EVENINGS OF CLASSICAL MUSIC - BAHRAIN - |
PROGRAMME FOR 31 JULY 2002 |
AMADEUS Screenplay and Original Stage Play by Peter Schaffer |
AMADEUS triumphs as a gripping human drama, sumptuous period epic, glorious celebration of the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - and as winner of eight 1984 Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It is 1781, and Antonio Salieri is the competent court composer to Emperor Joseph II. When Mozart arrives at court, Salieri is horrified to discover that the godlike musical gifts he desires for himself have been bestowed on a bawdy, impish jokester. Mad with envy, he plots to destroy Mozart by any means. Perhaps, even murder. AMADEUS, produced by Saul Zaentz and directed by Milos Forman, stars F. Murray Abraham (Salieri), Tom Hulce (Mozart), Elizabeth Berridge (Konstanze), Simon Callow, Roy Dotrice, Christine Ebersole, Jeffrey Jones and Charles Kay. The music is conducted and supervised by Neville Marriner. |
