Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) and Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre (CityRep) have again partnered with National Theatre Live! (NTL) to present theater productions to audiences in the college’s Visual and Performing Arts Center (VPAC) Theater. The next NTL screening is “Amadeus†Sunday, Dec. 10, 2017, at 6 p.m.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a rowdy young prodigy, arrives in Vienna, the music capital of the world – and he’s determined to make a splash. Awe-struck 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.
Lucian Msamati (“Luther,†“Game of Thrones,†“NT Live: The Comedy of Errorsâ€) plays Salieri in Peter Shaffer’s iconic play, performed at the National Theatre and with live orchestral accompaniment by Southbank Sinfonia.
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 film.
All NTL events at OCCC are encore presentations pre-recorded in high-definition. The remainder of the 2017-2018 NTL lineup includes:
- “Amadeus,†Dec. 10, 2017
- “Obsession,†Jan. 21, 2018
