Farinelli

1:22:23

Finally, Farinelli...

1:22:26

what renderedus enemies
for so many years...

1:22:29

will be resolved tonight.

1:22:32

It's time to settle our account
before God.

1:22:35

Do you remember the opera...

1:22:37

that your brother promised you
when you were boys?

1:22:41

Do you remember, Farinelli,
with what emotion he spoke of it?

1:22:46

Did you ever ask yourself...

1:22:48

whether it was to soothe
the pain of your castration...

1:22:51

or to still
his howling conscience?

1:22:55

It's time you faced the truth...

1:22:58

that has haunted you
since childhood.

1:23:00

Why do you refuse to hear
what you've known all along?

1:23:04

It's to this brother
who had you castrated...

1:23:07

that you dedicated
all your talent.

1:23:10

And to perpetuate
this brotherly pact...

1:23:14

you spat in the face of Handel.

1:23:18

You managed to turn me
into what you've always been.

1:23:22

You castrated...

1:23:25

my imagination.

1:23:28

Starting now, I'll never compose
another opera again. Never again!

1:23:34

You are the first to know...

1:23:37

and the only one to blame.

1:23:40

Ask God for the strength
to continue...

1:23:45

and to sing, without wavering,
the music you stole from me...

1:23:52

Farinelli.
