1
00:01:09,019 --> 00:01:10,580
Don't sing again, Carlo!
2
00:01:14,683 --> 00:01:15,927
Don't sing again!
3
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:22,326
They'll do this to you!
Your death is in your throat!
4
00:01:44,508 --> 00:01:46,450
Enough! Riccardo
Broschi...
5
00:01:46,556 --> 00:01:49,458
this introduction is unworthy
of what I've taught you.
6
00:01:50,620 --> 00:01:53,686
Maestro Porpora, please!
7
00:01:53,787 --> 00:01:56,886
You cannot judge
his score...
8
00:01:56,988 --> 00:02:00,086
until you've heard at
least the first part sung.
9
00:02:00,188 --> 00:02:02,097
These two...
10
00:02:02,204 --> 00:02:04,146
were made for each other.
11
00:02:05,244 --> 00:02:07,383
Then let us
hear this music.
12
00:02:07,483 --> 00:02:09,010
This joint
creation?by...
13
00:02:09,116 --> 00:02:11,058
your two sons,
Signor Broschi.
14
00:02:11,163 --> 00:02:13,847
That's what you
want, isn't it?
15
00:02:16,284 --> 00:02:17,909
Go on.
16
00:02:26,331 --> 00:02:27,793
Sing.
17
00:02:29,051 --> 00:02:30,873
What are you waiting for?
18
00:02:34,044 --> 00:02:36,084
Carlo Broschi, sing!
19
00:02:38,107 --> 00:02:39,449
Sing!
20
00:02:40,796 --> 00:02:43,698
You have ten seconds
to save your brother.
21
00:02:56,508 --> 00:02:58,101
Your voice, my boy.
22
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:00,376
Your voice!
23
00:03:01,436 --> 00:03:03,291
Let me hear your voice!
24
00:03:13,916 --> 00:03:17,560
Why did the castrato
die? Why? Why?
25
00:03:24,924 --> 00:03:28,404
Don't ever refuse your
voice to your brother.
26
00:03:28,508 --> 00:03:30,963
My sons must never
leave each other.
27
00:03:31,068 --> 00:03:32,890
I want you to swear it.
28
00:03:32,988 --> 00:03:36,468
I don't want them to do it
to me. I don't want to die!
29
00:03:36,571 --> 00:03:39,092
I don't want to die!
30
00:05:41,756 --> 00:05:43,545
Carlo! It's me, Riccardo!
31
00:05:45,884 --> 00:05:49,266
I'm here! I've spent three
years looking for you.
32
00:05:50,236 --> 00:05:51,697
Carlo, it's me!
33
00:05:51,804 --> 00:05:54,651
It's me, Carlo!
34
00:05:56,283 --> 00:05:57,527
Who's that?
35
00:05:57,627 --> 00:05:59,416
Who is he?
36
00:05:59,515 --> 00:06:01,687
It's his brother,
Your Majesty.
37
00:06:01,787 --> 00:06:03,249
Riccardo Broschi.
38
00:06:06,587 --> 00:06:08,692
It's me, Riccardo!
Let me go!
39
00:06:09,563 --> 00:06:11,418
Carlo, stop them!
40
00:06:12,156 --> 00:06:14,425
It's me, Riccardo!
41
00:06:14,523 --> 00:06:16,825
I'm Riccardo!
Make them stop!
42
00:06:24,315 --> 00:06:27,283
Naples 18 Years Earlier?
43
00:07:01,819 --> 00:07:03,642
Let's go, Carlo.
44
00:07:18,747 --> 00:07:20,570
This fellow seems...
45
00:07:20,667 --> 00:07:23,034
to be missing
a thing or two!
46
00:07:24,731 --> 00:07:27,698
Carlo, please! Stay calm.
47
00:07:36,892 --> 00:07:39,859
Let's hear it for
the trumpet player!
48
00:07:49,755 --> 00:07:51,762
Surely here...
49
00:07:51,867 --> 00:07:53,776
in the land of music...
50
00:07:53,883 --> 00:07:58,804
there must be a singer who
can take on my trumpeter!
51
00:09:01,915 --> 00:09:03,573
He's my brother.
52
00:09:56,283 --> 00:09:58,967
Hey, you!
What's your name?
53
00:09:59,067 --> 00:10:03,028
He mashed your famous
trumpet player into farina!
54
00:10:03,771 --> 00:10:05,266
Farinelli!
55
00:10:34,171 --> 00:10:36,505
The show continues,
ladies and gentlemen!
56
00:10:36,603 --> 00:10:41,786
The show continues.
Fill up the basket!
57
00:10:42,907 --> 00:10:45,143
Signor Farinelli!
Signor Farinelli!
58
00:10:45,243 --> 00:10:49,237
What do you want? This
isn't the time! Go away!
59
00:11:06,236 --> 00:11:08,058
A message from Handel!
60
00:11:09,019 --> 00:11:10,513
Hurry up!
61
00:11:12,219 --> 00:11:14,041
A message from Handel!
62
00:11:21,755 --> 00:11:26,130
I want young Farinelli to
accompany me to England.
63
00:11:26,235 --> 00:11:28,886
I wish to hire him for
my theater in London.
64
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:33,722
Well? What does young
Farinelli think of that?
65
00:11:33,820 --> 00:11:37,016
Young Farinelli?...
66
00:11:37,115 --> 00:11:39,930
wonders why the
Maestro thought of him?
67
00:11:40,027 --> 00:11:41,686
You amused me.
68
00:11:41,787 --> 00:11:45,202
Your duel with the trumpet
was very entertaining.
69
00:11:46,619 --> 00:11:49,685
Well, I'm
waiting, Farinelli.
70
00:11:49,788 --> 00:11:52,406
What sum did
the Maestro...
71
00:11:52,507 --> 00:11:56,980
have in mind to secure the
services of the Broschi brothers?
72
00:11:58,043 --> 00:12:01,359
I'll only take
the youngster.
73
00:12:01,467 --> 00:12:02,994
If he works hard...
74
00:12:03,099 --> 00:12:05,782
I may give
him a contract.
75
00:12:05,883 --> 00:12:08,436
I'm afraid you don't
understand, Maestro.
76
00:12:08,539 --> 00:12:11,954
Contract or no contract, the
Broschi brothers stay together.
77
00:12:12,059 --> 00:12:14,514
I have to buy
them by the pair?
78
00:12:15,995 --> 00:12:18,264
I am a composer, Maestro.
79
00:12:18,363 --> 00:12:20,218
Dear God!
80
00:12:21,723 --> 00:12:24,178
Farinelli sings
what I compose...
81
00:12:24,283 --> 00:12:26,171
especially for him.
82
00:12:27,515 --> 00:12:31,345
- He sings just about anything.
- I don't quite understand.
83
00:12:31,451 --> 00:12:34,964
Anything at all.
That's what I said.
84
00:12:36,923 --> 00:12:38,746
He sings just
about anything.
85
00:12:40,603 --> 00:12:42,992
Don't you see that
in his hands...
86
00:12:43,099 --> 00:12:46,514
you'll never be more than
a sideshow attraction?
87
00:12:49,467 --> 00:12:52,085
Do you have so little
regard for music...
88
00:12:52,187 --> 00:12:54,643
that you'd waste your
voice singing rubbish?
89
00:12:54,747 --> 00:12:57,595
Without music,
you don't exist.
90
00:12:57,691 --> 00:12:59,928
You're just a
creature without balls.
91
00:13:00,027 --> 00:13:02,001
Neither man, nor woman.
92
00:13:02,971 --> 00:13:05,556
Your voice is the
only justification...
93
00:13:05,659 --> 00:13:07,481
for your existence.
94
00:13:07,579 --> 00:13:09,073
In here...
95
00:13:09,179 --> 00:13:12,113
there's merely an organ
that nature lets you enjoy...
96
00:13:13,947 --> 00:13:16,631
so you'll forget how
ridiculous that one is.
97
00:13:24,347 --> 00:13:26,234
May God forgive me!
98
00:13:34,875 --> 00:13:37,177
Some Years Later?
99
00:13:37,275 --> 00:13:39,184
Riccardo.
100
00:13:39,291 --> 00:13:42,586
Why do you keep
saying Riccardo??
101
00:13:42,683 --> 00:13:44,625
I'm almost
finished. Wait.
102
00:13:44,731 --> 00:13:48,146
You've been rewriting Act Two
of Orpheus?for ten years!
103
00:13:51,419 --> 00:13:53,939
Will he ever get
to the underworld?
104
00:13:54,683 --> 00:13:55,828
Wait.
105
00:13:55,931 --> 00:13:58,582
- Is it really finished?
- Well, finished...
106
00:13:58,683 --> 00:14:02,905
Finished...
Uh, finished...
107
00:14:03,739 --> 00:14:06,105
It needs more work,
but you'll see...
108
00:14:06,203 --> 00:14:08,821
the flourishes
are diabolical!
109
00:14:08,923 --> 00:14:12,665
You'll have to go without
inhaling for at least one minute.
110
00:14:15,835 --> 00:14:18,355
I can manage one minute.
111
00:14:20,187 --> 00:14:22,009
Give it to me.
112
00:14:26,299 --> 00:14:27,706
All right.
113
00:14:30,331 --> 00:14:31,575
Try it.
114
00:14:31,675 --> 00:14:33,334
Sing!
115
00:14:59,579 --> 00:15:01,237
Are you crazy?
116
00:15:01,339 --> 00:15:03,248
What are you doing?
117
00:15:04,859 --> 00:15:07,641
- It still needs much more work.
- Devil!
118
00:15:07,739 --> 00:15:10,106
You traitor!
119
00:15:10,203 --> 00:15:14,359
Don't be crazy, brother!
Orpheus?is a beautiful creation!
120
00:15:14,459 --> 00:15:18,769
You're crazy, brother!
121
00:15:19,803 --> 00:15:21,461
Orpheus?!
122
00:20:32,635 --> 00:20:34,457
Listen to them, Carlo!
123
00:20:34,555 --> 00:20:36,377
You hear? It's a triumph!
124
00:20:36,475 --> 00:20:38,580
We're the
greatest, Carlo.
125
00:20:38,683 --> 00:20:40,505
If Father could see this!
126
00:20:40,603 --> 00:20:42,774
If he could see all this!
127
00:20:42,875 --> 00:20:45,744
Last night I
dreamt about him.
128
00:20:45,851 --> 00:20:47,760
He was in this theater.
129
00:20:48,762 --> 00:20:50,584
He was here, Carlo!
130
00:20:51,835 --> 00:20:53,657
He was right here!
131
00:20:53,755 --> 00:20:55,860
He cried tears
of happiness!
132
00:20:55,963 --> 00:20:58,035
Tears of happiness.
133
00:20:58,139 --> 00:21:00,440
He was so proud of us.
134
00:21:04,155 --> 00:21:06,457
You were marvelous!
135
00:21:09,211 --> 00:21:11,699
Please, leave me alone.
136
00:21:11,802 --> 00:21:13,777
I'm not feeling
receptive.
137
00:21:14,842 --> 00:21:17,014
One should
seize the moment!
138
00:21:19,611 --> 00:21:22,644
Do you realize how
arousing you are?
139
00:21:29,242 --> 00:21:32,144
It is hoped that
you'll accept this.
140
00:21:39,130 --> 00:21:40,624
And read this letter.
141
00:21:48,219 --> 00:21:50,674
Tearing Countess Mauer
away from her book...
142
00:21:50,779 --> 00:21:53,778
is something only
you could accomplish.
143
00:21:55,643 --> 00:21:58,360
That's a very valuable
gift, Signor Farinelli.
144
00:22:00,474 --> 00:22:02,362
I'll leave.
145
00:22:46,330 --> 00:22:47,672
Silk...
146
00:22:49,051 --> 00:22:50,392
satin...
147
00:22:52,027 --> 00:22:53,368
velvet.
148
00:22:55,003 --> 00:22:57,010
Ah castrato!
149
00:25:09,754 --> 00:25:11,577
It's the pact, madame.
150
00:25:31,162 --> 00:25:34,904
I've always believed,
Signor Farinelli...
151
00:25:34,970 --> 00:25:37,305
that books could
supply our minds...
152
00:25:37,403 --> 00:25:39,377
with all the
necessary sustenance.
153
00:25:41,947 --> 00:25:44,849
As to the feelings the
arts inspired in me...
154
00:25:44,954 --> 00:25:47,921
they always appealed to
my highest faculties...
155
00:25:48,026 --> 00:25:49,651
to my intelligence.
156
00:25:49,754 --> 00:25:52,820
Those feelings, Signor
Farinelli, I can control.
157
00:25:52,922 --> 00:25:57,144
But what I felt yesterday
evening when I heard you sing...
158
00:25:59,035 --> 00:26:01,522
is beyond my
understanding.
159
00:26:01,626 --> 00:26:04,823
What you aroused in me...
160
00:26:06,490 --> 00:26:11,192
is very similar to
a feeling of love.
161
00:26:17,754 --> 00:26:19,510
I believe...
162
00:26:19,610 --> 00:26:21,552
that...
163
00:26:21,658 --> 00:26:24,658
you were responsible...
164
00:26:24,762 --> 00:26:28,144
for my first
musical orgasm.
165
00:26:33,339 --> 00:26:36,121
At this point,
Signor Farinelli...
166
00:26:36,219 --> 00:26:38,226
do you really
need your brother?
167
00:26:40,763 --> 00:26:44,953
Do you need him in
order to get an erection?
168
00:26:46,875 --> 00:26:51,479
Can you come, in spite of
what they took from you?
169
00:26:54,650 --> 00:26:57,782
They left me enough to
satisfy all the world's women.
170
00:26:57,882 --> 00:27:00,151
What is it like?
171
00:27:01,946 --> 00:27:03,288
Stupendous.
172
00:27:04,250 --> 00:27:05,592
And safe.
173
00:27:06,778 --> 00:27:08,601
Never safe.
174
00:27:12,699 --> 00:27:15,601
Carlo supplies
the climax.
175
00:27:15,706 --> 00:27:18,161
Riccardo plants the seed.
176
00:27:19,098 --> 00:27:20,822
Together...
177
00:27:20,922 --> 00:27:24,054
the Broschi brothers
are formidable...
178
00:27:24,154 --> 00:27:26,391
and a perfect team.
179
00:27:27,451 --> 00:27:29,490
Sing for me, castrato...
180
00:27:29,594 --> 00:27:31,416
just once more.
181
00:27:34,490 --> 00:27:38,680
Better ask your husband or
your lover for that, madame.
182
00:28:29,946 --> 00:28:31,473
The Venice contract.
183
00:28:32,858 --> 00:28:34,713
The Bologna contract.
184
00:28:37,338 --> 00:28:40,120
Carlo, we're
invited to Vienna!
185
00:28:48,122 --> 00:28:49,464
For you.
186
00:28:50,554 --> 00:28:52,016
Handel!
187
00:28:58,842 --> 00:29:02,257
What does he want?
What does he want now?
188
00:29:02,362 --> 00:29:04,501
He's coming to
Dresden to hear me.
189
00:29:07,418 --> 00:29:08,596
Oh, really?
190
00:29:08,698 --> 00:29:12,627
He won't hear you.
We're not going!
191
00:29:17,242 --> 00:29:18,803
This one's from Porpora.
192
00:29:21,664 --> 00:29:24,980
Carlo, what's
wrong? Carlo?
193
00:29:25,993 --> 00:29:29,605
My voice. It's gone!
194
00:29:29,705 --> 00:29:31,877
That's impossible!
195
00:29:31,977 --> 00:29:33,504
It's gone!
196
00:29:33,609 --> 00:29:34,950
Carlo!
197
00:29:36,425 --> 00:29:37,440
Stop!
198
00:29:49,592 --> 00:29:51,414
Don't just stand there!
199
00:29:51,512 --> 00:29:53,650
Put the wood on the fire.
200
00:29:53,752 --> 00:29:55,891
Quickly! In
the fireplace.
201
00:29:57,304 --> 00:29:59,693
These people don't
understand anything!
202
00:30:00,664 --> 00:30:02,005
Faster!
203
00:30:02,104 --> 00:30:03,446
Hurry up!
204
00:30:04,888 --> 00:30:07,223
Carlo, eat.
205
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,207
You have to eat.
206
00:30:21,656 --> 00:30:23,544
You have a fever.
207
00:30:31,032 --> 00:30:33,137
Tell me about it again.
208
00:30:34,136 --> 00:30:35,958
Don't start again.
209
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,902
It does you no good.
210
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,447
That nightmare
keeps coming back.
211
00:30:43,544 --> 00:30:45,933
It haunts me, Riccardo.
212
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,014
It's like an
endless race.
213
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,942
I never fall off.
214
00:30:50,904 --> 00:30:53,490
If I could just
dream that I fall off.
215
00:30:54,744 --> 00:30:56,500
Help me.
216
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,902
I've already told
you a hundred times.
217
00:30:59,992 --> 00:31:02,097
Tell me again.
218
00:31:14,072 --> 00:31:16,079
When our father died...
219
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,022
you became very ill.
220
00:31:22,264 --> 00:31:25,580
One day the fever
was so high...
221
00:31:26,808 --> 00:31:29,044
you were delirious.
222
00:31:31,032 --> 00:31:32,920
You went to get Helios.
223
00:31:35,352 --> 00:31:37,326
That horse was a demon.
224
00:31:38,392 --> 00:31:40,214
Something occurred
between you two.
225
00:31:41,528 --> 00:31:43,950
He always led
you toward danger.
226
00:31:46,264 --> 00:31:49,078
Off you went on
that terrifying ride.
227
00:31:50,232 --> 00:31:52,501
I got there too late.
228
00:31:55,288 --> 00:31:57,110
You had already
fallen off.
229
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,288
Carlo.
230
00:32:03,384 --> 00:32:05,326
Carlo.
231
00:32:08,088 --> 00:32:11,437
We did all we could
to save your life.
232
00:32:13,112 --> 00:32:14,606
To save my life.
233
00:32:15,352 --> 00:32:17,807
To save your life!
234
00:32:19,032 --> 00:32:20,374
A little opium.
235
00:32:20,472 --> 00:32:22,839
Yes, some opium,
and I'll sleep.
236
00:32:25,559 --> 00:32:27,382
Opium makes
you delirious.
237
00:32:28,184 --> 00:32:30,289
We have to go to Dresden.
238
00:32:38,328 --> 00:32:39,670
We will.
239
00:32:40,792 --> 00:32:44,883
Handel wants to see us?
Handel wants to hear us sing?
240
00:32:44,984 --> 00:32:47,405
We'll go to Dresden.
We'll show him...
241
00:32:47,512 --> 00:32:50,359
what the Broschi
brothers can do!
242
00:32:54,424 --> 00:32:56,246
If I could
sing Orpheus?...
243
00:33:00,023 --> 00:33:02,390
That's impossible, Carlo.
244
00:33:03,511 --> 00:33:06,064
It won't be ready yet.
245
00:33:06,168 --> 00:33:08,077
You know that very well.
246
00:33:10,072 --> 00:33:11,698
You know it.
247
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:15,093
You'll never finish it.
248
00:33:15,192 --> 00:33:17,330
I'll never sing it.
249
00:33:46,648 --> 00:33:50,390
Will you speak to me
today without a middleman?
250
00:33:51,416 --> 00:33:53,521
What grandeur!
What poise.
251
00:33:53,624 --> 00:33:58,065
Seeing you like this, I
understand your irresistible rise.
252
00:33:58,168 --> 00:34:02,162
It's been a long time
since I heard you sing.
253
00:34:02,264 --> 00:34:06,126
As the King of England's
envoy, I had to...
254
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,200
Am I distracting you?
255
00:34:10,807 --> 00:34:14,124
His Majesty will do anything
to have you at Covent Garden.
256
00:34:14,232 --> 00:34:16,501
He has a passion
for singers...
257
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,356
and snuff boxes.
258
00:34:19,416 --> 00:34:21,041
To be brief...
259
00:34:21,144 --> 00:34:24,439
the King wants to add
you to his collection.
260
00:34:24,536 --> 00:34:26,576
At any price.
261
00:34:27,352 --> 00:34:30,897
And you, Maestro,
do you need me?
262
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,131
They say your voice
is exceptional.
263
00:34:34,232 --> 00:34:37,614
If you manage to arouse the
slightest emotion in me...
264
00:34:37,720 --> 00:34:39,575
with this awful
jumble of notes...
265
00:34:39,672 --> 00:34:42,421
then you're the
world's greatest singer.
266
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,975
You still have
to prove to me...
267
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,283
that you're more than
a singing machine.
268
00:34:48,344 --> 00:34:53,265
Give me what none of your kind
has ever managed to give me.
269
00:34:53,368 --> 00:34:56,182
And to answer
your question...
270
00:34:56,279 --> 00:34:59,029
I need nobody,
Farinelli, nobody.
271
00:34:59,128 --> 00:35:00,469
You're sweating.
272
00:35:00,568 --> 00:35:03,383
It's ruining your makeup.
273
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,480
I'll come for your answer
after the performance...
274
00:35:06,584 --> 00:35:08,624
in your dressing room.
275
00:35:08,728 --> 00:35:10,997
We'll talk things over.
276
00:36:36,472 --> 00:36:37,901
Signor Broschi!
277
00:36:39,607 --> 00:36:41,014
How is he?
278
00:36:41,112 --> 00:36:42,541
He's asleep.
279
00:36:42,647 --> 00:36:45,200
I must see him!
280
00:36:45,304 --> 00:36:48,686
- I'll wait all night if necessary.
- What do you want?
281
00:36:48,792 --> 00:36:51,443
I really have to speak
to him. It's urgent.
282
00:36:51,543 --> 00:36:52,885
I'm here.
283
00:36:52,984 --> 00:36:55,569
No, I'm sorry. My
message is not for you.
284
00:36:55,672 --> 00:36:58,039
It's for Signor
Farinelli in person.
285
00:36:58,136 --> 00:37:00,110
- In person?
- In person.
286
00:37:05,847 --> 00:37:08,498
I'll come...
287
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,804
for your answer...
288
00:37:10,904 --> 00:37:12,758
in your dressing room. "
289
00:37:16,728 --> 00:37:18,419
Where is he?
290
00:37:18,519 --> 00:37:20,494
Who?
291
00:37:23,223 --> 00:37:24,750
Maestro Handel.
292
00:37:26,967 --> 00:37:28,309
Where is he?
293
00:37:28,408 --> 00:37:31,375
The performance
was canceled.
294
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,618
He left like
everyone else.
295
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,858
He was supposed to come.
296
00:37:43,287 --> 00:37:44,978
Who are you?
297
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,803
Alexandra.
298
00:37:46,904 --> 00:37:48,846
I'm Alexandra Lerris.
299
00:37:49,687 --> 00:37:51,509
But you don't know me.
300
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,302
I've brought
you a message...
301
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,254
from Maestro Porpora.
302
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,309
He's desperate. He needs
you. Do you hear me?
303
00:38:04,663 --> 00:38:07,249
Do you hear me?
304
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,443
Look at me.
305
00:38:11,544 --> 00:38:15,221
Since he took over the Nobles
Theater, he's fought hard.
306
00:38:15,319 --> 00:38:18,735
But he's being ruined by the
King's and Handel's theater.
307
00:38:19,959 --> 00:38:22,709
His competition has
an unfair advantage.
308
00:38:22,808 --> 00:38:25,142
He needs you,
Farinelli. He does.
309
00:38:25,783 --> 00:38:28,533
You must help Porpora.
Come to London.
310
00:38:29,688 --> 00:38:32,655
- Come help him.
- I'm afraid he didn't hear you.
311
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,702
It's the opium.
312
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,374
London, 1734?
313
00:39:44,439 --> 00:39:46,261
Try this wine,
Signor Farinelli.
314
00:39:46,359 --> 00:39:49,109
I have it sent from France
from the vineyards...
315
00:39:49,207 --> 00:39:51,247
that I inherited
from my father.
316
00:39:58,199 --> 00:40:01,582
Would you kindly
look in my direction?
317
00:40:01,687 --> 00:40:04,983
I know I look frightening,
but I'm really quite nice.
318
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,396
Forgive me. How
old are you, child?
319
00:40:08,503 --> 00:40:10,478
How strange.
320
00:40:10,584 --> 00:40:13,104
Child?is what
my mother calls me.
321
00:40:13,207 --> 00:40:14,931
I'm 12.
322
00:40:16,087 --> 00:40:18,957
But I'm really
much older.
323
00:40:19,063 --> 00:40:22,412
That's the big
advantage of being ill.
324
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,269
My name is Benedict.
325
00:40:25,367 --> 00:40:27,506
But I'm not
blessed?at all.
326
00:40:29,463 --> 00:40:33,238
Would your singers
defect to Covent Garden?
327
00:40:34,679 --> 00:40:36,502
Sell themselves
to Handel?
328
00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:39,447
All's fair in the war
between our theaters.
329
00:40:39,544 --> 00:40:41,649
And the singers know it.
330
00:40:41,751 --> 00:40:44,468
Some of them extort
a fortune from us.
331
00:40:47,287 --> 00:40:49,458
I suspect Handel
encourages such blackmail.
332
00:40:49,559 --> 00:40:52,428
I doubt that he'd
meet their demands.
333
00:40:52,536 --> 00:40:54,391
Although the King
supports his theater...
334
00:40:54,487 --> 00:40:57,040
he's almost as
broke as we are.
335
00:40:58,231 --> 00:41:00,948
Is my nose out of place?
336
00:41:01,047 --> 00:41:02,771
Why are you
staring at me?
337
00:41:02,871 --> 00:41:05,719
I admire your
nerve, madame...
338
00:41:05,816 --> 00:41:07,670
in daring to defy Handel.
339
00:41:07,767 --> 00:41:10,582
Women are very strong,
Signor Farinelli.
340
00:41:12,088 --> 00:41:14,324
Men's weaknesses
make it necessary.
341
00:41:42,456 --> 00:41:45,423
Bravo! Fantastic!
342
00:41:52,471 --> 00:41:54,097
What is that?
343
00:41:54,199 --> 00:41:57,014
Put those flowers away.
You look ridiculous.
344
00:42:05,207 --> 00:42:07,443
Alexandra, there's
his brother.
345
00:42:07,543 --> 00:42:09,267
Beware of Riccardo.
346
00:42:09,367 --> 00:42:11,342
They say that the
Broschi brothers...
347
00:42:11,447 --> 00:42:14,415
share everything,
even their conquests.
348
00:46:34,007 --> 00:46:37,684
I know I'm late. But you've
provoked such an uproar.
349
00:46:37,783 --> 00:46:42,039
Here we are, alone, while
all of London clamors for you.
350
00:46:43,159 --> 00:46:46,454
Carlo, dear brother, you're
crazy. But I love you.
351
00:46:46,551 --> 00:46:50,707
When I said you wouldn't attend
the reception, it was as if...
352
00:46:50,807 --> 00:46:53,142
I'd announced the
end of the world!
353
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,818
I'm flattered, Carlo.
Flattered and moved.
354
00:46:58,167 --> 00:47:00,850
Yes, yes. I'm moved.
355
00:47:00,951 --> 00:47:03,187
And dying of
hunger and thirst.
356
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:06,613
Let's drink!
357
00:47:27,191 --> 00:47:30,540
Tonight I'd like to have
every woman in the world.
358
00:47:38,046 --> 00:47:43,125
It's been too long since we
shared a real brotherly meal.
359
00:47:44,794 --> 00:47:46,900
Porpora is overjoyed.
360
00:47:47,941 --> 00:47:49,723
Nobody attended Handel's
theater this evening.
361
00:47:50,288 --> 00:47:52,364
He had to cancel
the performance.
362
00:47:52,849 --> 00:47:55,411
All of London was
with us at the Nobles.
363
00:47:57,112 --> 00:47:59,995
To listen to us,
Carlo, your voice...
364
00:48:00,700 --> 00:48:01,778
and my music!
365
00:48:03,524 --> 00:48:05,261
I love you, Carlo.
366
00:48:07,836 --> 00:48:09,243
And my new opera...
367
00:48:09,609 --> 00:48:11,421
will make history.
368
00:48:14,218 --> 00:48:16,017
It's shit!
369
00:48:16,713 --> 00:48:18,497
What?
370
00:48:18,732 --> 00:48:20,341
You heard perfectly well.
371
00:48:21,820 --> 00:48:23,825
Then why all
this acclaim?
372
00:48:24,201 --> 00:48:26,286
Are all these
people wrong?
373
00:48:27,119 --> 00:48:30,604
Why did they applaud?
374
00:48:36,572 --> 00:48:37,726
What's wrong with you?
375
00:48:38,454 --> 00:48:40,054
You're never satisfied.
376
00:48:42,273 --> 00:48:46,142
All Europe is at our feet.
What more do you want?
377
00:48:47,641 --> 00:48:49,082
What's wrong, Carlo?
378
00:48:51,798 --> 00:48:52,995
Talk to me, Carlo.
379
00:48:55,149 --> 00:48:58,242
Don't worry about a thing.
You were magnificent.
380
00:48:58,959 --> 00:49:02,015
It's completely
unnoticeable, believe me.
381
00:49:02,374 --> 00:49:03,882
Just a tiny tremolo.
382
00:49:04,682 --> 00:49:08,735
So tiny that it only happens in
the very highest appoggiaturas.
383
00:49:08,769 --> 00:49:11,018
Nobody noticed
it, I swear.
384
00:49:11,959 --> 00:49:13,626
I spotted it a
while back, but...
385
00:49:15,298 --> 00:49:16,316
Are you feeling better?
386
00:49:32,861 --> 00:49:34,065
You hear that, Riccardo?
387
00:49:34,740 --> 00:49:35,989
After all,
you're not deaf.
388
00:49:37,195 --> 00:49:39,249
You substitute virtuosity
with inspiration.
389
00:49:39,951 --> 00:49:42,137
All those embellishments
and flourishes...
390
00:49:42,867 --> 00:49:44,364
all those adornments...
391
00:49:44,770 --> 00:49:47,321
that you heap on
to your scores!
392
00:49:49,254 --> 00:49:50,700
I invent them
for your voice.
393
00:49:52,105 --> 00:49:53,382
Forget about my voice!
394
00:49:54,988 --> 00:49:57,310
I can't. You
know I can't.
395
00:49:58,568 --> 00:50:00,209
I promised our father.
396
00:50:01,317 --> 00:50:03,405
Better think
about the music.
397
00:50:04,377 --> 00:50:06,009
It should
touch the heart.
398
00:50:06,577 --> 00:50:09,540
Find the true,
essential feeling.
399
00:50:11,367 --> 00:50:15,420
I want your music to rouse
that fragment of the infinite...
400
00:50:16,070 --> 00:50:18,153
that lies asleep
in their bellies.
401
00:50:19,228 --> 00:50:21,153
That's what I ask of you.
402
00:50:22,310 --> 00:50:25,382
Such ingratitude!
What about Orpheus??
403
00:50:26,302 --> 00:50:27,121
Orpheus?!
404
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:29,723
Orpheus?doesn't exist.
405
00:50:30,493 --> 00:50:32,046
You'll never finish it.
406
00:50:36,310 --> 00:50:38,129
I don't lack inspiration.
407
00:50:40,899 --> 00:50:42,364
I lack the time!
408
00:50:43,529 --> 00:50:45,366
You take all my time.
409
00:51:22,657 --> 00:51:24,590
Rise, Signor Farinelli.
410
00:51:25,244 --> 00:51:28,405
Permit the Prince of
Wales to pay you homage.
411
00:51:28,817 --> 00:51:32,129
The Nobles Theater is
eternally grateful to you...
412
00:51:32,163 --> 00:51:34,341
for saving its honor,
as well as the honor...
413
00:51:35,845 --> 00:51:38,042
of this country's
nobility.
414
00:51:37,742 --> 00:51:40,776
My voice is at the service
of music, Your Highness.
415
00:51:44,463 --> 00:51:45,649
Your voice...
416
00:51:46,229 --> 00:51:47,183
Signor Farinelli...
417
00:51:48,008 --> 00:51:49,668
attracts the most
discerning audiences.
418
00:51:49,827 --> 00:51:53,098
And despite the support
of His Majesty...
419
00:51:53,253 --> 00:51:56,434
you're stealing from Handel
his last remaining listeners.
420
00:51:56,904 --> 00:51:58,359
Not that we're
displeased!
421
00:52:13,492 --> 00:52:15,687
What do you mean?
422
00:52:15,578 --> 00:52:17,966
These operas Handel
composes in three weeks...
423
00:52:18,616 --> 00:52:19,759
are an insult
to his audience.
424
00:52:20,503 --> 00:52:21,997
- Who spread this slander?
- Rumors.
425
00:52:22,795 --> 00:52:24,480
Rumors that you
stoop to peddle, sir!
426
00:52:25,950 --> 00:52:29,175
- Have you heard these operas, sir?
- You're joking, young lady.
427
00:52:29,855 --> 00:52:33,023
That would be treason. We
never attend Covent Garden.
428
00:52:33,278 --> 00:52:37,912
I have heard them. They surpass
anything one hears anywhere else.
429
00:52:38,483 --> 00:52:41,916
I can't imagine Handel's work
surpasses Maestro Porpora's work.
430
00:52:42,764 --> 00:52:44,383
Or that of
Signor Broschi.
431
00:52:45,172 --> 00:52:48,417
You're an ass, sir. You
don't deserve to have ears!
432
00:52:48,914 --> 00:52:50,680
Long after posterity
has forgotten...
433
00:52:51,087 --> 00:52:52,573
that you ever lived...
434
00:52:52,607 --> 00:52:57,858
it will preserve Handel's
name with infinite respect.
435
00:52:58,485 --> 00:53:00,084
Your conceited
attitude...
436
00:53:00,544 --> 00:53:02,692
is an insult to
all musicians.
437
00:53:03,442 --> 00:53:05,542
I'd like to erase from my
memory this cursed day...
438
00:53:05,970 --> 00:53:07,087
when I sang for you!
439
00:53:41,103 --> 00:53:41,954
You're cheating, Carlo.
440
00:53:43,690 --> 00:53:44,416
He always cheated.
441
00:53:47,015 --> 00:53:48,580
He can't stand to lose.
442
00:53:49,024 --> 00:53:49,494
Neither can I.
443
00:53:51,112 --> 00:53:52,833
But I don't cheat.
444
00:53:57,535 --> 00:54:00,022
I taught you how to
sing, Carlo Broschi.
445
00:54:00,752 --> 00:54:02,555
Don't forget that
I was your teacher.
446
00:54:04,118 --> 00:54:05,655
Don't add ingratitude...
447
00:54:06,197 --> 00:54:07,577
to your insolence.
448
00:54:13,018 --> 00:54:14,534
Say something.
449
00:54:16,917 --> 00:54:18,257
What is he thinking?
450
00:54:23,135 --> 00:54:25,777
He's decided to humiliate
us with his scorn.
451
00:54:28,151 --> 00:54:30,210
We're wasting our time.
452
00:54:30,779 --> 00:54:34,810
Tonight the Broschis have
decided to remain silent.
453
00:54:39,646 --> 00:54:41,064
I hardly knew my father.
454
00:54:42,663 --> 00:54:45,689
It was I who asked to hang his
portraits throughout the house.
455
00:54:47,729 --> 00:54:49,069
My mother was
afraid she'd suffer.
456
00:54:49,593 --> 00:54:51,370
But actually,
it helped us.
457
00:54:54,557 --> 00:54:58,297
I no longer have a father. And you
will never have children, right?
458
00:54:59,140 --> 00:55:00,654
It's the greatest
sorrow of my life.
459
00:55:01,764 --> 00:55:02,822
Marry my mother!
460
00:55:03,215 --> 00:55:04,347
Let us choose each other.
461
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:07,700
You'll be my father,
I'll really be your son.
462
00:55:10,445 --> 00:55:13,147
I know the Church
forbids castrati to marry.
463
00:55:14,614 --> 00:55:16,857
But my mother is
not a Catholic.
464
00:55:19,175 --> 00:55:21,410
I know that she's
really very lonely.
465
00:55:23,189 --> 00:55:25,530
I'm very touched by your
suggestion, Benedict.
466
00:55:26,776 --> 00:55:30,059
I thank God for the
love you bear me.
467
00:55:30,831 --> 00:55:32,187
God has nothing
to do with it.
468
00:55:32,932 --> 00:55:35,353
It's a private gift.
469
00:57:38,728 --> 00:57:40,062
Let's not stay here.
470
00:57:40,705 --> 00:57:42,432
- What are you doing here?
- Let's go, please.
471
00:57:44,998 --> 00:57:48,072
- Were you following me?
- It's not the first time.
472
00:57:48,583 --> 00:57:51,508
What I just did put us in grave
danger. Here, read it later.
473
00:57:53,811 --> 00:57:55,304
How did you
get this copy?
474
00:57:56,186 --> 00:57:57,823
It's no copy. It's
Handel's original score.
475
00:57:58,676 --> 00:58:00,340
I stole it for you.
476
00:58:02,023 --> 00:58:03,289
My legs are
still trembling.
477
00:58:05,287 --> 00:58:06,124
You're insane!
478
00:58:06,279 --> 00:58:07,221
Yes.
479
00:58:13,721 --> 00:58:15,774
You've been singing Broschi
for too long, haven't you?
480
00:58:17,525 --> 00:58:19,992
You're starving for music
worthy of your voice.
481
00:58:22,542 --> 00:58:24,060
Now it's in your hands.
482
00:58:28,795 --> 00:58:31,908
You need your brother
even for a kiss?
483
00:59:20,387 --> 00:59:23,005
Where were you, Carlo?
I'm talking to you!
484
00:59:23,715 --> 00:59:26,963
You shouldn't be out in the
cold. It hurts your voice.
485
00:59:30,242 --> 00:59:31,411
Why is she here?
486
00:59:31,881 --> 00:59:35,048
We've been waiting for you,
Carlo, with great impatience.
487
00:59:41,448 --> 00:59:43,495
You're disheveled,
young lady.
488
00:59:55,401 --> 00:59:57,659
Did my brother give
you what you expected?
489
01:00:06,934 --> 01:00:08,757
You didn't answer
my question.
490
01:00:34,596 --> 01:00:37,791
Calm down. A night with
her will do us both good.
491
01:00:38,543 --> 01:00:40,909
I don't want to.
Have her taken home.
492
01:00:41,295 --> 01:00:42,388
Let me have her.
493
01:00:45,065 --> 01:00:46,556
Don't break our pact.
494
01:00:47,212 --> 01:00:48,544
Let me. I need her.
495
01:00:52,651 --> 01:00:53,918
I wouldn't
advise it, Carlo.
496
01:00:54,601 --> 01:00:56,668
You're good at two
things, Carlo Broschi.
497
01:00:57,266 --> 01:00:58,863
Betrayal and loneliness!
498
01:00:59,552 --> 01:01:01,254
We no longer need
each other, castrato!
499
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:03,528
Castrato!
500
01:01:09,363 --> 01:01:10,358
I beg you to stay.
501
01:01:12,418 --> 01:01:13,642
I'm sorry.
502
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:15,621
Without him,
it's no good.
503
01:02:00,457 --> 01:02:02,436
To your health!
504
01:02:13,682 --> 01:02:14,743
My dear Margaret!
505
01:02:17,282 --> 01:02:19,407
Will you marry me?
506
01:02:35,607 --> 01:02:38,191
I'm afraid you didn't
hear my request.
507
01:02:38,669 --> 01:02:40,494
I heard it perfectly,
my friend...
508
01:02:41,285 --> 01:02:42,612
and I thank you for it.
509
01:02:44,909 --> 01:02:48,262
Forgive my laughter. It was
a stupid defensive reflex.
510
01:02:49,109 --> 01:02:50,889
It's a mistake, Carlo.
511
01:02:52,658 --> 01:02:54,421
I will never marry again.
512
01:02:55,727 --> 01:02:58,574
I owe Benedict's father
that last fidelity.
513
01:03:04,139 --> 01:03:07,229
You need no further excuse than
the horror I inspire in you.
514
01:03:07,860 --> 01:03:08,551
Oh, no!
515
01:03:11,614 --> 01:03:14,751
But I am too aware to
share your blindness.
516
01:03:16,028 --> 01:03:18,683
Probably because I often
play God on stage...
517
01:03:20,784 --> 01:03:23,391
I dared to think
I could be a man.
518
01:03:29,500 --> 01:03:31,515
Forgive me, both of you.
519
01:03:32,965 --> 01:03:34,186
It's impossible.
520
01:03:35,558 --> 01:03:36,851
I cannot.
521
01:03:38,727 --> 01:03:40,022
Come, Benedict.
522
01:03:42,801 --> 01:03:44,503
You're tearing
me apart, Carlo.
523
01:03:45,942 --> 01:03:48,537
To protect my love, I
must crush my feelings.
524
01:04:33,428 --> 01:04:35,306
To hell with those rats!
525
01:04:42,283 --> 01:04:43,733
I'm so tired.
526
01:04:45,178 --> 01:04:46,698
I am so tired!
527
01:04:50,250 --> 01:04:52,017
Too much pride.
528
01:04:53,723 --> 01:04:55,549
Don't despise your
music, Maestro.
529
01:04:59,395 --> 01:05:00,845
Who let you in?
530
01:05:00,981 --> 01:05:01,853
Don't resist.
531
01:05:02,470 --> 01:05:05,148
Follow the thread of my voice,
like a musical progression.
532
01:05:05,148 --> 01:05:05,837
I only want to talk.
533
01:05:06,919 --> 01:05:08,937
- Where did you get that?
- It doesn't matter.
534
01:05:09,850 --> 01:05:11,524
I came to offer
you this music.
535
01:05:12,247 --> 01:05:14,166
How dare you?
536
01:05:14,491 --> 01:05:16,306
I'll sing it for you.
537
01:05:16,492 --> 01:05:17,612
Sing it for me?
538
01:05:18,317 --> 01:05:20,154
It's time we made peace.
539
01:05:21,513 --> 01:05:23,973
We both had the
mystery revealed to us.
540
01:05:24,778 --> 01:05:28,336
Music belongs to me just
as it belongs to you.
541
01:05:28,414 --> 01:05:30,041
What music?
542
01:05:31,149 --> 01:05:35,602
Good enough to squeeze cheap tears
from females who swoon over your voice?
543
01:05:36,193 --> 01:05:37,759
Is that how you
presume to move me?
544
01:05:38,422 --> 01:05:41,103
With your music, I will.
545
01:05:41,674 --> 01:05:45,093
Because of you, and
to save this theater...
546
01:05:45,093 --> 01:05:48,556
I exhaust myself composing
works unworthy of my talent.
547
01:05:48,556 --> 01:05:51,849
You're causing my music
to deviate from its course.
548
01:05:52,077 --> 01:05:54,704
I'll never forgive you
for that, Farinelli.
549
01:05:55,235 --> 01:05:58,169
A castrato's voice is an
example of nature abused...
550
01:05:58,169 --> 01:06:00,499
rerouted from its goal,
in order to deceive.
551
01:06:00,499 --> 01:06:04,026
You've subverted your voice
to virtuosity without soul...
552
01:06:04,026 --> 01:06:05,841
devoted only to artifice!
553
01:06:05,841 --> 01:06:06,839
Let it stay there!
554
01:06:08,415 --> 01:06:10,433
Give me back my score.
555
01:06:11,808 --> 01:06:13,106
You know, Maestro...
556
01:06:13,494 --> 01:06:15,114
some people say
that my singing...
557
01:06:15,956 --> 01:06:17,360
has power over people.
558
01:06:19,535 --> 01:06:22,384
Don't turn my voice into
an instrument of death.
559
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,213
You don't frighten me.
560
01:06:24,503 --> 01:06:27,225
Everyone knows that Farinelli
promotes his own legend.
561
01:06:27,548 --> 01:06:29,559
Keep on splitting
their ears...
562
01:06:29,623 --> 01:06:33,511
with stupid operas full
of idiotic characters!
563
01:07:24,583 --> 01:07:25,898
Is that him?
564
01:07:30,048 --> 01:07:31,161
Yes, it is.
565
01:07:41,851 --> 01:07:42,677
You see, Carlo?
566
01:07:43,337 --> 01:07:45,706
I'm happy. My body
doesn't refuse to grow.
567
01:07:47,098 --> 01:07:48,198
Are you in pain, child?
568
01:07:49,390 --> 01:07:50,704
It's not really pain.
569
01:07:51,375 --> 01:07:53,162
Just a feeling of
utter fragility.
570
01:07:54,588 --> 01:07:56,874
Like a snail
without its shell.
571
01:08:10,286 --> 01:08:12,538
Alexandra has the
world's softest hands.
572
01:08:13,438 --> 01:08:15,739
But I won't share
them with anyone else.
573
01:08:27,244 --> 01:08:29,594
Delightful!
Quick, cover it up.
574
01:08:31,817 --> 01:08:33,031
We're helpless,
Alexandra.
575
01:08:36,008 --> 01:08:37,435
But one thing is certain.
576
01:08:40,172 --> 01:08:42,228
You love me, don't you?
577
01:10:01,481 --> 01:10:03,807
Where is my score?
578
01:10:03,807 --> 01:10:05,795
Where does your brother hide
the opera he stole from me?
579
01:10:06,993 --> 01:10:07,957
Tell me...
580
01:10:08,380 --> 01:10:11,449
and I'll leave you in peace,
like a rat in your attic.
581
01:10:12,321 --> 01:10:13,829
Thieves!
582
01:10:17,764 --> 01:10:19,784
You've stolen my
brother from me, Maestro.
583
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:23,781
Your music...
584
01:10:24,317 --> 01:10:27,626
separated us more than
any ocean could have.
585
01:10:31,966 --> 01:10:34,079
Who composed this?
586
01:10:35,858 --> 01:10:38,253
Play it. Go ahead!
587
01:10:43,408 --> 01:10:45,290
Neither excessive...
588
01:10:45,822 --> 01:10:47,341
nor unnecessary
flourishes.
589
01:10:47,915 --> 01:10:49,698
It doesn't seem like you.
590
01:10:51,292 --> 01:10:52,874
This is an entreaty.
591
01:10:53,937 --> 01:10:55,374
The harmony
should be changed.
592
01:10:55,872 --> 01:10:57,624
Take this supplication
into the dominant.
593
01:10:58,857 --> 01:11:00,282
Move over!
594
01:11:08,529 --> 01:11:09,902
After the major third...
595
01:11:10,806 --> 01:11:12,666
repeat the theme
up a fourth.
596
01:11:15,882 --> 01:11:18,321
Your brother
is a monster.
597
01:11:19,664 --> 01:11:21,328
Play! Go ahead!
598
01:11:22,536 --> 01:11:24,721
This is weak.
599
01:11:25,157 --> 01:11:26,935
Not enough
violence! Wait.
600
01:11:28,789 --> 01:11:29,946
Expand the chord...
601
01:11:30,497 --> 01:11:32,878
and dare a chromatic
move to D-flat.
602
01:11:47,052 --> 01:11:48,716
Not bad. Not bad at all!
603
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:52,194
Who does he
think he is? God?
604
01:11:54,179 --> 01:11:55,134
He's destroying you...
605
01:11:55,815 --> 01:11:57,494
and wants to
destroy me, too.
606
01:11:58,641 --> 01:11:59,466
Bring me the rest.
607
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,481
Some ink, pens, wine.
608
01:12:03,801 --> 01:12:05,221
What are you waiting for?
609
01:12:24,459 --> 01:12:26,475
When did you
plan to finish it?
610
01:12:28,666 --> 01:12:30,221
When did you start this?
611
01:12:31,285 --> 01:12:32,508
When?
612
01:12:34,687 --> 01:12:36,191
The day
when...
613
01:12:37,008 --> 01:12:39,902
The day my brother
was castrated.
614
01:12:41,375 --> 01:12:44,834
That day, I
promised him...
615
01:12:45,632 --> 01:12:48,125
it would be...
616
01:12:49,798 --> 01:12:51,419
our joint masterpiece.
617
01:12:51,865 --> 01:12:54,560
You'll never finish
this opera. Never!
618
01:12:55,988 --> 01:12:58,176
You no longer have any
reason to finish it.
619
01:12:59,292 --> 01:13:01,257
He doesn't need
you anymore.
620
01:13:01,824 --> 01:13:03,858
It is you who needs him.
621
01:13:05,151 --> 01:13:07,707
You've been deprived of your
instrument, Signor Broschi.
622
01:13:08,808 --> 01:13:12,200
You're like Narcissus
without his reflection.
623
01:13:13,253 --> 01:13:15,462
Like Orpheus
without his lute.
624
01:13:16,657 --> 01:13:18,013
You're right, Maestro.
625
01:13:18,612 --> 01:13:22,030
Without him, your
music no longer exists.
626
01:13:22,796 --> 01:13:24,185
Without him...
627
01:13:24,897 --> 01:13:26,350
you are nothing
but silence.
628
01:13:33,788 --> 01:13:35,307
At 17...
629
01:13:35,808 --> 01:13:37,402
I composed my
first melody.
630
01:13:39,585 --> 01:13:41,075
I wrote it for Carlo.
631
01:13:43,300 --> 01:13:46,523
You may be the only
one who can understand.
632
01:13:48,872 --> 01:13:50,285
His
voice...
633
01:13:52,295 --> 01:13:54,704
His voice was sublime.
634
01:13:56,481 --> 01:13:59,543
And my music flowed
from my brother's throat.
635
01:14:01,003 --> 01:14:03,413
When did he fall
off that horse?
636
01:14:11,793 --> 01:14:13,885
He never fell off.
637
01:14:18,262 --> 01:14:19,588
When Father died...
638
01:14:20,305 --> 01:14:22,805
Carlo became
seriously ill.
639
01:14:23,496 --> 01:14:25,085
My father had
entrusted him to me.
640
01:14:26,407 --> 01:14:27,925
He was delirious.
641
01:14:28,642 --> 01:14:30,002
I was afraid
of losing him.
642
01:14:35,107 --> 01:14:37,977
I soothed him
with some opium...
643
01:14:39,079 --> 01:14:41,326
and by telling him the
story of an opera...
644
01:14:41,798 --> 01:14:44,429
that I invented day after
day to help him dream.
645
01:14:46,919 --> 01:14:48,417
He loved to
sing, Maestro.
646
01:14:49,839 --> 01:14:51,303
He loved to sing.
647
01:14:55,663 --> 01:14:57,080
His
face...
648
01:15:00,974 --> 01:15:03,834
His face was
transfigured when he sang.
649
01:15:07,474 --> 01:15:09,220
That angelic voice
had to be preserved.
650
01:15:11,578 --> 01:15:13,216
It had to be
done quickly.
651
01:15:14,095 --> 01:15:15,675
Opium eventually
wears off.
652
01:15:19,524 --> 01:15:21,311
His voice had to be
kept from being ruined...
653
01:15:22,418 --> 01:15:24,377
by the repulsive
alchemy...
654
01:15:24,885 --> 01:15:26,967
that time inflicts
on the body.
655
01:15:35,624 --> 01:15:37,071
My music unified
us, Maestro...
656
01:15:38,810 --> 01:15:40,603
closer than lovers.
657
01:16:21,583 --> 01:16:24,285
Do you realize the
scandal we will create?
658
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,720
A Handel opera performed
at the Nobles theater!
659
01:16:28,703 --> 01:16:31,786
It's unheard
of!. Incredible!
660
01:16:47,055 --> 01:16:49,659
How could I have
let all this happen?
661
01:22:22,579 --> 01:22:24,189
Finally, Farinelli...
662
01:22:25,254 --> 01:22:28,322
what rendered us enemies
for so many years...
663
01:22:28,322 --> 01:22:31,029
will be resolved tonight.
664
01:22:31,029 --> 01:22:35,273
It's time to settle
our account before God.
665
01:22:35,273 --> 01:22:37,696
Do you remember
the opera...
666
01:22:37,696 --> 01:22:40,831
that your brother promised
you when you were boys?
667
01:22:40,831 --> 01:22:44,796
Do you remember, Farinelli,
with what emotion he spoke of it?
668
01:22:44,796 --> 01:22:47,019
Did you ever
ask yourself...
669
01:22:47,019 --> 01:22:49,775
whether it was to soothe the
pain of your castration...
670
01:22:49,775 --> 01:22:54,857
or to still his
howling conscience?
671
01:22:54,857 --> 01:22:56,974
It's time you
faced the truth...
672
01:22:57,836 --> 01:22:59,274
that has haunted
you since childhood.
673
01:23:00,630 --> 01:23:04,366
Why do you refuse to hear
what you've known all along?
674
01:23:04,366 --> 01:23:06,082
It's to this brother
who had you castrated...
675
01:23:06,645 --> 01:23:09,795
that you dedicated
all your talent.
676
01:23:09,795 --> 01:23:12,001
And to perpetuate
this brotherly pact...
677
01:23:14,102 --> 01:23:17,251
you spat in the
face of Handel.
678
01:23:17,251 --> 01:23:21,809
You managed to turn me into
what you've always been.
679
01:23:21,809 --> 01:23:24,176
You castrated...
680
01:23:24,176 --> 01:23:26,294
my imagination.
681
01:23:28,127 --> 01:23:30,872
Starting now, I'll never compose
another opera again. Never again!
682
01:23:33,999 --> 01:23:35,549
You are the
first to know...
683
01:23:36,690 --> 01:23:38,302
and the only
one to blame.
684
01:23:39,314 --> 01:23:43,517
Ask God for the
strength to continue...
685
01:23:44,434 --> 01:23:48,915
and to sing, without wavering,
the music you stole from me...
686
01:23:52,094 --> 01:23:53,706
Farinelli.
687
01:28:15,109 --> 01:28:16,925
Come on!
688
01:28:17,636 --> 01:28:19,869
Carlo! Come outside!
689
01:28:20,674 --> 01:28:22,211
Let's see you, Carlo!
690
01:28:23,067 --> 01:28:24,701
You've no right
to reject me!
691
01:28:25,236 --> 01:28:27,678
I've looked for you for
three years! Come out!
692
01:28:29,215 --> 01:28:31,391
I've looked for
you everywhere!
693
01:28:31,862 --> 01:28:32,732
Carlo!
694
01:28:33,206 --> 01:28:34,132
Carlo!
695
01:28:35,594 --> 01:28:36,871
Answer me!
696
01:28:38,136 --> 01:28:40,735
You're a Broschi,
Carlo, just like me!
697
01:28:41,996 --> 01:28:44,157
You can't have forgotten.
That's impossible!
698
01:28:44,937 --> 01:28:46,069
Carlo, come on!
699
01:28:47,516 --> 01:28:48,374
Our opera!
700
01:28:49,220 --> 01:28:51,565
I've finished it!
Carlo, I've finished it!
701
01:28:52,530 --> 01:28:54,433
I composed it for
you! Orpheus?!
702
01:28:55,046 --> 01:28:55,882
Orpheus?!
703
01:28:56,902 --> 01:28:59,480
Here it is!
Come on, Carlo!
704
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:01,354
Carlo, come out!
705
01:29:02,309 --> 01:29:02,879
Do something.
706
01:29:03,965 --> 01:29:05,392
I know you're
there, Alexandra!
707
01:29:06,292 --> 01:29:07,733
Don't take him
away from me!
708
01:29:09,278 --> 01:29:10,638
Don't take him
away from me!
709
01:29:11,884 --> 01:29:13,478
Do you want to kill me?
710
01:29:13,966 --> 01:29:14,852
Is that what you want?
711
01:29:16,914 --> 01:29:19,392
Without me,
you'd be nothing.
712
01:29:20,580 --> 01:29:22,319
I created you.
713
01:29:23,153 --> 01:29:24,127
Farinelli!
714
01:29:24,768 --> 01:29:26,218
I created you!
715
01:29:28,116 --> 01:29:29,401
Castrato!
716
01:29:31,819 --> 01:29:33,196
Castrato!
717
01:29:34,302 --> 01:29:35,572
Castrato!
718
01:31:20,930 --> 01:31:23,109
Carlo, please!
He'll go crazy!
719
01:31:31,142 --> 01:31:32,251
Tell him you love him.
720
01:31:33,089 --> 01:31:33,758
Go ahead. Go.
721
01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:36,386
I can't.
722
01:31:37,769 --> 01:31:39,930
Your brother needs
you, and so do I.
723
01:31:40,757 --> 01:31:42,451
I need you, too.
Do you hear me?
724
01:31:43,976 --> 01:31:45,589
I sacrificed everything
for this love.
725
01:31:46,242 --> 01:31:47,656
I know it's senseless...
726
01:31:48,340 --> 01:31:49,419
but I love you.
727
01:31:49,868 --> 01:31:51,122
I don't want to lose you.
728
01:31:52,074 --> 01:31:53,672
I don't want to lose you.
729
01:32:46,158 --> 01:32:47,811
Three years, Carlo!
730
01:32:49,514 --> 01:32:51,180
Three years!
731
01:33:26,996 --> 01:33:28,278
I knew it was you.
732
01:33:30,236 --> 01:33:31,720
It's very beautiful.
733
01:33:34,030 --> 01:33:35,174
Really?
734
01:33:37,435 --> 01:33:38,909
You really think so?
735
01:33:40,761 --> 01:33:42,576
It's your most
beautiful composition!
736
01:33:45,977 --> 01:33:48,112
It's what I
always waited for.
737
01:33:49,126 --> 01:33:50,333
We could work
on it together.
738
01:33:51,292 --> 01:33:53,107
Perform Orpheus?
here in Madrid.
739
01:33:54,856 --> 01:33:56,670
Everyone will love
it if you sing it.
740
01:33:57,582 --> 01:33:59,448
Your brother no longer
sings, Riccardo...
741
01:34:00,185 --> 01:34:01,181
except for the King.
742
01:34:10,065 --> 01:34:11,471
And maybe for you?
743
01:34:12,506 --> 01:34:13,486
It's strange.
744
01:34:15,088 --> 01:34:17,089
There's something in your
face when you suffer...
745
01:34:18,068 --> 01:34:20,481
that's poignantly
reminiscent of your brother.
746
01:34:21,834 --> 01:34:24,001
That must be why I
can't really hate you.
747
01:34:33,423 --> 01:34:36,522
Do you know how much I've
suffered, writing our opera?
748
01:34:37,397 --> 01:34:40,275
You're telling me about
suffering, Riccardo? You?
749
01:34:42,498 --> 01:34:44,631
Can't you see, I'm asking
for your forgiveness?
750
01:34:45,068 --> 01:34:46,818
Haven't I atoned
for enough?
751
01:34:47,229 --> 01:34:50,018
I don't think
so. Never enough!
752
01:35:47,875 --> 01:35:50,144
Is the earth
simply a tomb?
753
01:35:52,446 --> 01:35:54,092
Bring back the
sun, Farinelli.
754
01:39:08,393 --> 01:39:09,385
Riccardo!
755
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:12,501
Riccardo!
756
01:42:22,361 --> 01:42:23,628
My beloved brother.
757
01:42:24,515 --> 01:42:28,692
It is without much hope that
I'll search in distant lands...
758
01:42:29,270 --> 01:42:30,673
amidst the
clashes of war...
759
01:42:31,190 --> 01:42:32,664
for emotions
as intense...
760
01:42:33,221 --> 01:42:34,723
as those I
derived from music.
761
01:42:59,762 --> 01:43:01,777
At this moment, Carlo...
762
01:43:02,769 --> 01:43:05,457
with my heart heavy
from leaving you...
763
01:43:06,788 --> 01:43:08,839
I'm giving you back what
I had taken from you.
764
01:43:09,798 --> 01:43:11,662
Your share of humanity.
765
01:43:16,075 --> 01:43:17,894
I've burned our opera.
766
01:43:20,553 --> 01:43:22,932
That music
and the past...
767
01:43:23,112 --> 01:43:25,765
are irrelevant today.
768
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:30,627
But what I am leaving
with you, Carlo...
769
01:43:31,488 --> 01:43:33,442
is that not also...
770
01:43:34,275 --> 01:43:36,289
our joint creation?
