- Maestro!
- The piano has been tuned, Maestro.
1:04:18
- When do we introduce the concerto?
- Probably after the opera.
1:04:21
Inspector Daubert has a plan of his own,
and we must give it every chance.
1:04:25
You may enjoy seeing the opera
from the orchestra pit.
1:04:28
I'll be quite comfortable here.
I can look through the score.
1:04:32
- Excuse me. The overture.
- Thank you again, Maestro.
1:04:39
Remain onstage
throughout the performance.
1:04:42
Make yourselves inconspicuous, and
be on the alert for anything suspicious.
1:04:46
The only persons backstage are
the members of the opera company,
1:04:49
all of whom you know. Now, that is all.

(# overture begins)
1:05:04
Christine, I'd rather
you'd stayed at home.
1:05:06
You understand why
I asked them not to let you sing?
1:05:09
But I couldn't stay away.
We're introducing a new opera
1:05:12
- And Madame Lorenzi's a great artist...
- And Anatole Garron is the baritone!
1:05:16
I'm sorry, Christine, but I'm concerned
about what may happen tonight.
1:05:20
I know. I am too.
1:05:23
Wait for me, please,
in your dressing room.
