Description: (Italian Classical Composer, Conductor, and Teacher)
Antonio Salieri was a prominent Italian composer and teacher known for his influence during the classical period. He was instrumental in shaping late 18th-century opera, composing works in various languages. As the director of the Italian opera for the Habsburg court, Salieri left a lasting mark on Vienna's operatic landscape. Although his music lost popularity posthumously, his legacy experienced a revival in the late 20th century, thanks in part to his portrayal in the play "Amadeus."
