| I have a copy of the first edition and Aloysia Weber is not a character in it. But she is referenced by other characters, and it is stated that the sisters in "Cosi Fan Tutte" are Aloysia and Constanze. While the character of Aloysia Weber was never included in any of Peter Shaffer's various versions of "Amadeus", there is a character in the first edition script that was cut from the Broadway production. A character called Greybig - This was Salieri's servant and originally Salieri sent him to commission the Requiem Mass from Mozart. Shaffer realized that the character was unnecessary, so for the Broadway production - and every revision after - Salieri wears the hood and cloak and seeks Mozart out himself. |
