My Heart Calls For You
But Customs Officer, we're coming from Montevideo and want to take the boat to Europe Tosca - Montevideo - Marseille
we're an international travelling Opera company and our next engagement is in Monte Carlo
my name is Rosé
Rosé, if you please
but listen to me, Officer, the name's Rosé
Spanish [open up the boxes ???]
sure
have you never heard of me?
you don't read the newspapers, otherwise you would have heard about my latest flop ...
as I said, Rosé, I'm the troupe's director
and here are ... where are you?
and here are my stars
may I introduce ...
my first soprano
primadonna
and my lyrical baritone
where did he go again?
excuse me
you must listen when I'm telling you something, I'm not talking for the walls
baritonna lyrica
- and this is my .... - bass
go away! where's my tenor?
allow me: Linsemann, bass
hallo! hallo!
Mario, where are you?
here I am
come here, I must tell you something
excuse me
Mario, listen to me
come here, Mario, I must introduce you to the Customs guy
Good Heavens, you'll catch a cold, button up your collar!
you're my "capital"
here we are
Mr. Customs Officer, allow me, this is my tenor, my "capital"
[Spanish ???]
mela caxa, he keeps saying this, what does he want?
he says we must open up all the boxes
maybe we're carrying gold or foreign currency with us
gold? what a fool! tell him if he finds gold with us, half of it is his
my Spanish isn't as good as that
then tell him, a quarter
Mr. Customs Officer! where is he now?
listen
try to understand me
we're artists, we have no gold
???
this is the limit, wanting to pierce a poor theatre director
listen, you don't understand a word of German, don't you
not one syllable
then I might as well tell you
to me, you're the most disgusting fellow I've ever met
and now you can m... open the boxes
come on, hurry up, those South Americans sure take their time
open it Don Cesar - Montevideo - Marseille
here are my props and costumes, Tosca, Carmen, Turandot
and this is my orchestra, 84 men
and I'm the conductor
look at this
you'll be surprised
the latest technical wonder
push one button and the whole thing runs on its own
what was that? you don't seem to like it?
???
sonestras? those are theatrical pearls
perlas de teatro
gaudy costumes, glitter
for gypsies, bullfighters, smugglers
kids, let's sing something for the guy, otherwise he'll never understand and we'll miss the boat
here, the quartet from Rigoletto, let's go
# stets muss ja solche Sprödigkeit in Wonnen und Liebe enden
- # dies Händchen, ach wie zart und fein - # du willst mich wohl verhöhnen
- # nein nein - du Schmeichler - # umarme mich, bin liebestrunken
# du machst, mein feines Herrchen, dich lustig über mich
# Zur Gattin wähl ich dich
# für ewig dein zu bleiben # nun, ist dir das genug?
# ??? Madonna Teresa
# der kann das nicht sein
# lass mich, meine carissima, dort zu dir hinein
well, do you believe now who we are?
passare
Montevideo - Marseille
we're now leaving South America
where you had triumphs undreamt of under my direction
- and for two months - haven't received any fee
I must ask you to stop interrupting me
instead I'm offering you now the chance of your lifetime
the chance of a guest performance at the opera of Monte Carlo
you've opened up your collar again, don't catch a cold!
if Monte Carlo is cancelled again ...
you know, I've a heart of gold
but if that happens ...
then, Linsemann!
your suspicions are positively insulting
and I find it hard to preserve my directorial dignity
if you please!
Captain, I have been informed that a person has secretly come aboard right now when we're about to sail
but you haven't found anybody yet?
no
then have all the cabins searched
yessir
what's the meaning of this? all three of us are supposed to sleep in here?
no, the Director has his own cabin
the 13!
you've got a cabin no. 13 on the boat and I of all people am to sleep there!
Director?
let me propose something
you'll bunk in with Linsemann and I'll take the 13
what? Linsemann?
but that's even worse than 13
I'm not superstitious
- so? - but I don't like the 13
I've never slept in a room no. 13, and on a boat of all places ...
well, 13 or Linsemann?
then I'd rather take Linsemann
- what are you doing here? - I ...
I ...
I don't have a ticket, please don't report me
don't report me, for Heaven's sake!
- well, did you find anything? - nothing
go on with your search
I beg your pardon, is there a lady in your cabin?
a lady?
but no!
it's me!
I see
here they are!
quiet!
keep quiet!
come in
good day
are you alone in the cabin?
of course. why?
but you just spoke to somebody, didn't you
to whom?
to myself
why?
I'm just studying my part in the opera "The Abducted Girl"
be quiet, darling, hold your breath
so that the evil enemy cannot find you
stop your silly jokes. is anybody in here besides yourself? yes or no?
# never shalt thou question me!
# nor keep worrying
one moment, allow me
thank you
she isn't in there either
# Martha, Martha you fled from here
# Martha, wherever might you have gone?
excuse the disturbance, good-bye
# the pleasure was all mine
if you only helped me because of this ...
then you'd better call those people back right away
no no, please stay
I'll be well-behaved
may I come nearer just this much?
please do
tell me, how did you get to South America in the first place?
well, I wanted to earn some money
an agent got me a job as a secretary
but I soon realized it was all humbug
then I bolted
but I'm telling you, I won't go back! I'd rather jump off board!
but who's going to send you back?
but the captain, at the next port, if I don't get a ticket
you'll get your ticket
I'll talk it over with my director right away
but he hasn't any money either
because, you see, we all have no money
yes?
# we're going to dinner
you go ahead, I'll come later
please stay hanging here for a moment
I'll be back soon
reserved for the troupe Rosé
eat your fill, kids, don't be shy
the meals are included in the ticket price
why didn't you say so?
has the stowaway been discovered already?
not yet, Madame
he must have found a good hiding place
but he'll come out once he's hungry
waiter!
another piece of chicken
what? you ate so quickly?
yes, the sea air
what about the bones?
I must have swallowed them
are you out of your mind!
here, a piece of bread
not even ???
did Mademoiselle sleep well?
allow me to invite you to supper
that's nice of you
please sit down
thank you
only, I don't know ...
don't fuss, I too have known days when I hadn't had my breakfast in the evening
here you are
do you want to sleep top or bottom?
bottom of course
I'm the director after all
Linsemann, don't you forget it!
I'm warning you!
why?
are you sure you don't want to sleep top?
out of the question!
alright
help! Linsemann!
good night
and now you may go to bed
what about you?
don't worry about me
no way, I cannot accept this
shh, otherwise I'll go to the captain straight away
may I come in?
where are you going, sir?
I want to give a concert right now
I beg your pardon?
say it again
a benefit concert, Captain
for a sweet and charming little girl
first, I'm not a captain
second, I must seriously ask to to go back to your third class section
no, Admiral, I must sing! I must sing!
hallo hallo
boys!
show the gentleman back to third class
maybe he's on the fo'c'sle?
well boys, did you find him?
no, Purser
where on earth did the guy go!
attention! attention!
hey you! come down at once!
ladies and gentlemen!
Lend me your ear!
silence!
for our stowaway
and that's why I'll sing you a song now
Captain
Captain, I ...
but this is an excellent surprise for our guests
I have ...
yes, I know, you always have excellent ideas
one does what one can
# my heart always calls for you
# oh Marita
# I'll never let you leave me
# oh Marita
# I'm standing in front of your chamber's door
# Marita
# and I'll wait patiently day and night
# till one day, your love will smile at me
# my heart always calls for you
# oh Marita
# therefore never leave me
# oh Marita
# you are my dream, my sunshine
# I only love you, you alone
# my heart always calls for you
# Marita
# since I've met you I adore you,
# dream of you, yearningly
# since I've met you, I desire you
# tell me if I may hope
# and if you wanted to leave me again one day
# only a dream would remain to me
# I only looked at you very slightly
# and since then I love you
# my heart always calls for you, oh Marita
# I'll never let you leave me, oh Marita
# I'm standing in front of your chamber's door
# Marita
# and wait patiently day and night
# till one day, your love will smile at me
# my heart always calls for you, oh Marita
# Never leave me, oh Marita

# Marita
ladies and gentlemen
your donations please for the stowaway
please donate
thank you
here you are, sir. a third class ticket
for Miss Carla ... that's all I know
do not disturb
good morning! Mario
# oh Marita
# you are my dream, my sunshine
# I only love you, you alone
# my heart always calls for you
# Marita
Mario!
excuse me, could you open the door for me?
I'll hold this for you
my tenor
thank you
but the breakfast
I'll serve it myself
Mario! get up!
I've brought the breakfast along too
he's still lying in the feathers and outside the sun's shining!
hallo!
I beg your pardon
I must have been mistaken about the cabin
excuse me
I thought this was cabin no. 13
but this is Mario's cabin!
who are you?
are you ...
you're the stowaway!
yes
but not anymore since last night
here you are
here's my ticket
this is strange
this is strong stuff
this is almost criminal
it is?
tell me
Director Rosé?
yes please
a telegram
thank you
you're welcome
hallo!
- where's the telegram? - delivered already
Rosé "Santos" - Monte Carlo engagement despite all efforts cancelled at the last moment. Thalia Theatrical Agency
but that's not possible!
that's not possible!
but that's not possible!
but it was as good as ...
all this is because of cabin no. 13!
what happened?
hallo? Director?
- are you in there? - no - yes
what does the telegram say?
in the telegram?
in the radio telegram?
Rosé "Santos" - Monte Carlo engagement despite all efforts cancelled at the last moment. Thalia Theatrical Agency
- something great - but what is it?
Monte Carlo eagerly awaiting us
"eagerly"! Hurrah! We're saved!
Hurrah!
Saved!
saved
why did you lie?
why?
how do you know?
but you've put the telegram right under my nose
I have?
why don't you tell your troupe the truth?
why don't you?
because otherwise they'd break down
why?
my dear Miss, you can't understand this
they are artists
they're big children
they have nothing on earth but this tiny bit of a chance
Monte Carlo was their last ray of hope
they gave me a definite promise
am I to tell them that again it's all off?
but why don't they let you perform?
because everybody in the theatre thinks only big names can pull it off
but how can youth show the stuff they're made of when they don't get a chance!
kids, what do you say!
the deal with Monte Carlo is on!
really?
and who doubted it?
you did!
I?
he did!
I?
Linsemann!
most important: not a word to the others!
and not to Mario either!
otherwise he'll let me down at the decisive moment
- because he's the most important member - Mario?
once we're over there and he's auditioning for the Director of Monte Carlo
then I won't be afraid anymore
then everything will be saved
- you think so - sure
but all this is no good
we don't even have the money for a hotel
don't you worry about that
here!
Good Heavens, what kind of a wallet is this!
here you are
for me?
I'm sure it'll be enough for a few days
Miss, you're an angel
and I have only one wish:
that you might see the money again one day
Mario! Mario!
the Director got a telegram, Monte Carlo eagerly awaiting us
- but this is great - isn't it
we're saved! saved!
you've brought us luck
- we've just received good news - wonderful
now you must promise me one thing
once we're over there you won't go home straight away
you'll stay with us at least till our opening in Monte Carlo
will you?
Opera Monte-Carlo
morning, Director
what's the matter?
I see, good morning
good morning
I see
I see, good morning
good morning
tell Coq he's to come here at once
but I'm here already, Director
I see, yes, I forgot
has anything happened, Director?
yes, a terrible thing!
I've made a rendezvous for breakfast this morning with that little blonde, you know ...
with the puppy dog eyes
- Margot, Director - yes, Margot
but I don't know where!
is that so?
where did we ask her to meet again?
- you're forgetting everything too these days - I know, at the "Sciro", Director
yes that's right, at the Sciro
well then, good-bye, you'll take care of the mail
I beg your pardon, Director
your cane and hat
I see, cane and hat
and something else has happened, Director
the Opera troupe Rosé has arrived
why? what do they want here?
but they want to give a guest performance with us, we've as good as accepted already
as good as, but not completely
here we are, kids
now let me handle this
knock on wood
I've taken a lease of the opera for several weeks, I cannot undertake any ex ...
pe ...
experiments, experiments.
I need names which have a pull, well established stars
I need ... Margot, say, Margot...
where did I arrange for the rendezvous?
At the Sciro, Director.
At the ... the Sciro, that's right
- I only forgot. well, good-bye - Good-bye.
excuse me, where's the Director?
the Director? straight on, through that door
thank you
the Director? but that's me!
one moment, excuse me
what is it you want to see the Director about?
that's none of your business
I see, of course, excuse me
Eduard!
come here
here I am, Director
say, who is that lady?
no idea, Director
- you don't know her? - I don't, Director
- perhaps she's coming to see me? - she is, Director
but I'm not upstairs
you aren't, Director
- but this isn't very practical - it isn't, Director
then I'll go upstairs
Bobby!
- Bobby! - What is it?
where are you? I've been waiting for you for half an hour
- I totally forgot ... - come along
please announce me to the Director
- one moment, is there a piano in the Director's room? - yes
why a piano?
am I to audition in here?
not at all! we just want to say hello to the Director
- I see. - this is only polite
of course
say, are you in good voice?
please come in
good day
good day, Herr Rosé
I don't understand you, we've sent you a wire and cancelled
that's right, but I'm here all the same
I got the telegram alright, but in your own interest, I'm not supposed to have got it
because, you see, you haven't heard us sing yet
especially our tenor
if you could hear him sing, Director
- please remove those pictures - but I'm not the dir...
yes I know, you aren't curious
but you must hear him sing, Director
I can tell you, Director, that voice ...
that timbre
that middle range
that lower range
and his top notes
I'm telling you, wonderful
and his piano, like the thinnest whisp of air
ahh ... I can't really ... and his fortissimo
- all this is very well ... - very well? But this doesn't do him justice at all!
He's wonderful, glorious!
so you want to hear him sing? you want a sample of his singing artistry?
you're an artist!
one second, Director, you'll hear him presently
Mario! Come in! The Director wants to hear you sing.
but what for?
just go inside
come quickly! come, Mario, come!
but gentlemen, please don't trouble yourselves
trouble? but it's no trouble at all for him, he likes it, Director
he really likes doing it
good day, Director
he really likes doing it, Director
he doesn't let me speak!
# Ah, non mi ridestar o soffio dell’April.
# Ah, non mi ridestar.
# Su di me sento la carezza
# Ed ahime’, di gia’ spunta il di’
# Del soffrir, della tristezza
# Ah, non mi ridestar
# o soffio dell’April.
# Doman ritornera’ da lunge il viator
# E del passato ricordera’ la gloria
# E il suo sguardo invan cerchera’ lo splendor
# E non verranno piu’ che lutto e che dolore. Ohime’!
# Ah, non mi ridestar
# o soffio dell’April.
bravo, congratulations
wonderful
you can go now, I don't need you anymore
I'll take care of the business matter
good-bye
congratulations
don't forget the advance
here, take this for a start
now out with you!
well, can he sing?
yes
will he sing?
no
but Director!
I'm not the Director
you aren't?
no, I'm only his secretary Coq
what? how? you are ...
and you're telling me this only now!
but you didn't give me a chance to explain
out!
what do you want in there?
buy you a dress, for the premiere
you must sit in the front row and look beautiful
- but this shop is too expensive - doesn't matter
but this doesn't matter
- this doesn't matter, Herr ... - Coq
Herr Koch
do you know that I'm going bankrupt if you don't engage us!
but Mr. Rosé, if we engaged every theatre director about to go bankrupt...
besides, you mustn’t forget that we have the biggest international stars under contract
must always the same stars perform?
of course, otherwise the public won't come
but give youth a chance for once! you've never even made the experiment before
but we're not a laboratory, we're an opera!
is that so! is that what you're telling me!
what about her? she's been playing Gretchen with you I suppose!
she has, for 30 years
really! do you know what you are?
you're not an opera, you're a nursing home for the elderly
we renounce your offer
the way he sang, just gorgeous
now our guest performance is secure
but I thought it was secure already?
of course it was, but now it's doubly secure
Mario is beside himself with joy
go to no. 6 and tell the lady of no. 7 that the gentlemen of no. 8 asks her to come
come in
the gentlemen of no. 8 asks the lady of no. 7 to come to the dining room.
coming
good-bye
yes?
what are you doing in there?
you'll see presently
one moment
doors open for the concert of the new talent of the Opera of Monte Carlo
don't push, ladies and gentlemen
which seat, Mademoiselle?
first row no. 3
follow me please
Mademoiselle is very fortunate
the only seat not sold out yet
- would you like a program? - yes
here you are
does Mademoiselle know the tenor personally?
only very slightly
I've heard he's in love with a little girl
he met on his voyage
really?
he hasn't told me about it yet
I've heard he's very shy
there he is
ladies and gentlemen
I've decided to sing tonight only for one lady
and that's why I must ask all the other people in the audience to leave
you'll get a refund for your ticket at the box office
my esteemed single lady
finally I can tell you something very private
and not with flowers
but with a song
conductor, begin
or better still, get lost too
I'll accompany myself
# violins gently carress the air
# telling the most enchanting tales!
# Laughingly enticing and whispering to you,
# fairytales of love, as beautiful as only you are
# when they sound sweetly, rejoicing up to the heavens,
# you feel how poor are words and looks
# compared with a little music?
# I sing my song only for you today
# "Do you love me"? the waltz asks
# don't say a word, only look at me
# for then I'll know whether I'll be happy
# I sing my song only for you
# and this waltz begs you to be mine
# all my yearning, my heart and my happiness
# fly towards you, with the music
# All that I feel for you
# is expressed in my song
# I sing my song
# only for you today
# "Do you love me?" the waltz asks
# don't say a word, only look at me
# because then I'll know whether I could be happy
# I sing my song only for you
# and this waltz promises, be mine
# all my yearning, my heart and my happiness
# fly towards you, with the music
# what my feelings are for you
# tells me ...
# my song
what are you doing out there?
I'm looking for the Director
coming with the advance money
really, this is insolent!
to keep us waiting in the hotel for so long, without money
but you look terrible!
I'm done for.
all is lost
why? The Director was enthusiastic
Director?
he was only the secretary
and the Director?
he isn't available to anybody
sic transit gloria mundi
how do you mean?
we ... eh ... let me translate more literally
"thus drift away your furs"
yes, the lady needs the dress tonight at all costs
no, the bill for tomorrow
I understand perfectly
as the saying goes: the most beautiful dress isn't fun if the bill comes at the same time
ah yes
but Madame is looking ravishing!
charming, look at this line
but don't you think it's a bit too simple for the premiere
which premiere?
for your opera premiere!
I see, for my opera premiere
I totally forgot
I think the dress might be a bit more ...
cut lower, more décolleté
yes, décolleté
in consideration of the gentlemen sitting behind her, I see
- I'd like to see the Directrice - one moment
Madame
excuse me, I'll be back right away
good day, Mademoiselle, they just phoned, the dress will be delivered in an hour
Miss Trude
wrap up the dress for Mademoiselle at once
no no the dress mustn't be delivered, because ...
I beg your pardon?
because ... because of the bill
don't worry about it. Miss Else!
the gentlemen said to pay the bill tomorrow
the Baroness is waiting at no. 5
this is no problem at all
no, it's a big problem
the gentlemen doesn't know yet that he cannot pay at all
my dear Miss, you're playing with words which could kill a human being
Miss Trude
the dress won't be delivered
and I'd like to have back the advance too
on top of that!
what's the matter?
why are they leaving me alone in here?
go and see what's keeping Mademoiselle, will you
which Mademoiselle?
who attended to us right now
she attended to us?
I see, the Mademoiselle
I totally forgot
but why can't the gentleman pay?
why? because there are people who call themselves opera directors but don't have the courage to engage new artists.
because they can't appreciate youth
and because that Director Arvelle is an ass!
yes, an ass! It's his fault if talented people don't know what to do
that I have to cancel my beautiful new evening dress and ask back for my advance
this fool!
this chief of a second-rate joint!
if you see him, you can tell him this
adieu!
how embarrassing. I'm desolate
whom did the girl get so excited about?
about Director Arvelle
really?
but that's me!
so it seems
but this is interesting!
but the girl's charming, isn't she
- she has a lot of ... - temperament
temperament
say, can't you tell me her exact address?
of course I can
exact addresses - our specialty
# ??? I am death!
# "Do you love me?" the waltz asks
Mario, one moment. listen to me
give it a break
I have something serious to talk over with you
# I've learned, today I'll ???
# because I'm so happy today
# what I'm feeling for you
# my song tells it for me
I'm so happy, Carla told me today that she loves me and we'll go out tonight
what did you want to tell me?
I?
I ... uh
oh ...
but you wanted to tell me something?
well ... what was it ...
you're happy
- yes. - then it can wait till tomorrow
don't catch a cold
and take care of your voice
you're ...
"our capital"
- have fun tonight - thank you
# I sing my song only for you
# and this waltz tells me you're mine
# all my longing, my heart and my happiness
# are flying towards you, with the music
# what I feel for you
yes?
hallo? director?
- come in - with pleasure
- take away the knife - why?
don't be so careless, I can't bear it
give it to me
because I've something important to talk over with you
dear Mademoiselle, you remember me?
Fashion House Farell
I've brought you three things
a dress, a cape and a letter
- but I've cancelled the dress - everything's paid for, even the cape
- what cape? - the cape belonging to the dress
what's the meaning of this?
it's all explained in the letter
My temperamental Mademoiselle! To continue our far too short exchange, I expect you tonight at 9 o'clock in the Casino's foyer yours sincerely
Your devoted Arvelle
what? the letter is from the Opera Director?
he was the gentleman in the shop?
a charming cavalier who fulfills every wish of a pretty lady
the Director ...
of the opera
what answer shall I bring him?
tell him ...
I'll be there
I'll see to it at once
our specialty
I see, you delivered the dress personally
Indeed. I hope Mademoiselle will be satisfied
so do I
don't worry about the bill
well? satisfied?
now let's get ready. where's the dress?
Mario, you really want to go out tonight?
of course
hasn't Rosé spoken to you?
he did. why?
because ...
because I told him I'd stay home tonight
but Carla, we agreed
I've been looking forward to it so much
so did I, Mario, but I'm too tired tonight, really
don't look so sad
tomorrow's another day
and he kept this from us till today
but I never believed it anyway
what are we to do now?
but kids, that's very simple
we're broke
and we can't pay the bill anyway
how about ordering a nice dinner first
you're crazy!
what's going on here?
what's the matter with you?
look at that pitiful pile of misfortune
then you'll know it all
and you're all downcast because of this!
if I did audition for the wrong guy, I'll audition for the right guy now!
and tonight!
- but he won't let you audition - what!
he's let us know we all could go to the devil
we'll see about that! come with me!
what's he up to now?
# what I am doing, I'm doing for you
# "Do you love me?" the waltz asks
# don't say a word, just look at me
# for then I'll know whether I may be happy
# I sing the song only for you
# and this waltz is begging "Be mine!"
# all my longings, my heart and my happiness
# are flying towards you, with the music
so punctual. that's sweet
you look charming
I only came to talk something over
which might also be of some interest to you
that's splendid. may I arrange for tonight's program? may I?
first we'll gamble a bit
then we'll have supper
then I'll take you to a nice little masked ball
and then we'll talk over everything which might be of interest to me, shall we?
do you like roulette?
- what do you want, gentlemen? - the director
- he isn't in - he's made you tell this lie
no, he really isn't in
but what do you want from him?
- we want to sing - again?
please tell us where he is, dear Herr Koch
- Coq! - Coq. where is he?
in the casino
- there we are! - doesn't matter!
I've already sung at a police station,
in a swimming pool with artificial waves,
on the mast of an ocean liner,
why shouldn't I sing in a casino?
# keiner schlafe, keiner schlafe
# auch du, Prinzessin, schläfst nicht
# in deinen kalten Räumen
# blickt auf die Sterne, die flimmernd von Liebe
# und Hoffnung träumen
# Doch mein Geheimnis wahrt mein Mund
# den Namen tue ich keinem kund, nein nein
# auf deinen Lippen sag ich ihn
# so wahr die Sonne scheinen wird
# mein Kuss allein soll dieses Schweigen lösen
# durch das du mein wirst
# ja, mein Geheimnis wahrt mein Mund
# den Namen tue ich dir nur kund
are you ready?
let me explain
- come quickly - I must quit now, I've an important meeting
- quickly, he's singing - he's singing quickly, why?
I see, someone's gone crazy, he's singing
I'm coming
are you Director Arvelle?
but who's singing there?
# Denn mein Geheimnis wahrt mein Mund
# den Namen tue ich keinem kund, nein nein
# auf deinen holden Himmelssternen, bleiche
# Himmelssternen, bleiche
# da wird der Tag erstehen
# und mit ihm mein Triumph
The guy must sing at my place!
really?
I'll engage him
let me out, please
Mario!
have you seen my tenor, gentlemen?
he's been lost without a trace
have you seen my tenor?
he too was with them
please follow me
I can't. I'm looking for my tenor
I'll take you to him
that's kind. won't I keep you from your job?
- accompany the gentleman - thank you, sir
- what's the matter? - take him away
but that was very mean of you! I need him back again for our guest performance
one doesn't have a moment's peace to sleep
you're pacing up and down the whole night like a Bengal tiger
one can't have peace even in prison!
careful, you'll break the iron bars
how could I have been so wrong about a person
I've told you a hundred times she's a decent girl
leave me alone!
- I won't! - silence!
you're not alone in here
I beg your pardon
for bothering you again
but it's no use! I've told you last night, our rules are strict
but you could give him the letter
no, prisoners are not allowed to receive visitors or letters till their court hearing
I'm telling you, I'll put my hand in the fire for the girl
and who was the man?
what do I know!
maybe an acquaintance
or a distant brother or so
I buy her a dress, she says she wants to go to bed
then I see her in the casino with a strange man
she kisses him
but this means nothing at all
just imagine ... excuse me
I once read a novel
about a very decent girl
from the best family
and suddenly she became a mother
and later it turned out
it wasn't her child
don't tell me any fairy tales!
don't shout at me!
kids, if you keep on making that noise I'll kick you out
please do, we're only waiting for this
you must help me
with pleasure, Miss, but how?
I must speak to him
that would only be possible if you got yourself arrested too
yes! please do!
- but we'd need a criminal offense for it - what? - a crime
what must I do?
you might insult me a bit
contempt of an officer on duty
but I can't do this
you're so nice to me
you might slap my face
what?
and if you want to speak to him a bit longer, slap me twice
this is out of the question
Constable, the lady just insulted me
may I arrest her?
yessir
you see
thank you
quick, let's go
but your identity first
- what's your name? - Carla
after it has been established that the weapons found on you were only theatrical toys
you're released with a severe reprimand
you owe this to the gentleman's intervention
I thank you, Herr Koch
- Coq - Coq
you're welcome. good-bye
now gentlemen, please accompany me to the theatre, my director wants to engage you
but I'm telling you, Herr Coq, my troupe isn't cheap
we've had colossal success in South America
all the time sold-out houses
calm yourself, my director doesn't want to engage the whole troupe
only your tenor
- only me? - yes
you're to sing Cavaradossi with the famous Parcelli
tell your director I won't do it
we belong together
either everybody or nobody
everybody or nobody
good-bye, Herr Koch
Coq with "q"
no, with "ch"
quick, quick
don't rush me
now you may go in
I've never seen such a case of being anxious to get in
but they aren't in here
tell me, where are the two guys from the casino?
they've just been released
really! that's marvelous!
now hurry up, let me out again!
No Miss, that's out of the question now
why?
- I must stay in here? - yes, four hours
four hours?
for one slap in the face. I got two
makes eight
no, the lady left the hotel this morning and hasn't returned yet
- and she didn't leave a message? - no
I was just to deliver the box and the letter
- is there any mail for me? - yes
Director Arvelle
but she was with Arvelle last night at the casino
and that's why he's allowed me to sing at his place
don't always imagine the worst!
think about the girl with the false baby
how could I learn what's in this letter?
open it
I'd love to
but I've just been released from prison
I must learn what's in this letter
come in
to be delivered to the Director personally
thank you, you may go
you may go
read it out aloud
what was that?
read it out aloud, and be quick about it!
alright, I'll read right now ...
and be quick about it!
yes, only I must ... I don't see too well in here
hallo ... Coq ... please come at once
there's a porter in here who's gone berserk
Coq! Coq!
I must know what's in this letter!
- Coq, come over - Director, I'm ...
- Don't disturb me right now
- but I've come - I see, yes
that man absolutely wants to know what's in this letter
Director, that's the tenor of last night
- what, the guy with the gun? - yes
why don't you read?
I'll read presently, I just have to get out my monocle
get going
- he'll read, he can read much better - but nothing's on it, Director
it's the wrong way round, I see
"Esteemed Director
"Last night, I just wanted to talk to you about the Rosé Opera Troupe
"instead, you were hoping for a little adventure
"and you were greatly disappointed
"Enclosed are your presents which I return with many thanks
"Carla Schmidt
wonderful!
great!
Herr Coq
Coq coq
come in ... no ... I see
is he gone?
yes, we've chased him away
tell me, Coq, who was that porter?
that was the tenor
what, the tenor was the porter?
no, the porter was the tenor
what? the tenor?
porter
that's splendid! Director, if you succeed in that...
we must succeed!
haven't I always pulled you out of a bad spot
kids, we must look for Carla right away, she's vanished without a trace
we have other worries, we'll be singing tonight!
how can I sing if I don't know what's happened to the girl
- come with me - one moment
I'll find her
I'll find her for sure
come with me
hallo. porter
this is Director Rosé speaking
I'll give you 1.000 francs
yes, 500 francs
if you can tell me within 15 minutes where the lady from no. 7 is
yessir
where did you get the money?
but I'll only be paying tomorrow
and tomorrow everything'll go smoothly
because we'll sing tonight
here in Monte Carlo
at Arvelle's?
no, but for his public!
and Tosca!

# Dammi i colori!
# Recondita armonia
# di bellezze diverse! ...
# È bruna Floria, l'ardente amante mia...
# Scherza coi fanti e lascia stare i santi!
# E te, beltade ignota,
# cinta di chiome bionde!
# Tu azzurro hai l'occhio,
# Tosca ha l'occhio nero!
# Scherza coi fanti e lascia stare i santi!
# L'arte nel suo mistero
# le diverse bellezze insiem confonde;
# ma nel ritrar costei
# il mio solo pensiero
# Tosca, il mio solo pensiero sei tu!
# sei tu!
come over here!
say, what's going on outside?
a rival company
but the police must stop this!
they have a license
a license?
then I must ... where's Coq?
Coq, come down at once!
Coq! Coq!
Director, what happened?
connect me to the police at once
is there a fire?
connect me to the police
- one moment - what swinish business!
- hallo, Miss - what a mean trick
and this happens to me! the insolence!
- hallo? - let me speak
hallo? who's speaking?
what is it? what was I going to say?
I don't know
please listen, you see, right in front of the opera building
right before my eyes
right below my window
you can't see from here
may I?
did you get it?
circus clowns against established...
a band of dirty gypsies
please have a look down there
but the gang is giving the same opera as I do
director!
leave me alone, I'm talking to the police
no, you're talking to the air
of course to the air, they're singing in the open air
please listen
# Occhio all'amor soave, all'ira fiero!
# Qual altro al mondo può star di paro
# all'occhio tuo nero!...
# Oh, come la sai bene
# l'arte di farti amare!
# Ma... falle gli occhi neri!...
# - Mia gelosa! # -Sì, lo sento... ti tormento senza posa.
# - Mia gelosa! # - Certa sono - del perdono se tu guardi al mio dolor!
# Mia Tosca idolatrata, ogni cosa in te mi piace;
# l'ira audace e lo spasimo d'amor!
what are you doing!
I'm applauding, Director
have you gone mad? you're applauding?
because I'm voice fanatic
you're a fool! when will the police arrive?
but they only make an entrance in the third act, Director
oh, you're such a ...
Tosca atto terzo
# No! Ma un'ultima grazia io vi richiedo...
# Se posso ...
# Io lascio al mondo una persona cara.
# Se promettete di consegnarle il mio ultimo addio,
# esso è vostro...
# Scrivete...
hey! I found the Miss!
not so loud!
he mustn't know about it yet! he must feel sad now!
make a serious face!
# E lucevan le stelle...
# ed olezzava la terra...
# stridea l'uscio dell'orto...
# e un passo sfiorava la rena...
# Entrava ella, fragrante,
# mi cadea fra le braccia...
# Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze,
# mentr'io fremente
# le belle forme disciogliea dai veli!
# Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d'amore...
# L'ora è fuggita...
# E muoio disperato! E muoio disperato!
# E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!...
# tanto la vita!...
Mario! Mario!
the Director is applauding!
of course
because we'll have a sold-out house by tomorrow
why?
why? but the troupe is singing at our place
I see, I totally forgot
you see! let's put them under contract right away, get going!
Mario! Bravo! Mario!
hallo! you!
the name's Arvelle
I'm the director of the opera in there
Rosé, director of the opera out here
I've thought it over. I'll hire the whole troupe
I'm offering you 50% of the total gross
ridiculous!
60%
out of the question! nothing below 100
but what's left to me then?
the pleasure and the taxes
# I sing my song only for you
# whether you love me, the waltz is asking for me
a sketch from their private life
# I sing my song only for you today
# and this waltz promises, be mine
# all my longings, my heart and my happiness
# fly towards you, with the music
# what my feelings are for you
# my song is telling you
# I sing my song for you alone
# my heart only calls for you alone
The End
