“Mozart, Madness and Magnificence” Classical Five-Course Banquet Experience
Mozart, Madness and Magnificence is the grand finale experience of Asheville’s week-long celebration of the life and music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Dine in a sumptuous Viennese setting with classical music, opera singer and the star actors performing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his wife Constanze Mozart from NC Stage’s performance Amadeus.
Lavish, opulent and unabashedly dramatic, this will be an affair to remember for a lifetime. Centered under its gold ceiling, an 18ft long banquet table is lavishly dressed in velvets with baroque candelabras and ornate floral arrangements. French Limoges china, fine silver cutlery and vintage cut crystal glasses are elegantly laid out for 22 guests while costumed servants will present an extravagant feast. Seated at the banquet are special guests Mozart and Constanze providing amusing madness to the evening’s entertainment of music and conversation.
