I do not know if you would call the stage production of ‘Amadeus’ as a cool event, but I take it that anything that strikes you as terrific, amazing and enjoyable is ‘cool’. According to this interpretation I would choose seeing one of the stage productions on the life of Mozart as cool, indeed. Of course, the movie is unforgettable but one cannot expect that kind of effect to be produced on stage. Some times I feel that I liked the stage version as much as I do the movie, which I have seen several times. One is left to wonder whether it could be really true that some one would have been so envious of Mozart that he would plot to see him dead. I can never understand how, Mozart who had so many wealthy, influential admirers was given a pauper’s burial. That will always be an enduring grief for me.
