Written by Peter Shaffer, AMADEUS, the extraordinary story of two of the most unforgettable composers in music history, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri, is back on stage for its 7th season!

Directed by acclaimed theatre director Işıl Kasapoğlu, this remarkable co-production by Çolpan İlhan-Sadri Alışık Tiyatrosu and Piu Entertainment invites audiences into a dramatic and striking theatrical experience where Mozart’s genius and music intertwine with Salieri’s jealousy and obsession.

Starring Selçuk Yöntem as Antonio Salieri, Tansu Biçer as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Dilan Deniz Çiçek & Özlem Öçalmaz as Constanze Weber, AMADEUS is one of the most talked-about productions of the season, featuring a spectacular cast of 70. After six seasons of sold-out performances, the production has reached an audience of 450,000.

As the young and brilliant composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart captivates all of Europe with his extraordinary talent, court composer Antonio Salieri is filled with both admiration and jealousy when he compares his own abilities to Mozart’s dazzling genius. Salieri’s inner conflict and Mozart’s free spirit unfold into an unforgettable story woven with passion, ambition, and tragedy. Told from Salieri’s perspective, the play sheds light on Mozart’s life, exploring the delicate line between music, jealousy, power, and death.
