Set in bustling 18th century Vienna, the drama follows Mozart as he arrives seeking creative freedom, sparking admiration, scepticism and obsession in equal measure.<\/p>\n
As his talent flourishes in spite of personal demons and a questionable reputation, Salieri\u2019s envy becomes all-consuming, resulting in a rivalry that spans 30 years and ends in a confession of murder.<\/p>\n
The ensemble cast features a strong lineup including Rory Kinnear, Lucy Cohu, Jonathan Aris, \u00c9ny\u00ec Okoronkwo and Jessica Alexander.<\/p>\n
It also stars Hugh Sachs, Paul Bazely, Rupert Vansittart, Anastasia Martin, Nancy Farino, Olivia-Mai Barrett, Viola Prettejohn and Jyuddah Jaymes, rounding out a cast of seasoned performers and rising talents.<\/p>\n
