Who Played Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Amadeus

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a role in Amadeus, a play that opened Broadway in 1980.

'Amadeus' is set two hundred and fifty years ago in the count of the Austrian Emperor and details an ongoing confrontation between Antonio Salieri, the mediocre but established court composer and the volatile Mozart. Salieri displays his jealousy and hatred during the course of the play as he attempts to destroy and discredit Mozart. This classic tale of genius vs. mediocrity is a historical masterpiece and was the winner of both a Tony and Oscar for best play and movie.
