The award winning film, Amadeus (Director’s Cut, Rated R, 2h 40m) presented with live orchestra and chorale. Hear this famous score played Live while you watch the film on a giant screen above the stage.
Amadeus (1984) stars F. Murray Abraham as Antonio Salieri, court composer in Vienna, who confesses, in old age, to his sins against the young genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (played by Tom Hulce).
Mozart (1756-1791) comes alive in all his mischief and glory in Miloš Forman’s fanciful film-biography. It’s prize-winning score, including portions of The Magic Flute, the Requiem in D minor, Don Giovanni, Symphony No. 25 in G minor, and much more, is ‘one of the most popular classical music recordings of all time.’ Hear it performed live by Symphony San Jose and the Symphony San Jose Chorale, as you watch the Academy Award-winning film unfold on the big screen above the stage.
Considered one of the greatest films of all time, Amadeus was nominated for 53 awards and received 40, including eight Academy Awards, four British Academy Film Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, and a Directors Guild of America award.
It is the most recent film to have more than one Academy Award nominations in the Best Actor category. Both F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce were nominated, with Abraham winning the Oscar for his portrayal of Salieri. It also won for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay (based on Peter Shaffer’s play of the same name), Best Sound, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Makeup.
