:03:02
You're absolutely sure?
:03:08
Herr Mozart.
:03:11
Gentlemen, sit down.
:03:17
Mozart.
:03:20
Are you aware that I have declared
the French play Figaro...
:03:25
...unsuitable for our theater?
:03:28
Yes, sire.
:03:30
Yet we hear you're making an
opera from it. Is this true?
:03:39
Who told you this, Majesty?
:03:41
It is not your place to ask questions.
Is it true?
:03:46
Yes, I...
:03:48
I admit it is.
:03:52
Would you tell me why?
:03:57
Majesty, it is only a comedy.
:03:59
What you think is scarcely the point.
:04:02
It's what His Majesty thinks
that counts.
:04:06
But, Your Majesty...
:04:08
Mozart...
:04:10
...I am a tolerant man.
:04:13
I do not censor things lightly.
When I do, I have good reason.
:04:18
Figaro is a bad play.
:04:22
It stirs up hatred between classes.
:04:24
In France, it has caused
only bitterness.
:04:28
My sister Antoinette is beginning
to be frightened of her own people.
:04:33
I swear, there's nothing
like that in the piece.
:04:36
I've taken out everything that could
give offense. I hate politics.
:04:41
I'm afraid you're rather innocent.
:04:44
In these dangerous times I cannot
afford to provoke our people...
:04:49
...simply over a theater piece.
:04:52
Majesty, this is just a frolic.
A piece about love.
:04:57
"Love." Again!
:04:59
And it's new!
