“Amadeus” triumphs as gripping human drama, sumptuous period epic, glorious celebration of the music of Mozart. It’s 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.
The Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra is celebrating its 51st season by presenting the movie Amadeus a few weeks prior to its February 26 Mozart Requiem at the Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church. More information on the concert is available on the symphony website.
The York Theatre, a restored 1924 movie theatre now with ten screens, is operated by Classic Cinemas, a family-owned company operated by Willis, Shirley and Chris Johnson. For more information on Classic Cinemas visit www.classiccinemas.com.
