Amadeus Stage Adaptation Nominated for Molières 2026 at Théâtre Marigny

Peter Shaffer's "Amadeus," famously adapted into an Oscar-winning film by Milos Forman, is now a major stage production at Théâtre Marigny in Paris, directed by Olivier Solivérès. The play features a troupe of 14 artists including actors, opera singers, and live musicians. Set in Vienna on November 2, 1823, the story follows Antonio Salieri, the official composer to the Emperor, who confesses to having murdered Mozart 32 years earlier out of jealousy and admiration for the prodigy's divine music. The production has been nominated for the Molières 2026 awards, with actor Jérôme Kircher winning the Molière for Best Actor in a Private Theater Performance. The show promises a spectacular and unconventional theatrical fresco.
