:11:00
Five minutes!
:11:03
Yes?
:11:05
Do you not know that His Majesty has
expressly forbidden ballet in operas?
:11:10
- It's not a ballet, it's a dance.
- Exactly. A dance.
:11:15
Surely, His Majesty didn't mean
no dancing when it's in the story.
:11:20
It's dangerous to interpret his
edicts. Give me your score, please.
:11:34
Thank you.
:11:39
What are you doing, Herr Direktor?
:11:42
Taking out what you should
never have put in.
:11:46
Please. Please!
:11:49
I have no one else to turn to.
:11:52
- What is it?
- It's unbelievable.
:11:54
The direktor has torn up
a huge section of my music.
:11:59
They say I have to rewrite the opera.
:12:02
But it's perfect as it is.
:12:05
I can't...
:12:06
...rewrite what's perfect.
:12:11
Please.
:12:12
Can't you talk to him?
:12:15
Please.
:12:16
Why bother?
He's no friend of yours.
:12:19
I could kill him!
I mean, really! Kill him!
:12:25
I threw the entire score into
the fire, he made me so angry.
:12:29
- You burned the score?
- No, my wife took it out in time.
:12:35
Thank God.
:12:38
It's unfair that a man like that
should have power over our work!
:12:44
But there are those
who have power over him.
:12:49
I think I'll take this up
with the emperor.
:12:54
Excellency...
:12:56
...would you?
:12:59
With all my heart, Mozart.
