Amadeus – Gala Fundrasier

general428 — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:50:00 +0000

Join Kaleidoscope this April for Peter Shaffer’s Tony Award-winning thrilling and wickedly sharp play inspired by the historical circumstances of the artistic and personal rivalry between Viennese court composers Antonio Salieri and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Close to death and fearing that God has abandoned him, Salieri confesses his rage, envy, vengeance and regrets.

The complex world of religious faith, moral standards, genuine inspiration and artistic expression are illuminated through a series of theatrical flashbacks seen from Salieri’s perspective. Salieri’s scandalous and spellbinding tale culminates when the righteous ambitions of a mediocre musician are focused on the tragic destruction of a man graced with heavenly genius, Mozart.

Featuring a large 35 person cast directed by CTV’s Stephen Andrew featuring Roderick Glanville as Salieri, Pat Rundell as Mozart, and Candace Woodland as Constanze.
