Come celebrate one of the greatest composers of all time at the film concert of Amadeus on March 7 & 8, 2025, at La Seine Musicale (Paris). Under the direction of Mathieu Romano, the 90 musicians and singers of the Yellow Socks Orchestra & Choir will perform live the most iconic works of Mozart, perfectly synchronized with the screening of the film (subtitled in French) on the big screen.
Awarded 8 Oscars® in 1984 (including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay), Miloš Forman's masterpiece is a cinematic triumph. Amadeus is a sumptuous period film, celebrating the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, enhanced live by the power of the symphonic orchestra and choir!
Adapted from Peter Shaffer's play, the film Amadeus remains true to it and perfectly depicts the contrast between "the sublimity of Mozart's music and the vulgar buffoonery of his letters, which seem to have been written by an eight-year-old child."
"Amadeus tells a fable that is as beautiful as it is tragic (...) There is blood, a pact with God, fame, a masked stranger, murder, and pieces of music that are among the best ever written. What other film offers half of that?" (The Guardian).
"Close to perfection" (USA Today).
Show recommended for ages 13 and up.
Film with French subtitles on the big screen.
SYNOPSIS OF THE FILM
Amadeus tells the story of the court composer of Vienna, Antonio Salieri, and the jealousy that consumes him when he discovers that the divine musical talents he has dreamed of his entire life have been bestowed upon a young, ribald, vulgar, and mischievous composer, Mozart. Salieri's jealousy drives him to want to destroy this man while being unable to detach himself from the genius of his music.
Amadeus LIVE is a production of Avex Classics International and uGo&Play.
Program and cast
La Seine Musicale
La Seine Musicale is a music and performing arts center located on Île Seguin an island on the Seine river between Boulogne-Billancourt and Sèvres, in the western suburbs of Paris, France.
Adress: La Seine Musicale, Île Seguin, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France
Auditorium Patrick Devedjian
Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.
Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...
From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.
From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.
Its Acoustics
Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.
Its Design
Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.
Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
