Transcript

I would like to take it to the opera where you are going to hear a Mozart opera, which is nothing but an opera written by Mozart. This is an opera in one act and it begins when the curtain rises, otherwise you couldn't see a thing.

The stage setting is a kind of a forest. There are two large trees, which of course indicates the forest. It's a kind of a small forest, but it's a forest. First, the tenor comes in, he is supposed to meet his soprano, as they usually call those ladies.

But she is a little late this particular season, so he hides himself behind one of the trees in order to surprise her when she comes in a little later, which she does. When she arrives, she can't find him because he is occupied behind one of the trees.

I is with a knife carving her name into the scenery. She doesn't know that he is there, but what as a matter of fact she must know it because she saw it doing rehearsals. Either she pretends or she doesn't know it or she is just plain stupid.

Or whatever it is she gets across the stage somehow and takes place behind the other tree, which for the occasion hides her to a certain extent. Now the chorus comes in but nobody knows why except Mozart and he is dead.

And that's just too bad. Next, your father comes in and he is a very old man primarily because she is a very old soprano. And he is very angry because apparently she is not his daughter.

Now this has nothing to do with the opera, I found that out myself. That's what we call research. Anyway, he decides that he has had enough of her, so he tells her to die, and that's exactly what she's going to do.
