FACE/OFF: The classic tale of one-sided musical rivalry comes alive in Opera San Jose's opening performance.

Opera San Jose starts their 2021-22 season in dramatic fashion with Mozart & Salieri, the 1890s story by Rimsky-Korsakov of a brash young composer, Antonio Salieri, who is rumored to have poisoned rival composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart over musical fame. The legend depicts deadly jealousy, a poisoned chalice and a sitting room confrontation, and it all comes to life in cinematic fashion via Opera SJ’s streamable performance. The one-act play will becomes available Thursday, with each rental lasting 30 days. The $65 VIP pass includes an opening night online launch party featuring cast and crew of the show.
