Thursday & Friday, January 10 & 11: 
Experience the multi-Academy Award® winning 1984 motion picture, Amadeus on a vast HD screen while Mozart’s most celebrated works are performed live in-sync by Hawai`i Symphony Orchestra and the Oahu Choral Society.  Winner of 8 Academy Awards® including Best Picture, Milos Foreman’s sumptuous Amadeus is an aural and visual treat for all the senses. Adapted from Peter Shaffer’s original stage play, Amadeus the motion picture, stays true to its origins highlighting the contrast between, as Shaffer himself described, “the sublimity of his [Mozart] music and the vulgar buffoonery of his letters” which, “read like something written by an eight-year-old.”  “Amadeus weaves a beautiful, tragic fable, enchanting to children and adults alike. It has gore, a pact with God, celebrity, a masked stranger, murder and some of the best music ever written. What other film offers half as much?” (The Guardian). Blaisdell Concert Hall, 777 Ward Ave., Honolulu.  7:30 p.m. both nights. For tickets and information call (808) 380-7724 or visit www.hawaiisymphonyorchestra.org.
