the place is Spain the time 1570 an age

in which men lived by Intrigue and died

by violence Spain ruler of half the

world is itself ruled by his most

Catholic Majesty Philip II king of Spain

Sicily Naples the Netherlands and

Jerusalem in name the most powerful men

in the world in reality a frightened man

whose Crown rests uneasily on his head

play by and ever on guard against the

schemings of his ambitious brother

Prince John who from his Exile in

Brussels constantly plots to win

Philip's Throne lost without the firm

and loyal guidance of his great first

Minister ruy Gomez now 3 years dead

afraid to trust any man made treacherous

by doubt Philip Jour from his Capital at

Madrid to enlist the influence of ruy

gome Widow Anna de Mendoza princess of e

improved to a ambitious pattern it's a

new back for your chair the Old One's

dreadly friend and my

[Applause]

chair thank you Anna

dear

twter is there no one left now to use

that

nickname the oneeyed

one not since ruy died he managed to

make it a term of endearment tell me

Anna I've never asked you have I was it

really on my account that you lost your

eye it was so long ago I was such a

child of

impulse and that Paige of fathers was

really only a little boy what did it

matter if he thought that that your

brother should be King instead of you

but you defended me yes Phillip I fought

my one and only duel over you you always

believed in me yes I've always believed

in you and I in you no matter what

Madrid had to say about you and well you

might since the worst they could say was

that I was the king's

mistress you've lost none of your free

way of speech oh I'm sorry does it an

for you on the contrary it reminds me of

the better

times how sweetly the S carries in this

quiet country air it's not the Chimes of

Santa Mar Mia it's the one thing I miss

of Madrid that is why I'm here anna it

is time you return to

Madrid I'm happy here Fernando is going

up you H to him he's happy

here now

Philip why why do you really want me to

come back to

Madrid Anna you are a

Mendoza it is still the greatest name in

Spain you didn't come all this way to

tell me that you remember Antonio Perez

that perfumed upstar from aragan I must

brilliant

Minister he has

imagination he gets things done I

thought Mato vasque was your Tower

strength I put no such trust in him as

inir vaset could succumb to my brother's

FAL

Char fth is an

opportunist I know his pockets are well

lined he's ostentatious his manners are

deplorable but I can count on

him he is loyal to my

Throne then if you put such trust in him

why don't you make him your first

Minister your husband Ry Gomez was my

first

Minister only when he died did I rule

Spain and only then so now you have two

first secretaries and play one against

the

other a dangerous game Philip it keeps

power in my

hands it's little enough I Ask of You

anna you haven't asked it

yet the abbility are cold toward

bth he is not of them

but if Anna De Menda were to receive him

into her

home then they can have no

choice I don't share your liking for

this per and I don't believe in nameless

peasants becoming secretaries of State

no Phillip I won't be used to advance

his

career you've lost none of your audacity

an surely Philip there can be no

audacity between

friends then between

friends I ask you to return

an Madrid is very lonely without you

[Applause]

[Music]

in secret hiding places even within his

own Capital men Meet By Night to plan

Philip's downfall and the enthronement

of his brother Prince

John made bold by the ever increasing

number of their supporters Fanatic in

their Devotion to the exiled Prince the

conspirators are led by a one-time

member of Philip's retinue and now

Prince John's personal adviser Juan

escavador arrogant ruthless eager for

the hour of decision Prince J sh Prevail

let there be no

[Music]

mistake you delivered the letter as you

wanted EX

him well his Majesty's face turned white

with anger he sent for Antonio Perez at

once I couldn't have asked for better I

don't envy in his moment with the king

who knows the day when Spain is burdened

with two secs of state may come to an

end Antonio Perez star is fading yes who

knows perhaps it will be a first

Minister once again to guide the king

without interference done Meo

Vasquez it would be modest to me to say

it but who is better qualified

it was a fortunate wind indeed that blew

that escavador letter into my

hands read

this vaset intercepted it ah the r

efficiency Vasquez it will prove the

undoing of us all was not he who

persuaded me appoint this esav adviser

to my brother you see the results in

escavor own

hand to Prince

John our

highness now is the time to strike I

urge you ignore the king's peaceful

policies and you will have the whole

Army behind you thus could you become

greater in Spain than your brother and a

fit Contender for the

throne what must he do before we speak

of

treason impeach

Escovedo the courts will do the rest and

the

Executioner sire is that baset solution

why

not your

majesty will it be Escovedo who stands

trial or your brother will the people

believe this was all escobedo's idea

there can be no trial your majesty for

the good of the royal name for the good

of

Spain I am

Spain mine is the divine right

there will be no

trial a wise decision sire I will speak

to Escovedo and make him see the light

you will die at the hand of an unknown

executioner your

magesty this was not my

intention it is my

order in

writing it is for the good of St

I beg your Indulgence s leave this

matter in my hands I will accept full

responsibility for his future conduct I

ask this of you in your own

interest sire surely Juanes CTO is not a

worthy opponent for your

majesty Elizabeth of England

yes William the silent

yes Henry of France

yes butan

ESO no your majesty

there are times when you display the Roy

GTH

technique you're becoming very adct of

maneuvering your

king you're not aspiring to be the

second Roy Gomez in my

life are you Antonio I could never hope

for such distinction

s so be

it I will concede the escavator matter

to you

and I will pray to God to give him

better judgment thank you your

majesty this the world of treachery to

which at her King's request Anna Deanda

exen good night the pleasure was mine

Senor Secretary of

State Don Antonio princess I'm sorry to

kept you waiting but Don Wong is a

little deliberative

speech my Saints Day came more quickly

than I had whole princess I wonder what

your sudden invitation until I saw

Escovedo here really he's such an

Earnest man if it were not for that one

could only call him a fool I call him

that and much

more so I gather you gather only too

truly Esco has lost his heart to the

king's brother and forgotten the king

that's why he here door so princess I

should bit you good night and await my

Saints St another

[Music]

time Don

Antonio Philip is also my king and Juan

esav was not invited here nor was it on

his

account that you

were so

now please sit down and forget if

there's a

state surprise me Don Antonio and you me

Princess the way you spoke I hadn't

expected such cander I noted for it

unfortunately I would like a little of

the same from

you why was escco here

I thought we'd come to that

well he came to warn me against you it

seems that he's as anxious that you

should not use me as an ally as you seem

anxious that he should not do the same

thing and what did you tell him but I

tell

you I use my influence with no

one so you

see you had no cause to fear you

misunderstood me

princess I was is not afraid that I

believe fear is not an emotion for the

man I saw this

afternoon all that he was not so

hazardous you must remember that I was

not born a king's

minister so now we come to the real

reason I asked you here

tonight I owe you an apology I am

pleased that you approve of me not

entirely I'd like to be of help to you

if I

can would you be offended if I

said that your clothes are a little over

ornate for the restrained Taste of

Madrid your Jewels somewhat

lavish you mean uh my taste is of the

worst say that it too well conceals the

man that Lies

Beneath we even now princess I didn't

expect such candle from you either like

you I am noted for it I didn't believe

Philip when he said that you were the

man he trusted most I did when I saw you

this afternoon and even more so

now it was kind of you to

come some wine

friendship I will use any

means and who would believe that stupid

fairy tale my name has been linked with

a 100 women most of them as of impecable

virtue as the great lady you have named

princess of e and those others the King

was not in love with them you were to

hear his trusted advisor go on you fool

go on

fit your word against the HS and threats

and testimonies of the mendozas of Spain

and all their vessels and their cousins

colors before philli not since you were

a

widow I don't see black to remind me of

ruy don't censure me Philip

it's been days since you came here and

now I can stay only a

minute it seems there is too little time

to be a friend and be a

king there was a day when I could not

have proved so

dutiful we must give thanks to God that

we grow old and Temptation dies you hear

him Cardinal he always pays Court to me

if one may call it that in such terms as

to make it seem he's profoundly grateful

to have escaped me perhaps indeed I

am had we been once could we visit

together now in such perfect trust and

friendship can't

lovers your

majesty come in Don

Antonio forgive my intrusion your

highness your majesty a courier had just

arrived from your brother's a what new

request do he make the old one s always

money but we don't give him any do we

pars no we do not come on

then I know a gay party awaits you

somewhere but you must forgo your

pleasure for an hour I pray you s delay

it no more than that or you will surely

bring great sorrow to one of the ladies

of

Madrid I hope you know what great honor

it does you to have won the Friendship

of the princess of E I am even more

grateful for that of Anna de Mendoza s

you see Anna why he is Secretary of

State we didn't know him we might think

that he was paying Court to

you but we do know him and so it is

impossible you have found a most

persuasive Advocate per since a highness

has interceded for you I will release

you from your toils

tonight good night princess and a holy

lent to you and to your house and to you

your majesty great peace and pleasure

delis goral

[Applause]

father oh an and darling Anna why didn't

you tell me he was coming here you

servants why didn't they warn me Phillip

is a friend he comes when he pleases

what does he mean leaving me here it's a

trap that's what it is a trap he knows

he knows everything and what if he does

I didn't like the way he looked at me I

didn't like what he said this can go on

Anna it's too

dangerous do you wish it to end Anton

you know the answer to

that Anna there's too much

talk so I've learned and you don't mind

of course I mind but what is the

alternative do you prefer clandestine

meetings nasty ctitious hidings behind

locked doors no thank you Anna it's not

only you that is

involved forgive me I didn't know your

reputation was so spotless I have worked

20 years to be where I am now and I'm a

threat to your Ambitions I see every day

with what dispatch Philip can punish

anyone who betrays him have you betrayed

him have I not what would he say if he

knew that the woman he loved why all

this self- reproach Philip has no claim

on

me don't you misunderstand an Philip's

love is not for me but for the legend of

our love for a lost youth

Anna this I must

know did you love

him I suppose I must

have you see him now Anon a man burnt

out old before his time intent on his

place in history and in

heaven but when he was

young

yes I loved him

perhaps he even loved

me perhaps that was why he arranged my

marriage to ruie if he loved you he

wouldn't have given you to anyone only

to ruy whom he love so dearly his

conscience would never let him attempt

to win ru's

wife that complicated man a good man and

that's what makes him so

dangerous there are others against me

far less

good they never worried me

you haven't finished your supper Anna

I'm not

hungry forgive me Anna I'm sorry I

didn't mean the things that I

said well I'm bad for you go now don't

make me grow to love you

anymore I never intended that you should

love me

I wanton you always do my darling you're

too good to hosand for your old

mother are you old mother sometimes

darling very old when are we going back

to Madrid oh not for a long

time I wish we would go back I liked it

when the King used to come to see us and

Don Antonio you like Don Antonio didn't

you he made me laugh it's what of his

charms he has

gity whoa who there there's a guest

waiting it's not Antonio is it no

no come along young man let's wash some

of that smell of horse of you

oh your

eminence what joy to see you it's a joy

to see you child tell me the news of

Madrid I was hoping for news of you what

are your doings

oh I'm busy I I visit the Estates

discuss whether the silk wors are more

industrious this year than last spend

much time with Fernando then you've not

seen

Antonio nor shall

I my soul can carry no heavier bird

there's no Burdon if you truly

repent repentance cannot restore a

life it was my desire that brought Esco

to his end I fear Antonio must answer

for it he is to be charged with a murder

no one would dare accuse a king's

Minister the Escovedo family has

prepared a petition to the king himself

they say Juan died because he discovered

an illicit romance between Antonio and

someone who is named only as that

it was wise of them otherwise they could

never have found so prominent a

spokesman it is your own cousin enigo

Inigo yes he will present the petition

doesn't he know that I am that lady no

it is unlikely am mendosa does not

attack his own then he'll learn and

quickly and what does Philip say to this

petition all things conspire to solve

Philip's problems the plague carried

away his brother in the Netherlands

Philip grief is now tempered by the fact

that he can offer the post to Antonio

and so get him out of the country before

the petition could be put before

him his letters say nothing I was

leaving Spain Philip was to tell Antonio

the new appointment this

afternoon and so it

ends I lock myself away here turn myself

into a

battlefield and the problem is solved

for me as well as

with

well at least one of us got what he was

after my Antonio goes on to higher

honors better take all our uniforms eh

the ladies in Brussels will like our

nice Spanish

uniforms I they should love

him

nor so

generous so are

you you've given me so

much

Diego yes Excellency someone healed the

Messa and his

uncle tell them to bring their sharpest

swords they will ride with me

[Music]

Anna let me look at

you I forbid you to come

here

anna it's wonderful to see you again oh

anany what am I going to do without you

Eminence you have betrayed me you have

become greater than my

ambitions Brussels will live without me

you

that I'm in

love what did you

say I love you

[Applause]

Anna we have no right to

love we have a death to answer for we

have a what let us be honest with each

other we know why esav who died well

that's why you stayed away from Madrid

while you refused to see me Anna I

didn't kill Escovedo what are you saying

so that's the reason for all this what

else was I to think you said you'd kill

him someone else sa me the doing of it I

don't know all I know is that the King

was prepared to turn him over to the

Executioner even before he broke into

your

house yes what is it Dono

asked him to come

rule that becomes you you'll allow me to

decide that so be it I am told that you

king that is my privilege it is one you

will forgo are you not aware that I am

the subject of an affair so revolting as

the settle Madrid ringing dear Saint

have you ever heard such ranting I speak

for the family you will pack at once I

shall take you to your uncle in sevil

until you've regained your senses you've

trampled our name in the mud deep enough

the honor of the Moses is far safer in

my hands than in yours if you wish an

issue Inigo I will give you one if you

want to see to whose side the family

will rally I will show you it is always

preferred on honesty to

stupidity I'm waiting cousin you are

going cousin and quickly if you are wise

[Applause]

you I will await your seconds peris good

and you know that you will die within

one minute after the crossing of our

swords and another thing the king

himself has advis the escco the

suspicions are groundless so if you want

to get along in life either keep up to

date with our scandals or keep out of

them good night and

goodbye that was not a wise thing to do

for you to make an enemy of the

menois for one onor the

Mendoza I would fight a whole Army of

mendozas you could have them on your

side this is not the year for

miracles

how it's very simple

a widow May marry a

gay Anna do you think that I would hide

behind your

skirts and use you as a shield against

my

enemy there is also the matter of my

love when I can come to you as I once

came the king's right

hand my name cleared in open trial then

I will do the

asking in the meantime let there be no

more talk about doing without

yourness announcement to the king

[Music]

yourness I had not thought to see you

here I had thought to see you in Madrid

I've been back two weeks

not a note not a word from

you my old friend did not behave so why

are you here princess no longer

Anna I'm

waiting like my

cousin I have come to present a petition

your majesty but for quite different

reasons I too urge that you allow

Antonio Pere to be brought to tral and

you wish this brought out in the open it

is out in the open since you declined

Exile in Brussels have you not stri him

of his duties one by one by your own

action do you show Madrid you think him

guilty he killed the man no Philip he

did not he killed him and not out of

loyalty to his King but because of a

woman that lady say it Philip because of

me now you see why I cannot let him come

to

trial you have disgraced yourself honor

and Roy's name I've done no harm to ru's

name that part of my life which belongs

belong to him still belongs to him but

there is another part which belongs to

me and I insist on managing it under God

if I do wrong that is between me in

heaven I repeat you have disgraced

yourself this public Scandal is an

outrage it is indeed an outrage that is

why I now demand this trial then you

deny you have a lover I deny that it was

because I had a lover that escco died

you can say this to me that you belong

to have I ever disguised from you this I

am human that you could give him

up do not ask me to do

it it would dishonor both of

us you have made me suffer

Anna as no man should

suffer your letters to your lover

get them out of my sight oh no Phillip

you couldn't I had the right as head of

state it was my privilege who talks of

Rights and privileges when it's human

feelings you're trampling

on oh clumsy clumsy

vill I did not steal the letters nor ask

that they be stolen I was shocked when

they brought them to me shocked at

having in my hands letters from you to

another

man I locked them away

but I wanted to read

them I take them out and hold them in my

hands and try to read

them I

couldn't I think I was too afraid of the

pain of the

awful pain they'd be to

me

oh the give me

pH forgive me

[Music]

highness I come at the king's bidding he

demands your oath that you return to the

country and never see Antonio Perth

your business Cardinal I asked the

release of Antonio

Perry on what grounds his innocence that

is a matter yet to be determined no

longer sir

another man has admitted his guilt in

the

confession who is this man that I do not

know the priest who heard his confession

is bound to silence a flagrant trick

some henchman of pth purges himself to

an ignorant priest a man does not purger

himself to God s in all humility I

forewarn you the voice of the church

will be heard it is my voice that is

heard in Spain for months an innocent

man has suffered unjustly an innocent

woman as we can find to a dark and iy

hell for weeks she has Lain on a filthy

bed and in high

fever if you do not concern yourself

with Justice concern yourself with

pity I pity anyone who is in a state of

sin she is in a state of grace your

majesty and soon will

die then we must suppose it is her time

to

die is God's will

you dare to defy your

king you undermine the authority of the

throne my own Court looks at me with

questioning eyes there is whispering in

the

streets go home andna put an end to this

here Antonio is triy it is for the king

to impose conditions not to have them

imposed upon him this your P has earned

he was willing to face his his accusers

empty-handed if I let you go free

willing to surrender my warrant no he

too forgot I am the king I accept an

ultimatum from no man what have you done

obey
