- David Suchet CBE performs Saleri's speech in Act 1, Scene V of Peter Shaffer's play 'Amadeus' at A Service of Thanksgiving to celebrate the life and work of Sir Peter Hall CBE, held at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday 11th September 2018.
'Amadeus' by Peter Shaffer gives a highly fictionalised account of the lives of composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri. It was first performed in 1979 at the National Theatre, directed by Peter Hall. The play was later adapted into a film directed by Miloš Forman.
The play was revived in 1999 at the Music Box Theatre, New York City, directed again by Peter Hall and received Tony Award nominations for Best Revival and Best Actor in a Play for David Suchet as played Salieri.
Sir Peter Hall died in 2017 after a long and distinguished career in British theatre.
David Suchet is best known for playing Hercule Poirot in the TV series 'Agatha Christine's Poirot'. - Zábava
He's like an orchestra in himself; people talk about 'commanding' actors but he's out of sight.
He is not playing Salieri...he is Salieri...what a performance...
I was lucky enough to see and meet this WONDERFUL gentleman/actor in NYC in January 2000.
After the show, he signed autographs. My tactic is to be the last, as I had him all to myself! I'd seen him in King John/RSC in Stratford in 1974. At this NYC meeting, we talked for about 10 to 15 minutes. I'll always remember it!!!
A brilliant actor. Had the privilege of meeting him a few years back. Totally committed to his craft.
@@writeract2 he is a very interesting man-very approachable, intelligent and entertaining. He is very much committed to his craft. If you ever get the chance to see him on the stage take it. He is excellent.
@@tomhamilton5261 I don't know what happenedto my original comment but yes, I've seen interviews and watched him the early vids from RSC - so much thoughtfulness and substance and a really lovely dear person.
@@writeract2 definitely agree with you. Paul Scofield was another great actor along with Anthony Hopkins. Just commanding talented actors.
Such a talented man!
Absolutely wonderful, superb insight into the sin of envy being a corruption of admiration.
What genius looks, sounds and feels like.....
He is absolutely incredible. He always captures my attention
Magnifique acteur, histrionic... Je le admire.
Glorious.
Bravoooooooo

Me like is he crying ?
I love David Suchet, but no one can match F. Murray Abraham as Salieri!
@David Logan One thing to consider is that this is more of a theater performance where you have to project your voice to the entire audience.
F. Murray Abraham had the luxury of delivering soft spoken dialogue since his was a film performance.
Scofield, Abraham, Suchet all good in their own way. I enjoy all three.
Abraham was too hammy for my liking.
No, prefer Scofield's.
Why is he shouting? I don't think high volume adds anything to the deliverance of this monologue.
What's the context? Those Anglican clergy in vestments... have they ignored the words "my house shal be a house of prayer...but you have turned it into"? A theatre, an antiques road show venue, a museum?
If you have not cottoned on to the fact that art can be a transcendental path to God, you have a long way to go, my sanctimonious friend!
I believe this is a funeral and he is performing a piece from something the dead person directed.
Learn to read and then to think
why in the name of Jesus is this secular play BEING DONE IN GOD'S HOUSE - love Suchet but this is WRONG!!! NOT IN GOD'S HOUSE!!!!!!!
calm down. it's just a building.
@@GretaZ-dd3lu No it is the house of my Father God Almighty.
Oh brother.
@@hectorfernandez7186 No Oh God HELP US.
Oh shaddap, you parsimonious imbecile.
Wonderful acting , but this play doesn't do much service to either Mozart or Salieri, good theatre though .
