    Great film and music - poor choice of concessions!

    by Amadea on 2024-03-11Meridian Hall - Toronto

    The film was, of course, wonderful. The accompaniment with live orchestral music and chorus definitely enhanced the experience. I don’t think there was a bad seat in the venue, given the size of the screen and the acoustics. The experience was marred, however, by the unfortunate decision to sell popcorn as a concession. Throughout the performance it was impossible not to hear spectators crinkling their bags and rustling around as they dove in to grab their popcorn. Or opening their cans of pop or beer in the performance hall. It would have been preferable to open cans at the concession stand outside before bringing them into the hall and selling snacks other than popcorn. I would suggest pretzels and champagne (as they do at the Semper Oper in Dresden). There wasn’t even sparkling wine available, even though it was on the drinks list. I appreciate that the performance involved screening a film with musical accompaniment, but it might have been more appropriate to treat it as a concert from the point of view of bringing food and drink into the hall.

    Outstanding

    by Rossana on 2024-03-11Meridian Hall - Toronto

    I went with my entire family, including my 10 & 12 year old boys. We all loved the orchestra from beginning to end. What a gift! It was splendid.

    Great Experience, Awful Movie

    by Melanie on 2024-03-11Meridian Hall - Toronto

    As always, the live orchestra playing in accompaniment of the movie was absolutely wonderful. The only downside this time was that the movie was absolutely terrible. And they had subtitles playing through the whole movie...which was already in English.

    The Seats were the Drawback

    by Plee on 2024-03-11Meridian Hall - Toronto

    It was a great show. The orchestra and choir were fantastic. Unfortunately, the seats were uncomfortable. They were not as spacious and as comfortable as the ones at the Four Seasons for Performing Arts. Any movie theatre seats are more comfortable than the ones at the Meridian Hall.

    A cool experience

    by Trulyhopelessromantic on 2017-11-23Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Having a live orchestra AND choir truly enhances the experience of this film. I felt like I was in the film at points watching Mozart conduct his music from the screen. Great choice for any fans of orchestral performances, 18th Century music and/or Mozart himself! Heck great choice especially for any Salieri fans too!

    Amadeus Live was fabulous!

    by MarJohn on 2017-11-23Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Amadeus Live was a fabulous production. The original movie, stripped of music and played on a large screen, was accompanied by members of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, University of Alberta Madrigal Singers, and Richard Eaton Singers. The music was perfectly in-sync. It was an overwhelming sensory experience overall that far exceeded my expectations.

    Mozart Live

    by MK10 on 2017-11-21Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Definitely not worth the money. Poor value for your dollar. You are better off getting the Blue Ray from the library and playing it with good speakers at home. Great movie overall but with terrible acting from Elizabeth Berridge (Constanze).

    We loved Amadeus Live!

    by MEHP on 2017-11-21Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    This was a unique experience. It's always been a favorite of ours ; seeing it with a live orchestra made it even more special.

    Amadeus

    by Tuppings on 2017-11-21Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Excellent with the symphony. The music was wonderful. The choir also sang lovely. It was a very neat experience that everyone should try.

    Unbelievably moving to see the depiction of Mozart's burial while all around us was the sound of his glorious music, played by live musicians, over 225 years after his death.

    Captivating to hear live Mozart music

    Amazing sound. Pleasantly surprised to see and hear a choir in the back bonus performances. Would love to see more like this. My beloved next.

    Amadeus was entertaining

    by Chubers on 2017-11-20Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    I hadn't seen the movie, only the play in 1983 and had loved it then, but it had been awhile. The movie was very well done and the orchestra playing and choir singing along was seamless. Beautiful music, a tragic tale, very moving. I highly recommend this show.

    Very enjoyable evening

    by RandyRandy on 2017-11-20Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Music and vocals were amazing. I kept forgetting that the score was live. I hadn’t realized they would play the entire movie. Had thought it would be clips here and there but this worked very well. It felt at bit awkward as there was no audience appreciation during the show, only at intermission and the end. Felt like I should applaud at certain points during the show but that would have interrupted the film dialogue.

    Perfect match of music and cinema

    by Anonymous on 2017-11-20Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    If you loved the movie or music of Mozart this is an amazingly great pairing , with each giving a rich life to the other. Loved it!

    Amadeus Live was phenomenal!

    by Rayone on 2016-11-06Sony Centre For The Performing Arts - Toronto

    The orchestra and the chorus were fantastic. The music blended into the movie seamlessly. The entire performance was exceptional. I would easily attend a similar performance again and again. The orchestra played beautifully and the chorus was amazing. The performers received a standing ovation at the end. When the movie per se was over and the credits were coming on the screen, the ovation by the audience continued on and on. It was a fantastic night.

    Amadeus Live was great!

    by Bessy on 2016-11-03Sony Centre For The Performing Arts - Toronto

    It was a completely different experience and we both truly enjoyed it. The orchestra was amazing as was the choir. We did find the captioning on the screen distracting. We had been informed that latecomers would be held back and brought in only at certain strategic spots in the performance. I found that latecomers were allowed in too often - it was very distracting. There should be more refreshment booths as many people had to return to their seats at the intermissions without being served as the line-ups were too long. Other theatres set up individuals selling water alone in the theatre and that would have helped.
