1:31:03
Yes, sire.
1:31:05
Yet we hear you're making an
opera from it. Is this true?
1:31:14
Who told you this, Majesty?
1:31:16
It is not your place to ask questions.
Is it true?
1:31:21
Yes, I...
1:31:23
I admit it is.
1:31:27
Would you tell me why?
1:31:31
Majesty, it is only a comedy.
1:31:34
What you think is scarcely the point.
1:31:37
It's what His Majesty thinks
that counts.
1:31:41
But, Your Majesty...
1:31:43
Mozart...
1:31:45
...I am a tolerant man.
1:31:47
I do not censor things lightly.
When I do, I have good reason.
1:31:53
"Figaro" is a bad play.
1:31:56
It stirs up hatred between classes.
1:31:59
In France, it has caused
only bitterness.
1:32:02
My sister Antoinette is beginning
to be frightened of her own people.
1:32:08
I swear, there's nothing
like that in the piece.
1:32:11
I've taken out everything that could
give offense. I hate politics.
1:32:16
I'm afraid you're rather innocent.
1:32:19
In these dangerous times I cannot
afford to provoke our people...
1:32:24
...simply over a theater piece.
1:32:26
Majesty, this is just a frolic.
A piece about love.
1:32:31
"Love". Again!
1:32:34
And it's new!
1:32:35
It's entirely new.
The people will go mad for it.
1:32:40
I have scenes...
1:32:42
The end of Act Il, for example.
1:32:45
It starts as a duet.
A husband and wife quarreling.
1:32:49
Suddenly, the scheming maid comes in.
It's a very funny situation.
1:32:54
Duet turns into trio.
1:32:56
Then the husband's valet comes in.
1:32:59
Trio turns into quartet.
