonio Salieri. He is the official composer to the Emperor and servant of God, to whom everything succeeds. Until the day he meets a dazzling prodigy, an insolent, obscene, uncontrollable genius... yet traversed by music of divine purity: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! Faced with such talent, Salieri lets himself be consumed as much by jealousy as by admiration. He will have only one goal left: to silence him.

Thus begins the putting to death of a genius, proving the extent to which human beings are capable of the best as well as the worst.

A revisited adaptation of a legendary play, to (re)discover at Théâtre Marigny from 7 October 2026 for 50 exceptional performances!
