Cine-concert Amadeus LIVE

"For those who have seen the film before, Amadeus Live is a wonderful way to experience it. For those watching it for the first time – what a delight!" – Broadway World

After performances at the New York Philharmonic and Royal Albert Hall London, the film Amadeus (dir. Miloš Forman, 1984), depicting the life and work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, will be screened at the Transilvania International Film Festival (June 13–22, 2025, Cluj-Napoca). The soundtrack will be performed live by the Cluj-Napoca National Opera Orchestra, conducted by Dutch maestro Ernst van Tiel, with the extraordinary participation of the Madrigal – Marin Constantin National Chamber Choir.

Winner of 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor in a Leading Role (F. Murray Abraham), Amadeus (1984) is a grand journey into Austrian high society and the life and mind of one of history’s most important composers. The story is told from the perspective of Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham), the court composer for Emperor Joseph II of Austria. Fascinated yet scandalized by the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce), Salieri recognizes Mozart’s divine talent but also his own inability to match it. This realization drives him into a dangerous obsession to destroy the young composer.

The film’s exceptional soundtrack, based on Mozart’s music, will be performed live by the Cluj-Napoca National Opera Orchestra, conducted by Ernst van Tiel. Known for his versatility and mastery in both classical music and film scores, van Tiel has collaborated with orchestras such as Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

This impressive artistic performance will be further enhanced by the extraordinary participation of the Madrigal – Marin Constantin National Chamber Choir, one of the world’s most renowned choral ensembles.

The film will be screened with English and Romanian subtitles.
