Amadeus, a Hit at the North Coast Rep

When the lights went up we met an old and disabled Antonio Salieri in a wheel chair. From that moment he dominates the stage with his powerful presence, strong voice, and excellent diction.  He talks about his first meeting with young Mozart, and openly confesses his jealously, and intense envy of Mozart’s outstanding talent. From then on Salieri dedicated his life to destroy his rival’s career and spoiling any chances of his success.

Hounding the Headlines: September 8, 2019

The one who is sold at a store.

You know it will cost you much more.
