Elisabeth Beaumont, hello.
1:06:10
Claude Sabri¨¦, hello.
1:06:12
Thank you for being on our show
this morning.
1:06:16
Claude Sabri¨¦...
1:06:18
what can you tell us
to help us demystify this opera?
1:06:21
Tell us about Turandot.
1:06:27
It's the story of a woman who learns to love.
1:06:31
What exactly does that mean,
"who learns to love"?
1:06:35
Learning to love means
to lose a little bit of one's pride...
1:06:38
one's narcissism...
1:06:40
and one's selfishness.
1:07:06
- Got a cigarette?
- I don't smoke.
1:07:08
- Neither do I.
- So why ask?
1:07:11
To talk to you.
1:07:17
To me, why?
1:07:19
Never had the fantasy
of opening up to a stranger?
1:07:23
Telling him things
you'd never tell anyone else?
1:07:27
- Yeah, but I rarely act it out.
- You should.
1:07:32
When you do, you'll do it with clean hands.
1:07:39
- Do you want to have a cup of coffee?
- Sure.
1:07:44
It's surely Turandot's narcissism...
1:07:46
which makes her submit
to her murderous impulses.
1:07:50
But it's this act of extreme violence...
1:07:53
which allows her to access love.
1:07:56
Turandot learns to love love itself.
1:07:59
This is tremendous.
