Amadeus – National Theatre at Home

Music. Power. Jealousy. Welcome to Vienna.  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a rowdy young prodigy, arrives determined to make a splash.

Awestruck by his genius, court composer Antonio Salieri has the power to promote his talent or destroy it. Seized by obsessive jealousy he begins a war with Mozart, with music and, ultimately, with God.

Amadeus is the National Theatre Showing for this week. Peter Shaffer’s iconic play had its premiere at the National Theatre in 1979, winning multiple Olivier and Tony awards before being adapted into an Academy Award-winning film.

Available to watch on YouTube from 7pm tonight until 7pm on Thursday 23rd July.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaEP2zn4bRE
