Nonsense. Without the movie sparking interest in Salieri he would be totally forgotten. Everyone understands that the film is fictional; now they're curious: who was this Salieri, and what was he really like? Now if someone could do the same for Meyerbeer ...

Thank you for posting this.

Dear gspaulsson, Antonio Salieri was never forgotten, especially in the homeland. In other countries he became a victim of that slander who is a basis of "Amadeus": it was born in lifetime of Salieri, in Russia, for example, it was extended by Pushkin, and, certainly, many asked a question: unless it is possible to play music of Mozart's murderer?

Tarare is, no doubt, Salieri's masterpiece. It's a shame that this work is never heard at opera houses. The libretto by Beaumarchais is full of simbolisms and the music of Salieri is really awesome here. Please search and read the Preface for Tarare, written by Beaumarchais, describing the hard impositions he put on Salieri about how the music should be, and what he thinks about what Salieri did.

Il a ecrit "Les Danaides" aussi.

By the second half of the 18th century, the Ottoman Turks were a broken reed as far as military power was concerned. However, high European culture was undergoing a fascination with orientalism, which included a curiosity toward exotic seraglios, Turkish fashions, "oriental despotism," etc...

To BARBARAPLOYER333:

Yes, they were. The Turks were attempting to expand Westward at the time. Rent a copy of "The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen" for further perspective.

Is it just me, or were opera based upon plots that were related to the Middle-East very in-style at the time? Mozart's "Abduction of the Seraglio" was also based upon a plot that is includes occurrences in the Middle-East, you know...

I agree completely. Salieri sounds OK to me.
