Question 1

“MOZART!!!” - How would you design this scene?

Answer 1

Use white foot lights as a figure of Mozart appears behind Salieri - symbolises the overarching guilt Salieri holds for Mozart’s death + the looming topic of Mozart years after his death + white light to make Mozart an angelic figuer compared to a sinful Salieri

Question 2

“Venticello 1/Venticello 2” - How would you direct this scene?

Answer 2

• Have the two venticellos circle Salieri’s wheelchair - symbolises the scandal still circling around Salieri’s mind
• As they deliver lines talk to the audience as well as one another - Brechtican (Mr Silly) fourth wall break + immersing the audience into the story
