Did Mozart really laugh like that? Was Salieri truly such a jealous, murderous jerk? Real musicians weigh in on the veracity of Peter Shaffer’s iconic film.

Our roundtable discussion includes Josh Shaw, the charismatic and knowledgeable Artistic Director of Pacific Opera Project — which will produce Salieri’s La Scuola de’ Gelosi in mid-January. Share your thoughts and ask us anything as active participants in the conversation — or simply listen in.

You can watch the movie beforehand or press play at 6 PM sharp, chatting with us on Zoom. We’ll then take a quick bathroom and snack-refill break and reconvene on Zoom at 9:05 for the discussion.

You can rent the Director’s Cut on Amazon Prime Video here for $3.79. It’s free to join us on Zoom. You must register by clicking the button below to receive the Zoom link.
