THIS HISTORY IS DEDICATED TO ALL LOVERS

Giorgio, you made me A great honor...

delaying your tour of concerts in the USA.

to sing in My marriage

The honor is mine, friend.

Also took you 42 years achieve it.

Really came to make sure ...

that you won't change your mind at the last moment

YES, GIORGIO

Stop, Frank, stop.

But teacher ... the plane!

It brings bad luck, he doesn't Help while on the tire.

Go back

The Mother Superior must arrive to the airport!

I go to the airport, I'll carry it.

God has sent it.

Maybe.

Is it a Rolls Royce?

Its beautiful.

Is the car yours?

Are you from the Mafia?

No, lyrical singer.

Like Giorgio Fini?

I am Giorgio Fini.

Do you finally believe me?

I knew from the beginning.

But he sang like that a whole concert ...

only for me.

How can I explain this to the council?

I might explain you, Mr. Pollack.

Why do you need a singer in a gym?

Because before each function, to Mr. Fini ...

He likes to exercise. It sets it in tune.

It eliminates the tension, relaxes him

And we want it to be relaxed, right?

Look, Mr. Pollack, you are his agent ...

and you must take care of it.

But this is something exaggerated, isn't it?

No, not really.

It’s important, Mr. Mullane, that we treat it ...

in a very special way.

Let me explain.

Franz Liszt, he said once...

"Every theater is a haven of madmen. "

"Opera is the section of incurable. "

I like that.

Well, it's true.

Giorgio, it's me, Faye Kennedy

Remember? From last year.

Wait for you to see what I did to you this year!

I'll sing tomorrow "Cielo y Mar", just for you!

Sorry dear.

They are waiting for you.

I'm Mullane Counselor, Counselor Mullane.

Did you miss me? - Only your delicacies.

A call to you. Do you want me to answer?

No no no. I will answer.

And then we start. - "La Donna é Mobile".

If you do not mind, Ladies and Gentlemen...

Could we continue in bar 14?

The answer in "no".

And it will always be "no."

Henry, I told you no I want to talk to you again.

Why do they call me?

Because they want come back, that's why.

Do you think what happened 7 years ago it happened?

Well, it didn't happen.

Giorgio Fini will never come back to sing in the "Met".

That place brings me the evil eye.

That's a fool superstition.

It was a bad night When everything went wrong.

You must forget that night And try again.

Never. Never.

Listen carefully.

"La Donna é Mobile".

What happened?

Call a doctor!

This is the doctor Pamela Taylor

He is not a doctor. She is a nurse.

He told me it was from Italy.

But he forgot to tell me that of the Middle Ages.

It is one of the most reputed specialists.

Please let I examined you.

She? Do not!

I will heal myself.

That's the worst thing you can do for your throat.

I would call someone quickly.

No, don't leave please! Please no!

Do not go. He's scared.

It is not the same as always.

I will try to find to another person.

Is there a phone here?

Take care of your voice!

Look, I want to talk to you.

But I do not want that you speak to me

In my first year of agent ...

I discovered a tenor extraordinary...

called Benvenuto Nardino.

You don't know him And there is a reason.

Nardino debuted ...

at the Vienna Opera, with "Rigoletto."

During the first trial ...

his voice failed

Same as you.

I called the best Vienna specialist.

But upon arrival, Nardino refused to see him.

Because he was German.

"Only an Italian will touch Nardino, "he said.

After searching 2 hours, I found an Italian.

We return flying to the theater

But it was too late.

He had lost his voice.

The great Nardino He did not sing again.

Never.

A murdered tenor For your own pride.

The doctor!

Now you will see it. I convinced him. - How wonderful!

Can anyone place that lamp?

I can examine you throat by ear ...

But I guarantee that It will not be very effective.

He is growling better.

Open your mouth And stick out your tongue.

If you breathe through your mouth You will not feel nauseous.

Can I speak with you? Outside?

What's up, doctor? - Nothing.

Does not happen absolutely nothing...

At least, not physically

I think he lost his voice, for what is known as ...

"Hysteria of Conversion." He is psychosomatic ...

and a trauma causes it.

Did something anger you today?

They called him from Met. A disaster happened there ...

7 years ago. He has not overcome it yet.

We will tell you. - Its not that easy.

You must believe that They have helped him.

So I must Give it something and then cure it.

I think a syndrome It wouldn't hurt.

What do you think "Steinmetz syndrome"?

I like.

Now let's get serious.

Mr. Fini, there is only a way to proceed ...

Quickly and honestly.

You have the Steinmetz syndrome.

Luckily, we found it in gestation.

In an hour or 2, I would smell been too late

Can you cure it?

Aren't you afraid of injections, right?

Something lower.

My voice returned.

Maybe I should show The other cheek.

I will sing for you. Come on!

He will no longer need another injection of B-12.

I don't want to die I have Much to live for.

James, you will not die

I will only remove you the tonsils.

But that will kill me.

Why don't you admit it, James ... you are afraid.

Shut up, Levi - There is nothing to fear.

You will sleep all the time.

What if I'm not sleepy? - The injection will give it to you.

You are injected with This big needle.

James! Come back here!

James is afraid of the injection.

A man with fear to a small injection?

It is not the injection. My tonsils will be taken out.

I will take your place.

Doctor, take me out the tonsils, please.

Is he crazy? - No, friend, you are.

Because tomorrow they will give me lots of ice cream ...

And they won't give you anything.

What ice cream? - If you take off ...

the tonsils, they give you How much ice cream you want.

Get out of my bed huge.

If you lie to me I'll break your face

What fun!

Well, walking.

Someone will take care of you in a moment.

That was a quick reaction

I have a lot of experience, two kids.

Doctor I came to thank you The fantastic cure.

Was nothing. - Nothing?

It was my voice.

And why did he leave without hearing me sing?

Did you come to thank me, Mr. Fini ...

or to know why I left without hearing it?

I'm not sure.

At least he is honest. Excuse me...

but I must prepare for tonsillitis

Wait. I want to come tomorrow...

to listen to me, and then We will go to dinner.

Thanks, very kind, but I can not.

And now I must go.

But I insist -I'm sorry, the answer is no".

I am the doctor Stewart Barmen

This is a great emotion.

I will listen tomorrow.

Convince her that You must do the same.

He healed me and he refuses To accept my invitation.

Pamela, is the best world singer.

You must go. - Opera makes me sleepy.

Because he never heard me sing to me

The challenge to that come tomorrow.

If you don't sleep during the concert...

You must have dinner with me.

And I will sing an aria of concert just for you.

For me and 150 thousand more people

No, just for you.

The aria is called "Heaven and Sea."

It's my favorite. - And when I sing ...

"Come my beloved, to receive The kiss of life"...

It will be just for you.

This sings just for me.

An excellent evening You want the "Copley Plaza".

Thank you very much friend. - Have fun.

Mr. Fini, welcome.

Follow me please.

So that did not fall asleep?

He sang exquisitely, Mr. Fini.

Please, Pamela ... Giorgio

Are you who it inspires me...

To sing better than ever.

Giorgio, take a look to this room

It is beautiful, right? - Yes, but ...

all the staff of "Café Plaza" ...

is waiting of what we need.

The musicians only play for us.

And if you haven't noticed ...

we are the only ones We eat throughout the room.

It's good? - It's unusual.

They like it and I don't want to disappoint them

Pamela, what you see here is nothing.

The fabulous singers They are ... gods.

Did you hear the famous 'cousin donna' Malibran?

No, probably too I would have fallen asleep.

Not likely, Maria Congratulations Garcia Malibran ...

it was the best soprano of his time.

They wrote operas just for her.

When you visit a city...

the public takes her on the way to the hotel ...

taking care that your feet Never touch the ground.

And every night, after the show ...

they carry it again since opera ...

fur cover, with A parade of torches.

I would say save the skins and the torches ...

you and Malibran, They are hand in hand.

Look, you talk about Another time and another place.

People do not live like that.

So. Exceeding the proportions

Pamel, are you a communist? - Of course not.

Did you dream of being princess ever?

Well, I had no need.

I was born in a family very happy and loving

I went to the best schools

And now I do what I always wanted to do.

I'm doctor, like my father.

So, maybe It was a princess.

But it was something real, Not a dream

I had only one dream.

If it had not been fulfilled, it would still be mechanical ...

with my father, in Italy.

But I carry the kiss of God in my throat.

As well as God Your soul has kissed you ...

to make you The best doctor.

Do not laugh at me.

You know, things don't they always have to ...

the biggest ones, the best.

Why not? Why do you shrink everything?

It is not small. But life size.

It seems that things You are doing very well.

And I suggest you continue So until dessert.

And this comes with dessert, right?

It's obvious that I don't You listen, not me to you.

I will not apologize for being the way I am

It hurts for you, for me...

So it didn't happen. And, Pamela ...

life doesn't have to be life size

Take the doctor home please.

It is not necessary.

And they must have an answer before tomorrow.

And you want I ask you to.

It is very easy reject me.

I am nothing but an affair, remember?

Are you kidding me You are so much more than an "affair".

I would put you between a Romance and a commitment.

If you don't act again in the Met ...

Never never It will be complete.

It is on the summit now. Sings better...

Of what I've never heard. Full of life.

And full of you.

No, Henry, I can't.

That was my first singing teacher

He said to continue as a mechanic

Then he asked me That will repair your car.

I better go. Good luck, Giorgio.

No, never say that but, "in bocca el lupo".

It means, "in the mouth of the wolf".

If you expect a disaster, You may be lucky.

Friends tonight Fini cuisine.

Come all to dinner.

We need more cheese. You have to grate it now.

Quick, Pamela.

We died of hunger here.

Henry, this is a science

Giorgio, I wasn't going to do it, But I changed my mind

I want to talk to you. - But, the pasta.

They called from Met. They want you to go to N. And ...

to inaugurate the season with "Turandot" ...

because the tenor They left, and they love you.

And Henry says you must Do it, and me too.

We were going to be together, but This is more important.

And it won't happen again the same.

If you don't do it, what You will regret forever.

And I have nothing else what to say.

Giorgio Fini will not return to sing in the Met!

You look like another! You act like a coward.

I am not a coward. This site has an evil eye.

You do not even know what happened.

Well tell me.

They gave "La Gioconda".

It all started well.

Then, in the third act, it happened

They just showed me The body of my beloved.

Saying that they had poisoned

I get furious and I unsheathe the sword.

And it doesn't come out.

Finally, I drew it.

And in my hand, I only have the hilt

The blade flew on stage ...

and hurt Laura ...

who jumped from his bed of death ...

Screaming: "I will kill you, Fini!"

He took the duke's blade and it pounced on me.

He forced me to throw myself back back...

until I reached the balcony and I lost foot ...

and fell over the railing to the Grand Canal.

Finally, I left the Channel.

The opera returned to start. I tried to sing.

I ran out of voice.

The public laughs at me.

Can you imagine someone laugh at me?

It is funny?

Maybe you believe it funny too.

The salad needs something.

Parmesan.

Perfect.

A ham is not Complete without eggs.

You know you can't say always "no".

Soon they won't ask for more.

I do not care! - You should care.

You are 44 years old, you know. - Forty two!

Giorgio cooks better with noise

They humiliated me in the Met.

They laughed at me ...

And I lost my voice

Same as in Boston.

Exactly! And in Boston, You had nothing.

It is not true!

You cured me of the Syndrome from Steinmetz.

There is no such thing as Steinmetz syndrome.

I healed your head not the throat

Do not. - Yes, Giorgio.

You were afraid.

And fear made you lose The voice, that's all.

There is nothing to fear from Met.

And if you don't come back now, You will never do it...

and you will never be A complete singer

Pamela, Will you come with me

Of course.

Then I will go.

Are they well in there?

Remember to wear Old country clothes.

And remember the stairs Of the rocks.

And don't lose your foot in them.

Now, when Leona enters, It has a long tail.

And Leona, dear ...

And you must think. Now, stop there.

And raise your arms ... like that.

"I will conquer. I will conquer. "

And I will, Pamela. I will do it!

Yes, yes, operator ... Carla Fini Quick.

Giorgio Fini returns to the Met, after 7 years

Tell him who convinced you.

Then you will listen to me!

Whether you admit it or not, the only reason ...

Worse than 7 years ago.

Hears. There's still time.

Just inaugurated tomorrow night.

No, you will have to search to another person.

Clear. Not well know something.

Well that's better.

Why that silly look?

Not dumb It is lascivious.
