Amadeus Auditions

Speaking to a few people recently, it appears some people are not auditioning for Amadeus because they can't play piano, or sing! Amadeus is not a musical. It is a very powerful drama. In the audition notice I did say; *Ideally the actors playing Salieri and Mozart will be able to play piano as I wish to have a harpsichord on stage and would like the playing scenes to be performed live. However, this may be an idealistic dream and I accept that. I would rather have excellent non piano playing actors, than limit myself by setting piano playing ability as a requirement. I reiterate the last statement. I want the best possible actors up there and not playing piano will not stop you getting the role if you are the best actor! I also need a large ensemble cast playing mainly silent roles. But hey, no lines to learn! Just the enjoyment of being up there (quite a bit) and none of the really hard slog of memorising lines! Hoping to hear from lots of people interested in all roles and the ensemble cast. Contact me via email using Amadeus Auditions as the heading, vandlars@bigpond.net.au Cheers, Vanessa
