Amadeus aficionados will have hundreds of events to choose from in New York, Paris, Berlin, London, Prague, Vienna and scores of other cities.

On Jan. 27, the day the composer was born in 1756, New York's Metropolitan Opera will present a revival of last season's new Julie Taymor production of "The Magic Flute" and the New York Philharmonic will debut a three-week "Magic of Mozart" tribute.

But Mozart Central will be Salzburg, where all 22 of his operas will be performed at the Salzburg Festival next summer. An enormous birthday bash on Jan. 27 is expected to draw Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other dignitaries. And through the year, Salzburg will host 260 concerts and 55 Masses devoted to Mozart's sacred music.
