WXXI Classical Presents... Amadeus!
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Charity Lofthouse (Associate Professor of Music, Hobart and William Smith Colleges), Brock Tjosvold (Assistant Professor of Vocal Coaching, Eastman School of Music; vocal coach, Finger Lakes Opera), and Rebecca Burditt (Associate Professor of Media and Society, Hobart and William Smith Colleges) hosted by WXXI's Mona Seghatoleslami.
Milos Forman’s 1984 biography of Mozart celebrates its 40th Anniversary with a luminous new 4K restoration of the original theatrical cut, courtesy The Academy Film Archive! Winner of 8 Academy Awards, including “Best Picture."
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce) is a remarkably talented young Viennese composer who unwittingly finds a fierce rival in the disciplined and determined Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham). Resenting Mozart for both his hedonistic lifestyle and his undeniable talent, the highly religious Salieri is gradually consumed by his jealousy and becomes obsessed with Mozart’s downfall, leading to a devious scheme that has dire consequences for both men.
WXXI Classical Presents:
Each year WXXI Classical presents a series of films that are related to classical music in some way. Selected by our classical music hosts Brenda Tremblay, Mona Seghatoleslami, and Steve Johnson each film chosen exemplifies the power of music in a non-traditional narrative. Films are often preceded by subject-related live music in The Little Cafe or followed by live panel discussion following the film.
