The Candle Theater

Till the advent of electricity, The European stage glowed with the soft hues of candles and oil lamps. The plays were mostly staged in restaurants for the elite and the nobles. The concept of front curtain was unheard of and set and costume changes were done on stage itself. In Mozart Salieri you will find that we have skillfully used artificial lights to enhance the effect of the candle on the proscenium stage while the original concept of candle theater, its lighting , stage setting , science and costume changes etc have been strictly adhered to. Thus we intend to take you back in time to the Eighteenth century not just to view a story set in that period but also to experience the period as the audience too.

Based on

Peter Schaffer’s Play “Amadeus”
& Alexander Purshkin’s “ Little Tragedy”
