00:00The Emperor's commissioned me to write another opera.
00:04Fancy putting some words to the music?
00:05But you're working for me.
00:06He played me some of it.
00:08From this time on, we are enemies.
00:11They don't see him much at church on Sundays anymore.
00:14He's stolen my labresses.
00:16How's the marriage of Mozart?
00:18You're leaving Vienna?
00:19I saw you sing last year.
00:21I still think about it.
00:22You're writing it for your wife?
00:23Yes.
00:24You could just talk to her.
00:26This is how I talk.
00:28November is a long time to be alone.
00:30Yes, it is.
00:31He's refusing to reveal what his opera is even about.
00:34You're the capitalmeister now, Salieri.
00:36If the audience are moved to leave the theatre
00:38and march on the palace demanding my head,
00:40then you have my permission to shut it down.
00:41Our Emperor rides to war.
00:43And you incite a mob.
00:45Couldn't hear it, could you?
00:47He had secured a great vessel.
01:00He's refusing to introduce the other people.
01:18Then you have a great vessel.
01:19Got you.
01:20Go.
01:20Go.
01:21Go.
01:21Well, who could that be, knocking at my door at this hour?
01:32I had your footman call for a doctor on my way here.
01:35A kindly physician come to administer a tonic,
01:39or rough men with rough hands come to drag me away.
01:44Perhaps your treatment will depend on what I say to them.
01:46I'd like you to finish your story, Kappelmeister. We still have time.
01:55John would always puzzle me
01:57that in the moments of my greatest wickedness, I was never punished.
02:03The more abhorrent my behavior, the more I waited for God's retribution, and it never came.
02:10In fact, the opposite was true. I was rewarded for it.
02:14I watched Bono die.
02:15I was given his position.
02:18I committed infidelities.
02:21And nothing, nothing ever happened.
02:28But there are always consequences.
02:32There is always a reckoning.
02:36There is always a reckoning.
02:37There is always a reckoning.
02:38There is always a reckoning.
02:39There is always a reckoning.
02:40There is always a reckoning.
02:41There is always a reckoning.
02:42There is always a reckoning.
02:43There is always a reckoning.
02:44There is always a reckoning.
02:45There is always a reckoning.
02:46There is always a reckoning.
02:47There is always a reckoning.
02:48There is always a reckoning.
02:49There is always a reckoning.
02:50There is always a reckoning.
02:51There is always a reckoning.
02:52There is always a reckoning.
02:53There is always a reckoning.
02:54There is always a reckoning.
02:55There is always a reckoning.
02:56There is always a reckoning.
02:57There is always a reckoning.
02:58There is always a reckoning.
02:59There is always a reckoning.
04:30Wolfgang?
04:34My leg has been troubling me and the doctor thinks some time away would be good for me.
04:40He thinks I should take the water to Simbarten.
04:43Does he?
04:43Just for a month or two, maybe.
04:49Carl can go and stay with my mother and sisters for a while and I'll send for him later on.
04:52And you can have one of these if you like.
05:01Mmm.
05:05I'll send word to you when I get there.
05:07Okay, Carl, before you go, should I show you a little magic trick?
05:13Are you listening?
05:28One more time.
05:29You see?
05:44Now that's in your head, when you go down for bed tonight, you might hear it.
05:48And then you'll think of me, won't you?
05:52Yeah.
05:54There we go.
05:58There we go.
06:00You might hear it too.
06:02My God.
06:03There we go.
06:15And when you go down for bed.
06:20What do you mean, you're...
06:47I heard some news this morning.
06:50From my lodge, the Masons.
06:52I'm a brother there, you know.
06:53Yes, I had heard that.
06:54We'd be very keen in having you join us, by the way.
06:57Bless you.
06:58But I...
06:59I serve only one master.
07:00Yes, of course.
07:01Well, this morning I heard that one of our brotherhood had passed away suddenly.
07:06Oh, dear.
07:07Who?
07:11Who?
07:14Antonio.
07:15They told me this was...
07:17Well, probably this is where you're living now.
07:20Yes.
07:21What do you think?
07:22What?
07:23I'm joking.
07:24It's a shithole.
07:25I know it is.
07:26Don't worry.
07:27We'll be back somewhere nicer soon.
07:28It's...
07:29It stands out here.
07:30No.
07:31She's in Barden.
07:32Do you know Barden?
07:33It's a lovely spa town.
07:34She gets this thing with her legs that...
07:36waters help, apparently.
07:37I don't know.
07:38But...
07:39Well, it's sad.
07:43Your father has died.
07:50I received the news this morning from the brotherhood.
07:58Right.
08:01I see.
08:02Um...
08:14Uh, when?
08:15When did he...?
08:16Two days ago.
08:19I wanted to be the one to tell you.
08:21I...
08:22thought it might help to have the news...
08:24delivered...
08:25my friendly face.
08:28Is that where you are?
08:30I'm not sad.
08:33Many composers view the cap on my stairs as an adversary, but I'm not.
08:37I'm really not.
08:41Of course.
08:46Well...
08:48Thank you for letting me know.
08:51I...
08:52prefer to be on my own.
08:53Now, though, I think...
08:56Of course.
08:57Absolutely.
08:59If you need anything...
09:04Anything...
09:06My condolences, Wolfgang.
09:29We've gathered nowhere,
09:39Can't I?
09:40We've gathered somewhere.
09:51It has ever been a spot.
09:52It has ever been the first child...
09:53That was my father in the wicked way...
09:55little darling. He was still in his prime when he ran out of time, and my sweet little friend
10:02came to a bitter end. Gentle crowd shed a tear, for he was dear. I bet he is now up on high,
10:15praising my friendship to the sky, for when he took his sudden leave, which brought to me
10:23such grief. To a good companion.
10:41That's the first time I've been to a bird's funeral, that's for sure.
10:46Well, he was quite a creature.
10:53Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
15:13Does anyone know if we're winning?
15:16Winning what?
15:18The war.
15:18Of course we're winning.
15:24Yes, of course.
15:25Emphatic.
15:26Well, that's a relief.
15:28What did you think?
15:30I thought he looked pale.
15:32Mozart, did you see him swaying at the podium?
15:34He doesn't look well.
15:35Well, I've been drinking.
15:36Yeah, that's how he spends most of his time these days.
15:39I'm enjoying it.
15:40I found it rather, um...
15:43tuneful.
15:44Tuneful?
15:45Yes, tuneful.
15:47Antonio, wouldn't you agree?
15:49No, I wouldn't.
15:49I'd say the whole thing's rather thin so far.
15:52Let's hope the second half gives us something more to chew on.
16:05Don Giovanni
16:17I watched that performance on opening night.
16:41I heard those words.
16:43I listened to that music, and I knew he'd opened himself up.
16:46Revealed the darkest parts of his being.
17:03I saw it then, his damaged mind, the naked ugliness, his grief and guilt.
17:11There, in that demonic figure on the stage, was his own father.
17:16Then, in that poor, wretched philander of Mozart himself, punished for his sins,
17:23his puckish abominions, his insolent virility.
17:26There, in that poor, wretched philander of Mozart, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness.
17:33There, in that poor, wretched philander of Mozart, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness.
17:40There, in that poor, wretched philander of Mozart, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness.
17:47There, in that poor, wretched philander of Mozart, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness, the naked ugliness.
17:55There, in that poor...
18:00I saw his open wound, and through it, his barely beating heart.
18:30And I knew exactly where, in time, I would place the final blade.
18:38Bravo, maestro. It's... well, it's a triumph.
18:45You don't seem well, sir, if you don't mind my saying.
18:48Oh, I'm fine.
18:53I... I didn't see your wife in the audience.
18:57No. She's, er, still away.
19:00Oh, she's been gone a long time.
19:03Well, I hope you're looking after yourself.
19:06The, er... brotherhood has been looking after me.
19:12The Freemasons?
19:14Yes. They've been keeping me afloat since father died.
19:18A few commissions. It's all charity, really.
19:21But, er, I'll pay them back when I can, obviously.
19:24Well, I'm just glad to see you still have some old friends looking out for you.
19:29That's... that's wonderful.
19:32You really liked it?
19:35It was as though I were looking into your soul.
19:53He had written a masterpiece again.
19:56And I was nothing but a spectator.
19:59But my power was undiminished.
20:02My influence remained.
20:04And I used it to ensure that Don Giovanni played only five times.
20:11Of course, I saw every one of those five performances.
20:14I wasn't the only one.
20:24Your Majesty.
20:26And I do.
20:30I wondered when you were here to come and say hello.
20:33I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
20:34I... I didn't know if you'd want to be disturbed.
20:37It's all right.
20:39How is... how is the war?
20:46How is the war?
20:53I have all the music manuscripts sent to me at the front.
20:57All the new work.
21:00I, er...
21:03I sit and try and read and...
21:05And hear the music.
21:07As I know you can.
21:08But, er...
21:11In my ears.
21:14I'd love to be able to have your ear.
21:16To be able to sit and...
21:19Hear the music and truly understand it.
21:24My great regret.
21:30What about this boy?
21:35My God, Antonia.
21:38Listen to us.
21:41Do you ever marvel...
21:43How lucky we are.
21:45Out of all of human history to have...
21:48Shared our time with music such as this.
21:54I do.
21:55You promised me one thing.
22:08That you'll continue to commission new work.
22:14For the people left behind.
22:16And the men who return.
22:20Let there be music for them at least.
22:23Of course you'll know just...
22:31There's so much I wanted to do, Antonia.
22:32I do, Antonia.
22:45That was the last time I ever saw the emperor.
22:51He returned to the front.
22:53Died six months later in his bed.
22:56And with him went your husband's most powerful ally.
23:03Well, it's not we have to shut down.
23:06We love it. We believe in it.
23:09I advocated for it, but...
23:11With budgets as tight as they are, I'm afraid it's just more cost effective to scrap it.
23:16Well...
23:22The next one will be even better.
23:24The next one?
23:25Yes.
23:28Wolfgang.
23:30Figaro.
23:31Don Giovanni.
23:33Your work is strong.
23:34We both know that.
23:36The Imperial Opera.
23:37It's not for everyone.
23:40These big old halls, they can be unforgiving.
23:43It's not just you.
23:45Everything's been cut.
23:46I'm sorry.
23:50Why can't they hear it?
23:55These are dark times, Mozart.
23:59Perhaps the people desire light.
24:08Light.
24:09Light.
24:13Fuck off, please.
24:15Fuck off!
24:30Highstroke.
24:32We would like to formally invite you to the wake of Don Giovanni.
24:37Thank you for inviting us in.
24:45Down, gentlemen, please.
24:47Oh!
24:55To another dead darling.
24:57Hooray!
24:59To another dead darling.
25:01Hooray!
25:02Hooray!
25:03Hooray!
25:04Hooray!
25:05Hooray!
25:06Hooray!
25:07Hooray!
25:08Hooray!
25:09Hooray!
25:10Hooray!
25:11Hooray!
25:12Hooray!
25:14Hooray!
25:15It's curious.
25:16Excuse me.
25:17No, not top.
25:18Um...
25:19So, I'm sorry.
25:20I'm sorry to be...
25:21bothering you.
25:22Why are you doing it, then?
25:23Uh...
25:24Um...
25:25I'm a huge, huge, uh...
25:27admirer...
25:28of yours.
25:29He doesn't write the words, you know.
25:31Sorry.
25:32Who are you?
25:33Yeah, sorry.
25:34I'm Gregor, sir.
25:35I'm...
25:36I'm, um...
25:37Gregor Braun.
25:38I work backstage.
25:39So, we've never spoken.
25:40Please.
25:42So, which of my works have you seen?
25:45Uh...
25:46All of them.
25:47I mean, as many as I've been able to.
25:49And I bought all of the pieces that I couldn't...
25:51that I could find.
25:52So, I've bought, um...
25:54the...
25:55the six piano sonatas,
25:56Balch and Paris,
25:57uh...
25:58and the twelve variations on the Belfrance was.
26:00Um...
26:01and then the Turkish March,
26:02the piece from the A Major sonata.
26:04Uh...
26:05Wow, you really are an expert on him.
26:07What...
26:08What did he have for dinner last night?
26:10Ooh.
26:11How low do his balls hang?
26:15Uh...
26:16I don't...
26:17I don't know everything about you, Maestro.
26:19I'm...
26:20I just really, um...
26:22I really dream of emulating you.
26:24Hm.
26:25I was ten years old
26:27when I first heard your work.
26:30And it just felt as though...
26:34Yes?
26:35As though God was speaking through me.
26:49Yes.
26:54Well, let's see if you can speak back, shall we?
26:57Be rude not to.
26:58What did you say your name was again?
26:59Um...
27:00Gregor.
27:01Ah!
27:02Gregor, that's funny.
27:03My father had a dog named Gregor.
27:04Can you do tricks too?
27:05Uh...
27:06Come on.
27:07Make yourself comfortable.
27:08Show us what you can do.
27:09Gather round, everyone.
27:10This is Gregor.
27:11He's gonna play us some tunes.
27:13Please.
27:14Don't be shy.
27:15Come forward.
27:16Come forward.
27:18In your own time.
27:19Shh, shh.
27:20Jeff!
27:21George- We like to acces out!
27:22Ms.
27:23Rhonda.
27:24To all you shine...
27:25With you!
27:26Welcome!
27:27My head is Holiday!
27:29The
27:31Woman Ray Atch
27:45About nehmen
27:46I'll tell you what I made of that, I recognise the notes, but very little else as it does
28:16the soul had been ripped out of it. Go on, please, let's try another one, surprise me.
28:21Er, OK, I, er, actually this one's quite fun, I just, um, had an arrangement of one of your
28:28serenades for forte piano.
28:30Please.
28:36No, no, no.
28:38If you're going to play that one, it's not like that, is it? It's like this.
28:43Can you hear the difference? OK, start again.
28:46Why don't we... Start again.
28:54Gregor, you tell me that you want to be a musician, and then you embarrass us both with this half-baked shit.
28:59I didn't say stop, keep playing, but fuck's sake, Gregor, do it properly.
29:04I thought you liked my music, why are you butchering it?
29:07Not like that. You're getting distracted, you have to focus on the music.
29:13Do you want my advice, Gregor? Find another dream, find something you can actually do, and find some other composer to fawn over.
29:20Maybe you can waste his time instead.
29:33Did it make you feel good humiliating that poor boy in front of everyone?
29:37What?
29:39When did you get back?
29:40This afternoon.
29:41So did you see it?
29:43What?
29:45Don Giovanni, my opera, did you see it?
29:47Yes.
29:48And?
29:49What did you think?
29:52A thousand and three in Spain.
29:55Well, Lorenzo writes the words, so...
29:59Well, I know how you inspire him.
30:03Your leg seems much better.
30:06How was Barden?
30:08Good.
30:10How was Franz?
30:12Oh, so I'm the subject of gossip, am I?
30:13Well, you make yourself the subject of gossip.
30:15Do I?
30:16Yes.
30:17How?
30:18By carrying on.
30:19Like a...
30:20Like a what?
30:21Like a whore.
30:22Like a cheap...
30:24a fucking whore.
30:25Well, a cheap fucking whore is the only kind of whore you'd be able to afford Wolfgang.
30:30Mother said you haven't been to see Carl at once.
30:34She said she saw you one morning and you were too drunk to even recognise your own son.
30:38Well, 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.
30:45Well, yes, Franz did.
30:46He did look my way.
30:47He looked at me, yeah.
30:48He saw me.
30:50He spoke to me.
30:51He...
30:54He bothered to ask my opinion on things in the world beyond.
30:56What did you think of my fucking opera?
30:59What did you think of my fucking opera?
31:01I thought it was too fucking long.
31:08It made me sad.
31:21I was intruding on something I wasn't supposed to see.
31:28It made me realise everything I know about you.
31:30You've had to learn through your characters.
31:38And I wondered if you...
31:40If you could ever open up to me, or...
31:43Just be stuck hoping that...
31:45Tiggerau or Don Giovanni will tell me the things that you won't.
31:48You are supposed to see it.
31:51You are supposed to see it.
31:57You're supposed to see it.
32:09You can't stay with me.
32:14It isn't good here.
32:15You are supposed to see it.
32:45We'll go again. We'll write something else. You'll write something else.
33:07You shouldn't do this. Keep working with me. I'm cursed.
33:11Oh, please, don't be a fucking martyr.
33:13Go write for Salieri or fucking Regini or anyone else.
33:17We're having a small run of bad luck. I'll give you that.
33:20Look, I don't want to write for any of them.
33:22I want to write for you.
33:26It's different with you, and you know that.
33:28And that's as much of a compliment as you'll get out of me,
33:31so don't look for any more.
33:37I hate this.
33:40What?
33:43The end of a party.
33:47I mean, obviously, Wolfgang, I'd be delighted to have you put something on here.
33:50I just assumed you'd be staging your next one at the Berg's Theater again.
33:52Oh, no.
33:53It's too stuffy.
33:55I feel like I need something more alive.
33:58Oh.
33:59Wait, that's us.
34:00Wait, we're alive all right.
34:02No, we're packed.
34:03Every weekend.
34:04Wolfgang, I can guarantee you a full house of excited music lovers.
34:09Desperate, desperate to be entertained.
34:12Right, they won't just sit there like the aristocrats.
34:14No, they sing along.
34:16They dance.
34:17Right, they laugh.
34:19And on the takings, I can give you off.
34:22Oh.
34:23Well, if that's the best you can do, I suppose we'd better shake on that.
34:27I'm so pleased.
34:29He's very excited.
34:31I'm sure it's going to be a hit.
34:32And actually, between you and I, the Brotherhood owns the lease on the place,
34:35so it gets a cut of the takings as well.
34:37Everyone's doing very nicely.
34:39Mozart might be able to pay off his debts.
34:42Get back into the city.
34:43I'm very quiet this morning, dear.
34:52Oh.
34:53Just in my thoughts.
34:56What are you thinking about?
35:00The Masons.
35:03Wolfgang!
35:04Cabermeister!
35:05I wanted to find you and congratulate you on your new commission.
35:08Oh, thank you.
35:09You were right, by the way.
35:10Much better to get away from the Burke Theatre.
35:12I think it's wonderful news.
35:13Let's celebrate.
35:14Yes.
35:15So, tell me.
35:17What have you got so far?
35:19Love, sire.
35:20Excuse me?
35:21Do you remember?
35:23The first time I ever went to the Emperor's Palace,
35:25he asked me what a good German virtue might be.
35:28Ah, yes, yes, yes.
35:29You said love, sire.
35:30Yes.
35:33Love.
35:34I want to write about love.
35:36And light.
35:38I think it's a wonderful idea.
35:40Although it strikes me there are different kinds of love, aren't there?
35:45There's romantic love, certainly, but that feels pretty played out at this point.
35:50But what of maternal love, familial love, fraternal love?
35:55Fraternal love, brotherly love.
35:57That's a thought, yeah.
35:58Brotherhood.
35:59I mean, that's what the Masons are all about.
36:01My father used to talk about it all the time.
36:03The sucker that we got from them.
36:04Perhaps...
36:05No, that's too much.
36:07What?
36:08No, no, no.
36:09It's a bad idea.
36:10What?
36:11Well, I was just thinking...
36:13Why not put them into it?
36:16Into it?
36:17Show them in all their generosity.
36:19Let people see the kindness of the Masons.
36:22Well, the Brotherhood's rituals are a secret, of course.
36:25Needn't copy them exactly.
36:27You could adapt them, change a few details here and there, one step away, but still recognizable.
36:32Change a few details, but keep the intention.
36:36I like it.
36:39In fact, I'm going to speak to DePonte.
36:48Antonio.
36:50What a surprise.
36:52You've caught me at an inopportune time.
36:55Well, it's hard not to.
37:05Oh.
37:07Entertaining.
37:08Very.
37:11Please, sit soft.
37:14No, no, I think I'll come straight to the point, Lorenzo.
37:18There were people who were disturbed by your presence when you first arrived in Vienna.
37:22But I vouched for you.
37:24I saw something in you and the Emperor was moved by your work.
37:27We all have been.
37:29Times are changing.
37:31The Emperor is unwell.
37:32He won't recover?
37:33His brother stands ready to take over when the time comes.
37:36It will be a rude awakening for many of us.
37:39He has none of Joseph's love of the arts.
37:43I expect budgets to tighten.
37:45I expect there to be a less liberal outlook.
37:50Formal notice that you were to be removed from your position as court poet.
37:55And dismissed from Imperial service.
37:57Now, I'm afraid with the loss of both your patron and your position,
38:00questions have been raised about your continued residence here in Vienna.
38:06Figaro.
38:07Politics.
38:16How long do I have?
38:19Oh, I wouldn't linger.
38:23The mood is changing.
38:27You're a man out of time.
38:28You're the man out of time.
38:45Tck.
38:47Lorenzo?
38:49Guck.
38:50You're the man out of time.
38:52You're the man out.
38:52You're the man out of time.
38:54You're the man out of time.
38:55Let's go.
39:25Let's go.
39:55Hello, Wolfgang.
40:03Hello.
40:03Hello.
40:05Mother took Carl up to Barden to see Stanza.
40:08Oh.
40:08We would have told you, but you haven't been to visit, so...
40:13Would you like a seat, Wolfgang?
40:17How is Carl?
40:32He's well.
40:33He can basically talk now.
40:35And Sophie's been giving him piano lessons.
40:38He's very bad, but so am I.
40:42Have you heard from Constanza?
40:45She writes.
40:48Is she happy?
40:52She is.
40:53He is.
40:54He's...
40:56He's...
40:57He...
40:58He's...
40:59You're right.
40:59You're right.
41:00We're not going to be able to see him.
41:00He's...
41:01He's...
41:01He's...
41:01He's...
45:36For the brotherhood.
46:06For the brotherhood.
46:36For the brotherhood.
46:43A commission.
46:49A mass for the dead.
46:55You have seven days.
47:06The pieces had fallen into place.
47:12He was weak.
47:14Broken and alone.
47:19Teetering on the edge of a precipice.
47:27And all that was needed was my hand to finally guide him over.
47:34So, into the darkness we go.
47:40To the dead.
47:47So, into the dead.
47:52The north of the dead.
