In a time when we all could use an escape from reality, music can transport us to another place and time. Rock Me Amadeus is a new show that combines classics from different centuries. It brings the grandeur of classical music, the opulence of opera and the powerful emotions of classic rock and pop songs into one electrifying concert experience. Internationally-acclaimed opera soprano Alyson Cambridge and rock guitar virtuoso/composer Tony Bruno join forces to create and co-produce Rock Me Amadeus, blending an all-star cast of rock, pop and classical vocalists and instrumentalists with a full rock band, symphony orchestra and choir. The show is currently slated to open in summer 2021 in New York City. Video teasers with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage will be released via the show's Website, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube from October through May to give fans a taste of the exciting experience to come.

Having worked together in past shows, Cambridge and Bruno saw the synergy of bringing their two genres together. They decided to create a massive concert experience that fans of all ages and tastes would enjoy. Cambridge says, "Rock Me Amadeus is the perfect way to make classical music and opera music sexy and cool, and to bring a whole other level of phenomenon to rock music. The fusion of the two is like org*sms for your ears!"

The show takes the audience on a musical journey, merging classic rock songs with the classical masters. Iconic rock songs from Led Zeppelin, Journey, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith and Nirvana are uniquely mashed up with classical music by the rockstars of centuries past, including Mozart, Beethoven and Puccini.
