Penfold Theatre Company Announces AMADEUS Cast

Penfold Theatre Company has announced cast and creatives for Amadeus directed by new Associate Artistic Director Liz Fisher running March 24-April 9, 2022, at Ground Floor Theatre. A special one-time performance with the Central Texas Philharmonic will play Sunday, April 3 at the Klett Center for the Performing Arts in Georgetown.

Giving a close-up view of one of history's greatest composers, Amadeus 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. 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.

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

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 Blackman as Venticelli 1/Ensemble, and Lena Hill as Venticelli 2/Ensemble.

Written by Peter Shaffer and directed by Liz Fisher, the production team also 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, with Kelsey Moringy as Stage Manager and Kat Kennedy as Production Manager.

Antonio Salieri, the religiously devoted court composer of the Austrian Emperor, who awaits 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.

This Tony Award-winning play features musical interludes with Mozart's beloved compositions. Penfold's production will thrill audiences with two distinct approaches.
