Skylight Music Theatre Presents 'Amadeus': Mozart, Madness, and Milwaukee
The Patron Saint of Mediocrity
If you only know Amadeus from the 1984 movie, you owe it to yourself to see it on stage. Milwaukee's Skylight Music Theatre is mounting a new production of Peter Shaffer's masterpiece, running from Jan 23 to Feb 8.
Why 'Amadeus' Still Resonates
At its core, the play isn't really about Mozart. It's about Salieri—the man who is talented enough to recognize genius, but not talented enough to create it. It is a story of professional jealousy that feels incredibly modern in the age of social media comparison.
The Skylight Touch
Skylight is known for integrating live music seamlessly into their plays. Expect this production to feature live performances of Mozart's Requiem and The Magic Flute, elevating the drama with the very music that drives Salieri mad.
Tickets are selling fast for what promises to be the cultural highlight of Milwaukee's winter season.
