3. “Amadeus”

“Amadeus” on Saturday will broadcast live in high definition from the National Theatre in London to Marion Ross Performing Arts Center, 147 N. Broadway Ave.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a rowdy young prodigy, arrives in Vienna, the music capital of the world, and he’s determined to make a splash. Awestruck by his genius, court composer Antonio Salieri has the power to promote his talent or destroy his name. Seized by obsessive jealousy, he begins a war with Mozart, with music, and ultimately with God.

After winning multiple Olivier and Tony Awards when it had its premiere at the National Theatre in 1979, “Amadeus” was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $12 for students.

The show begins at 7 p.m.

4. Paul Walech-Roth art exhibit

An exhibit featuring the work of Rochester artist Paul Walech-Roth will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday and Saturday at The Albert Lea Art Center, 226 W. Clark St.

Walech-Roth creates abstract art and is inspired by the works of abstract expressionists after World War II.

5. “Rebirth Out of the Ashes”

“Rebirth Out of the Ashes,” an exhibition by St. Peter artist Michelle Kaisersatt, will be open from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Freeborn County Arts Initiative, 224 S. Broadway.

Kaisersatt is a clay artist who makes everything from bowls and plates to vases and urns.

The show continues through April 22.
