Ler maisMichael Sheen, the beloved Welsh actor known for his roles in The Queen, Frost/Nixon and Masters of Sex, is making his first trip to Australia at the end of this year for an exclusive season of Amadeus at the Sydney Opera House.
Peter Shaffer’s Tony Award-winning production – a fictionalised account of the relationship between 18th century composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri – is the first show that has been announced from the Opera House’s upcoming 50th anniversary program. It will run in the newly renovated Concert Hall which has been closed for the past two years, and Sheen will play the lead role.
“I’m really looking forward to it,” Sheen tells The Sydney Morning Herald. “But I have a little bit of trepidation as well.”
