Before Milos Forman's film, before Peter Shaffer's play, there was Pushkin's Mozart and Salieri.
One of the Russian poet's greatest works, this brief "Little Tragedy" is a gem of world theatre. Exploring the turbulent relationship between two great composers, it is a story of mania, music, jealousy and murder. Co-organised by the Cambridge University Italian Society and the annual International Theatre Festival, this free English-language production is a celebration of Pushkin's work and life, an evening of performance, music with a special critical introduction.
"My dear friend, genius and villainy are two things incompatible. Don't you agree?"
