Playlist: Dueling Masters—Mozart and Salieri
The intertwined lives of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri have inspired a play, a movie, and now a TV series. We’ve curated a selection the 18th-century composers’ greatest works.
Press play on a curated LA Phil playlist inspired by the world of Mozart and Salieri and brought to you by the STARZ Original Series Amadeus, which premieres on May 8.
The new series stars Will Sharpe as Mozart and Paul Bettany as Salieri. Arriving in Vienna in search of creative freedom, Mozart finds love, success, and a formidable rival in court composer Salieri. As jealousy grows, admiration turns into obsession, leading to a haunting confession.
Amadeus premieres May 8 only on STARZ and the STARZ app. Plus, experience Amadeus in Concert, featuring a live-to-screen performance of Miloš Forman’s Oscar-winning film with the Los Angeles Philharmonic on Thursday, September 3, at the Hollywood Bowl.
