According to this article on Channelnewsasia.com, Antonio Salieri’s music is making a return to the stage.

“The vast refurbishment of Milan’s La Scala opera house will be disclosed Tuesday with the appropriately named work — “Europe Revealed” — with which the house was inaugurated 226 years ago.

“Europe Revealed,” or “Europa Riconosciuta,” is by Antonio Salieri, then court composer in Vienna, the capital of the empire of which Milan formed part and in modern times the villain of Peter Schaeffer’s fantasia about the life and death of Mozart, “Amadeus”. Salieri’s music is now rarely performed and “Europe Revealed” had been dropped completely from La Scala’s repertoire.

Also according to the article, “The reopening is the occasion for a series of special events and exhibitions, including one on the rather thin relationship between Mozart and Salieri, the man much maligned as his killer. ”

I thought that was just in the movie.
