Farinelli

1:05:01

Don't resist.

1:05:02

Follow the thread of my voice,
like a musical progression.

1:05:05

I only want to talk.

1:05:07

- Where did you get that?
- It doesn't matter.

1:05:10

I came to offer you this music.

1:05:12

How dare you?

1:05:15

I'll sing it for you.

1:05:17

Sing it for me?

1:05:18

It's time we made peace.

1:05:22

We both had the mystery
revealed to us.

1:05:25

Music belongs to me
just as it belongs to you.

1:05:29

What music?

1:05:31

Good enough to squeeze cheap tears
from females who swoon over your voice?

1:05:36

Is that how you presume
to move me?

1:05:39

With your music, I will.

1:05:42

Because of you,
and to save this theater...

1:05:45

I exhaust myself composing works
unworthy of my talent.

1:05:49

You're causing my music
to deviate from its course.

1:05:52

I'll never forgive you
for that, Farinelli.

1:05:55

A castrato's voice is an example
of nature abused...

1:05:58

rerouted from its goal,
in order to deceive.

1:06:00

You've subverted your voice
to virtuosity without soul...

1:06:04

devoted only to artifice!

1:06:06

Let it stay there!

1:06:09

Give me back my score.

1:06:11

You know, Maestro...

1:06:13

some people say
that my singing...

1:06:16

has power over people.

1:06:19

Don't turn my voice
into an instrument of death.

1:06:23

You don't frighten me.

1:06:25

Everyone knows that Farinelli
promotes his own legend.

1:06:28

Keep on splitting their ears...

1:06:30

with stupid operas
full of idiotic characters!
