The play starts with two characters set the stage for the entire play. They are shocked of a young gentleman, Antonio Salieri, who was able to write his first symphony and attended a concert when he was still young, but he worried that Mozart’s work would outshine him, and therefore, decides to investigate. He also learns that Mozart had also become engaged against his father’s wishes to Constanze Weber. Having attended the concert where Mozart was to perform. Salieri becomes envious of Mozart having being invited to write an opera for emperor Joseph, and this sets the stage of the hatred between the two characters until when Mozart complain to Constanze that he was poisoned by Salieri and eventually dies

The first scene is when Mozart and Salieri are at the emperor’s place. The characters in the scene are Salieri, Mozart, and Emperor Joseph and Constanze. Mozart and Constanze cloths are bright and elegant. The emperor is dressed in expensive clothes as well as ornaments symbolizing royalty. Salieri is dressed in wigs and costumes which are less elaborate. When Salieri is telling the emperor to be allowed the opportunity to compose the opera, Salieri is annoyed by the abusive words used by Mozart. He finds inspiration in his own words“I would set the legend of Danaus, who, for a monstrous crime, was chained to a rock for eternity, his head repeatedly struck by lightning…” both Constanze and Mozart are shocked by Salieri’s utterances. The scene is made of royal staffs such as role chairs

The second scene when Mozart, Constanze, and Salieri meet at the patron’s home. The two characters engage in an argument which leaves Constanze in tears, and she is consoled by Mozart’s who says “Beat me. Beat me….. I’ll just stand here like a little lamb and bear your strokes”.  Salieri is further embarrassed for being unable to be in control of the situation reading from his facial expression while Constanze feels relaxed. Mozart and Constanze cloths are bright and elegant, and items in the scene are well organized. For instance, the chairs are well placed to permit more natural movements

The play is conducted in line with the roles that were to be played by the different characters and the transition from one scene to another does not lose the flow of the story.  Although the play is in tandem with the theme to be addressed there are certain scenes especially the start of the play which leaves the audience gauzing how the characters are represented in the play. this could have been made better if the play would have started with an introduction of the characters
