Put on your masks and join us for an epic screening of Amadeus and a Masquerade Ball that would make Mozart blush! F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce star in Miloš Forman’s epic masterpiece of genius, madness, music, love, and jealousy. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a remarkably talented young Viennese composer who unwittingly finds a fierce rival in the disciplined and determined Antonio Salieri. 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. The winner of countless awards, including 8 Academy Awards, this breathtaking spectacle is not to be missed!
Doors will open at 6:00pm. Join us for signature refreshments and all the Rococo vibes. There will be a costume contest at the start of the program and the lucky winner will win exclusive Cinegogue merch, so dress (and mask) to impress!
