Amadeus

BRUTAL. BRILLIANT. MOZART. A world-famous theatrical classic in a surprisingly new guise. Vienna, eighteenth century. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart makes his entrance at the court of Emperor Joseph II. He is young, bold, unpredictable, and blessed with a talent that eclipses all others. At the imperial court, he thoroughly shakes up the dignified music world… and not everyone is equally pleased about it. Among them is Antonio Salieri, the celebrated court composer who immediately recognizes a genius in Mozart. His admiration slowly gives way to jealousy and leads us into a bustling world full of court intrigues, gossip, ambition, and betrayal. L&J Theater brings Peter Shaffers's world-famous theatrical classic to the Kempen and gives it a completely unique face. The splendor and pageantry of eighteenth-century Vienna meet a fresh performance style, sparkling humor, and a surprising amount of music. Singing, choir, and opera fragments make Amadeus much more than a classic theatrical performance.
