This performance may have cured me of my irrational dislike for Derek Jacobi. Brilliantly performed. And Ragueneau was great. Not so fond of Sinead Cusack as Roxanne, though. Of course Roxanne is rather an idiot, except in the last act.
Original performance was at the barbican in 83...i've cried a hundred times since i first saw it. Genius. The greatest perfomance of any actor in any play at least in my lifetime,
Wow, thanks for posting this. I love Derek Jacobi and have wanted to see this play for a long time. I own the opera version by Alagna. This one looks to be the best in dramatic form. I must see this entire production. Do you know what year it aired? Jacobi is marvelous in this play. Love this scene. Thanks again!
:'( Great performance by Jacobi... <3 I need some tissues...

Perhaps ironically, I am once again struck dumb by this performance and Sir Derek's raw, unmatched talent.
Now 'scuse me while I go get some Kleenex...
