Hello.

I am a singer...

I come to make a replacement.

I was told to present myself at the entrance ...

My name is Hazel Klein.

There are false invitations

circulating ...

You're late Mademoiselle.

I'm sorry, but I live

two hours from Paris and ...

I came on foot from the station.

Excuse me, do you know who I have to

address about my salary?

Do not worry, Mademoiselle.

Madame will be very generous.

You have some other shoes with you?

No, but ... I can clean them.

Do not worry, Mademoiselle.

This is a work

charity, right?

Yes, the "war orphans", yes.

If that doesn't make you want to

set everything on fire?

Hey look, it's the Queen Mother.

She is rich!

Oh yes.

What does that matter?

I like it so much Kiril.

Hazel.

Herself.

So...

Hazel.

Do you have something against

poetry dear Madame?

My God no.

I write myself.

To a good time !

Kiril von Priest.

The paintings are also of me

They are very nice.

How would you like to invest in

a gallery, Princess?

Hello.

Hello.

Ah, yes, it is much more elegant.

Thank you but I have to sing.

Lucien Beaumont.

Beaumont?

- Shh.

I came incognito.

I know your name.

You write very unfair things about

a friend of mine in your newspaper.

Alice Jardinet.

Oh yes ... She sang ...

like a frog, right?

It did make many suffer.

No ... it made her very good.

What is this ?

What is she singing?

In fact Madame Dumont came to

hear me singing in the conservatory.

She was looking for someone

for a duet and ...

I was told that it paid well.

Have you already heard her sing?

No.

But mostly she sings

for her friends, I think.

In concert.

Apparently yes.

It is going to be soon

your concert, Mademoiselle.

The shoes...

Thats perfect.

Thank you.

She is not eager for

you to listen, the Marguerite?

She is already looking at us

if you want to know.

What do you mean ?

There are holes in the

large painting in the living room.

It was herself who told me.

It seems she is still waiting for her

husband to be here to start singing.

You see...

There is a lot of things

you dont know.

And ... where is the husband?

...OK with me,

so here goes ...

I made them myself ...

You still do not have

news of my husband?

He is going to arrive soon Madame.

It's always the same thing...

Do not worry.

I will return shortly, Caruso.

Hmm?

Well ... Come on ... here we go?

Notify me as soon as my husband arrives.

He has to have a problem ...

Bravo.

Congratulations ladies.

Bravo.

Bravo.

Our association is always

happy to introduce you to

new and beautiful voices.

Bravo ... really well done.

This quarter, the Amadeus Circle

is pleased to support

the orphans of the war.

Our friend Fraoise Bellaire

is available to you in the lobby

to collect donations.

These orphans are our children.

The children of France.

We know how you can

all be very generous.

It was beautiful, Mademoiselle.

And yet I know that it is not

not an easy air.

Thanks a lot Madame.

The orchestra, it went alright?

Yes, very well.

They are very good musicians.

Thank you.

And now...

the moment that we're all waiting for.

Once again...

our friend the Baroness Marguerite Dumont

offers a very ambitious recital.

Music ... who among us loves it

with as much generosity?

... humility ... and especially ...

demand?

It is with immense joy

I ask you to welcome

our benefactor ...

Baroness Marguerite Dumont ...

So ... Either you enter or

you leave Monsieur.

but don't leave the door open.

It's unbearable.

Does she always sings like that?

Oh no...

She has improved a lot ...

Daisies for Marguerite.

It was interesting, right?

But what happened?

Perhaps she had a problem of ...

It is the good Marguerite ...

You heard it ...

She ... she ... she's

phenomenal. I love it.

You love what?

But her wild appeal.

You heard it?

Finally there is something happening.

We are in the life! Brava!

Calm down...

It happens under the gilding,

amid the aristocrats

I will embrace this wonder.

Brava! I love you !

Beautiful !

Me ?

Hey well go ahead,

he will not bite you.

No, I dont know what happened ...

Suddenly there was a noise ...

the engine began to smoke,

I skidded, and anyway

I even got hurt ...

No, I need to take it to the ...

No, by the way I listened to

feedback from some guests ...

it is a success I believe.

Everyone says you have been wonderful.

Absolutely wonderful ... ...

That is too much ...

Thank you very much.

You have a very beautiful voice,

Mademoiselle.

Thank you.

But Madame Dumont, she was uh ...

she had troubles with her voice?

Perhaps you may want

to congratulate her?

No, no, no, ... uh ...

I do not want to bother her.

I'm going to go.

If you insist...

No. I do not insist at all.

Mademoiselle Hazel wants to talk to you.

She was very insistent.

Ah, yes!

Have her enter, yes.

It was good what she did, right?

Go ahead Mademoiselle ...

Come ...

Come Mademoiselle.

Hello.

You heard me a little. I was

unable to get out a high note.

Oh no!...

It seemed good to me, Madame.

Ah, you see ...

Mademoiselle, tell her what you

heard after her recital.

A lot of emotions.

I believe that...

everyone has enjoyed it.

Hey, well then, stop

putting yourself in this state ...

It needs to remain a pleasure, all that.

Yes, well that's a lot

even when working.

Besides, I wanted to thank you also

you have been very generous ...

They told me you were leaving

the Conservatory ...

that you are very worthy.

I work with a group of

young composers ...

We are trying new things.

New music.

Anyway, I'd be happy to invite you,

if one day you ...

I'm sorry ... the guests

are calling for a photo with you, Madame.

Ah ... the photo, yes, yes.

It makes them so pleased.

Your heels!

I need to return your shoes!

Oh no, no no no, keep them.

Like Cinderella.

A thousand thanks.

Where is Franoise?

Franoise, it is also a small

thanks to you for all that. Come.

This is not an article to be written,

it is a poem.

Hazel, come near me.

And live the music!

Hold still ...

One

Two...

Really good.

Really.

Look what I stole.

Wasn't everything like the Rockefellers,

in the living room ...

There is a signature ...

"To the great Marguerite Dumont."

It is her or her husband

who has the loot?

From what I was told, he had

a title of nobility, and she,

she had the money to save the walls

and then ... the appearances.

Madame Butterfly

Samson and Dalilah.

It's splendid.

They are real stage costumes,

it appears.

They come from where, these photos?

Where has she sung?

Who knows...

Do you think she realises

that she sings badly?

She hears her voice?

No. A singer does not hear

her own singing.

So.

- Not really.

A real singer, yes.

When she sings, she feels her voice

is misplaced.

Yes, but she has nothing like her real

singer friends there ...

Oh yes ... the costumes.

Yes...

You think she doesnt knows that

she sings completely wrong?

I dont believe so...
