FunTranscript
00:00a sexual nature and scenes which some viewers may find distressing.
00:30You're writing it for your wife?
00:32Yes.
00:33You could just talk to her.
00:34This is how I talk.
00:36November is a long time to be alone.
00:38Yes, it is.
00:39He's refusing to reveal what his opera is even about.
00:42You're the capital-meister now, Salieri.
00:44If the audience are moved to leave the theatre and march on the palace demanding my head,
00:48then you have my permission to shut it down.
00:50Our emperor rides to war, and you incite a mob.
00:53You couldn't hear it, could you?
00:55He had secured a great vessel.
01:00The End
01:09The End
01:15The End
01:20Well, who could that be, knocking at my door at this hour?
01:40I had your footman call for a doctor on my way here.
01:43A kindly physician come to administer a tonic,
01:46or rough men with rough hands come to drag me away.
01:52Perhaps your treatment will depend on what I say to them.
01:58I'd like you to finish your story, Kapelmeister.
02:01We still have time.
02:03Joe would always puzzle me
02:05that in the moments of my greatest wickedness,
02:09I was never punished.
02:11The more abhorrent my behavior,
02:13the more I waited for God's retribution,
02:15and it never came.
02:18In fact, the opposite was true.
02:19I was rewarded for it.
02:22I watched Bono die.
02:24I was given his position.
02:27I committed infidelities.
02:29And nothing,
02:31nothing ever happened.
02:36But there are always consequences.
02:39there is always a reckoning.
02:44There is always a reckoning.
03:09there is always a figure of God's error,
03:11if I didn't cheat.
03:12It wasn't necessarily an apology.
03:20I was finished.
03:31I found a one with Avina.
03:32And I must have tested out the right leg.
03:33I would rather have a blade of the map,
03:33and I chance the other way I made it.
03:34There has always Quandary keeps me wrong.
03:35I wanted to fingernail my premise.
03:36And remember when it first was destroyed.
03:36I didn't like this.
03:37And it was a shame.
03:37There can be an obstacle for Rainbow,
03:37Figaro was shut down.
03:51I had truly blocked Mozart for the first time.
03:55And I awaited God's response to my challenge.
03:59But he did not seem to defend his creature.
04:03Amadeus lost more pupils.
04:05Money became so tight he had to downsize his apartment.
04:10Even my introduction of Herr Sussmaier had yielded more than I expected.
04:15Well, I love his music.
04:17I do.
04:17Ever since I heard it through the flowers of my mother's house, I've loved it.
04:21But...
04:22What?
04:26It's not enough.
04:35Wolfgang?
04:43My leg has been troubling me and the doctor thinks some time away would be good for me.
04:48He thinks I should take the waters in Barton.
04:51Does he?
04:53Just for a month or two, maybe.
04:57Carl can go and stay with my mother and sisters for a while.
04:59I'll send for him later on.
05:07Well, you can have one of these if you like.
05:09Mmm.
05:13I'll send word to you when I get there.
05:18Okay, Carl.
05:19Before you go, should I show you a little magic trick?
05:21Are you listening?
05:36One more time.
05:50You see?
05:51Now that's in your head, when you go down for bed tonight, you might hear it.
05:56And then you'll think of me, won't you?
06:00Yeah.
06:02There we go.
06:06There you go.
06:08You might hear it too.
06:10My God.
06:11I'll be with me.
06:12Well, I'm going to go.
06:18Let's go.
06:19Let's go.
06:20I think that's what we'll be doing.
06:24Oh, my God.
06:32You got me.
06:33Let's go.
06:34Let's go.
06:35Let's go.
06:35Kappelmeister, not interrupting, am I?
06:50Yes, but no more than the soldiers.
06:54What do you mean, your aunt?
06:55I heard some news this morning from my lodge.
06:59The masons, I'm a brother there, you know.
07:01Yes, I had heard that.
07:02We'd be very keen in having you join us, by the way.
07:05Bless you, but I serve only one master.
07:08Yes, of course.
07:10Well, this morning, I heard that one of our brotherhood had passed away suddenly.
07:15Oh, dear. Who?
07:19Who?
07:23Antonio.
07:23They told me this was, well, they told me this is where you're living now.
07:28Yes, what do you think?
07:30I'm joking, it's a shithole. I know it is.
07:33Don't worry, we'll be back somewhere nicer soon.
07:35Is, er, Stanza here? No?
07:38She's in Barden.
07:39Do you know Barden?
07:40It's a lovely spa town.
07:42She gets this thing with her legs.
07:43The waters help, apparently, I don't know.
07:47Well, it's sad.
07:51Your father has died.
07:52I received the news this morning from the brotherhood.
08:05Right.
08:06I see you.
08:10Um...
08:10Uh, when?
08:22When did he?
08:23Two days ago.
08:24I wanted to be the one to tell you.
08:28I thought it might help to have the news delivered by a friendly face.
08:35Is that where you are?
08:38Not so.
08:38Many composers view the Kappelmeister as an adversary, but I'm not.
08:45I'm really not.
08:48Of course.
08:49Well, thank you for letting me know.
08:58I prefer to be on my own now, though.
09:02If you need anything, anything, my condolences Wolfgang.
09:32ORGAN PLAYS
09:59Here rests a bird called Starling.
10:02a foolish little darling he was still in his prime when he ran out of time and my sweet
10:09little friend came to a bitter end gentle crowd shed a tear for he was dear i bet
10:20he is now up on high praising my friendship to the sky for when he took his sudden leave
10:29which brought to me such grief
10:40to a good companion
10:49that's the first time i've been to a bird's funeral that's for sure well he was quite a creature
10:59so
14:44A mille lettres, mille lettres, mille lettres.
14:54What do you think of it so far?
14:56I hope you'd rather get the point, don't we?
14:58The man's an unrepentant fornicator.
15:00A thousand women in Spain?
15:02A thousand and three.
15:03A thousand and three, well there you go.
15:05Have you once spoken to the emperor yet?
15:08Not yet.
15:09I was advised that he wasn't in the mood for conversing.
15:14How long has he been back from the front, so to speak?
15:17Two weeks.
15:18He didn't want to leave, but his health has been poor.
15:22Does anyone know if we're winning?
15:24Winning what?
15:26The war.
15:30Of course we're winning.
15:32Yes, of course.
15:33Emphatic.
15:34Well, that's a relief.
15:36What did you think?
15:38I thought he looked pale.
15:40Mozart, did you see him swaying at the podium?
15:42He doesn't look well.
15:43A problem in drinking.
15:45Yeah, that's how he spends most of his time these days.
15:47I'm enjoying it.
15:48I found it rather, um...
15:51tuneful.
15:53Tuneful?
15:53Yes, tuneful.
15:56Antonio, wouldn't you agree?
15:57No, I wouldn't.
15:57I'd say the whole thing's rather thin so far.
16:01Let's hope the second half gives us something more to chew on.
16:04Don Giovanni,
16:27I watched that performance on opening night.
16:37I watched that performance on opening night.
16:51I heard those words,
16:53I listened to that music,
16:54and I knew
16:54he'd opened himself up,
16:57revealed the darkest parts of his being.
16:59I saw it then,
17:14his damaged mind,
17:16the naked ugliness,
17:17his grief and guilt.
17:19There, in that demonic figure on the stage
17:23with his own father,
17:27and in that poor,
17:28wretched philander of Mozart himself,
17:31punished for his sins,
17:33his puckish abunions,
17:35his insolent virility.
17:36THE END
18:06I saw his open wound.
18:35And through it, he's barely beating hard.
18:40And I knew exactly where in time I would place the final blade.
18:45Bravo, maestro.
18:50It's... well, it's a triumph.
18:54You don't seem well, sir, if you don't mind my say.
18:58Oh, I'm fine.
19:01I... I didn't see your wife in the audience.
19:08No.
19:10She's still away.
19:11Oh, she's been gone a long time.
19:14Well, I hope you're looking after yourself.
19:18The, uh, Brotherhood has been looking after me.
19:23The Freemasons?
19:24Yes.
19:25They've been keeping me afloat since Father died.
19:29A few commissions.
19:30It's all charity, really.
19:31But, uh, I'll pay them back when I can, obviously.
19:35Well, I'm just glad to see you still have some old friends looking out for you.
19:40That's... that's wonderful.
19:43You really liked it?
19:49It was as though I were looking into your soul.
19:53And I was nothing but a spectator.
20:09But my power was undiminished.
20:12My influence remained, and I used it to ensure that Don Giovanni played only five times.
20:22Of course, I saw every one of those five performances.
20:28And I wasn't the only one.
20:33And I didn't know.
20:42I wondered when you were here to come and say hello.
20:44I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
20:45I...
20:46I didn't know if you want to be disturbed.
20:49It's all right.
20:53How is... how is the war?
20:57How is the war?
21:01I have all the music manuscripts sent to me at the front, all the new work.
21:10I, uh, I sit and try and read and, and hear the music, as I know you can.
21:19But, uh, my ears, I'd love to be able to have your ear, be able to sit and hear the music
21:30so you can truly understand it.
21:35My great Magrette.
21:41What about this boy?
21:47My God, Anttiadio listened to us.
21:51Do you ever marvel how lucky we are, out of all of human history, to have shared our time
22:00with music such as this?
22:04I do.
22:15You promised me one thing.
22:17That you'll continue to commission new work.
22:21For the people left behind, and the men who return.
22:30Let there be music for them, at least.
22:33Of course you'll notice.
22:38There's so much I wanted to do, Antonia.
22:44That was the last time I ever saw the emperor.
23:00He returned to the front and died six months later in his bed.
23:10And with him went your husband's most powerful ally.
23:14Well, it's not we have to shut down.
23:18We love it.
23:19We believe in it.
23:20I advocated for it, but with budgets as tight as they are, I'm afraid it's just more cost-effective
23:26to scrap it.
23:30Well, the next one will be even better.
23:34The next one?
23:36Yes.
23:38Wolfgang, Figaro, Don Giovanni, your work is strong.
23:44We both know that.
23:45The Imperial Opera, it's not for everyone.
23:48These big old holes, they can be unforgiving.
23:53It's not just you.
23:55Everything's been cut.
23:56I'm sorry.
23:57Why can't they hear it?
24:01These are dark times, Mozart.
24:08Perhaps the people desire light.
24:14Light.
24:19Light.
24:20Fuck off, please.
24:23Fuck off, please.
24:25Fuck off!
24:31Cheers!
24:40Paestro, we would like to formally invite you to the wake of Don Giovanni.
24:48Thank you for inviting us in.
24:51Down, gentlemen, please.
24:54Oh!
25:05To another dead darling.
25:06Hooray!
25:09To another dead darling.
25:10Hooray!
25:11Hooray!
25:13Excuse me, I'm not so, um, so I'm sorry, I'm sorry to be bothering you.
25:32Why are you doing it, Daniel?
25:34Uh, um, I'm a huge, huge, uh, admirer of yours.
25:39He doesn't write the words, you know.
25:41Sorry, who are you?
25:42Um, yeah, sorry, I'm Gregor, sir, I'm, I'm, um, Gregor Braun, I work backstage, so we've never spoken.
25:51Please.
25:53So which of my works have you seen?
25:55Uh, all of them.
25:57I mean, as many as I've been able to.
26:00And I bought all of the pieces that I couldn't, that I could find.
26:02So I've bought, um, the, the six piano sonatas, published in Paris, uh, and the 12 various chansons of la belle-francoise, um,
26:11and then the Turkish march, the piece from the A major sonata, uh...
26:15Wow, you really are an expert on him.
26:18What, what did he have for dinner last night?
26:21Ooh.
26:21How low do his balls hang?
26:25Uh, I don't, I don't know everything about you, maestro.
26:30I'm, I just really, um, I really dream of emulating you.
26:35I was ten years old when I first heard your work, and it just felt as though...
26:44Yes?
26:49Well, it felt as though the heavens were talking to me.
26:56As though God was speaking through me.
26:58Yes.
27:05Well, let's see if you can speak back, shall we?
27:08You're rude and oxy.
27:09What did you say your name was again?
27:11Um, Gregor.
27:12Ah, Gregor, that's funny.
27:13My father had a dog named Gregor.
27:15Can you do tricks too?
27:16Uh, come on, make yourself comfortable.
27:18Show us what you can do.
27:19Gather round, everyone.
27:21This is Gregor.
27:22He's going to play us some tunes.
27:23Please, don't be shy, come forward, come forward.
27:28In your own time.
27:29Shh, shh, shh.
27:53Gosh, well, there it is.
28:21What did everybody think?
28:22I'll tell you what I made of that.
28:24I recognise the notes, but very little else.
28:26As if the soul had been ripped out of it.
28:28Go on, please.
28:29Let's try another one.
28:29Surprise me.
28:31Uh, okay.
28:33I, uh, actually, this one's quite fun.
28:35I just, um, had an arrangement of one of your, uh, serenades for forte piano.
28:40Please.
28:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
28:48If you're going to play that one, it's not like that, is it?
28:52It's like this.
28:54Can you hear the difference?
28:55Okay, start again.
28:56Wolfgang, why don't I...
28:57Start again.
28:57Gregor, you tell me that you want to be a musician, and then you embarrass us both with this
29:09half-baked shit.
29:10I didn't say stop, keep playing, but fuck's sake, Gregor, do it properly.
29:15I thought you liked my music.
29:16Why are you butchering it?
29:18Not like that.
29:19You're getting distracted.
29:20You have to focus on the music.
29:23Do you want my advice, Gregor?
29:25Find another dream.
29:26Find something you can actually do, and find some other composer to fawn over.
29:30Maybe you can waste his time instead.
29:32Did it make you feel good, humiliating that poor boy in front of everyone?
29:49When did you get back?
29:51This afternoon.
29:52So did you see it?
29:54What?
29:55Don Giovanni, my opera, did you see it?
29:57Yes.
29:59And?
30:00What did you think?
30:021003 in Spain.
30:06Well, Lorenzo writes the words, so...
30:09Well, I know how you inspire him.
30:13Your leg seems much better.
30:16How was Barden?
30:18Good.
30:20How was Franz?
30:22Oh, so I'm the subject of gossip, am I?
30:24Well, you make yourself the subject of gossip.
30:26Do I?
30:26Yes.
30:27How?
30:27By carrying on.
30:29Like a...
30:30Like a what?
30:31Like a whore.
30:32Like a cheap...
30:33A fucking whore.
30:35Well, a cheap fucking whore is the only kind of whore you'd be able to afford, Wolfgang.
30:39Mother said you haven't been to see Carl at once.
30:45She said she saw you one morning and you were too drunk to even recognise your own son.
30:49Well, I would see more of my son if his mother wasn't constantly running off to moisten the balls of every inadequate fucking student musician to look her way.
30:55Well, yes, Franz did.
30:56Well, yes, Franz did.
30:57He did look my way.
30:58He looked at me.
30:59Yeah, he saw me.
31:00He spoke to me.
31:01He...
31:02He bothered to ask my opinion on things in the world beyond what you think of my fucking opera.
31:09What did you think of my fucking opera?
31:11I thought it was too fucking long.
31:26It made me sad.
31:27I was intruding on something I wasn't supposed to see.
31:38It made me realise everything I know about you.
31:41I've had to learn through your characters.
31:42And I wondered if you could ever open up to me or just be stuck hoping that Tiggory or Don Giovanni would tell me the things that you weren't.
32:02You are supposed to see it.
32:08You're supposed to see it.
32:12You're going to stay with me.
32:24You're going to think I did.
32:42You're supposed to see it.
33:06we'll go again we'll write something else you'll write something else
33:18you shouldn't do this keep working with me i'm cursed oh please don't be a fucking martyr
33:25go write for salieri or fucking regini or anyone else we're having a small run of bad luck i'll
33:31give you that look i don't want to write for any of them i want to write for you
33:36it's different with you and you know that and that's as much of a compliment as you'll get out
33:43of me so don't look for any more i hate this what the end of a party i mean obviously wolfgang i'd be
34:00delighted to have you put something on here i just assumed you'd be staging your next one at the birds
34:04here again oh no it's too stuffy i feel like i need something more alive oh wait that's us
34:13wait we're alive all right no we're packed every weekend wolfgang i can guarantee you a full house
34:19of excited music lovers desperate desperate to be entertained right they won't just sit there like
34:25the aristocrats now they sing along they dance like they laugh and on the takings i can give you off
34:34oh well if that's the best you can do i suppose we better shake on that
34:39oh i'm so pleased he's very excited sure it's going to be a hit and actually between you and i the
34:46brotherhood owns the lease on the place so gets the cut of the takings as well
34:50everyone's doing very nicely most up might be able to pay off his debts get back into the city
34:59you're very quiet this morning dear
35:03oh just in my thoughts what are you thinking about
35:09the masons
35:14oh gang
35:16cabermeister i wanted to find you and congratulate you on your new commission oh thank you you were
35:21right by the way much better to get away from the birth theater well i think it's wonderful news
35:25let's celebrate yes so tell me what have you got so far love sire excuse me remember the first time
35:36i ever went to the emperor's palace he asked me what a good german virtue might be ah yes yes yes you
35:41said love sire yes love i want to write about love and light i think it's a wonderful idea
35:53although it strikes me there are different kinds of love aren't there there's romantic love certainly
35:59but that feels pretty played out at this point but what of maternal love familial love fraternal
36:06love eternal love brotherly love that's a thought yeah brotherhood i mean that's what the masons are
36:12all about my father used to talk about it all the time the sucker that we got from them perhaps
36:18no that's too that's too much what no no no it's a bad idea what well i was just thinking
36:25why not put them into it into it show them in all their generosity let people see the kindness
36:33of the masons well the brotherhood's rituals are a secret of course needn't copy them exactly you
36:39could adapt them change a few details here and there one step away but still recognizable change a few
36:45details but keep the intention i like it in fact i'm going to speak to deponte
37:00antonio what a surprise you've caught me at an inopportune time well it's hard not to
37:15see why um
37:23please sit soft no no i think i'll come straight to the point lorenzo
37:30there were people who were disturbed by your presence when you first arrived in vienna
37:35but i vouched for you i saw something in you and the emperor was moved by your work we all have been
37:39times are changing the emperor is unwell he won't recover this brother stands ready to take over
37:46when the time comes it will be a rude awakening for many of us he has none of joseph's love of
37:53the arts i expect budgets to tighten i expect there to be a less liberal outlook formal notice
38:04that you were to be removed from your position as court poet and dismissed from imperial service
38:09now i'm afraid with the loss of both your patron and your position questions have been raised about
38:14your continued residence here in bianna figaro
38:19politics
38:25how long do i have
38:29oh i wouldn't linger the mood is changing
38:36you're a man out of time
38:40lorenzo
38:59you're a man out of time
39:03so
39:04i think so
39:08Let's go.
39:38Let's go.
40:08Sigh.
40:14Hello, Wolfgang. Hello. Hello.
40:16Your mother took Carl up to Baden to see Stanza.
40:19Oh.
40:20We would have told you, but you haven't been to visit, so...
40:26Would you like a seat, Wolfgang?
40:38How is Carl?
40:44He's well. He can basically talk now.
40:47And Sophie's been giving him piano lessons.
40:50He's very bad, but so am I.
40:53Have you heard from Constanza?
40:56She writes.
41:00Is she happy?
41:04She is.
41:08You're well.
41:10She feels good, supposedly.
41:13As kept up one single verse.
41:14Don't do this.
41:15Like a conditional verse,
41:17Do that along with pleasures?
41:19Don't do this.
41:20A lofty way is baked for you to apply
41:24To raise your hand in your hand
41:29Michael, our Großel duty to algorith the song.

44:42What, sir?
44:47Why are they so angry?
44:48What, sir? I spoke to the brothers.
44:50I thought you were only going to make a nod to the masons.
44:53I did that. I changed all the symbols.
44:54I called it the Order of Eternal Priests.
44:56I thought that would be okay.
44:57To hint at, yes. What were you thinking?
44:59Listen to the order.
45:00They love it. Listen to them. This can't happen again.
45:03I need to talk to Shikhanada, the box office.
45:05The masons own the lease on the theatre.
45:06They also control the box office.
45:08And I don't think now's a good time to ask them for more money.
45:10You told me to do this.
45:11No. No.
45:13This was your idea, Mozart.
45:15This was you, remember?
45:17Mozart, I would make haste for home.
45:19I'll find them. I'll calm them down.
45:21They'll be away, Mozart.
45:22No.
45:23They'll be away.
45:23They'll be away.
45:34They'll be away.
45:36They'll be away.
45:48For the brotherhood.
46:18For the brotherhood.
46:48For the brotherhood.
46:54A commission.
46:56A mass for the dead.
47:07You have seven days.
47:17The pieces had fallen into place.
47:23He was weak.
47:25Broken and alone.
47:31Teetering on the edge of a precipice.
47:37And all that was needed was my hand to finally guide him over.
47:45So, into the darkness we go.
47:49Into the dark we go.
47:51Into the dark we go.
47:55And all that was he.
47:57And all that was on, so.
47:59That's what I saw in the dark we go.
48:01And all that was he.
48:03And all that was.
