Mozart in Love Page #2

("Die Zauberflote: Act

I Finale" by Mozart)

I thought of you night and day.

Being away from you was

like being in exile.

Deprived of my senses,

drifting in a void.

("Die Zauberflote: Wie

stark ist nicht" by Mozart)

I had to come back to

you, my dream woman.

("Die Zauberflote: Dies Bildnis

ist bezaubernd" by Mozart)

I had to woo you as if

it were not a ritual

I had acted out a

dozen times before.

[Voiceover] I had

to let you in me

as if it were not a

fantasy that I had dreamed

a thousand times before.

("Cosi Fan Tutte: Fra

Gil Amplesii" by Mozart)

[Voiceover] To love again.

Can I explain how

wonderful it is

to someone unfortunate

enough not to know?

("Die Zauberflote: Dies Bildnis

ist bezaubernd" by Mozart)

[Voiceover] He's

lost to me forever.

To know that and have the

courage to continue living.

Can I explain how painful it is

to someone fortunate

enough not to know?

("Le Nozze Di Figaro:

L'ho Perduta" by Mozart)

[Voiceover] My poor

darling, my poor Sophie.

She's so young, so vulnerable.

I've done nothing to hurt her,

but I know my joy is her grief.

Go to her, comfort her.

I have happiness to spare.

Come, my dear, come

and live with us.

("Le Nozze Di Figaro:

Cosa Mi Narri" by Mozart)

I'm so happy.

Fate has been kind to me.

Who would've dreamed?

I feel so sorry

for the poor thing.

We can't let this

or anything else

ever come between us.

We must comfort and

support each other always.

Yes.

Yes.

("Cosi Fan Tutte: Soave

Sia Il Vento" by Mozart)

[Voiceover] Could I

have foreseen how fragile

my own happiness was,

I would not have been so

generous with my pity.

("Cosi Fan Tutte: Fra

Gil Amplessi" by Mozart)

[Voiceover] Who

can understand it?

She loved me, I loved her.

Why did I always

think of Louisa?

It was her image which burned

like a red hot coal in my heart.

I adore her still.

I'm excited by the

thought of her,

knowing she can never be mine.

Or was this yet

another daydream?

Poor Constanza.

I would do anything

not to hurt her.

("Le Nozze Di Figaro: E

Susanna Non Vien" by Mozart)

[Voiceover] Her misery

gave me no pleasure.

Nor did it lighten my

burden or console me.

The only cure for me

would be his love.

And that would never be mine.

("Don Giovanni:
Masetto,

Senti Un Po" by Mozart)

("Die Zauberflote: Ach,

ich fhl's" by Mozart)

("Cosi Fan Tutte:

Sento, O Dio" by Mozart)

What came of all

this useless suffering?

All this wasted love?

An opera about two sisters

played by two sisters.

(speaks foreign language)

Perhaps he wanted

have written the opera.

Cosi Fan Tutte in any event.

And if he hadn't,

certainly something else

would've been

written in its stead.

As for me, I prefer something

a little more modern.

We're just two little girls

From Little Rock

We live on the wrong

side of the tracks

But the gentlemen

friends who used to call

They never did

seem to mind at all

They came to

The wrong side of the tracks

There's someone broke my heart

In Little Rock

So I up and left

the pieces there

Like a little lost lamb

I roamed about

I came to New York

And I found out

That men

Are the same way everywhere

I was bound and determined

To be wined and

dined and ermined

And I worked at it

All around the clock

Now one of these days

In my fancy clothes

I'm goin' back home

And punch the nose

Of the one who broke my heart

The one who broke my heart

The one who broke my heart

In Little Rock,

Little Rock, Little Rock

Duh da dee da da dee da da

(laughing)

(graceful orchestral music)

[Voiceover] We were inextricably

bound to each other.

Would we all be chained

to this merry-go-round

for the rest of eternity?

Unless the circle

is somehow broken.

I can't bear this.

[Voiceover] Perhaps

like a Greek myth,

we'll merge into a

single shimmering star

and shoot off into

the darkest night

to illuminate a tiny

portion of the sky.

Or maybe we'll become,

the four of us,

a constellation in the sky

so that young lovers can look up

and see us there forever.

("Cosi Fan Tutte: Muoio

D'affano" by Mozart)

[Voiceover] How

unjust the gods are.

If only we could all

have what we wanted.

If everyone's dream

could've come true.

(graceful operatic music)

[Voiceover] If only I could

be sure that all this waiting

and yearning hasn't

been for nothing.

But if it was for a purpose,

what could that

purpose possibly be?

Perhaps it was enough

just to love in silence

without the love

being acknowledged.

Not unrequited love,

but unrecognized love.

Constanza loves him in her way.

But where is she now

that he needs her?

She is off nursing one

of her imaginary ailments

at the mineral bathes,

while he is dying.

I sit here and watch helplessly.

[Voiceover] I can feel its

cold hand on my shoulder.

If only I could live

a few more years.

No, I regret nothing.

There's nothing I

would've changed.

I lived for music.

Music is everything.

I lived for love.

Love, too, is everything.

("Die Zauberflote: Dies Bildnis

ist bezaubernd" by Mozart)

[Voiceover] Could

this be my reward?

To help ease your

journey into eternity,

where perhaps we

can be truly united,

just you and I,

who deserved each

other the most.

But what does deserving

have to do with any of it?

("Die Zauberflote: Ach,

ich fhl's" by Mozart)

("Les Noces de

Figaro" by Mozart)
