[00:03.42]The opera, the opera!
[00:06.11]Stop mooning and moaning, we’ll miss the curtain!
[00:10.44]SERVANT
[00:11.07]Ladies
[00:13.16]Welcome to the opera
[00:17.81]SONYA
[00:18.83]Bare arms and shoulders
[00:20.68]Brilliant uniforms
[00:21.94]Pearls and silk
[00:22.77]Glittering before our eyes
[00:25.07]Feminine envy
[00:27.24]A whole crowd of memories
[00:29.38]Desires and emotions
[00:31.60]Natasha, smooth your gown
[00:33.25]Chorus
[00:33.77]Natasha, smooth your gown
[00:35.81]NATASHA
[00:36.15]Looking in the glass
[00:38.16]I see I am pretty
[00:39.81]Not a girl anymore
[00:42.05]I’ve never felt like this before
[00:45.00]Hundreds of eyes
[00:47.07]Looking at my bare arms
[00:48.92]My bare arms and neck
[00:51.30]My bare arms and shoulders
[00:55.43]Chorus
[00:57.33]The two remarkably pretty girls
[01:00.63]Had not been seen in Moscow in many years
[01:04.28]Everybody knew vaguely of Natasha’s engagement
[01:11.60]One of the finest matches in all of Russia
[01:15.18]SONYA
[01:15.41]Look, there’s Alexey, home from the war at last
[01:18.31]MARYA D.
[01:18.55]He has changed
[01:19.54]Dear me, Michael Kirilovich has grown still stouter!
[01:22.67]Chorus
[01:23.01]There’s Boris and Julie, engaged
[01:25.86]And Anna Mikhaylovna, what a headdress she has on!
[01:30.04]HÉLÈNE
[01:30.40]And is that Natasha
[01:33.70]Chorus
[01:34.01]And is that Natasha
[01:36.07]And is that Natasha
[01:38.06]NATASHA
[01:38.63]They are looking at me
[01:39.65]They are talking about me!
[01:41.43]They all like me so much
[01:43.39]The women envious
[01:44.67]The men calming their jealousy
[01:47.23]SERVANT
[01:47.67]Announcing Fedya Dolokhov
[01:53.24]He dominates Moscow’s most brilliant young men
[01:56.81]He stands in full view
[01:58.90]Well aware he’s attracting attention
[02:00.84]Yet as much at ease as though he were in his own room
[02:04.83]MARYA D.
[02:05.25]Dolokhov was in the Caucasus
[02:06.90]And he killed the Shah’s brother!
[02:08.73]Now all the Moscow ladies are mad about him
[02:12.83]Dolokhov the assassin!
[02:17.43]SERVANT
[02:17.92]Announcing Countess Hélène Bezukhova
[02:24.69]The queen of society
[02:26.70]Beautiful, barely clothed
[02:28.79]Plump bare shoulders, and much-exposed neck
[02:32.42]Round which she wears a double string of pearls
[02:36.34]Chorus
[02:36.68]Hélène and Dolokhov, arm in arm
[02:38.56]Pierre the cuckold sits at home
[02:40.49]Pierre the cuckold sits at home
[02:42.48]The poor man
[02:43.31]PIERRE
[02:44.02]No, I am enjoying myself at home this evening
[02:47.99]NATASHA
[02:48.80]Oh, that neck
[02:52.51]Oh, those pearls
[02:56.56]HÉLÈNE
[02:56.87]So beautiful
[02:58.96]What a charming young girl
[03:02.62]So enchanting
[03:04.84]NATASHA
[03:05.26]I blush scarlet
[03:09.36]MARYA D.
[03:10.48]Countess Bezukhova, Pierre’s wife
[03:13.82]Have you been here long?
[03:15.21]And where is dear Pierre?
[03:17.19]He never used to forget us
[03:18.84]NATASHA
[03:19.13]Yes Pierre, that good man
[03:21.45]A little sad, a little stout
[03:24.01]He must come visit us
[03:26.18]HÉLÈNE
[03:26.39]I will implore him to do so
[03:28.79]MARYA D.
[03:29.11]There’s a woman one should stay far away from
[03:35.95]Now Natasha
[03:38.09]The curtain rises
[03:40.21]Chorus
[03:40.39]The curtain rises
[03:43.11]NATASHA
[03:43.39]Everyone in the boxes and the stalls became silent
[03:47.23]All the men, old and young, in uniform and evening dress
[03:52.28]All the women in the hall
[03:53.90]With gems on their bare flesh
[03:56.14]Turned their whole attention
[03:58.00]With curiosity to the stage
[04:05.23](Two singers perform a scene from an avant-garde opera. It is grotesque and amazing.)
[05:19.50]NATASHA
[05:22.66]Grotesque and amazing
[05:33.19]I cannot follow the opera
[05:36.09]Or even listen to the music
[05:39.69]I see painted cardboard
[05:42.12]Queerly dressed actors
[05:43.27]Moving and singing so strangely in the lights
[05:46.69]So false and unnatural
[05:49.77]I’m ashamed and amused
[05:53.59]And everyone else seems oblivious
[05:56.64]Yes everyone feigns delight
[06:00.56]SONYA
[06:00.85]And feeling the flood of brilliant lights
[06:03.49]The warm perfumed air heated by the crowd
[06:07.25]Natasha little by little
[06:10.49]Began to pass into a state of intoxication
[06:25.33]NATASHA
[06:25.88]Oh I’d tickle you all if I could
[06:32.75]Oh I’d tickle you all if I could
[06:44.76]SONYA
[06:45.42]And then
[06:46.88]A rush of cold air
[06:51.45]NATASHA & SONYA
[06:53.72]An exceptionally handsome man walked in
[06:56.96]With a confident yet courteous air
[07:07.02]HÉLÈNE
[07:07.54]This was Hélène’s brother
[07:10.81]Anatole Kuragin
[07:14.12]He moved with a swagger
[07:17.05]Which would have been ridiculous
[07:20.05]Had he not been so good-looking
[07:26.72]And though it was the middle of the act
[07:29.93]He walked right down the aisle
[07:33.64]His sword and spurs jangling
[07:36.75]His handsome perfumed head held high
[07:44.03]And he looked right at Natasha
[07:48.19]ANATOLE
[07:48.81]Mais charmante
[07:50.12]HÉLÈNE
[07:50.77]And he took his place in the front row next to Dolokhov
[07:56.78]NATASHA
[07:57.80]How handsome he is
[08:02.16]How intoxicating
[08:09.92]SONYA
[08:11.28]In the second act there were tombstones
[08:14.49]The moon over the footlights
[08:18.02]Horns and contrabass
[08:19.90]Black cloaks and daggers in their hands
[08:23.61]NATASHA
[08:25.15]I turn around again and our eyes meet
[08:29.36]He gazes straight into my eyes
[08:34.45]He is talking about me
[08:38.21]SONYA
[08:39.02]Candles burning
[08:40.51]A crimson throne
[08:42.21]The Tsar wails a mournful tune
[08:45.63]They all wave their arms
[08:47.28]And everybody cheers
[08:49.08]“Bravo, bravo!”
[08:52.27]NATASHA
[08:52.87]Every time I look at him
[08:54.23]He’s looking at me
[08:56.05]Every time I look at him
[08:57.52]He's looking at me
[08:59.48]Every time I look at him
[09:02.90]SONYA
[09:03.16]A terrible noise, a clatter in the crowd
[09:05.90]A storm of chromatic scales and diminished sevenths
[09:09.30]With rapturous faces everyone was shouting
[09:12.98]Screaming and shouting, “Bravo!”
[09:18.70]Chorus
[09:19.46]Bravo, bravo
[09:25.83]Bravo, bravo
[09:32.68]Bravo, bravo
[09:39.86]SONYA
[09:40.17]And then
[09:41.25]A rush of cold air
[09:43.60]And Anatole entered the box
