Don’t miss the chance to see the sumptuous period epic Amadeus on the big screen with Mozart’s celebrated works performed live by the Lyric Opera Orchestra and Chorus. Winner of eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, the film tells the riveting story of composer Antonio Salieri and the envy that consumes him upon discovering the divine musical gifts he has so longed for all of his life have been bestowed on a bawdy, impish young composer, Mozart. Salieri’s envy fuels his plot to destroy the man, while finding himself unable to resist the genius of his music.

Brett Mitchell will make his Lyric debut conducting Amadeus, which will feature the Lyric Opera Orchestra and the Lyric Opera Chorus.
