The modern classic explores the rivalry between composers Salieri and Mozart. According to the Alley, "Close to death and fearing that God has abandoned him, Salieri confesses his rage, envy, vengeance and regrets. The complex world of religious faith, moral standards, genuine inspiration and artistic expression are illuminated through a series of theatrical flashbacks seen from Salieri’s perspective. Salieri’s scandalous and spellbinding tale culminates when the righteous ambitions of a mediocre musician are focused on the tragic destruction of a man graced with heavenly genius, Mozart."

Tickets are available by visiting AlleyTheatre. The Alley Theatre is located at 615 Texas Avenue in Houston, TX.
