3
00:01:47,291 --> 00:01:49,166
But that's not enough.
4
00:01:50,458 --> 00:01:53,541
I'll be back here again in a week.
5
00:01:54,250 --> 00:01:56,416
I'm very sorry, Maestro.
6
00:02:04,541 --> 00:02:08,916
ROME 1781
7
00:02:10,416 --> 00:02:12,291
I also have this.
8
00:02:14,875 --> 00:02:17,000
I can give you ten ducats.
9
00:02:18,916 --> 00:02:20,791
Is that all it's worth?
10
00:02:22,916 --> 00:02:26,375
I'll give you 12.
But only because it's you.
11
00:06:35,458 --> 00:06:39,708
VENICE 1765
12
00:06:46,916 --> 00:06:48,583
Wonderful.
13
00:06:48,666 --> 00:06:51,458
You've really improved since last time.
14
00:06:51,791 --> 00:06:53,833
Your music is so beautiful.
15
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,250
I'm sorry for butchering it.
16
00:06:58,750 --> 00:07:01,541
I'll never play it exactly right.
17
00:07:03,208 --> 00:07:05,083
It's easy for you.
18
00:07:05,166 --> 00:07:07,708
You were born with a violin in your hands.
19
00:07:08,916 --> 00:07:10,333
No.
20
00:07:10,416 --> 00:07:13,708
My father didn't want us to be musicians.
21
00:07:14,250 --> 00:07:16,083
Neither I nor my brother.
22
00:07:20,333 --> 00:07:22,208
Take it…
23
00:07:23,166 --> 00:07:25,041
from here.
24
00:07:26,833 --> 00:07:28,708
So you have a brother?
25
00:07:29,958 --> 00:07:31,708
A twin brother.
26
00:07:31,791 --> 00:07:33,666
Is he as tall as you?
27
00:07:35,916 --> 00:07:37,791
Yes.
28
00:07:38,416 --> 00:07:41,125
Is everyone as tall in your country?
29
00:07:41,208 --> 00:07:43,083
Women, too?
30
00:07:43,875 --> 00:07:45,750
Just us two.
31
00:07:48,458 --> 00:07:50,333
From the beginning, please.
32
00:08:03,083 --> 00:08:05,291
What a pleasure to see you.
33
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,250
You are so beautiful tonight.
34
00:08:10,375 --> 00:08:12,250
"Who - knows."
35
00:08:17,583 --> 00:08:19,458
In the heavens.
36
00:08:19,625 --> 00:08:22,750
I want to hear "the heavens" clearly.
37
00:08:24,625 --> 00:08:27,875
It's not a problem,
you really speak very good Italian.
38
00:08:28,625 --> 00:08:32,208
You're very talented.
You're already an amazing composer.
39
00:08:33,458 --> 00:08:36,541
Recitative is hard for all foreigners.
40
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,791
Heaven's justice
can return again to Earth.
41
00:08:44,333 --> 00:08:48,333
I want the world to find out
42
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:50,375
that he is a traitor.
43
00:08:51,833 --> 00:08:53,250
It's wonderful.
44
00:08:53,333 --> 00:08:59,083
Graceful. Singers will like that a lot.
Every singer is unique.
45
00:08:59,166 --> 00:09:02,208
You have to use
their virtues and shortcomings
46
00:09:02,291 --> 00:09:04,833
to foster the best in each of them
47
00:09:04,916 --> 00:09:08,291
and not lose them
because of technical difficulties.
48
00:09:08,375 --> 00:09:11,708
But I think that only a voice
that nears the impossible,
49
00:09:12,583 --> 00:09:14,583
the incredible,
50
00:09:14,666 --> 00:09:17,333
can personify a goddess, a god,
51
00:09:18,458 --> 00:09:20,583
someone more than human,
52
00:09:22,291 --> 00:09:24,583
the most passionate emotions.
53
00:09:25,958 --> 00:09:29,291
But be careful. Don't play with fire.
54
00:09:55,250 --> 00:09:57,291
Signor Werner, excuse me.
55
00:09:57,791 --> 00:09:59,666
About the rent…
56
00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:01,875
I'm sincerely embarrassed.
57
00:10:02,166 --> 00:10:06,083
Mr. Myslivecek, you're an educated,
polite and honest man.
58
00:10:06,166 --> 00:10:08,125
You shouldn't live like this.
59
00:10:08,208 --> 00:10:13,166
Dedicate yourself to commerce.
You would be rich and respected.
60
00:10:16,833 --> 00:10:19,000
Are you expecting someone?
61
00:10:27,875 --> 00:10:29,750
Josef.
62
00:10:35,291 --> 00:10:37,166
Good day.
63
00:10:43,333 --> 00:10:46,416
I want to thank you for your lessons.
64
00:10:46,541 --> 00:10:51,041
Come listen to La Gabrielli with me.
The whole of Venice is talking about her.
65
00:10:51,166 --> 00:10:53,041
-Tonight?
-Yes.
66
00:10:53,416 --> 00:10:57,416
My father is invited elsewhere,
so our opera box is free.
67
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:04,375
With pleasure.
68
00:11:38,083 --> 00:11:39,875
Father?
69
00:11:43,375 --> 00:11:45,541
Good evening, Mr. Rezzi.
70
00:11:54,291 --> 00:11:57,375
I couldn't resist
your father's invitation.
71
00:11:58,208 --> 00:12:00,916
But don't worry, I won't stay long.
72
00:12:01,083 --> 00:12:03,333
I'm still in mourning.
73
00:12:05,958 --> 00:12:09,208
-I'll be leaving, gentlemen.
-No. Stay with us.
74
00:12:11,166 --> 00:12:13,041
May he, Father?
75
00:12:16,083 --> 00:12:17,958
Of course.
76
00:12:18,416 --> 00:12:22,208
Thank you for the chance
to listen to La Gabrielli.
77
00:12:24,958 --> 00:12:26,666
May I?
78
00:12:41,208 --> 00:12:43,500
What a harlot, but such divine talent.
79
00:12:43,583 --> 00:12:49,166
To think that the whole Venetian Republic
drools over such worthless women.
80
00:13:03,041 --> 00:13:04,916
My God, please.
81
00:13:05,166 --> 00:13:07,041
I ask of You this.
82
00:13:08,166 --> 00:13:10,833
Give me the life of a musician.
83
00:13:15,083 --> 00:13:17,625
Dear Lord, help me achieve my aim.
84
00:13:22,166 --> 00:13:24,708
I will celebrate You with my music.
85
00:14:08,083 --> 00:14:09,875
Excellent.
86
00:14:09,958 --> 00:14:11,541
Only…
87
00:14:11,625 --> 00:14:14,708
At times it's better
to make small mistakes
88
00:14:15,416 --> 00:14:17,583
and let your emotions speak.
89
00:14:19,291 --> 00:14:21,750
Fear of mistakes leads to stiffness.
90
00:14:23,166 --> 00:14:25,583
Think only of playing with your heart.
91
00:14:30,583 --> 00:14:35,041
This morning I went to look
at a nice flat near San Marco.
92
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:37,166
It would be just right for you.
93
00:14:37,250 --> 00:14:40,250
You could give yourself fully to your art.
94
00:14:42,208 --> 00:14:44,083
That is very kind of you.
95
00:14:46,083 --> 00:14:48,708
I think I couldn't afford it.
96
00:14:50,458 --> 00:14:53,250
I don't pay much where I live.
97
00:16:28,250 --> 00:16:31,541
-Good evening, Giuseppe.
-Good evening.
98
00:16:32,041 --> 00:16:34,166
Are you comfortable here?
99
00:16:35,166 --> 00:16:37,041
Yes.
100
00:16:37,875 --> 00:16:40,083
I don't know how to thank you.
101
00:16:41,875 --> 00:16:43,833
I'll pay everything back.
102
00:16:44,125 --> 00:16:46,166
As soon as I can.
103
00:16:51,250 --> 00:16:53,125
Do you like it?
104
00:16:53,291 --> 00:16:55,166
Yes, very much.
105
00:17:14,583 --> 00:17:16,458
I have a dream, too.
106
00:17:16,833 --> 00:17:19,291
I'd like to write a libretto.
107
00:17:22,458 --> 00:17:24,333
I know. I'm a woman.
108
00:17:25,666 --> 00:17:29,416
Can you imagine us
writing an opera together?
109
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:34,333
I'd write the libretto
and you'd help find the words.
110
00:17:40,833 --> 00:17:43,208
I have to ask you for something.
111
00:17:43,333 --> 00:17:46,958
Please, Giuseppe. It cannot wait.
112
00:17:47,375 --> 00:17:49,083
Tell me.
113
00:17:49,166 --> 00:17:51,208
I'm in your debt.
114
00:17:53,208 --> 00:17:57,916
You know they want to marry me to
the old widow you met at the opera?
115
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:00,541
Falier, the nobleman.
116
00:18:01,125 --> 00:18:05,208
Just because he's very rich
and his cousin is the doge.
117
00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:08,250
I'll never give him my innocence.
118
00:18:56,625 --> 00:18:58,416
Excuse me.
119
00:18:58,958 --> 00:19:01,000
What does "battibecco" mean?
120
00:19:01,208 --> 00:19:03,083
It means a skirmish.
121
00:19:03,958 --> 00:19:05,875
A type of quarrel.
122
00:19:05,958 --> 00:19:08,375
-Oh. A brawl.
-That's right.
123
00:19:09,166 --> 00:19:12,666
Good evening, Masquerader. Care to join?
124
00:19:16,041 --> 00:19:18,125
Good evening, Masqueraders.
125
00:19:18,416 --> 00:19:21,958
It would be my pleasure, but I don't play.
126
00:19:22,750 --> 00:19:24,625
Are you serious?
127
00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:28,625
Good evening.
128
00:19:42,875 --> 00:19:47,833
Those ladies over there. Look at
the way they walk and their attitude.
129
00:19:48,208 --> 00:19:51,916
So graceful. Gorgeous.
Nobility, I'm sure.
130
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,541
And see those two over there?
You can have both for a few coins.
131
00:20:00,208 --> 00:20:02,916
Sir… please follow me.
132
00:20:56,791 --> 00:20:58,666
Here you are.
133
00:21:31,125 --> 00:21:34,958
You're in Venice
and you didn't come to pay me a visit?
134
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:38,375
Are you hiding from me?
135
00:21:38,875 --> 00:21:43,166
Are you having doubts?
Or fear? Perhaps you feel guilty?
136
00:21:46,791 --> 00:21:48,666
Come on.
137
00:21:56,625 --> 00:21:58,458
Excuse me, sir!
138
00:21:58,541 --> 00:22:00,416
I'm mortified.
139
00:22:01,375 --> 00:22:04,000
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
140
00:22:10,791 --> 00:22:13,791
Melchior, you ass. Where's your head?
141
00:22:13,875 --> 00:22:15,750
I can't believe this.
142
00:22:16,458 --> 00:22:18,875
Accompany this gentleman back.
143
00:22:21,875 --> 00:22:24,416
I just got here and now I must leave?
144
00:22:28,458 --> 00:22:32,958
May I have the honour of knowing
who I was mistaken for?
145
00:22:35,375 --> 00:22:37,333
You're very indiscreet.
146
00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:39,666
Is that a German quality?
147
00:22:40,541 --> 00:22:43,708
-You are German, aren't you?
-Not quite.
148
00:22:43,958 --> 00:22:46,500
But you're right. I am a foreigner.
149
00:22:48,666 --> 00:22:51,958
I'm a musician
and I would like to live and work here.
150
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:15,166
You have very noble hands.
151
00:23:17,916 --> 00:23:19,791
Intelligent.
152
00:23:22,625 --> 00:23:24,500
Do you have a lover?
153
00:23:25,875 --> 00:23:27,708
Yes.
154
00:23:27,791 --> 00:23:29,833
Rich? Beautiful?
155
00:23:33,125 --> 00:23:35,000
Not as much as you.
156
00:23:35,416 --> 00:23:37,291
How old is she?
157
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:48,333
My God.
158
00:23:49,375 --> 00:23:51,583
What am I going to do with you?
159
00:23:51,958 --> 00:23:54,875
I admit I don't know how to decide.
160
00:23:56,583 --> 00:23:58,666
What do I know? I'll see.
161
00:24:33,416 --> 00:24:36,750
From a young age, they teach us
to be wary of reason.
162
00:24:37,708 --> 00:24:42,000
But I always thought that
what separates a truth from a lie,
163
00:24:42,166 --> 00:24:47,166
is just a veil.
In order to preserve the lie,
164
00:24:47,333 --> 00:24:52,625
it was necessary to believe everything
the priests preached to keep us obedient.
165
00:24:54,541 --> 00:24:56,416
So I got married.
166
00:24:58,166 --> 00:25:00,291
I never loved him.
167
00:25:03,916 --> 00:25:07,625
Then I met a man who taught me to think
168
00:25:07,708 --> 00:25:09,583
and live.
169
00:25:11,416 --> 00:25:13,333
I tore down the veil.
170
00:25:16,541 --> 00:25:20,708
Only then did I start to
deeply love God and life.
171
00:26:15,166 --> 00:26:17,750
I cannot stop your wedding.
172
00:26:18,083 --> 00:26:19,958
Of course you could.
173
00:26:20,375 --> 00:26:22,291
If only you wanted to.
174
00:26:23,083 --> 00:26:28,000
My father would surrender to my will
if only you really wanted me.
175
00:26:28,791 --> 00:26:33,416
Because I would be rejected forever
by my father and society.
176
00:26:33,875 --> 00:26:37,541
But if you loved me, their opinion
would mean nothing to me.
177
00:26:37,625 --> 00:26:42,333
I could face them all.
Be proud of us, proud of me.
178
00:26:42,583 --> 00:26:46,125
We'd just need to wait
until you become famous.
179
00:26:47,583 --> 00:26:49,458
Please.
180
00:26:50,041 --> 00:26:51,916
Don't leave me.
181
00:26:53,375 --> 00:26:55,250
Love me.
182
00:27:00,666 --> 00:27:04,041
Nobody will ever love you as I do.
183
00:27:04,291 --> 00:27:07,833
I know that I can make you happy.
I'll give you everything.
184
00:27:16,750 --> 00:27:19,791
Well, here he is! Giuseppe Mislicece.
185
00:27:20,791 --> 00:27:22,208
Mysliveček.
186
00:27:22,291 --> 00:27:25,500
I'm sorry. I always
butcher your name, dear friend.
187
00:27:25,583 --> 00:27:28,541
Don't worry. It's impossible to pronounce.
188
00:27:29,875 --> 00:27:32,083
He's a very talented musician.
189
00:27:32,958 --> 00:27:36,916
Let me introduce our brilliant impresario.
Orfeo Crispi.
190
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,875
As you know he is
a great figure of our music life.
191
00:27:41,333 --> 00:27:43,208
Signor Crispi…
192
00:27:43,333 --> 00:27:46,333
I would have preferred to
shake your hand first.
193
00:27:46,625 --> 00:27:48,500
Il Parnaso Confuso.
194
00:27:48,750 --> 00:27:51,125
It's by Metastasio. Brand new.
195
00:27:51,208 --> 00:27:55,875
Maestro Gluck had it sung in Vienna
for the children of the empress.
196
00:27:55,958 --> 00:27:58,583
It's an small opera, a simple serenade.
197
00:27:58,791 --> 00:28:01,791
I wrote this version as practice.
198
00:28:04,583 --> 00:28:06,458
What brought you to Venice?
199
00:28:06,541 --> 00:28:09,833
The desire to study
under Maestro Pescetti.
200
00:28:10,166 --> 00:28:13,500
-Do you know him?
-Of course. I really appreciate him.
201
00:28:13,583 --> 00:28:17,208
I heard his Ezio
in the Italian theatre in Prague.
202
00:28:17,291 --> 00:28:19,041
A great thrill.
203
00:28:19,125 --> 00:28:22,500
I wanted to study under him, so I came.
204
00:28:22,583 --> 00:28:28,083
So you left the theatre and hopped
on the first carriage to Venice.
205
00:28:28,458 --> 00:28:32,916
No, I still had to serve
in the last war against Prussia.
206
00:28:33,041 --> 00:28:35,208
To defend Prague, my city.
207
00:28:36,333 --> 00:28:38,333
A terrible experience.
208
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,750
His city besieged, bombarded by cannons.
A real bloodbath.
209
00:28:44,916 --> 00:28:49,458
A thousand times he risked his life.
It was awful, isn't that right?
210
00:28:50,125 --> 00:28:52,583
Have you ever seen people dying?
211
00:28:52,916 --> 00:28:54,791
Violent deaths?
212
00:28:55,291 --> 00:28:58,583
Guts spilling, brains splattered.
213
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:01,833
The body of a child without a head?
214
00:29:02,166 --> 00:29:05,541
Here a leg, there an arm, a dog eating it?
215
00:29:05,875 --> 00:29:08,083
No. This is not my world.
216
00:29:09,916 --> 00:29:13,791
You chose well.
Pescetti is an excellent musician.
217
00:29:13,875 --> 00:29:16,125
He has written many lovely pieces.
218
00:29:16,375 --> 00:29:19,083
He has inspired
many young Venetian artists.
219
00:29:19,166 --> 00:29:22,041
Just as he took over
many from his predecessors.
220
00:29:22,125 --> 00:29:24,708
Now, you're next in line.
221
00:29:25,375 --> 00:29:27,541
Does Pescetti know this opera?
222
00:29:27,958 --> 00:29:29,833
He gave me a lot of advice.
223
00:29:31,291 --> 00:29:34,416
So you certainly don't need mine.
224
00:29:39,666 --> 00:29:41,791
Let's have a look at it.
225
00:30:22,541 --> 00:30:24,500
I've got a visitor.
226
00:30:24,875 --> 00:30:28,958
I need to talk to him in private
over an urgent matter.
227
00:30:29,125 --> 00:30:31,000
Stay here.
228
00:30:31,333 --> 00:30:33,416
Come see me again soon.
229
00:30:36,541 --> 00:30:40,875
Gentlemen, excuse me.
I need to step away for a moment.
230
00:30:50,291 --> 00:30:53,916
What urgent matter is it?
Where are you going?
231
00:30:55,166 --> 00:30:57,166
It doesn't concern you.
232
00:30:58,583 --> 00:31:01,083
Besides, you're being very rude.
233
00:31:01,166 --> 00:31:03,666
You left Crispi there alone.
234
00:31:03,750 --> 00:31:07,916
I introduce you to a famous impresario
and you act like this?
235
00:31:08,250 --> 00:31:10,125
Have you gone mad?
236
00:31:13,208 --> 00:31:16,583
Your jealousy does not amuse me,
dear musician.
237
00:31:17,041 --> 00:31:22,291
If you want to see me again,
you must befriend those I love.
238
00:31:22,375 --> 00:31:26,833
If you cannot,
write me one word: Goodbye.
239
00:31:36,625 --> 00:31:41,708
Maestro Crispi studied your music.
He thanks you for your trust.
240
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,875
-And so?
-That's all.
241
00:31:47,541 --> 00:31:51,333
Tell him I would be happy to serve him
as a violinist or harpsichordist
242
00:31:51,416 --> 00:31:53,416
if there is an occasion.
243
00:31:56,958 --> 00:31:59,416
Think of me. I will be thankful.
244
00:33:49,375 --> 00:33:51,500
For you, everything seems easy.
245
00:33:52,083 --> 00:33:55,416
But I am in dire straits.
246
00:33:58,291 --> 00:34:01,750
I need to sign at least
one contract, otherwise…
247
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,875
It will be the end…
248
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,875
death.
249
00:34:09,125 --> 00:34:11,416
Talk to me about life.
250
00:36:19,666 --> 00:36:21,666
What troubles you, friend?
251
00:36:23,958 --> 00:36:25,833
Tell me.
252
00:36:26,375 --> 00:36:28,250
Why this sadness?
253
00:36:32,750 --> 00:36:36,041
I believed in a fate I cannot have.
254
00:36:37,458 --> 00:36:40,750
It's been so long
since I last wrote a bar of music.
255
00:36:43,083 --> 00:36:45,458
Marriage is my only option.
256
00:36:46,375 --> 00:36:48,250
Seriously?
257
00:37:00,083 --> 00:37:01,958
Good evening.
258
00:37:08,083 --> 00:37:09,958
Count!
259
00:37:13,375 --> 00:37:15,750
We've missed your spirit here.
260
00:37:16,583 --> 00:37:19,416
Venice was drowning
in boredom without you.
261
00:37:19,583 --> 00:37:24,291
I must find my spirit again.
It left me on the journey.
262
00:37:24,416 --> 00:37:26,625
I arrived half-dead.
263
00:37:26,791 --> 00:37:30,208
-Did you like it in Naples?
-Ah, Naples I loved.
264
00:37:30,291 --> 00:37:35,541
But as soon as I got to Venice,
I received a letter with bad news.
265
00:37:35,625 --> 00:37:39,500
I have to work day and night.
What torment.
266
00:37:39,875 --> 00:37:43,708
I'm as exhausted as Jesus
arriving in Golgotha.
267
00:37:44,875 --> 00:37:49,208
Our poor ambassador. I'm sorry for you.
268
00:37:49,375 --> 00:37:51,291
Don't mock me, dear friend.
269
00:37:51,666 --> 00:37:54,666
I adore suffering for the common good.
270
00:37:56,416 --> 00:38:01,750
Our friend Giuseppe
is also willing to make divine music,
271
00:38:01,833 --> 00:38:04,083
sacrificing life and pleasures.
272
00:38:04,833 --> 00:38:08,625
He is an outstanding musician.
He's written several beautiful pieces.
273
00:38:08,708 --> 00:38:13,583
Count Finocchietti is the guardian of
our Venetian music in Naples.
274
00:38:13,666 --> 00:38:17,125
He has done so much
for our culture abroad.
275
00:38:17,416 --> 00:38:20,541
Where have your pieces been played?
276
00:38:21,333 --> 00:38:23,208
Nowhere, sir.
277
00:38:23,958 --> 00:38:25,666
Unfortunately not.
278
00:38:25,750 --> 00:38:29,041
I know his work well. Promising.
279
00:38:30,750 --> 00:38:33,166
Be patient, young man.
280
00:38:35,541 --> 00:38:37,791
I haven't forgotten about you.
281
00:38:38,250 --> 00:38:40,583
Remember I am not immortal.
282
00:38:40,666 --> 00:38:43,583
Really? I thought you were.
283
00:38:45,958 --> 00:38:48,833
I read an opera he wrote as practice.
284
00:38:48,916 --> 00:38:51,500
A truly commendable piece of work.
285
00:38:51,958 --> 00:38:54,833
We'll dine together soon, dear friend.
286
00:38:55,791 --> 00:38:58,666
I'd like to look at your music.
287
00:39:00,333 --> 00:39:03,291
I'll bring it to you.
I'll wait for your notes.
288
00:39:03,458 --> 00:39:05,583
You'll like it, I am certain.
289
00:39:05,666 --> 00:39:09,291
He's very talented,
unfortunately nobody knows it yet.
290
00:40:12,333 --> 00:40:14,875
The poor fool still has hope.
291
00:40:15,250 --> 00:40:17,250
Should I talk to her?
292
00:40:17,958 --> 00:40:20,916
Don't compromise yourself.
293
00:40:22,541 --> 00:40:24,416
She'll make a scandal.
294
00:40:29,958 --> 00:40:31,833
Keep away from her.
295
00:40:32,583 --> 00:40:35,666
Didn't I tell you to burn your bridges?
296
00:41:16,208 --> 00:41:18,000
What a tremendous actress!
297
00:41:18,083 --> 00:41:21,291
In front of all Venice.
298
00:41:31,125 --> 00:41:33,125
I forbid you to go.
299
00:41:33,375 --> 00:41:34,791
Please.
300
00:41:34,875 --> 00:41:38,000
You must not be seen involved in this.
301
00:41:38,708 --> 00:41:41,000
Stay. Don't move.
302
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:54,625
Pray she dies
and takes her secret with her.
303
00:41:59,625 --> 00:42:01,916
If she doesn't die, she'll talk.
304
00:42:06,541 --> 00:42:09,083
Or she'll talk and then die.
305
00:42:10,541 --> 00:42:13,083
Or she'll be forever an invalid.
306
00:42:18,500 --> 00:42:20,875
You're in danger, my friend.
307
00:42:47,958 --> 00:42:50,208
Your friends are right.
308
00:42:51,333 --> 00:42:53,541
You have great talent.
309
00:42:56,166 --> 00:43:00,708
I would be unhappy to see
you killed by her furious suitor, Falier.
310
00:43:00,791 --> 00:43:03,583
Or locked up in prison.
311
00:43:05,833 --> 00:43:08,500
Every cloud has a silver lining.
312
00:43:09,875 --> 00:43:14,791
The composer of the next opera in Naples
can't meet his engagement.
313
00:43:18,375 --> 00:43:22,291
There are many names on the list,
but I can move yours to the top.
314
00:43:22,875 --> 00:43:26,000
I believe you are capable
of fulfilling such a task.
315
00:43:27,375 --> 00:43:32,625
If we are successful, and I believe we
will be, you will write for La Gabrielli.
316
00:43:35,416 --> 00:43:41,208
If she likes you, she'll open a path
for you to theatres and courts.
317
00:43:41,833 --> 00:43:45,375
Don't let this blessing
slip through your fingers.
318
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,875
That's not necessary.
319
00:43:54,583 --> 00:43:57,375
The king will soon reach majority.
320
00:43:57,541 --> 00:44:01,041
The first opera of his rule can be yours.
321
00:44:02,250 --> 00:44:04,875
You couldn't ask for more.
322
00:44:05,291 --> 00:44:08,125
I must warn you.
His Highness is simpleminded.
323
00:44:08,208 --> 00:44:11,750
His parents rule in Spain.
He grew up alone.
324
00:44:12,083 --> 00:44:14,333
Always playing on the street.
325
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:19,416
His ministers want him to be
stupid, ignorant and lazy.
326
00:44:20,166 --> 00:44:22,375
Like the people themselves.
327
00:44:23,291 --> 00:44:26,625
Study a few successful Neapolitan operas.
328
00:44:44,791 --> 00:44:49,500
NAPLES 1767
329
00:44:53,375 --> 00:44:55,541
I must be dreaming. Get out!
330
00:44:55,958 --> 00:44:57,416
Out!
331
00:44:57,500 --> 00:45:01,166
You bother me with gifts I don't need!
332
00:45:01,458 --> 00:45:06,416
One sends me a bird that squawks all day.
The other idiot this slobbering dog.
333
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:08,375
You all want to kill me!
334
00:45:08,875 --> 00:45:10,958
You want me to die!
335
00:45:11,875 --> 00:45:14,708
And you? You brought me this?
336
00:45:15,208 --> 00:45:17,916
Are you all allied against me?
337
00:45:19,916 --> 00:45:21,791
I made a mistake.
338
00:45:21,875 --> 00:45:25,375
I didn't want to waste your time.
I just sent you your part.
339
00:45:25,458 --> 00:45:29,250
But it's actually lovely a duet
for voice and horn.
340
00:45:29,333 --> 00:45:31,208
It's very delightful.
341
00:45:31,333 --> 00:45:33,208
Oh, it's very delightful?
342
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,875
Yes.
343
00:45:36,041 --> 00:45:38,750
And so you know
what is delightful and I don't?
344
00:45:38,833 --> 00:45:39,833
Excuse me?
345
00:45:39,916 --> 00:45:42,416
You know better than I what's delightful?
346
00:45:42,541 --> 00:45:44,416
Yes.
347
00:45:46,500 --> 00:45:48,375
No.
348
00:45:50,208 --> 00:45:51,041
I don't know.
349
00:45:51,125 --> 00:45:55,000
If anyone understands
the rules of music and poetry, it is I.
350
00:45:56,458 --> 00:45:58,916
I thought I knew your tessitura.
351
00:45:59,583 --> 00:46:01,791
To serve you as best I could.
352
00:46:01,875 --> 00:46:06,166
I heard you in Venice.
I've studied many of your arias.
353
00:46:06,250 --> 00:46:08,500
We can certainly change what you want.
354
00:46:19,416 --> 00:46:23,791
When you cut this fruit,
nothing surprises you.
355
00:46:24,875 --> 00:46:26,750
May I?
356
00:46:29,958 --> 00:46:32,166
You've always known it.
357
00:46:32,250 --> 00:46:36,416
But I am from the North. It surprised me.
358
00:46:36,500 --> 00:46:39,833
You see? I couldn't believe it.
359
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:45,791
A hard green fruit
that hides such a sweet red pulp!
360
00:46:49,125 --> 00:46:51,625
It's the same with our aria.
361
00:46:52,291 --> 00:46:56,208
You can't judge it
if you don't know its whole.
362
00:47:44,458 --> 00:47:46,333
Nothing's happening.
363
00:47:49,583 --> 00:47:51,333
Yes. No…
364
00:47:51,416 --> 00:47:53,291
Very well.
365
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,875
Let's continue.
366
00:48:27,750 --> 00:48:29,625
Dear friend…
367
00:49:12,208 --> 00:49:14,083
Well. Let 's continue.
368
00:49:16,375 --> 00:49:19,750
These bars are too difficult.
I'll change them, alright?
369
00:49:19,833 --> 00:49:22,416
They're difficult but I will manage.
370
00:49:23,958 --> 00:49:25,791
I don't want to risk anything.
371
00:49:25,875 --> 00:49:29,375
No, I'll play it right.
With the help of the saints.
372
00:49:32,250 --> 00:49:34,166
It'll be a triumph.
373
00:49:34,708 --> 00:49:37,416
You'll be rich and admired.
374
00:49:37,500 --> 00:49:42,125
I know a good composer
when I see one. I'm never mistaken.
375
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,541
-Maestro, the musicians are ready.
-I'm coming.
376
00:49:48,625 --> 00:49:52,083
But we must change the horn player.
377
00:49:52,166 --> 00:49:54,375
He made another mistake in rehearsal.
378
00:49:54,458 --> 00:49:57,083
Nobody's complained about him before.
379
00:49:57,166 --> 00:50:02,041
His wife is seriously ill.
She's dying. I can't kick him out.
380
00:50:02,416 --> 00:50:04,916
He'll succeed in the end.
381
00:50:08,125 --> 00:50:11,291
-Do what he tells you!
-Caterina, it won't change anything.
382
00:50:11,375 --> 00:50:15,416
In two hours, I want to have
two or three excellent horn players.
383
00:50:16,625 --> 00:50:21,333
Very well, but the next one
might be worse.
384
00:50:26,041 --> 00:50:29,416
I don't understand.
How can he be so reckless?
385
00:50:29,958 --> 00:50:34,416
I don't know. He should understand.
He's an amazing musician.
386
00:50:34,541 --> 00:50:38,750
-He was a famous castrato here in Naples.
-I know.
387
00:50:39,416 --> 00:50:42,750
It was a tragedy for Naples
when he lost his voice.
388
00:50:42,833 --> 00:50:45,833
He started this job and does it well.
389
00:50:47,416 --> 00:50:50,333
If you only knew where he comes from.
390
00:50:50,791 --> 00:50:53,750
A forgotten village in Campania.
391
00:50:56,416 --> 00:50:58,791
He had a dreadful childhood.
392
00:50:59,791 --> 00:51:01,666
Dreadful.
393
00:51:04,208 --> 00:51:09,291
If they hadn't cut off his balls, he'd
still be milking and fucking his goat.
394
00:51:10,458 --> 00:51:15,375
You can't imagine how vile
and ignorant our countryside is.
395
00:51:17,500 --> 00:51:20,541
Excuse me Signora, the Duke Montecenti.
396
00:51:29,250 --> 00:51:32,791
-I will go.
-No. Stay here, Giuseppe.
397
00:51:33,375 --> 00:51:37,750
This monument of insolence knows
that I don't care for him.
398
00:51:38,583 --> 00:51:44,083
He doesn't have a fraction
of your sense of beauty.
399
00:52:01,250 --> 00:52:05,666
Request that the evening goes well.
Put your hand on it.
400
00:52:05,750 --> 00:52:08,291
Maestro, it's in the name of Christ,
401
00:52:08,375 --> 00:52:12,750
the Virgin Mary, St. Januarius
and all saints.
402
00:52:16,666 --> 00:52:18,875
Ask for help and good fortune.
403
00:52:27,125 --> 00:52:30,833
With their help,
we will reap great success.
404
00:52:32,083 --> 00:52:34,625
The greedy slut!
405
00:52:35,166 --> 00:52:37,041
I'm going to kill her,
406
00:52:41,333 --> 00:52:44,000
-Nothing?
-Damn her.
407
00:52:45,500 --> 00:52:47,750
I will burn her like charcoal,
408
00:52:47,833 --> 00:52:49,916
that stinky face.
409
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,833
She must've had a quarrel with someone
and she's made a scandal.
410
00:52:56,916 --> 00:52:59,250
Curse her ancestors!
411
00:53:00,666 --> 00:53:02,541
At last.
412
00:53:13,250 --> 00:53:15,541
I'm sorry. I can cry.
413
00:53:16,083 --> 00:53:18,583
But not sing. I can't.
414
00:53:18,666 --> 00:53:21,125
Stop playing Magdalena up on a cross!
415
00:53:22,041 --> 00:53:23,875
Shut up, ugly Eunuch.
416
00:53:26,541 --> 00:53:30,375
That noble parasite
treats me like a servant.
417
00:53:32,791 --> 00:53:35,250
Do they think I'm afraid of prison?
418
00:53:36,958 --> 00:53:39,333
When all I desire is to die?
419
00:53:41,833 --> 00:53:44,041
I've already been to prison.
420
00:53:45,791 --> 00:53:47,666
In Palermo.
421
00:53:48,541 --> 00:53:51,583
When I ruined Il Demofonte…
422
00:53:52,250 --> 00:53:54,500
But I sang for the prisoners.
423
00:53:54,833 --> 00:53:59,000
So beautifully and so loud
that they ran to free me.
424
00:53:59,833 --> 00:54:03,458
Before that, they loved me in Palermo.
Now they worship me.
425
00:54:07,375 --> 00:54:10,666
There's nothing noble about them.
426
00:54:11,958 --> 00:54:14,916
I know their Christian mercy well.
427
00:54:17,666 --> 00:54:19,708
Their secret vices.
428
00:54:21,583 --> 00:54:24,208
They tainted me as a young girl.
429
00:54:29,041 --> 00:54:30,916
Bastards.
430
00:54:33,750 --> 00:54:35,625
Hypocrites.
431
00:54:41,250 --> 00:54:46,625
They think I'm the best singer in the
world because God gave me a voice.
432
00:54:50,083 --> 00:54:51,958
But I have this.
433
00:54:53,208 --> 00:54:56,416
I have this,
but they don't want to see it.
434
00:54:57,875 --> 00:54:59,750
For them…
435
00:55:00,416 --> 00:55:03,166
…a singer is just a whore
436
00:55:03,875 --> 00:55:06,041
…gifted with some talent.
437
00:55:07,375 --> 00:55:11,000
-But it's not like that.
-That's why you have to go on stage.
438
00:55:12,125 --> 00:55:15,416
Show them they're nothing
compared to you.
439
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,875
The king is coming.
440
00:55:18,166 --> 00:55:20,500
Damn the king!
441
00:55:20,666 --> 00:55:22,791
Seek revenge on stage.
442
00:55:23,458 --> 00:55:25,416
What are you saying?
443
00:55:25,875 --> 00:55:28,750
I can't stand you. Go away.
444
00:55:29,083 --> 00:55:31,291
Both of you!
445
00:55:32,250 --> 00:55:35,250
I'll never sing again! Never!
446
00:55:36,125 --> 00:55:38,916
Enough! I haven't got time for this!
447
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:41,833
Costume, makeup and go sing!
448
00:57:02,291 --> 00:57:03,958
-Where are you going?
-To see La Gabrielli.
449
00:57:04,041 --> 00:57:06,500
Skip that idiot's aria.
Play the next part.
450
00:57:06,583 --> 00:57:10,208
-No, it's the most beautiful aria.
-She won't do it. Go back to your place.
451
00:57:10,291 --> 00:57:13,291
-You hear? It's over.
-Please, come.
452
00:57:26,125 --> 00:57:28,083
Please.
453
00:57:29,916 --> 00:57:31,791
I cannot do it.
454
01:03:14,458 --> 01:03:16,333
That was perfect.
455
01:03:19,083 --> 01:03:22,208
Maestro. That was music. Bravo.
456
01:03:22,291 --> 01:03:25,000
I'm Carlo Fracassati, I live in Bologne.
457
01:03:25,333 --> 01:03:28,875
I am part of the committee of
our municipal theatre.
458
01:03:28,958 --> 01:03:32,750
I would be delighted if you could
conduct an opera in our theatre.
459
01:03:32,833 --> 01:03:35,000
With La Gabrielli, obviously.
460
01:03:35,083 --> 01:03:38,208
-Are you familiar with our theatre?
-Certainly…
461
01:03:38,416 --> 01:03:40,625
Congratulations.
462
01:03:43,458 --> 01:03:46,500
It's a magnificent theatre.
It was opened just 4 year ago.
463
01:03:46,583 --> 01:03:51,833
By the great architect Bibiena.
Surely you know him.
464
01:03:51,958 --> 01:03:55,458
We opened with The Triumph of Clelia
by Sir Gluck.
465
01:03:55,541 --> 01:04:00,125
We have also welcomed
Piccini, Bianchi, Topollini.
466
01:04:00,791 --> 01:04:05,208
I was enraptured by the orchestration
and cantabile of your arias.
467
01:04:06,041 --> 01:04:07,916
Are you a musician too?
468
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,541
A bit. Not as good as I'd like.
469
01:04:10,625 --> 01:04:14,166
She's very modest. She's a great musician.
470
01:04:14,666 --> 01:04:17,458
She's my sister, Anna.
She lives here in Naples.
471
01:04:18,333 --> 01:04:20,916
Bravo, Maestro. Bravo.
472
01:04:21,333 --> 01:04:24,625
A masterful work. Lovely, really.
473
01:04:24,791 --> 01:04:27,125
It was a beautiful evening.
474
01:04:29,333 --> 01:04:33,083
Are you enjoying yourself in Naples?
Do you like the city?
475
01:04:33,458 --> 01:04:35,333
Yes, very much. Thank you.
476
01:04:35,750 --> 01:04:40,541
Naples will be faithful to you.
After tonight's success, I'm sure of it.
477
01:04:40,791 --> 01:04:44,166
But I'd like to see you in Bologna.
478
01:04:44,333 --> 01:04:45,958
Shall we?
479
01:04:46,041 --> 01:04:47,958
Maestro.
480
01:04:49,583 --> 01:04:51,291
Goodbye, Maestro.
481
01:04:51,375 --> 01:04:53,250
Goodbye.
482
01:04:58,916 --> 01:05:01,291
You like the young baroness.
483
01:05:01,666 --> 01:05:03,250
Forget her.
484
01:05:03,333 --> 01:05:07,875
Last year her husband killed a man
who found her attractive.
485
01:05:10,291 --> 01:05:12,541
See who you're dealing with?
486
01:05:13,958 --> 01:05:15,708
But… Bravo!
487
01:05:15,791 --> 01:05:20,500
I'm sure you're the first conductor
who slapped her.
488
01:05:22,541 --> 01:05:24,875
Congratulations.
489
01:05:25,458 --> 01:05:28,833
You know in our culture we don't slap.
490
01:05:28,916 --> 01:05:31,750
We take a knife to disobedient girls.
491
01:05:35,458 --> 01:05:37,958
Usually it is her who beats men.
492
01:05:38,041 --> 01:05:40,041
You know she whipped
the Duke of Tuscany?
493
01:05:40,125 --> 01:05:42,416
She used to call him a cursed hunchback.
494
01:05:42,500 --> 01:05:47,666
Madly in love, he would give her the whip
and call out: Beat me, my love! Beat me!
495
01:05:51,125 --> 01:05:56,500
You truly understand the mystery
known as “woman”.
496
01:06:00,250 --> 01:06:02,125
Maestro…
497
01:06:02,416 --> 01:06:04,291
I'm waiting for you.
498
01:06:05,583 --> 01:06:09,208
Thank you, Caterina.
You were amazing in the end.
499
01:06:09,791 --> 01:06:11,500
Don't close it.
500
01:06:11,583 --> 01:06:13,333
I'm going.
501
01:06:13,416 --> 01:06:17,083
-Good night, dear friends.
-You won't have dinner with us?
502
01:06:17,166 --> 01:06:20,333
I have a sore throat. I'm going to bed.
503
01:06:20,541 --> 01:06:24,458
My God, take care of yourself.
You mustn't get sick!
504
01:06:25,500 --> 01:06:29,833
I have a goddess helping under the sheets.
505
01:06:33,125 --> 01:06:35,625
Good luck, friend.
506
01:06:39,500 --> 01:06:42,625
Are you going to make merry
with those idiots?
507
01:06:45,875 --> 01:06:48,208
Or do you want to work with me?
508
01:06:59,625 --> 01:07:01,750
You'll come with me to Turin.
509
01:07:02,791 --> 01:07:05,166
Write my next opera.
510
01:07:19,791 --> 01:07:22,625
Bravo, you were great.
511
01:07:23,916 --> 01:07:28,458
All of Naples is happy
and my heart is full of joy.
512
01:07:30,125 --> 01:07:32,583
Bravo, beautiful music.
513
01:07:35,208 --> 01:07:37,166
An exceptional evening.
514
01:07:39,416 --> 01:07:41,583
We'll be expecting you at the palace
for dinner.
515
01:07:41,666 --> 01:07:42,916
I'm sorry. I can't.
516
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,541
-You can't refuse.
-I will have to.
517
01:07:47,625 --> 01:07:51,541
I need to rest
before tomorrow's performance.
518
01:07:55,083 --> 01:07:57,375
Do you want to frighten me?
519
01:07:58,041 --> 01:08:02,041
There are plenty of theatres in Italy
that would love to have me.
520
01:08:20,375 --> 01:08:24,000
Where did you study music?
In Italy or in your country?
521
01:08:24,166 --> 01:08:28,166
In my homeland and then in Venice,
under Maestro Pescetti.
522
01:08:30,208 --> 01:08:34,250
Pescetti - Little Fish. Quite a name.
523
01:08:36,083 --> 01:08:37,916
Continue.
524
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,250
I studied at the University of Prague,
525
01:08:40,333 --> 01:08:45,208
and to fulfil my father's wishes,
I learned everything about milling.
526
01:08:46,833 --> 01:08:49,583
Flour, devices,
527
01:08:50,250 --> 01:08:52,500
shovels, mill wheels.
528
01:08:52,833 --> 01:08:56,208
How to build a dike, reinforce banks,
529
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,458
measure the strength of water currents.
530
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,875
Everything about the life of a river.
531
01:09:08,750 --> 01:09:11,791
Fish. Do you know them?
Did you learn about fish?
532
01:09:11,875 --> 01:09:13,750
-Oh, about fish?
-Yes.
533
01:09:14,208 --> 01:09:17,750
-No.
-That's too bad. You should have.
534
01:09:25,250 --> 01:09:27,458
Is there a chamber pot here?
535
01:09:30,125 --> 01:09:32,000
I don't know.
536
01:09:32,458 --> 01:09:34,625
Over there. Hand it to me.
537
01:09:35,583 --> 01:09:37,750
Take this seat.
538
01:09:40,125 --> 01:09:42,708
Put it over there. Over there.
539
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,666
So… you like the horn?
540
01:10:05,708 --> 01:10:09,708
Yes, I loved using it
in the duet with La Gabrielli.
541
01:10:10,041 --> 01:10:11,916
Really?
542
01:10:12,625 --> 01:10:15,750
The Neapolitan horn school is phenomenal.
543
01:10:16,083 --> 01:10:18,500
Well. You really don't understand.
544
01:10:19,041 --> 01:10:21,166
Don't you know what we call a horn?
545
01:10:21,416 --> 01:10:23,583
Don't worry. You'll find out.
546
01:10:26,375 --> 01:10:29,708
Are there many hunting reserves
in your homeland?
547
01:10:30,708 --> 01:10:33,708
-Yes.
-You have white stags, don't you?
548
01:10:34,625 --> 01:10:37,416
They are very rare, Your Highness.
549
01:10:38,208 --> 01:10:40,750
But we have many other animals.
550
01:10:41,500 --> 01:10:43,333
We have deer,
551
01:10:43,416 --> 01:10:45,291
bears, wolves,
552
01:10:47,458 --> 01:10:49,458
many types of birds, pheasants…
553
01:10:49,541 --> 01:10:54,583
Yes, there must be a little of everything
for the world to be a pleasant place.
554
01:10:55,291 --> 01:10:57,083
And how about fish?
555
01:10:57,166 --> 01:10:59,041
Fish… lots.
556
01:10:59,291 --> 01:11:01,333
We have beautiful rivers and lakes.
557
01:11:01,416 --> 01:11:03,500
But the sea is very cold.
558
01:11:04,375 --> 01:11:06,958
We have no sea, Your Highness.
559
01:11:09,125 --> 01:11:11,750
-You have no sea?
-Really, we don't.
560
01:11:14,875 --> 01:11:17,125
We just have mountains for borders.
561
01:11:22,125 --> 01:11:24,000
Mountains are beautiful.
562
01:11:24,166 --> 01:11:26,041
But still…
563
01:11:26,833 --> 01:11:31,541
I am sorry.
How can you live without fish,
564
01:11:31,916 --> 01:11:34,000
without ports, without ships?
565
01:11:34,875 --> 01:11:36,750
It must be sad.
566
01:11:38,833 --> 01:11:41,375
Come here. Come have a look.
567
01:11:47,541 --> 01:11:49,416
Do you like it?
568
01:11:49,625 --> 01:11:53,250
My heartiest congratulations,
Your Highness.
569
01:11:53,375 --> 01:11:55,250
Pick it up.
570
01:11:55,416 --> 01:11:57,291
Have a closer look.
571
01:12:03,125 --> 01:12:05,000
How is yours?
572
01:12:05,375 --> 01:12:09,208
I'm sure your shit is
different before and after a performance.
573
01:12:09,291 --> 01:12:12,041
I noticed that animals
show a greater regularity.
574
01:12:12,125 --> 01:12:16,375
Every species defecates in its own way.
Each with its own shape and consistency.
575
01:12:16,458 --> 01:12:19,041
However, humans are ever-changing.
576
01:12:19,125 --> 01:12:21,958
One day it is hard, the next day soft.
577
01:12:22,583 --> 01:12:25,083
Do you understand what I'm saying?
578
01:12:26,750 --> 01:12:28,666
You can't rely on them.
579
01:12:30,500 --> 01:12:35,041
I think it's because of
our sensitive human souls.
580
01:12:35,166 --> 01:12:37,041
What do you think?
581
01:12:37,625 --> 01:12:40,625
Your Highness' words are full of wisdom.
582
01:12:46,666 --> 01:12:50,750
You know you can see the future in it?
I mean the future. What's to come.
583
01:12:51,458 --> 01:12:53,208
I didn't know.
584
01:12:53,875 --> 01:12:56,375
Maybe La Gabrielli will find out.
585
01:12:56,458 --> 01:12:58,333
Put it there.
586
01:13:10,708 --> 01:13:12,583
I like you very much.
587
01:13:13,083 --> 01:13:14,958
Do you know what you will do now?
588
01:13:18,416 --> 01:13:21,916
You will write a cantata
for our Holy Mother Church.
589
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:25,625
Then an opera for Pa's birthday.
In August.
590
01:14:08,958 --> 01:14:13,833
PRAGUE 1768
591
01:14:36,333 --> 01:14:39,291
You knew perfectly well
that Mother was ailing.
592
01:14:39,541 --> 01:14:41,583
You should have come.
593
01:14:43,916 --> 01:14:48,041
You should've been holding her hand
when she left to Heaven.
594
01:14:52,708 --> 01:14:54,958
I had to listen to her rebukes.
595
01:14:55,375 --> 01:14:57,250
Her weeping.
596
01:14:58,208 --> 01:15:00,958
I had to let her reproach me.
597
01:15:03,291 --> 01:15:07,041
But she loved you so much
she forgot you'd run away like a thief.
598
01:15:07,125 --> 01:15:09,958
and that I'd had to support you.
599
01:15:11,916 --> 01:15:14,916
I have many worries, and too much debt.
600
01:15:17,375 --> 01:15:21,583
I have to pay people
to fix the roof and cellar.
601
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,791
Are you wearing cologne?
602
01:15:37,916 --> 01:15:41,125
And you don't care that we're grieving?
603
01:15:47,625 --> 01:15:51,416
I hope your new friends
won't lead you astray.
604
01:15:57,791 --> 01:16:00,875
I paid your notary and inheritance tax.
605
01:16:05,791 --> 01:16:07,583
My God…
606
01:16:07,916 --> 01:16:10,750
I'd like to know how you live.
607
01:16:14,166 --> 01:16:17,291
What's the point of
being famous if you're in debt?
608
01:16:19,500 --> 01:16:23,375
Do you know how much it costs
to travel from Naples to Turin?
609
01:16:23,458 --> 01:16:27,750
The price for the inn?
The cost of this trip?
610
01:16:31,166 --> 01:16:34,458
Prima donnas make 4,000 a season.
611
01:16:34,625 --> 01:16:37,625
Tenors make 3,500. Me…
612
01:16:39,041 --> 01:16:40,916
400.
613
01:16:41,166 --> 01:16:45,916
Theatres fight over them,
while I have to spend my money to get in.
614
01:16:49,833 --> 01:16:53,041
Of course I'll give you
my share of the mill.
615
01:17:41,750 --> 01:17:43,791
Welcome, Maestro.
616
01:17:44,333 --> 01:17:47,958
We were awfully worried
you might not come today.
617
01:17:48,041 --> 01:17:52,250
Sir Mozart is playing so he doesn't
fall asleep. They leave tomorrow.
618
01:17:53,458 --> 01:17:57,375
-I'm Leopold Mozart.
-Pleased to meet you.
619
01:17:57,875 --> 01:18:01,750
-I'm sorry. I had an accident.
-I'm sorry to hear.
620
01:18:04,833 --> 01:18:08,208
Madam. You are also in Bologna.
621
01:18:08,416 --> 01:18:11,416
-Maestro!
-I came to spend time with my brother.
622
01:18:11,500 --> 01:18:13,833
We've been looking for you for months.
623
01:18:14,041 --> 01:18:19,500
Everywhere we went, you'd either
just left or hadn't arrived yet.
624
01:18:19,791 --> 01:18:22,958
I didn't want to miss
the chance of meeting you either.
625
01:18:23,041 --> 01:18:25,333
Was that your music?
626
01:18:25,583 --> 01:18:27,416
No. Unfortunately not.
627
01:18:27,833 --> 01:18:32,291
It's from our neighbour Josef Haydn.
We just received it in the mail.
628
01:18:32,375 --> 01:18:37,000
Wolfgang longed to meet a fellow
countryman so loved in Italy.
629
01:18:37,125 --> 01:18:42,041
Maestro, they say you will have
La Gabrielli in your next production.
630
01:18:42,458 --> 01:18:45,375
How is she? Good? Excellent?
631
01:18:45,458 --> 01:18:47,916
Wolfgang! That's enough.
632
01:18:49,333 --> 01:18:52,958
You can't smother
Mr. Myslivecek like that.
633
01:18:54,250 --> 01:18:56,250
He doesn't have a sense of timing.
634
01:18:57,875 --> 01:19:00,083
Gentlemen, have a seat.
635
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,083
La Gabrielli is coming next week.
636
01:19:06,166 --> 01:19:10,208
It would be wonderful
if she could perform in your production.
637
01:19:10,291 --> 01:19:13,916
They say it's not easy with La Gabrielli.
638
01:19:14,208 --> 01:19:16,833
I assure you that
she is an exquisite singer.
639
01:19:16,916 --> 01:19:21,083
It's been 3 seasons since I composed
for her. I am impatient to meet her again.
640
01:19:21,166 --> 01:19:24,500
Maestro Mozart,
she moved me many times.
641
01:19:24,583 --> 01:19:27,000
There are many wonderful singers.
642
01:19:27,083 --> 01:19:30,625
But they often lack emotion.
They lack understanding.
643
01:19:30,708 --> 01:19:35,208
They can't express
the right emotions on stage.
644
01:19:35,791 --> 01:19:38,958
But La Gabrielli gives you
everything you want.
645
01:19:39,041 --> 01:19:45,250
Sorry, but they say
she's irritable and as stubborn as a mule.
646
01:19:45,666 --> 01:19:48,666
And that she is completely immoral.
647
01:19:51,666 --> 01:19:56,041
They gave me your mail in Ferrara.
Your butler has it.
648
01:19:56,125 --> 01:19:58,583
Excellent, thanks. I'll go open it.
649
01:19:58,958 --> 01:20:02,458
Are you coming with me.
Maybe there's a letter for you, too.
650
01:20:02,541 --> 01:20:04,416
Of course.
651
01:20:05,583 --> 01:20:07,541
Please, excuse us.
652
01:20:08,916 --> 01:20:13,208
Maestro, can I listen
to something you are working on?
653
01:20:13,541 --> 01:20:15,416
Certainly.
654
01:20:19,583 --> 01:20:23,041
The beginning of the opera must
always be simple and dazzling.
655
01:20:23,125 --> 01:20:25,708
I do a triad in D-major.
656
01:20:50,208 --> 01:20:52,958
The score is in my bag. One moment.
657
01:20:54,625 --> 01:20:56,208
Bravo.
658
01:20:56,291 --> 01:20:58,750
That's a crisp molto vivace.
659
01:20:59,708 --> 01:21:01,583
Thank you.
660
01:22:41,958 --> 01:22:43,541
Bravo.
661
01:22:43,625 --> 01:22:45,666
That's beautiful.
662
01:22:46,583 --> 01:22:48,583
Can I ask you something?
663
01:22:50,166 --> 01:22:53,166
Do you also compose
before going to bed?
664
01:22:54,791 --> 01:22:57,666
Often. Sometimes all night.
665
01:23:01,583 --> 01:23:05,625
I always write the beginning
of a piece in the evening.
666
01:23:06,083 --> 01:23:10,250
So that I get
the attention of the Almighty,
667
01:23:10,458 --> 01:23:13,250
and I finish the piece the following day.
668
01:23:13,916 --> 01:23:19,208
Each time, he lets me live because
he wants to hear how the piece ends.
669
01:23:19,791 --> 01:23:23,416
You aren't afraid you won't wake up?
670
01:23:25,458 --> 01:23:27,666
Don't worry, Wolfgang.
671
01:23:28,416 --> 01:23:33,083
Every day that passes
teaches you to get through life.
672
01:23:34,208 --> 01:23:37,625
God doesn't only care about
what you write in the evening,
673
01:23:37,708 --> 01:23:41,291
but what you become
in 10, 20 or 40 years.
674
01:23:41,625 --> 01:23:44,375
Maestro, bad news.
675
01:23:46,166 --> 01:23:50,791
La Gabrielli writes from Palermo.
She wants to cancel her contract.
676
01:23:51,291 --> 01:23:56,583
She says she wants to go to a monastery,
marry Christ, and never sing again.
677
01:24:05,333 --> 01:24:08,250
She couldn't have found
a more famous husband.
678
01:24:08,666 --> 01:24:11,083
A contract cannot be broken like that.
679
01:24:15,500 --> 01:24:20,166
I worked with a good soprano.
Last year, in Florence.
680
01:25:56,500 --> 01:25:59,125
I'm going to Florence, to Milan.
681
01:26:01,083 --> 01:26:04,666
My opera will open
the new theatre in Pavia.
682
01:26:06,583 --> 01:26:08,458
Then…
683
01:26:09,750 --> 01:26:12,750
I'll return to Turin and Parma.
684
01:26:16,875 --> 01:26:19,500
But I have no commissions in Naples.
685
01:26:21,750 --> 01:26:26,125
I'm trying to say that I don't know
if we'll meet again.
686
01:26:32,166 --> 01:26:34,250
I would like to stay here too.
687
01:26:36,166 --> 01:26:38,750
Naples has become a prison for me.
688
01:26:42,041 --> 01:26:45,416
But my husband is impatient.
I have to go back.
689
01:27:01,291 --> 01:27:03,166
Will you write to me?
690
01:27:06,625 --> 01:27:11,583
To correspond with a man like you
would give my life meaning again.
691
01:27:12,666 --> 01:27:17,041
I could organize my thoughts
and compare them to yours.
692
01:27:20,083 --> 01:27:21,958
To think…
693
01:27:25,833 --> 01:27:28,625
Sorry, forget what I said.
694
01:28:02,083 --> 01:28:03,958
Stop it.
695
01:28:14,166 --> 01:28:15,791
No.
696
01:28:26,708 --> 01:28:30,791
Dear Anna, thank you for your last letter,
697
01:28:31,250 --> 01:28:36,041
and for the fascinating description of
the excavations of Pompeii.
698
01:28:37,500 --> 01:28:42,833
You have a gift of talking about the
victims as if it happened just yesterday.
699
01:28:43,083 --> 01:28:46,458
As if you, dear Anna, really knew them.
700
01:28:49,375 --> 01:28:54,541
Had I also been buried alive so suddenly,
but together with you,
701
01:28:54,625 --> 01:28:56,875
I would have died happy.
702
01:28:58,541 --> 01:29:03,708
In every city, I hope that
one of your letters is waiting for me.
703
01:29:04,500 --> 01:29:06,750
I admire your sensibility,
704
01:29:08,083 --> 01:29:10,000
your wisdom.
705
01:29:11,333 --> 01:29:14,083
How I wish to see you again.
706
01:29:22,458 --> 01:29:24,333
Dear friend,
707
01:29:25,416 --> 01:29:28,833
it's been two years
since we were separated.
708
01:29:28,916 --> 01:29:32,166
Despite that, your image
guides me day and night.
709
01:29:33,041 --> 01:29:35,500
I talk to you. We have discussions.
710
01:29:37,333 --> 01:29:39,583
You are my soul mate.
711
01:29:41,333 --> 01:29:46,666
The thirst for knowledge connecting us
can overcome centuries.
712
01:29:47,875 --> 01:29:51,416
Love does not last in marriage.
713
01:29:54,666 --> 01:29:58,833
I cannot only blame
the bad character of my husband,
714
01:29:59,833 --> 01:30:05,916
but also the nature of carnal love that is
quick to catch fire but soon turns to ash.
715
01:30:07,791 --> 01:30:09,666
But let's go forward.
716
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:12,791
I want to speak to you about dissonance
717
01:30:12,875 --> 01:30:16,916
that finally has its place
in contemporary music.
718
01:30:17,750 --> 01:30:23,208
One moment of discomfort promises
the ear a more satisfying end
719
01:30:23,291 --> 01:30:25,833
when the harmony returns.
720
01:30:27,375 --> 01:30:32,625
Be careful when you write.
My husband's jealousy is ever growing.
721
01:30:33,583 --> 01:30:36,041
I'm enclosing two articles
722
01:30:36,125 --> 01:30:40,291
I translated for you from the excellent
magazine Mercure de France.
723
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,458
-I am glad to see you again.
-So am I.
724
01:31:17,541 --> 01:31:21,333
I look forward to the opera
you're preparing.
725
01:31:21,416 --> 01:31:24,416
I'll have more stage fright
than ever before.
726
01:31:24,500 --> 01:31:25,958
Why?
727
01:31:26,041 --> 01:31:28,041
Because I owe you everything.
728
01:31:28,125 --> 01:31:32,000
I see your name in the newspapers.
I hear it in conversations.
729
01:31:32,166 --> 01:31:36,416
Travellers who have heard your operas
tell me about them.
730
01:31:37,291 --> 01:31:42,208
Seldom have I been witness
to such huge success.
731
01:31:43,125 --> 01:31:45,625
That's a great reward for me.
732
01:31:48,500 --> 01:31:52,833
Do you know that your pupil
found a husband and has two kids?
733
01:31:53,250 --> 01:31:54,875
No, I'm really glad.
734
01:31:54,958 --> 01:31:58,500
-It seems she is in love.
-I'm glad to hear that.
735
01:31:59,500 --> 01:32:01,625
And do you know about Falier?
736
01:32:02,666 --> 01:32:04,125
They found him dead
737
01:32:04,208 --> 01:32:08,291
in the bed of the Mother Superior of
the Benedictine monastery.
738
01:32:09,125 --> 01:32:10,875
A broken heart.
739
01:32:10,958 --> 01:32:15,166
It's a pity he died so happy
and so close to Paradise.
740
01:32:16,416 --> 01:32:18,958
I'd wish him a more wretched passing.
741
01:32:23,458 --> 01:32:26,875
Our poor friend isn't so well.
742
01:32:27,333 --> 01:32:29,750
She says she fell off a horse.
743
01:32:31,875 --> 01:32:34,041
Stop by and see her.
744
01:32:36,375 --> 01:32:38,250
She'd be happy.
745
01:32:57,125 --> 01:32:59,041
Take a seat.
746
01:33:10,125 --> 01:33:12,000
You've changed.
747
01:33:13,041 --> 01:33:14,916
You haven't.
748
01:33:17,958 --> 01:33:20,291
You lost your sincerity.
749
01:33:20,708 --> 01:33:22,583
No.
750
01:33:22,666 --> 01:33:25,250
You just look a bit tired.
751
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,166
What did the doctor say?
752
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:36,375
Doctors… I went to a sorceress
in Murano, but you know, I'm not naive.
753
01:33:39,875 --> 01:33:42,958
You're a success. I'm happy for you.
754
01:33:45,916 --> 01:33:48,375
You've had a lot of love affairs?
755
01:33:49,666 --> 01:33:51,666
I've mostly just worked.
756
01:33:56,708 --> 01:33:58,750
You were like a kitten.
757
01:33:59,666 --> 01:34:01,541
But you're better like that.
758
01:34:10,416 --> 01:34:12,291
How are your children?
759
01:34:14,291 --> 01:34:16,166
They don't tell me much.
760
01:34:18,291 --> 01:34:20,666
I don't feel my best today.
761
01:34:22,708 --> 01:34:24,875
Stop by another time.
762
01:34:26,958 --> 01:34:28,833
Of course.
763
01:34:29,375 --> 01:34:31,666
But I'll be very busy.
764
01:34:31,750 --> 01:34:34,916
I must write the Christmas Mass
for Saint Zaccaria.
765
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:39,375
We can see each other over Christmas.
Or for my carnival opera.
766
01:34:45,666 --> 01:34:48,833
I haven't gone out in a while,
767
01:34:49,375 --> 01:34:52,541
but come for a hot chocolate.
I'd be happy to see you.
768
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:37,000
- Why were you looking at the marquis?
- What?
769
01:35:37,583 --> 01:35:42,041
- Why were you looking at the marquis?
- I wasn't.
770
01:35:42,250 --> 01:35:44,125
Confess.
771
01:35:45,708 --> 01:35:47,583
Confess!
772
01:35:50,250 --> 01:35:52,833
Addolorata, take the girls away.
773
01:35:55,416 --> 01:35:57,291
Hurry.
774
01:36:03,333 --> 01:36:07,333
He was your guest.
I spoke with him just as a courtesy.
775
01:36:08,166 --> 01:36:09,750
Don't lie, Anna.
776
01:36:09,833 --> 01:36:12,625
-I'm not lying.
-Don't lie.
777
01:36:13,958 --> 01:36:18,250
Or I'll kill you.
Then I'll kill him and then myself.
778
01:36:18,583 --> 01:36:23,208
Then you'll be happy and we'll be free.
Once and for all.
779
01:36:25,583 --> 01:36:27,458
You wouldn't dare.
780
01:36:28,125 --> 01:36:30,000
Swear…
781
01:36:31,791 --> 01:36:34,333
Swear on the head of your brother
782
01:36:34,666 --> 01:36:36,791
and on your dead mother.
783
01:36:36,916 --> 01:36:39,958
I swear. On Carlo, on my mother.
784
01:36:43,666 --> 01:36:47,208
Now you'll give me a boy.
You owe me a son.
785
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:15,958
Yes?
786
01:38:16,500 --> 01:38:18,541
Good evening, Maestro.
787
01:38:19,375 --> 01:38:21,416
Can I leave this over there?
788
01:38:23,125 --> 01:38:25,000
Thank you.
789
01:38:44,166 --> 01:38:47,875
Maestro, sir, I want to sing too…
790
01:38:48,708 --> 01:38:51,208
Will you please give me lessons?
791
01:38:51,875 --> 01:38:53,583
I'm sorry. I'm working.
792
01:38:53,666 --> 01:38:58,958
I can pay you! I'll be your servant.
Wash your clothes, do your errands.
793
01:39:00,833 --> 01:39:03,291
-I need to work now.
-Of course.
794
01:39:05,041 --> 01:39:06,916
There's also a letter.
795
01:39:09,208 --> 01:39:11,083
Thank you.
796
01:39:34,041 --> 01:39:36,500
I'm happy you are in Naples.
797
01:39:37,458 --> 01:39:43,083
Yet, I am forced to say with sadness
that our friendship must end.
798
01:39:43,208 --> 01:39:45,333
Even our correspondence.
799
01:39:46,458 --> 01:39:50,708
There is no way out.
Don't try to contact me.
800
01:39:51,041 --> 01:39:52,791
Please.
801
01:39:52,875 --> 01:39:56,291
Let us be above our suffering.
802
01:39:56,750 --> 01:39:59,458
-Good day Baron.
-Good day.
803
01:40:00,166 --> 01:40:03,458
I came to see you but I'll be quick.
804
01:40:03,541 --> 01:40:07,083
Your brother-in-law gave me
this book for your spouse.
805
01:40:07,291 --> 01:40:10,333
Thank you. She'll be happy.
806
01:40:12,500 --> 01:40:14,666
May I offer you something?
807
01:40:14,833 --> 01:40:17,291
No, I have to get back to work, I'm sorry.
808
01:40:18,166 --> 01:40:20,041
Of course.
809
01:40:22,125 --> 01:40:25,625
Unless I ought to say hello to the lady.
810
01:40:26,625 --> 01:40:28,041
Yes.
811
01:40:28,125 --> 01:40:30,333
But I must tell you something.
812
01:40:30,416 --> 01:40:32,291
She feels very weak.
813
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:34,875
Keep it to yourself.
814
01:40:35,041 --> 01:40:37,875
She is plagued by chronic melancholy.
815
01:40:39,625 --> 01:40:41,500
Please.
816
01:40:47,166 --> 01:40:49,250
-Maestro.
-Madam.
817
01:40:52,833 --> 01:40:57,375
I have come to bring you a book
sent by your brother Carlo.
818
01:41:00,125 --> 01:41:03,458
- Sir. Where is it?
- Ah, yes. I'll go fetch it.
819
01:41:16,916 --> 01:41:20,250
You can't break our friendship this way.
820
01:41:31,750 --> 01:41:34,125
Don't give in to the pain.
821
01:41:37,208 --> 01:41:39,416
Don't be sad.
822
01:41:41,208 --> 01:41:43,083
Work in peace.
823
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:47,041
Enjoy your well-deserved successes.
824
01:41:48,041 --> 01:41:50,291
The future smiles on you.
825
01:42:26,708 --> 01:42:29,333
The fresh air did me good.
826
01:43:35,708 --> 01:43:37,583
Anna!
827
01:45:25,125 --> 01:45:28,708
I must break the rule we set for ourselves
828
01:45:29,083 --> 01:45:33,333
to tell you how much
I loved your last opera.
829
01:45:33,416 --> 01:45:35,583
But I also want to tell you:
830
01:45:35,875 --> 01:45:42,666
Even the greatest artists give up
when faced with difficult material.
831
01:45:43,625 --> 01:45:46,208
Not even you can escape this rule.
832
01:45:46,291 --> 01:45:50,375
Please don't succumb to
the superficial tastes
833
01:45:50,458 --> 01:45:54,708
and wishes of singers
who think only of their own interests.
834
01:45:54,958 --> 01:46:00,250
Read the French philosopher, Diderot.
His thoughts about opera are enlightening.
835
01:46:01,333 --> 01:46:04,625
Your music could be felt more deeply.
836
01:46:05,125 --> 01:46:07,791
Revealing the depths of the human soul.
837
01:46:07,875 --> 01:46:12,083
Speak even more clearly, strongly
and directly to our hearts.
838
01:46:12,583 --> 01:46:15,791
I tell you this because
I stay devoted to you.
839
01:46:23,291 --> 01:46:25,166
Queen.
840
01:46:26,583 --> 01:46:28,458
Is everyone finished?
841
01:46:30,791 --> 01:46:32,666
Sir, are you betting?
842
01:46:40,375 --> 01:46:42,250
Five.
843
01:46:46,333 --> 01:46:49,166
Sir, you forgot your cigarette case. Here!
844
01:46:49,250 --> 01:46:52,791
Christ, what are you doing? Toss it to me.
845
01:47:00,250 --> 01:47:02,125
Thank you.
846
01:47:02,916 --> 01:47:04,958
Which number? Queen?
847
01:47:06,583 --> 01:47:08,458
No more bets?
848
01:47:15,375 --> 01:47:17,250
The jacket.
849
01:47:17,666 --> 01:47:19,166
Which number?
850
01:47:19,250 --> 01:47:20,666
King.
851
01:47:20,750 --> 01:47:22,625
Bets are off.
852
01:47:33,708 --> 01:47:35,583
Gentlemen.
853
01:47:35,958 --> 01:47:38,750
I'm sorry, Maestro.
You'll win it back next time.
854
01:47:38,833 --> 01:47:42,291
There's no doubt.
I'll leave you without your drawers.
855
01:47:42,375 --> 01:47:44,250
It would be an honour.
856
01:47:45,291 --> 01:47:48,375
-What?
-Shall I add her to your bill?
857
01:47:49,791 --> 01:47:51,666
I'd prefer her on my bed.
858
01:47:51,833 --> 01:47:53,666
Come with me, love.
859
01:47:53,750 --> 01:47:57,291
Not with her. You don't need to. Let's go.
860
01:47:57,375 --> 01:48:00,875
What does she want, this hussy.
861
01:48:00,958 --> 01:48:02,625
-Get lost.
-Who?
862
01:48:02,708 --> 01:48:06,833
-You!
-Who are you? We work here.
863
01:48:14,708 --> 01:48:17,166
Enough! Stop it!
864
01:48:17,250 --> 01:48:19,458
Shut up, faggot.
865
01:48:22,166 --> 01:48:24,666
Have you gone mad? Get out!
866
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:26,750
Half man.
867
01:48:26,833 --> 01:48:28,708
Evil upon you.
868
01:48:28,916 --> 01:48:31,333
-Take your jacket.
-My jacket?
869
01:48:32,333 --> 01:48:35,041
I lost it at cards.
870
01:48:35,208 --> 01:48:37,208
-Get out of here.
-Let's go.
871
01:48:40,375 --> 01:48:41,791
Get lost.
872
01:48:46,125 --> 01:48:49,541
Such a beautiful jacket,
and you loose it with the whores.
873
01:48:49,625 --> 01:48:51,250
This isn't a life for you.
874
01:49:13,083 --> 01:49:14,958
What's this?
875
01:49:15,291 --> 01:49:17,166
I don't know.
876
01:49:17,625 --> 01:49:21,125
It hurts a bit. Probably a sting.
877
01:49:37,125 --> 01:49:42,000
PADUA 1775
878
01:50:31,875 --> 01:50:33,791
Your Excellency,
879
01:50:34,291 --> 01:50:38,041
I believe that the gossip about me
and my rivals' slander
880
01:50:38,125 --> 01:50:40,333
are not worthy of your ears.
881
01:50:44,333 --> 01:50:49,958
I am not sick because of an immoral life,
but for an entirely different reason.
882
01:50:52,791 --> 01:50:55,416
My life is filled with work and faith.
883
01:51:02,958 --> 01:51:05,083
May Your Excellency be reassured:
884
01:51:05,166 --> 01:51:07,583
My physical state is not good,
885
01:51:07,666 --> 01:51:11,666
but my head and my spirit are untouched.
886
01:51:14,583 --> 01:51:16,458
Here is La Nitetti.
887
01:51:18,208 --> 01:51:21,708
It won't be difficult
to adapt the text for it.
888
01:51:24,791 --> 01:51:29,166
I will honour the city of Padova
with my most beautiful composition.
889
01:51:30,250 --> 01:51:33,875
It's a duet from Demophon.
It needs to be made longer.
890
01:51:34,833 --> 01:51:37,166
Try to add repetitions.
891
01:51:37,625 --> 01:51:40,333
We'll see.
892
01:51:41,583 --> 01:51:46,333
I'll pay the expenses arising
from me not conducting it personally.
893
01:51:46,416 --> 01:51:49,208
Your humble and unworthy servant.
894
01:52:26,458 --> 01:52:28,791
I'm sorry about what happened.
895
01:52:31,708 --> 01:52:35,708
He wanted to lock me up
in the countryside.
896
01:52:35,916 --> 01:52:38,333
Forbid me to see my daughters.
897
01:52:40,333 --> 01:52:45,125
I was forbidden to see my brother.
Unfortunately.
898
01:52:48,291 --> 01:52:51,333
Do you want a bit of tobacco for strength?
899
01:52:53,458 --> 01:52:55,333
Tell me…
900
01:52:55,833 --> 01:52:57,708
Am I lost?
901
01:52:58,041 --> 01:52:59,916
No.
902
01:53:00,041 --> 01:53:02,333
We just need a good doctor.
903
01:53:05,708 --> 01:53:08,666
As a maestro am I finished?
904
01:53:09,083 --> 01:53:10,958
Of course not!
905
01:53:16,625 --> 01:53:19,791
The opera of the famous composer
Misliveczek known as "Il Boemo,"
906
01:53:19,875 --> 01:53:22,541
with Mrs. Neri and Mr. Rubinelli,
907
01:53:22,791 --> 01:53:25,875
was performed in a very well-lit theatre.
908
01:53:25,958 --> 01:53:28,458
The arias were received with excitement.
909
01:53:31,708 --> 01:53:33,500
You see…
910
01:53:34,541 --> 01:53:37,916
I'd like to work
jointly with a librettist.
911
01:53:39,208 --> 01:53:43,666
For the whole piece to come together.
The music and the lyrics.
912
01:53:46,208 --> 01:53:48,875
I'm sick of the old stories.
913
01:53:50,708 --> 01:53:56,250
I'd like to write an opera
closer to the life we actually live.
914
01:53:56,333 --> 01:53:59,291
You said it yourself once, remember?
915
01:54:01,500 --> 01:54:05,125
Will you help me find this poet in Naples?
916
01:54:05,791 --> 01:54:07,583
Yes.
917
01:54:08,416 --> 01:54:11,250
We will go when you're better.
918
01:57:28,833 --> 01:57:30,875
Forgive me, friend.
919
01:57:32,458 --> 01:57:34,916
But my life lacks meaning.
920
01:57:36,333 --> 01:57:38,208
You are a fighter.
921
01:57:38,666 --> 01:57:40,916
Don't be led astray.
922
01:57:42,500 --> 01:57:47,500
Follow the star that take you far.
Away from an unfavourable destiny.
923
01:57:51,666 --> 01:57:54,875
I never told you how much I loved you.
924
01:57:55,625 --> 01:57:57,500
I regret it.
925
01:58:01,291 --> 01:58:03,166
Pray for me.
926
01:58:04,458 --> 01:58:07,166
I believe in a merciful God.
927
01:58:07,250 --> 01:58:10,583
And one day, I hope, we will meet again.
928
01:59:28,375 --> 01:59:33,291
MUNICH 1777
929
02:00:21,458 --> 02:00:29,041
Farewell, my life.
930
02:00:31,541 --> 02:00:39,916
Farewell, my lost hope.
931
02:00:45,291 --> 02:00:51,458
May heaven
932
02:00:52,375 --> 02:00:58,083
Make you happier than me
933
02:01:00,833 --> 02:01:06,708
Preserve
934
02:01:07,333 --> 02:01:14,791
Your beautiful creation
935
02:01:15,500 --> 02:01:21,375
Eternal Gods
936
02:01:22,750 --> 02:01:25,958
And the days I shall loose
937
02:01:26,708 --> 02:01:29,500
Give to her
938
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:35,875
Lycidas
939
02:01:36,208 --> 02:01:38,083
Where are you?
940
02:01:39,541 --> 02:01:41,375
Lycidas
941
02:01:41,458 --> 02:01:45,083
Does Aristea know?
942
02:01:45,375 --> 02:01:49,208
She knows everything, my prince
Go to your wife's rescue
943
02:01:49,541 --> 02:01:53,750
What is it?
What happened?
944
02:01:54,458 --> 02:01:58,125
She suddenly lost all her senses
945
02:02:01,125 --> 02:02:03,333
Are you leaving?
946
02:02:03,500 --> 02:02:07,541
I am leaving
Take care of Aristea
947
02:02:07,916 --> 02:02:12,166
What will she say
when she regains consciousness?
948
02:02:12,750 --> 02:02:18,000
I have witnessed all of his impulses
949
02:02:18,708 --> 02:02:20,541
Lycidas!
950
02:02:20,791 --> 02:02:22,666
Listen!
951
02:02:28,250 --> 02:02:31,875
If she looks for me
952
02:02:33,250 --> 02:02:36,750
if she says
953
02:02:37,791 --> 02:02:45,208
"Where's my friend?"
954
02:02:46,750 --> 02:02:54,666
"Where's my friend?"
955
02:02:58,041 --> 02:03:06,541
Where's my unhappy friend
956
02:03:07,166 --> 02:03:10,541
Answer
957
02:03:11,791 --> 02:03:13,666
He is dead
958
02:03:19,541 --> 02:03:21,875
He is dead
959
02:03:24,833 --> 02:03:27,541
Oh, no!
960
02:03:28,375 --> 02:03:33,083
Such great sorrow
961
02:03:33,166 --> 02:03:40,291
Do not give it to her
962
02:03:41,500 --> 02:03:48,666
Because of me
963
02:03:50,166 --> 02:03:57,291
Answer, my friend
964
02:03:58,416 --> 02:04:01,875
Just
965
02:04:02,958 --> 02:04:05,708
Answer
966
02:04:07,125 --> 02:04:13,416
"He left, crying"
967
02:04:15,750 --> 02:04:25,041
"He left… crying"
968
02:04:43,583 --> 02:04:46,708
Such never-ending pain
969
02:04:47,125 --> 02:04:49,916
To leave my beloved
970
02:04:50,375 --> 02:04:54,041
Leave her forever
971
02:04:54,125 --> 02:04:56,666
Leave her like this!
972
02:04:57,458 --> 02:05:00,500
Such never-ending pain
973
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:04,041
To leave my love
974
02:05:04,333 --> 02:05:08,083
To leave her forever
975
02:05:08,166 --> 02:05:10,958
Leave her like this!
976
02:05:11,541 --> 02:05:15,041
Such never-ending pain
977
02:05:39,583 --> 02:05:42,541
Maestro! Bravo! Flawless performance!
978
02:05:42,625 --> 02:05:44,916
What a beautiful evening.
979
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:51,791
The Duke of Noja and Duke of San Paolo,
980
02:05:51,958 --> 02:05:55,000
are the pillars
of the new direction of the theatre.
981
02:05:55,083 --> 02:05:59,750
Excellent. My warmest congratulations.
Bravo. We're proud of you.
982
02:05:59,916 --> 02:06:04,375
Truly grand. The best
opera these old walls have ever heard.
983
02:06:04,458 --> 02:06:08,291
Nobody writes as well
as Maestro Myslivecek.
984
02:06:10,083 --> 02:06:14,208
Maestro, in the past years,
you've done so much for our theatre
985
02:06:14,291 --> 02:06:16,208
and our kingdom.
986
02:06:16,708 --> 02:06:20,625
We are the new blood of the theatre.
987
02:06:22,333 --> 02:06:28,166
But after all we are proud of
the glorious past to which you belong.
988
02:06:28,250 --> 02:06:32,041
With all the art you gave to the kingdom.
989
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:36,666
If you ever take a trip back to Naples,
990
02:06:37,125 --> 02:06:40,708
you should let us know.
We would be pleased.
991
02:06:41,541 --> 02:06:45,708
By the way, Wolfgang Mazard…
Do you know him well?
992
02:06:48,250 --> 02:06:52,791
Of course. I already told the previous
direction that he's an great virtuoso.
993
02:06:52,875 --> 02:06:54,791
We were thinking it'd be great
994
02:06:54,875 --> 02:06:59,375
to have a new opera written by
a Northerner such as yourself.
995
02:06:59,458 --> 02:07:02,416
Or Bianchi. We know him. He's excellent.
996
02:07:02,583 --> 02:07:05,291
Let's steal Luchesi from Cologne.
997
02:07:05,375 --> 02:07:08,500
-Oh, please.
-It'd cause a ruckus. What a great idea.
998
02:07:08,583 --> 02:07:10,458
Gentlemen!
999
02:07:20,041 --> 02:07:21,916
Maestro.
1000
02:07:24,500 --> 02:07:28,125
I prefer comedy, and you know that well.
1001
02:07:30,583 --> 02:07:33,291
But this opera is truly exceptional.
1002
02:07:34,833 --> 02:07:36,708
It brought me to life.
1003
02:07:37,666 --> 02:07:39,458
It is very…
1004
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:44,458
it made me feel a lot.
1005
02:07:47,125 --> 02:07:49,291
Because it's true,
1006
02:07:49,416 --> 02:07:51,291
really true,
1007
02:07:52,458 --> 02:07:54,333
very true.
1008
02:07:55,833 --> 02:07:59,625
When my parents left to rule Spain,
1009
02:08:00,333 --> 02:08:02,666
I was left all alone.
1010
02:08:03,416 --> 02:08:06,250
I was eight. I was very sad.
1011
02:08:06,583 --> 02:08:11,583
I slept until noon. I wanted to forget
about myself and my family.
1012
02:08:12,250 --> 02:08:14,458
Like that one… Megacles.
1013
02:08:14,833 --> 02:08:16,708
That's it, Megacles.
1014
02:08:17,125 --> 02:08:19,833
He wants to sleep so as not to think.
1015
02:08:20,416 --> 02:08:23,416
Because he can't bear
that he lost his wife.
1016
02:08:25,916 --> 02:08:28,833
I wanted to forget the world too.
1017
02:08:32,666 --> 02:08:35,375
Even now, when I think back, it hurts.
1018
02:08:37,375 --> 02:08:39,625
Thank you, Your Highness.
1019
02:08:39,708 --> 02:08:43,875
Maestro, you make our Austria proud.
1020
02:08:44,125 --> 02:08:46,666
And you bring joy to Naples.
1021
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:50,708
If I may, Your Highness, about Austria.
1022
02:08:51,083 --> 02:08:57,416
We were discussing next season.
Maestro suggested Wolfgang Massard.
1023
02:08:57,750 --> 02:08:59,333
Mozart?
1024
02:08:59,416 --> 02:09:02,375
Why that vagabond
who runs across the globe,
1025
02:09:02,458 --> 02:09:06,750
instead of serving my mother,
my brother and his homeland?
1026
02:09:07,583 --> 02:09:12,458
Do you want to make me angry
by protecting that useless young man?
1027
02:09:12,541 --> 02:09:16,500
No. He's simply the best, Your Highness.
1028
02:09:17,625 --> 02:09:19,500
You are the best.
1029
02:09:19,750 --> 02:09:21,625
At least this evening.
1030
02:09:22,083 --> 02:09:26,000
We might come listen to
your music again tomorrow.
1031
02:09:27,041 --> 02:09:31,125
If you wish, I could write for next year.
1032
02:09:34,541 --> 02:09:36,083
We'll see.
1033
02:09:36,166 --> 02:09:39,500
If I finish the hunt in time,
I might come listen again.
1034
02:09:40,583 --> 02:09:43,166
Above all, don't lose hope.
1035
02:10:12,083 --> 02:10:13,958
Boemo.
1036
02:10:16,125 --> 02:10:18,000
Caterina.
1037
02:10:19,250 --> 02:10:21,708
How was your time in Russia?
1038
02:10:22,333 --> 02:10:24,625
Seven years was too long.
1039
02:10:26,250 --> 02:10:28,791
I'm glad I'm back in my homeland.
1040
02:10:32,041 --> 02:10:33,916
I've missed your voice.
1041
02:10:35,250 --> 02:10:37,541
I'm looking forward to hearing you.
1042
02:11:35,958 --> 02:11:42,375
My dear love
1043
02:11:42,583 --> 02:11:47,875
I'm waiting and longing for you
1044
02:11:56,291 --> 02:11:58,458
It can't stay like this.
1045
02:11:59,666 --> 02:12:03,750
-You're still the same…
-I'm sorry, but the music is poor.
1046
02:12:04,291 --> 02:12:06,166
It lacks variation.
1047
02:12:07,208 --> 02:12:09,541
These are not arias but lullabies.
1048
02:12:09,625 --> 02:12:12,666
They'll think
I sold my vocal chords in Russia.
1049
02:12:12,750 --> 02:12:15,083
Have you forgotten the voice I have?
1050
02:12:16,166 --> 02:12:18,375
I know it better than you do.
1051
02:12:20,541 --> 02:12:22,916
These arias are just right for you.
1052
02:12:28,916 --> 02:12:31,250
Today we don't write as in the past.
1053
02:12:32,750 --> 02:12:35,250
The fashion in Europe is changing.
1054
02:12:36,875 --> 02:12:39,500
Music is becoming simpler.
1055
02:12:41,208 --> 02:12:43,083
More melody.
1056
02:12:43,750 --> 02:12:47,458
More feelings, inwardness, emotions.
1057
02:12:49,625 --> 02:12:52,000
That's what our time demands.
1058
02:12:58,458 --> 02:13:00,750
We're approaching better days.
1059
02:13:04,041 --> 02:13:05,916
Trust me.
1060
02:13:16,583 --> 02:13:22,250
…waiting and longing
1061
02:13:22,583 --> 02:13:25,166
And when
1062
02:13:25,833 --> 02:13:28,333
I see you
1063
02:13:28,625 --> 02:13:34,416
You console me
1064
02:13:39,250 --> 02:13:46,708
…you console me
1065
02:13:48,333 --> 02:13:53,833
You console me
1066
02:14:20,583 --> 02:14:25,291
The aria "Il caro mio bene"
and other pieces for the opera Armida
1067
02:14:25,375 --> 02:14:29,541
were refused by the singers
and management of the theatre.
1068
02:14:29,625 --> 02:14:32,750
They were replaced
by music from other composers.
1069
02:14:32,833 --> 02:14:36,041
A few years after Il Boemo's death,
1070
02:14:36,125 --> 02:14:41,750
W.A. Mozart took this aria
to create his famous "Ridente la calma."
