We’ve invited all of the major players: Rimsky-Korsakov, Pushkin, Mozart and Salieri. It’s high time these four had it out! And the mediator, of course – ensuring that truth prevails as they grapple with thoughts on Life + Death, Genius + Jealousy – is none other than Clio, the lyre-strumming Muse of History. But first: who was Salieri? And how did he become the archetype of jealousy and… a criminal? What really happened between Mozart (the genius) and Salieri (the beloved teacher)? Not to mention: could such a person, a mentor to the likes of Schubert and Beethoven, commit as heinous a crime of passion? So many questions to ponder as we witness Rimsky-Korsakov’s rarely performed, one-act opera Mozart and Salieri. As if that wasn’t enough, we’ve invited Mussorgsky (and his Songs and Dances of Death) to weigh in too: “Life, wherever it reveals itself; truth, no matter how bitter… these are what I want.” And so do we!
