Amadeus
by Penfold Theatre Company

Mar. 24 - Apr. 09, 2022
Thursdays-Sundays

Antonio Salieri, the religiously devoted court composer of the Austrian Emperor, still waits for the heavenly gift he most desires: true musical brilliance. Then Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a crass and rowdy young prodigy, arrives in Vienna determined to make a splash. Awestruck by his genius and seized by obsessive jealousy, Salieri begins a war with Mozart, with music, and ultimately, with God.

A total iridescent triumph of complexity of thought, emotion and dramatic power.” – New York 

The cast includes Kareem Badr as Saileri, Diego Arroyo Aceves as Mozart, Karina Dominguez as Constanza, Chuck Winkler as Emperor Joseph/Cook/Ensemble, Miranda Marquez as Von Strack/Katherina Cavalieri/Ensemble, Bryce Bartu as Orsini Rosenberg/Valet/Ensemble, Ev Lunning as Van Swieten/Bonno/Ensemble, Natalie Blackmanas Venticelli 1/Ensemble, and Lena Hill as Venticelli 2/Ensemble.

Giving a close-up view of one of history’s greatest composers, Amadeus by Peter Shaffer will feature the different sounds of Mozart from original to new with a “hip-hop” remix of Mozart’s classics from local composer Michael Moret. In contrast, the one-time Sunday, April 3 performance with the Central Texas Philharmonic will play Mozart’s original music with a 40-person orchestra as the play unfolds. 

Directed by Liz Fisher. 

 The production team  includes costume design by Aaron Flynn, sound and lighting design by Carlos Nine, set design by Gary Thornsberry, music direction by Claudia Chapa, and technical direction by Kellan DiDonato. Kelsey Moringy is Stage Manager and Kat Kennedy is Production Manager.
