Some critics and commentators justifiably believe Forman's movie is overlong and slipshod with its flashback structure using Salieri as its prism. There is ... purpose in the filmmaker's project to make Mozart's life an example of how genius is sometimes cast together with less desirable characteristics in completely unsympathetic people.

This summer, Bampton Classical Opera in the Cotswolds staged Salieri's Falstaff, which managed not to be annihilated by comparison with Verdi's benign, autumnal version of The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Salieri once more sympathises with the underlings, and - like Mozart in Le nozze di Figaro - looks at the intrigue from the point of view of the weary servants.

In Vienna in the 1790s, Mozart accused Salieri of plagiarism and of attempting to murder him with poison. As Mozart's music became more popular over the decades and Salieri's music was forgotten, Mozart's unsubstantiated allegations gained credence and tarnished Salieri's reputation.
