莫扎特之死

The death of Mozart

根据彼得·莎佛(Peter Shaffer)1979年的同名话剧改编的电影《莫扎特》(Amadeus,1984)活灵活现地让广大观众看到欧洲最伟大的音乐奇才、上帝的宠儿是怎么被宫廷乐师长萨利耶里(Antonio Salieri)害死的。虽然大家都知道艺术不等于历史,但是很多人相信艺术除了人名是假的,其他都是真的;

Mozart's death has always been shrouded in mystery.Rumors had it that Salieri had a hand in Mozart's demise,even Pushkin wrote a play entitled Mozart and Salieri.Years later,the mystery became topical again with Peter Schaffer's play Amadeus,whose film adaptation caught the world's imagination.
