@STRAZ CENTER
Lucian Msamati (Luther, Game of Thrones, NT Live: The Comedy of Errors) plays Salieri in
Peter Shaffer’s iconic play, broadcast live from the National Theatre, and with live orchestral
accompaniment by Southbank Sinfonia. 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 lm.
