Playedby Tom Hulce, also known as Larry "Pinto" Kroger in Animal House!!

On the keyboard, he quotes Non Piu Andrai, from Le Nozze de Figaro. An opera that is bass-friendly, unlike others outside of Russian opera, which mostly befuddles me (the words anyway).

The commisioned opera "Abduction from the Seraglio" has a big bass part but it's for the slimy Osmin.

F Murray Abraham (Salieri) later tells the truth about Mozart's music.

It is the "voice of God"

I tell my Christian friends to get familiar with Mozart's music, because that's what's played in heaven. And if there's no heaven, or I don't go there (I am Buddhist, after all) then I will have enjoyed the very best part of it right here.
