Experience the multi-Academy Award-winning film Amadeus with Mozart’s music performed live by the Orchestra and Chorus of Opera North.
Winner of eight Academy Awards® including Best Picture, Milos Foreman’s sumptuous Amadeus is an aural and visual treat for all the senses, and a soaring celebrating of the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It tells the story of envious fellow composer Antonio Salieri, who has longed all his life for the divine musical gifts which the vulgar, impish young Mozart possesses. Salieri’s envy fuels his plot to destroy Mozart, while all the while unable to tear himself away from the genius of his music.
“Amadeus weaves a beautiful, tragic fable, enchanting to children and adults alike. It has gore, a pact with God, celebrity, a masked stranger, murder and some of the best music ever written. What other film offers half as much?”
