We are honored to be premiering Duende at

A prolific Italian composer and conductor, known for his operas and choral works, Antonio Salieri was a pivotal figure in late 18th century opera. He served as the court composer in Vienna and mentored many famous musicians including Beethoven, Schubert, and Liszt.
Unfounded rumors of his envious rivalry with Mozart inspired the award-winning film Amadeus.
Robert Patricio portrays Salieri in our film Duende.

🚨 DUENDE ALERT 🚨

Promising MOZ drops a music video directly addressing SAL. He uses visual references to diss Sal’s last music video.

Is this the start of a new beef? Will Sal clap back?
Fans are claiming that Moz is the new GOAT, and that Sal is washed and corny. Who y’all got?
