Good evening.
Thank you.

Here, in row six. Those two chairs.

Good evening.

Good evening, may I
your tickets? Thank you.

Excuse me, a mistake has been made.

Here we are, look.

Do notice. The wrong place.
- Sorry.

Come.

No, I want to stay.

Are you crazy?
- I have to see it.

What is so special about Mengelen?
- Mengelberg.

I say so.

Come with me.

This is the men's room.

I...

I'm running after it.

What are you following?

The hygiene.

Men's toilets get dirty faster.
We check that extra.

And are you ready with that?

Everything is clean, sir.

You miss the concert.
- I've seen it more often.

You forget something.

Do you not have to intervene?

She has to leave.
- What? Who?

Does she work for you?

Do not push, I can walk myself.

They had to lock you up.

Can I apologize?
- To who? The hall?

To Maestro Mengelberg.
- Stay away from him.

A great musician
treat you with respect.

You are fired.
- You're not my boss.

THE CONDUCTOR

BASED ON A TRUE STORY

Rough day?

- It was okay.
- Willy...

Your wages.

I get paid next week.

- Ridiculous.
- They had a party.

Can you cut the onions?

I'm making soup.

You know they make her cry.

A few tears won't kill her.

Let's go. Mom feels
a migraine coming on.

Mr. Goldsmith?

Sir?

My parents and I visit
your lunch concerts for years.

Fixed because they are free.

The trombone played at the end
a wrong note ...

... just before the repeat
of the trio.

They played an E,
but it must be an Es.

Wait.

Well noticed. Do you know
the trombone part by heart?

Not just that party. Every note.

You still give piano lessons
at the conservatory?

Right.
- That's what I want to go.

Success with it.
- Can I come and play for a time?

I do not like to waste my time.
- Me neither.

Tomorrow afternoon, at four o'clock.

I have an appointment
with Mr. Goldsmith.

Come on in.

Can I get coffee?

Quiet. I try to work.

The coffee must be ground.
- She can do that.

You can enter
if there is coffee.

You heard it.

Do not run.

This household is
a complete chaos.

Do not mind him, he hears
at the furniture.

Frank, this is ...
What's your name?

Willy Wolters.

Let us not waste time.

Play.

Just stop.

Magnificent.
- Do you think?

This wing.

I practice on a piano with
lapping against the strings.

Why would you do that?

Otherwise the neighbors will complain.

It's an old thing. My father
found it with the garbage.

Garbage?
- My father is a garbage man.

Who taught you?
- An acquaintance of my mother.

What do you know about Bach?

I play his nuts, sir.

You can only do that if you have him
you have studied.

Do you know the biggest
Bach expert in the world?

Of course not.

Albert Schweitzer.

He studied Bach
as never before.

Unfortunately, he chose doctor
to be in the jungle.

What confirms that genius
borders with distractions.

Do you find him disturbed?

Yes, he abuses his talent
by not using it.

Maybe he has more talent
to be a doctor.

Why are you playing like that?
- What do you mean?

So without feeling.

I have learned that no one
my feeling is waiting.

Do you have to interpret music?

Interpretations can
are wrong, nuts are not.

That is science.
- Bach composed mathematically.

But spoke the language of God.
- Well ...

Nobody knows what God is
meant, right?

Your technique is terrible.

Your pedal use does not obscure that.

Forget about the conservatory.

They never allow you.
- Can you teach me?

I will study hard.
Everything to get better.

Can I give you advice?

Get married, get children.

Like your wife?

Yes.

I hope the coffee has tasted.

Peculiar woman.

Pretty attractive.

Wait.

Wait. I can prepare you
for admission.

I would be crazy, right?

Three lessons a week,
two dollars per hour?

Well?

What do you think?

TYPISED WANTED

You get ten minutes.

You. Too slow, nails too long.

Too many mistakes. And you...

Fast fingers, short nails,
no mistakes.

You can start tomorrow.
- Really? Thank you.

I'm coming for that job
from wardrobe lady.

That is already gone.

You did not get it.
- Why not?

We work here for the tips.
Therefore.

Turned down?
- Five times today.

You just have to stand out in this profession.

I have a big problem
if I do not like it.

I would like to help you, but
we do not need anyone.

Except a pianist.

You play too stiff. Slide up.

Let yourself go.

Why are you looking for a pianist?
if you can do it yourself?

Because I prefer to play bass.

Robin?

Do you have a cigarette?

Does it bother you? People come
especially for her.

Him.

You have to see it like this:

We are all born naked.

The rest is only a disguise.

And now our fantastic
female impersonator:

The famous Miss Denise.

Thank you.

What do we have here?

A na-monkey star behind the piano.

Are you trying to impress me?
Or...

... are you a real woman?

Tricky to say, do not you think?

Someone is sticking out his neck for you.

Because we all see
that this is a male band.

Say, what's your name?

Willy.

So because you do not have a willy,
your parents called you but Willy.

Let's see what she can.

You can join this weekend.

That is too heavy for my wife.

My audition is next week.

It is an interesting environment.

There will be a lot
leading musicians.

Where are you going this early?

- To work.
- Carrying a suitcase?

I won't be home tonight.
I'm staying over at Marjorie's.

- Who?
- You know, from work.

You look nice.

Thank you.

Hello, Mark. We were just
called by your wife.

The delivery has begun.

Then I can not stay.
- Our driver will take you back.

I'm coming.
- No, stay.

You are here now.

Who am I satisfied with?

This is Willy Wolters,
a student of mine.

Nice to meet you,
Mrs...

Thomsen. And this is Mr. Thomsen.
- Hello, Willy.

The servant takes you to
your room. Then you can...

Refresh yourself.

Where are you going?

The other way.

The staircase is here.

What are you doing here?

Same as you, I think.

This is the house of my parents.
I grew up here.

I am the guest of Mr. Goldsmith.

He did not say anything.

I am not responsible
for what he tells you.

If you do not impose yourself
to the musicians.

That's the last thing I would do.

We know what you are capable of.

Now it is clear
that you are a gentleman ...

... can you behave like that?

Can someone take me to
to bring the station?

The table is already covered.

Nobody will miss me.

But I do.

You are my table guest.
So change quickly.

We've been waiting for you.

Excuse me...

You are familiar.
Have we met before?

Her name is Willy.

Can you tell us something about yourself?

There is not much to tell.

Did not you sit in front
at my concert?

Yes that was me.

You?

Forget it.

I assume you did not have money
for the first row?

The staff is not allowed
sitting in the room.

Do you work there?

Not anymore.

I'm out of there.

I hear a vague accent.
Where are you from?

From Holland, sir.

A compatriot.
Frank, you always say:

'All good comes from the Netherlands.'

Why did you read the score?

Is it a secret?

Well?

I want to become a conductor.

What did she say?

She wants to be a conductor.

I know the music world well ...

... but I never got it
female conductor heard.

Have you ever met one?

To my best knowledge, they are not there.

Women do not have to
to do for men.

Maybe she's right.

My wife was for our marriage
a skillful singer.

Yes, but conductor ...

You will never succeed?

America is the country
of the possibilities.

Not for everyone.

Do you admire the stars in the sky?

No, only the flowers
on my feet.

Thank you for not saying that I ...

Well, you know.

It's okay.

Have you found new work?

Yes.

True?

Something in music.

Yes but where?

Being laughter once
is enough.

Sorry.

That was rude.

Shall we Dance?

Home already?

Yes.

How was work?

- Good.
- What did they play?

Beethoven's 5th.
What we call 'Fate'.

Fate?

It was Tchaikovsky.
That pathetic piece.

I forgot.

That you got fired?

- How do you know?
- Easy.

I dropped by your work.

And...

What's this?

- How did you get this, with no job?
- You searched my room?

Every day, you pretend to go to work.
You're home late.

- What do you do all that time?
- I work.

- Where?
- I can't say.

- I have to know.
- But I won't tell you.

- How long is this going on?
- What?

Entrance exam, for the conservatory?

Mom, can we discuss this later?
I'm tired.

You lied all this time?

- I don't lie.
- You do.

About getting fired, studies, work.

I'm an adult, mom.
I need to live my own life.

Without us you wouldn't have a life.

I've added it all up.

What you eat, drink and wear.
Every piano lesson.

Here...

That's what I spent on you.

And what do I get in return?
Nothing but lies.

So I'm keeping this money.
To compensate for our costs.

- Forget about that conservatory.
- Mom...

Don't call me mom.
I'm not you mother.

What?

Mom?

Is it true?

I'm sorry, Willy.

We couldn't have children.
Then we saw this.

'Child for adoption. Young mother
wishes to give up daughter.'

'The best bid
will be accepted.'

I'm simply being offered for sale.

- How old was I?
- Two.

Why didn't she want me?

I'm afraid she didn't love you.

- And my father?
- We know nothing about him.

Your mother wasn't married.

Didn't she have any family?

They disowned her.

This is your birth certificate.

Agnes. My name is Agnes?

No, that's your mother's name.
Your name is Antonia.

Antonia Brico.

I'll go comfort her.

Tell her a few tears won't kill her.

Keep quiet.

Stop that.

Stop.

Mom wants you to stop.

Silence.

Mr. Goldsmith is inside.
- How did it go?

I've been hired.
- Congratulations.

Do you want a lift? Where are you going?

Home, by bus.
- It's only a lift.

Its not far.
- You're so away from me again.

We did not say goodbye,
and as you said:

I must behave like a gentleman.

Someone is moving.

Here it is.

Your parents will be proud.

I'm going away for a few weeks.
Prepare a tour.

When I'm back...

... can I see you again?

You know where to find me now.

- Where's my piano?
- In the stove, so I can cook.

- Onion soup.
- You're insane.

Can I sleep here tonight?

That piano gave me comfort.
Without that thing ...

... I had gone crazy.

We all have that.
- You too?

Even I.

Do not despair.

Just dust yourself
and start again.

What does a man know about dusting?

More than you, Scrubby Dutch.

I'll show you the house.

This is my bedroom.

Nobody has something to look for here,
so I keep it closed.

I have my own bathroom,
but you can use it.

And here you sleep.

How can I thank you?
I will pay for it.

We'll see that later.

Robin ...

Is concealment the same as lying?

Are you waiting for me?

We fall for another band.

True?
- Here.

What?

No, my classmates will see me soon.

They are probably not there. It is
a party for lenders.

Willy?

How are you?

Could not be better.

Are you also invited?

Hello, Mrs. Thomsen.

Willy, this is Emma.

We have known Emma for years,
through her parents.

We hope she and Frank
to get engaged.

We do not know anything about that.

I'm going already.
- Of course, you are right.

Really good to see you.

Come in.

I was looking for Robin.

Who is Robin?

A friend?

Something like that.

First greet my father,
otherwise his heart breaks.

How are you?
- Good.

We just said that musical talent
sometimes reveal itself early.

Does that also apply to you?
- I was five.

I walked past a church,
and heard the organ.

The Rothchilds are there.
Something interesting.

I had never heard anything like that.
I did not come into the church.

People even listened in the street.

Do you know how much
they donated?

I slipped and climbed the stairs.
There was the organist.

No idea who it was, but ...

... I was enchanted, I kept looking.

More than five thousand dollars.

Only later did I hear that
Albert Schweitzer was.

From that moment on
I begged for a piano.

Schweitzer is never
been in the US.

We lived in the Netherlands.
He played Bach.

Are your parents musical?

No. They are not my real parents.
I have been adopted.

Have your own parents died?
- No.

Nothing is known about my father,
and my mother sold me.

My foster parents bought me.
I mean, adopted me.

I have to find out
what they have paid.

So you're actually different?
- Yes.

How?
- That does not matter.

It has happened to me.
I was two.

Interesting enough for you?

I thought so.

I made it all up.

I have to go.

Did you have to embarrass her like that?
- Excuse me?

Why so light-hearted?
- She pretends I'm not there.

I do not understand you.

Then find better company.

Did you have a fight?
- I was looking for the podium.

Do you know who that is?
- Yes, his name is Frank.

Frank Thomsen, one of the
greatest concert managers.

As long as he leaves me alone.

Ready.

Are you afraid of me?
- Oh no, sir.

It is as if I have known you for years.

I feel that you are me
very much admired.

Is not that right, Willy?

I admire you because I am
want to be the same as you.

What? Teacher?
- No, conductor.

You say that only because you
are in love with me.

I say it because I want to be conductor.

That is impossible.

Women do not become a conductor.

They can not.
- Why not?

They can not lead.

But you can teach me.

A woman with a stick, that wild
is gesturing for men?

Very unattractive.
- Who cares?

I.

I want you to look beautiful.

Is it about power?
- Power? No.

I just want to lose myself in music.

And I want to lose myself in you.

Just remember ...

... that women are under.
They come far enough with that.

Please. Stop.

You broke it.

Get out.

He claims that you are him, I quote:

"Hysterical attack when I
criticized her piano playing. "

Hysterical?
- That's here.

So it is his word
against mine?

That's what it comes down to.
There are no witnesses.

He withdraws the charge
if you leave the training.

Where should I sign?

What is your name, honey?

Willy ...
- Brico.

Antonia Brico.

BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Please.

With a new life
hear new music.

Willy Wolters?
- One floor higher.

Mrs Wolters?

I'm looking for Willy.
- He does not live here anymore.

Where is she? I can not find her.

If you can not find her,
she does not want to be found.

Come on, Robin. Do not be a push,
defend yourself.

Breaker.

Did you know that Robin ever
had an accident?

No, I did not know that.

He has had a bad back since then.
He is wearing a corset.

Like me.

Never seen?

I forgot how mysterious
you do that.

AMERICAN AMBASSADE
THE HAGUE

Robin?

What are you doing here?

A letter from the embassy.

Bad news?

They found her.
- You wanted that?

She is dead.

Now I can only
visit her grave.

Does it hurt?

Every day.

Do you know how long I've been looking for?

You disappeared without notice.
And now you are fleeing again.

We go in the break
to the dressing room.

You can not just people
on the side.

Why do not you go to school?
- Ask Goldsmith.

I have done that.
- And what did he say?

I finally found you.
That's what it's about.

How are you?

It's okay. I am going to travel soon.

Where to?
- To the Netherlands.

When?
- About a week.

You can not go.
- Why not?

Because I can not miss you.

Antonia, we are going to start.
- I'm coming.

Antonia?
- That's my name.

So that adoption story is true?
- Yes, Frank.

I'm a bastard.

Stop.
- Why are you doing this?

Antonia ...

I do not want to say goodbye.

I want to be with you.

I want that too.

Forget about that journey and stay.

CONCERT HALL

PIANO TUNER WANTED

Dear Frank.

I'm staying in a lovely hotel ...

... in a room with a beautiful view.

Do not be afraid, you hit me
do not lose to the music.

I can not listen to music,
and I can not afford a concert.

I do not mind.

Now I have you.

I love Amsterdam.

I examine every street and every alley.

What am I looking for?

I do not know.

I do not know anyone here.

In the meantime I gather courage for more
to find out about my family.

Who is this lady?

You know her, Willy.

Does she now have an artist name?

Mr. Mengelberg?

Antonia Brico.

Do you recognize me?

- How could I possibly forget you?
- I was hoping you'd say that.

I'd like to ask you a favor.

Can you give me conducting lessons?

Conducting lessons?

I understand you're busy.
But I don't know where to start.

I figured, you know Frank Thomsen...

...and me being his friend,
I was hoping...

Can I think about it?

Yes, of course.

A telegram, sir.

MISS BRICO ASKS
TO EXECUTIVE LESSONS

WHAT SHOULD I DO?
WILLEM MENGELBERG

Make sure this is sent quickly.

SEND HER TO HOME

HERE RESTS AGNES BRICO

Who takes such good care of it?

Sister Louigiana,
your mother's sister.

Is she here? Can I talk to her?

You can't. She took a vow of silence.

- Sure, but can I see her?
- No.

Can I talk to your boss?

- Mother superior?
- Yes, that's who I meant.

Ten minutes, in absolute silence.

- Agnes.
- Dear God, forgive her.

I'm her daughter. Antonia.

Where were you?

In America.

You were untraceable.

Did she try to find me?

Do you know how my parents met?

I respect your vow of silence,
but you've already broken it.

Why did she get rid of me?
That's what I'd like to know.

Perhaps you can ask God
if someone can answer my questions.

Keeping quiet is the same as lying.

She never wanted to give you up.

Do you know what she said,
just before she died?

'For God's sake, find Antonia'

- Why are you here?
- Did you give it some thought?

Go home.

- I have no home.
- To America.

You don't understand.
I can't give up.

I'd rather die trying
than not try at all.

And if you fail?

Then I'll go home.

Meet me at my office tomorrow.

BERLIN

My name is Antonia.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Antonia.

What do you want?

My name is Antonia Brico.
Nice to meet you.

I'm coming for Mr. Muck.
- Where are you from?

I am from america.
- Mr. Muck is not home.

Moreover, he is not too
disturb for twelve hours.

Else?

What is this?

And who are you?
- She's from the US.

I am not at home for Americans.

I am Dutch. Still.
I am never national.

I have a letter of recommendation.

From Maestro Mengelberg.

A letter of recommendation.

What must that bastard do?

If he calls this a recommendation,
I eat my cigarette.

I want to be a conductor.

I have a prejudice about women.

Is he a friend of yours?
- Who?

Albert Schweitzer.

We have a few things in common.

He was in the Great War
caught in France.

He had done nothing,
but he was German.

You condemn me,
not because I'm doing something wrong ...

... but because I am American ...

... or Dutchman, or woman,
Whether young, or non-smoker.

I call that short-sighted.
- Then just short-sighted.

In his book about Bach ...

... he writes that artists
await their big day ...

... and exhausting up to that time.

That's about me.

Are you already attacking?

Not yet.

Schweitzer gave up the music
for another life.

I am so crazy about my life
to give up for music.

With or without your help ...

... I will be a conductor.

So...

You want to exhaust yourself, you say?

Dear Robin.

After some wanderings
I have now arrived in Berlin.

I get lessons from Karl Muck.

Of course that does not mean anything to you,
but he is great.

I finally learn what it's about.

Unlike Mengelberg
Muck gives me a fair chance.

He helped me with my permission
at the Rijksacademie voor Muziek.

I have to make it happen here.

They take responsibility for the management
only two candidates.

And they have never
a woman adopted.

Hello, Frank. How are you?

Have you heard from Antonia yet?
- Does not she write you?

No ... Not for a while.

Any idea when she comes back?

She wrote from Berlin.
- Berlin?

She wants to follow Board
at the Rijksacademie.

How long does that study last?
- Two years.

Two years? Where does she get
the money?

Is that the first thing you think about?

They never let her.

You underestimate her.

She has already been accepted.

On Dutch courage.

One woman against a hundred men.

What are you going to do so that they follow you?

Are you going for the soft approach,
or the hard?

And another thing, Brico ...

If you sweat, you can not.

The crescendo goes from
pianissimo to forte ...

... and you only do mezzoforte.
It was not right either.

Right. You have to be a conductor-tyrant
are, not a democrat.

Can we talk somewhere?

The soup of the day.

Onion soup.

And the schnitzel. Enjoy your meal.

I am proud that you have been accepted.

Is that right?

You should have written that to me.

I have a letter of recommendation
from Mengelberg.

He's hanging over my bed.

He is addressed to Muck,
who hates America and women.

Do you know what he wrote?

AI good comes from the Netherlands.

Except for me.

I quickly understood who was behind it.

I was hoping you would come back.

Still, actually.

I love you.

You think so.
- How do you know what I feel?

I am not suitable.
Look at your parents ...

... and then to mine.

I do not care.
I want you.

I want to get married, have children.

You can find someone.

Are you saying that you do not love me?

Does it taste?

Yes delicious.

I thought you did not like onions.

I need to know, so I want to
like to hear yes or no.

If you say yes, I will wait for you.

Will you marry me?

May I think about it?

You know what to choose?

What hurts the least.

You're going to say no.

This world will never let you go.

Mengelberg's wife was
a fantastic singer.

What does that matter?

She no longer sings.

Miss Brico.

Always the first.

Miss Brico,
always the last.

'The biggest challenge in art
is dealing with disappointment. '

FROM MY CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH
ALBERT SCHWEITZER

BANK OF GERMANY

You can say that it comes from the US,
but not who the giver is?

Like I said,
I can not say that.

It must be from Frank Thomsen.
Or his father, Mr. Thomsen?

It comes from a woman
that supports the arts.

A woman who supports the arts?

BERLIN

Here, the first woman who does it
Berlin Philharmonic conducts.

You should have been that,
no Viennese aunt.

That aunt wants the same as me.

The orchestra does not have one
trust in her.

Her husband had five thousand D marks
advance, for orchestra and hall.

So if nobody comes,
is he sitting with the noose?

Watch my words:
that is your foreland.

Well, do you want to go there?

Here, I can give them away.

They do not want an empty room.

No...

Dear Frank, I have heard
that you are engaged.

I should never have rejected you,
and I beg you:

Give me a chance, and not be loyal.

Worthless.

From the podium.

She is being slaughtered.
- They just want their money back.

Was she so bad?

Mediocre at best.

They want their money back because they are
lured with a fake ad:

'Rich widow seeks husband'.

Made by Frau Mayer.

You are next.

Do you still dare?

What the hell are you doing?

I have to make a dress for you.

Do not you see that I'm at work?

Have you seen it?

WOMAN UNSUITABLE
TO LEAD ORCHESTRA

People want to see you fail.

But the good news is:
the concert is completely sold out.

My dearest Frank,
I do not know what inspired me.

I love you and I miss you.

After my education I come to America.

Why do not you write back?

Herr Muck, Miss Brico is not here.

Wait, sir.
- Where is her room?

What now?

Are you a little child?

Ready for mothers
skirts to crawl?

Which mother?
- You tell me.

Well, are you coming? They are waiting for you.
- Nobody is waiting for me.

This is your big day.
- To be booed?

Or hailed.

I only see an abyss.

It's always there,
even if you are successful.

The higher you rise,
the deeper you fall.

So do I collapse anyway?

That's part of the game. You should
playing it alone.

You have easy talk.
You are not called Mayer or Brico.

You are a hero.

At my last concert in America
the police got me off the podium ...

... under loud boos from the public.
- Why?

I refused it American
anthem.

I said: I am German,
it is not my national anthem.

Then they have me
a year and a half locked up.

Only because it was war,
I was the enemy.

Just like Albert Schweitzer.

Was I a hero then?

Nobody thought that.

Only myself.

Sometimes that's enough.

You sweat.

Not anymore.

YANKEE GIRL STARS
BERLIN CRITICIA

MISS BRICO TRIOMFEERT
IN BERLIN

AMERICAN WOMAN LEADS
BERLIN ORKEST

ANTONIA BRICO TRIOMFEERT IN
BALTIC STATES, BERLIN AND LONDON

Do you remember her?

Antonia Brico? Never met.

She used to work for you
as an ouvreuse. Willy Wolters.

Is she that?

She has caused a furore in Europe.

Would it be her here?
to conduct?

I visited my mother's grave.

I guess you didn't know she died.

From heartache over losing me.

She was only 29.

Who told you that?

Her sister, who takes care
of her grave.

She had seven siblings.
My mother was the oldest.

So there's more family?

I'm sure you know what
'to be disowned' means.

She met a man.
A musician.

My mother was madly in love with him.

They spent one night together.
Then he got tired of her.

Love ruined her.

Selfish women are condemned.

Wasn't it selfish to abduct me
to America?

- That mother of yours sued us.
- Because she wanted me back.

That purchase was meant
to be temporary.

On the day of the trial
she waited in the courtroom.

Hours passed, but you didn't show up.

She searched for months,
but she couldn't find me.

I had simply disappeared.

What happened to your mother?

She locked herself up in a convent.

Where she wasted away.

Do you still think she didn't love me?

Are you ready? Your parents are there.
- I'll be right.

Give me the music editor
from the New York Times.

You get one concert, but you have to
buy half of the cards.

How much does that cost?

Pay it Forward.

Do you ask all conductors?

Only large ones occur here
names. So you do not.

I did well in Europe.
- If you call six concerts well.

I take a huge risk.

I can not afford that.
- Then my offer expires.

Are you going back to Europe now?

If I succeed, I'll get it
more concerts?

Are you going to set requirements now?
- Please.

More concerts are very
important to me. Please?

Are you begging now?

There she is.

Can I have your reaction? Is it right?
that you are going to conduct here?

Yes that's right.

And if people want to buy tickets,
they can contact me.

This is what I missed most.

I have been in such a past year
dirty cellars played.

Incognito, of course.
As Willy Wolters.

I survived there,
by what I have learned here.

Always happy to help.

Are you serious?

Stop.

The trombones start too early.

Now the bassoons are a little too early.

If you are absolutely on it
to bet unequally ...

... then the trombones first.

Four cards?

Mr Barnes ...

Ticket sales are running storm.
I'll be sold out in an hour.

Can I still get a concert?

What now?

Did you have something to say?
- The concert is tomorrow.

I do not have to stop, if you
does what I say. Once again.

Are not you playing?

Not for a woman who
does not know its place.

I know my place very well.
That is here.

Again.

I have taken your instrument.
How does that feel?

Careful, that's a Stradivarius.
- Oh, a Stradivarius?

So you care about this instrument?

Then we are right.
- How so?

This orchestra is my instrument.

I can do without orchestra members
Do not play my instrument.

Do you know what a soloist says?
if he does not practice one day?

'Do not practice one day,
I only hear.

Do not practice two days,
hears the orchestra.

Three days, that's what the audience belongs to. "

Do not you think this is
for conducting?

Do you know how many concerts?
to be on my agenda?

A.

Then there is a big emptiness.

Do you know how much my male
to give colleagues there?

Four, sometimes five per month.
Throughout the year.

Is that fair?

No.

As if you throw a bread crust
to someone who is starving.

Applaud, my friend.
The performance is over.

You can not just walk away.

We have an appointment.

My instrument.
Please, take it.

Without his player
the instrument is worth nothing.

Does this mean you'll come tomorrow?

No.

I wait until I hear from you.

Do you want to do the concert tomorrow?

Sorry, I do not understand you.

Please.

Please what?

Miss Brico, you want tomorrow
please do the concert?

Mr. Barnes, are you begging now?

Yes.
- And my condition?

You will receive a second concert.

Do you want to go to Antonia Brico's concert?
I can get tickets.

Are not you curious about her?

No, I do not have to see her.

If I close my eyes ...

... I do not hear that
to conduct a woman.

Unemployed musicians?

Do I have to direct the unemployed?
Does he want me to get rid of me?

The government wants to train them
keep for better times.

We still got great press?

That is exactly what Barnes is bothering.

You get too much attention.
- That is good, right?

You feel sewn.
But be happy:

You get money and you are allowed to conduct.

What's the point,
if no one hears it?

I do not do it.

Am I too early?

Where are all gentlemen?

The New Jersey Symphony
holds audition.

What are you doing here?
- They only search for men.

Only the men, right?

Robin, you always say:

"To make it into
this course, do you have to stand out? '

That is exactly what I am going to do.

'Wanted. Conductor Antonia Brico
is looking for female musicians ...

... for a women's orchestra.

There are vacancies for this
all instruments. "

Let's see.

"According to Mark Goldsmith,
a celebrated conductor and pianist ...

... a woman never becomes
a prominent conductor.

Miss Brico can be happy
with a place in the margin ...

... before she falls into oblivion. "

AUDITION

FEMALE MUSICI INFERIOR

Who has read this article?

Thank you for coming anyway.

None of you was 'inferior'.

Good, ladies. This way.

Can the bass player stay?

Can I speak to her alone?

What's your name?

Roberta.

Jones.

Roberta Jones.

Robin ...

Are not you dressed up as a woman?

With your wig, fake breasts and make-up,
like Miss Denise?

Is this a statement from you?
To support me?

I am not dressed as a woman.

What?

This one...

... are real.

Why did not I see that before?

Because I can hide things well.

You never had an accident?

Only the accident as a woman
to be born.

Did you want to be a man?

I wanted to be a musician.

When I go on a stage,
I come home.

Just like you.

That's why I've supported you,
when you were in Berlin.

Was that money coming from you?

From a woman who supports the arts.

Then I must thank you.

I'm sorry, I had no idea.

About that...

About anything, actually.

The price can be too high, Antonia ...

... but at least we do it.

At least we do.

I think I'd rather stay who I was.

Who are you then?

I am myself.

Did Miss Brico have anything to say?

She said, "Music does not matter
discrimination in sex. '

MUSIC DOES NOT KNOW SEX

Town Hall is available.
- Good grace, Town Hall?

Too many chairs.
How do you get it full?

I thought of advertisements in the newspaper,
and invite the higher circles.

I do not know those people, do you?

Yes, but you have
also their addresses?

Mr. Goldsmith, what do you think?
from Antonia's plan?

Where shall I begin?

She went conducting because she
had no piano talent.

A calculated choice.

She just wants to be famous
to become. She has no passion.

Why does Mr. Goldsmith say that?
Does he feel threatened by me?

There are still many unemployed musicians?

Miss Brico has also been unemployed for years.
That is not for nothing.

We are in the midst of a major crisis.

We do not have enough work,
not too little talent.

It is abnormal.

What? Women?

It is against all tradition.

We serve the music,
not the dusty clichés.

Women imagine so much.
Think they can do everything.

Your own fault if they fail. Women
do not play trombone or horn.

Just write:

Miss Brico will never be a female
timpanist.

Willy Wolters ...

If you want to stand in front of you,
go ahead.

But a whole orchestra of it
women go too far.

Let me guess, you support Goldsmith.
- Of course.

I want to prevent you
make a spectacle of yourself.

People love spectacle.
I like that to my audience.

You invite my whole circle of friends ...

... and I will do everything
to make sure they do not go.

Do what you want, but
let me do that too.

Have a nice day.

What does our advertisement do here?
In the auto section?

Who looks at that?
What a waste of money.

I think Mrs Thomsen
contacts with the newspaper.

Are there reservations already?

Is that all?

So we play for an empty room?

We have to cancel Town Hall.

I tried, but we did
have to pay anyway.

Pay? By which?
What a disaster.

Let's just continue.

How do we pay our musicians?
- They want to play for free.

For nothing?
- Not everyone is against us.

Good.

Then we give them
at least an audience.

We make the concert free,
and pay Town Hall later.

No more costs,
only free publicity.

A letter.

From the first lady.
- What?

"To Miss Brico,
from Eleanor Roosevelt. "

Do you know if it takes a long time?
- Just a second.

I have to go to the radio,
I have been waiting for half an hour.

No one says Mrs. Roosevelt
to shoot.

Hey.
- Mr. Goldsmith.

Miss Brico, it was nice
to meet you.

The man who told you about it was right.

May I ask who that was?
- He asked that secret.

We respect that.

That's what he said about you when you were
was attacked in the press.

"A great musician
treat you with respect. '

He is sure that you are high.

He pays the room.

If I can give you advice:

Do what your heart tells you.

Criticism will get you anyway.

The public wants to know: are women
suitable as a musician?

Do not forget that there
17 million radios.

Millions of ears listen to it.

His orchestras
to a cultural change?

This has nothing to do with culture.

It is doubtful entertainment.

A cry for attention.

Say honestly, you would have a ticket
buy for her concert?

Not me.

We liked it
Miss Brico asked.

But she is not there yet.

That is why it does not work either:
women are always too late.

Do not you just hate
to women as orchestra leader?

I only say what the public thinks.
- Mrs Brico never becomes maestra Brico?

No.

Her first concert is in Town Hall,
with 1500 seats.

Does she sell so many cards?

She is going back. I hear...

... that the concert is free.

Does not she want to earn anything?

It's an emergency,
there is no interest at all.

Miss Brico just arrived.
What do you think?

That emergency is because of the crisis.

So that the concert is also accessible
for people without money.

So I want the public
calls to come.

I'm sorry I'm late.
I had an important appointment.

What is more important
then your doomed project?

I used to be a teacher
from Mr. Goldsmith.

He already had a peculiar one at that time
conception about women.

They must be under.

That is how I learned
how to get on top.

I still take that ...

Kwalijk?

No...

I accept that.
Really.

I just had an appointment
with our first lady.

Nobody tells her
to shoot.

Had it to do with
your women's orchestra?

Hell yes.

She has just arrived
connected to our orchestra.

We are honored that they are
being a patroness.

It proves that even in it
the highest circles are interested.

What can I do for you?
- I come for Frank Thomsen.

Who can I say that there is?
- An old friend.

You're too fast for me.

You...

Hello, Frank.

I see you have a son.

Yes...

What's your name?

Will.

William.

Can you just bring it up?

Nice kid.

What are you doing?
Do you want to come in?

No, do not bother.
I have to leave again.

I came to thank you.
For what you did.

What then?

Mrs Roosevelt? And Town Hall?

That does not mean anything.
- For me.

I did not know right away
that you pulled some strings.

I owe you.

See it as my way
apologize.

What for?

I asked you to abuse your talent
by not using it.

You once called that disturbed.

You are not disturbed.

That was me.

When I let you go.

That also counts for me.

I have to go,
I will not disturb you any longer.

Are you coming to the concert?

No...

I am staying at home.

At William.

Maybe Emma is going.

How is it outside?
- One big spectacle.

Good evening, Mme First Lady.

What an honor to meet you.
Really a privilege.

You can not enter. The room is full.

Please stay there.
We are full.

Hello, sir.

People no longer have decency.

I think it's Frank.

The New York Women's Symphony
performed 4 successful years.

When Antonia began
to accept male musicians...

the public's interest disappeared
and the orchestra ceased to exist.

Antonia devoted
her entire life to music...

and remained active as a guest
conductor for famous orchestras.

However, she never attained a
permanent position as chief conductor.

In 2008, the well-respected
magazine Gramophone...

published a ranking of the
20 best orchestras in the world.

None of these orchestras has
ever had a female chief conductor.

Gramophone published
another ranking in 2017...

now with the 50 greatest
conductors of all time.

0% are women.
