Aloysia mentioned it
eight or nine times, yes.

He's actually summoned me
to go meet with him.

What does he want?
No, Anton, that's sharp now!

a few weeks ago.

Erm, he'd been at Raimund's Mass.
Right...

to stop thinking about it.

about doing it again.

up front, of course.Naturally.

the school and the performance.

Yes.

The Marriage Of Figaro, Your
Majesty. You banned it yourself.

I've no memory of it.
What's it about?

Mozart.

Da Ponte.

I don't recall banning this play.
