 | | |  |  | | | Amadeus Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a gifted Viennese composer who finds a rival in the disciplined Antonio Salieri. Resenting Mozart for both his hedonistic lifestyle and talent, Salieri is consumed by envy and becomes obsessed with Mozart's downfall. Genius and jealousy collide in this Tony Award winning play. See this production at the Folger Theatre through December 22. Photography by Brittany Diliberto. |  | |  |  | |  |  | | For years, Cultural Tourism DC encouraged people to experience the real DC and enjoy authentic experiences within the District. In just 11 months, unless you take the time to apply for a Real ID, local experiences may be your only tourism options. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will begin enforcing new federal minimum-security standards on October 1, 2020. Without a Real ID, it may be difficult for you to board a plane. A star, located at the top of your driver's license, denotes that it is a Real ID. Wherever your travels take you, enjoy a really, really good time. | | | |  |  | |
