What's Up This Week

MOZART IN VIENNA

For the past few months, London's National Theatre has been thrilling audiences worldwide with filmed versions of its live plays streaming on YouTube, such as A Streetcar Named Desire and Frankenstein. As lockdowns get lifted across the world, this week marks the last of National Theatre's special YouTube programme. Its final presentation is the majestic 2016 production of Amadeus starring Games Of Thrones' actor Lucian Msamati. It tells the story of musical legend Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as he tries to make it in Vienna in the 1780s. The Guardian awarded the show four stars out of five, praising its live orchestral soundtrack and splendid production values.~ Helmi Yusof

Amadeus will be screened on National Theatre Live's YouTube channel from 17 to 23 July.
