The dramatis personae and the actors
who lent their voices to the puppets

7
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,000
Ernst is an attorney
and aspiring composer.

8
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
One day he will become
the great German romantic writer

9
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,320
E.T.A. Hoffmann.

10
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:08,679
In his imagination,

11
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,320
Ernst at times transforms
into the splendid youth Anselmus.

12
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:20,400
Anselmus is hopelessly in love with
the wondrous snake-girl Serpentina.

13
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:26,639
Serpentina the snake-girl is
the daughter of the good magician

14
00:01:26,679 --> 00:01:28,920
Archivarius Lindhorst.

15
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:34,000
Salamander Lindhorst
is the royal privy archivist,

16
00:01:34,119 --> 00:01:37,679
exiled from Atlantis,
and the father of Serpentina.

17
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,920
Olympia is a mysterious
girl of few words.

18
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Allow me to introduce myself,
The Parrot!

19
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:53,880
The omni-secret (and omniscient)
Parrot of our theatre.

20
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,159
I see,

21
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:13,280
I see in my dreams a miraculous bird

22
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,440
in the form of a man
with a proud profile,

23
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,160
This is Salamander Lindhorst,
both a magician and my protector,

24
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,880
the father of beautiful Serpentina.

25
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,760
But Fate has seen fit to test my heart
with tender attraction

26
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,480
to three young damsels.

27
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,880
In this house is my modest cell.

28
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,840
By day I serve in the Chancellery,

29
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,280
but at night
I live wholly in my visions.

30
00:02:57,239 --> 00:02:59,559
It happens at times
that I even fall sleep.

31
00:03:11,559 --> 00:03:17,840
I see hidden Atlantis, my poetic dream,

32
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:24,639
and I see myself as Anselmus,
in love with Serpentina.

33
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,480
She first appeared to me
in the Elderberry Tree.

34
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,720
Stop! Stop!

35
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,639
The Elderberry Tree.

36
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:56,000
The romantic spot where our hero
first saw Serpentina.

37
00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:03,639
It's so enchanting here!

38
00:04:12,519 --> 00:04:18,239
Here and there among the branches,
we weave, twist, turn, and dangle.

39
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,519
Sisterkin, sisterkin!

40
00:04:20,679 --> 00:04:28,920
Quick, quick, up and down - the
evening sun shoots forth its rays,

41
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,440
as the rustling wind
shakes the leaves...

42
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:36,880
Sister! Sister! Quickly! Sister!

43
00:04:37,239 --> 00:04:41,039
Hey, what's all this chatter,
this whispering?

44
00:04:41,159 --> 00:04:44,960
Enough! You've basked enough,
you've sung enough!

45
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:47,559
Hey ho, through grass and water,
below we go!

46
00:04:47,679 --> 00:04:50,760
Homeward!
Homeward, homeward!

47
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:56,639
Oh, if you would once more glitter
and coil and swing on the branches,

48
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,280
my darling golden snakelet!

49
00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:01,079
How I love you!

50
00:05:02,119 --> 00:05:06,800
I'll die of grief and agony
if you do not return!

51
00:05:07,159 --> 00:05:10,519
Hey, what is all this
whimpering and whining?

52
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,679
Herr Privy Archivarius?

53
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:15,559
What do you want
from the Elderberry Tree?

54
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:22,360
Ah! Just now I saw a
golden-green snakelet,

55
00:05:20,119 --> 00:05:21,840
eternally beloved of my soul,

56
00:05:22,679 --> 00:05:25,360
and she spoke to me in
glorious crystalline tones.

57
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Perhaps you will think me mad, but...

58
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,280
Not at all.

59
00:05:29,719 --> 00:05:33,519
The golden-green snakelets
you saw in the elder bush

60
00:05:34,119 --> 00:05:35,400
were my three daughters.

61
00:05:36,159 --> 00:05:38,159
And it's quite clear to me

62
00:05:38,239 --> 00:05:40,519
that you have fallen
head-over-heels in love

63
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,400
with the blue eyes of
my youngest, Serpentina.

64
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,960
Oh Serpentina!

65
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Calm thyself, enough for today.

66
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,120
Incidentally, you can see them quite
often, if you decide to work for me.

68
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,280
- Truly? - On the condition
that you perform your work well.

69
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,120
Whatever you command, Herr Archivarius!

70
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,159
This is no good.
Coming late to the Chancellery!

71
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,560
Greens, greens, fresh greens!
- Apples! Pies!

72
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,480
Flee, devils' spawn! But beware!

73
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,400
You'll end up under glass! Under glass!

74
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,960
Distant childhood!

75
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,119
Under glass... Accursed witch!

76
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,519
You awakened within me
the terrors of distant childhood.

77
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,880
How often in the night the uncanny
shapeshifter stalked me...

79
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:20,760
Look at you, a human cub!
And what fresh little eyes you have.

80
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:28,039
Nice eyes. Give me your eyes,
my sight has gone bad.

81
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,400
Give them to me!

82
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:30,639
I won't!

83
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,159
Who was that?
Nanny, nanny, who was that?

84
00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:53,239
The Sandman. How can you not know?
The man with the sand.

85
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,639
He's a wicked man
who comes for children

86
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,560
who are stubborn and won't go to bed.

87
00:08:03,159 --> 00:08:05,880
He flings a fistful of sand
into their eyes

88
00:08:06,159 --> 00:08:08,599
and then throws the disobedient children
into his sack

89
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,379
and takes them to the moon

90
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,440
to feed to his little ones,
waiting up there in their nest.

91
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,840
But you are a well-behaved boy,
so rest easy.

92
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,680
The Sandman, the fearsome Sandman...

93
00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:31,200
was the old advocate Coppelius,
who often dined with us.

94
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,279
He always filled me with horror.

95
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,639
Most disgusting were his knotted,
hairy paws.

96
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,520
I felt sickened
by whatever they touched.

98
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,360
A joy to see you, my dear Master.

99
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:03,560
I trembled with fear,
but I felt compelled:

100
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,159
I had to uncover the secret

101
00:10:05,359 --> 00:10:08,800
that bound my beloved father
to this foul man.

102
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:10,960
Look alive! Straight to work!

103
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,960
Now it became clear why every
time Coppelius visited

104
00:10:16,319 --> 00:10:22,560
a thin fume with a singular odor
would fill the house.

105
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,280
Eyes! Eyes!
Must have eyes!

106
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:08,239
Eyes this way! Eyes!
Where are the eyes?

107
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,560
There's the wee beastie!

108
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,080
Now we have eyes -
a pretty pair of child's eyes!

109
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,439
Master! Master!

110
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,920
Leave my son his eyes,
better to take mine...

110
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:39,960
Ha! Who needs your old, blind eyes!

111
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,480
Here are my eyelets.

112
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,360
I implore you!

113
00:11:48,680 --> 00:12:01,640
Well, let the lad have his eyes
and do his share of the world's crying.

114
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,840
Fie! What a frightful dream!

115
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,680
Nutcracker, you're always at my side.

116
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,320
One moment.

117
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:27,560
Right, then...

118
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,520
Greetings, Frau Mark!
Good morning, Veronika!

119
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,400
My husband, The Honourable Consul...
- Please be seated.

120
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,439
has asked me to convey to you

121
00:12:50,439 --> 00:12:54,920
that since you began
instructing our daughter

122
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,279
her singing has improved immeasurably.

123
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,920
A pleasure to hear.

124
00:13:02,319 --> 00:13:07,760
Our daughter
dreams of becoming a singer.

125
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,280
This will require much work.

126
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,520
Have you any objection to my
presence at the lesson?

127
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,400
I would be honored.

128
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,720
What's happening, Mama?

129
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,760
Young man, we must be off now.

130
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,199
We need to attend to the dress
being sewn for Veronika

131
00:14:13,239 --> 00:14:17,079
for our musical evening.

132
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,640
Incidentally,
do come yourself to our salon.

133
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,040
You could play something,
and I hope our guests would enjoy it.

134
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,280
Umph, these attics.

135
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,319
Accursed Coppelius!
Vile Sandman! Fat worm!

136
00:14:54,399 --> 00:15:00,359
How long will you haunt me?
Leave me in peace! Away!

137
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:06,600
So!

138
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:09,560
So!

139
00:15:15,119 --> 00:15:15,800
Yes!

140
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:18,680
Yes!

141
00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:20,720
Yes!

142
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,960
Bravo! Bravo! Prima!
- You are too kind!

143
00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:35,319
Stupendous! Bravissimo!
Stupendous! Bravo!

144
00:15:37,119 --> 00:15:39,199
The hated Chancellery.

145
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,960
Can it be that I must sit
through my entire life

146
00:15:51,039 --> 00:15:54,440
amongst these office rats?

147
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,640
The blessed fool!

148
00:16:25,319 --> 00:16:28,640
Home, home, home!
Time to go home!

149
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,760
"Lutter & Wegner" Tavern.

150
00:16:44,439 --> 00:16:47,119
- I'm burning with expectation!
- And what did you say?

151
00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:48,439
We're all ears!

152
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,159
"Oh, yes!" I informed him,

153
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:59,479
"I can only guess at the noble ancestry
of your scratched nose and puffy cheeks."

154
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,960
Everybody burst into guffaws!

155
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:09,000
And of what noble origin
is this part of your body?

156
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:20,520
And my foot in his arse!

157
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,880
To your health!

158
00:18:48,199 --> 00:18:49,680
I beg your pardon.

159
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,119
Have you not forgotten
about your invitation

160
00:18:52,239 --> 00:18:53,440
to the musical evening?

161
00:18:54,279 --> 00:18:56,239
An Evening of Music
<i>chez</i> Madame Mark

162
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,720
Herr Ernst,

163
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,199
I shall explain things to you
without delay.

164
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,560
Tonight is the latest
of our evening parties

165
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,079
offering musical feasting.

166
00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:22,359
The atmosphere is most refined:

167
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,760
alongside punch, wine and ice cream,
a bit of music is always served.

168
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,239
That is Herr Greppel, he's from Hamburg;
he and his father, the senator,

169
00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:35,600
successfully run the banking house
"Greppel & Son."

170
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:41,199
Alongside ice cream,
a bit of music is served.

171
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,119
Why were you late?

172
00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:52,119
Me? I work a great deal... I'm writing...
I'm writing an opera!

173
00:19:52,199 --> 00:19:53,079
Opera?

174
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,479
It'll be a grand composition, "Undine",
about the daughter of the Sea King.

175
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,960
And could I sing in your opera?

176
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:06,439
But of course,
I would be only too glad.

177
00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:10,680
To see you every day,
to be together.

178
00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:15,920
You must play Undine.
Here is proof of my promise.

179
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,760
Well here I am - your double!

180
00:20:51,199 --> 00:20:53,680
I can move you as I wish!

181
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,400
Look! He is dancing by himself!

182
00:20:56,199 --> 00:20:59,359
What are you doing here?
All the guests here are marionettes.

183
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,800
Shall we make fun of them a bit, huh?

184
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,720
What's that?

185
00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:11,199
Where did this pretty
little leg come from?

186
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:14,439
This is neither you nor me anymore,
but our beloved Veronica!

187
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,760
He's not himself!
- It's uncanny, very uncanny!

188
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,239
Madness, pure and simple!

189
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,840
I've seen nothing like it!

190
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,239
Flee, flee from here!

191
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,200
Since I clearly cannot interest her
with a pleasing appearance,

192
00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:51,520
I wish to become the embodiment
of ugliness to attract her attention.

193
00:21:55,479 --> 00:21:58,880
But after all, if I may say so,
I am an artist!

194
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,680
And I have the body of true artist,

195
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:06,319
which means that in paying visits
I don't have to bring it with me,

196
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,039
but can leave it at home.

197
00:22:21,199 --> 00:22:27,680
I don wanna! Don't like it!
I'm just a doodlebug. I don wanna!

198
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,960
For what did God punish me
with this little werewolf?

199
00:22:31,479 --> 00:22:35,039
Why did I have to give birth
to a disgrace and a laughingstock?

200
00:22:36,159 --> 00:22:38,039
When can I just die?

201
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,479
Mom, look!
- Like a cockroach!

202
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,760
I'm a doodlebug.
- Stand back, you'll get infected.

203
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,199
Perfect for the circus.

204
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,680
Well now, if you don't have the
tiniest, handsomest little boy!

205
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,520
Truly a blessing from God
to whomever is sent

206
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,720
such a wonderful, comely child.

207
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,520
My dear Pastor,
it's a sin for you, God's servant,

208
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,960
to laugh at a poor woman,

209
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:11,600
punished by the heavens
for who knows what.

210
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,439
What nonsense you're talking!

211
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,600
Rather, tell me the name
of this little one.

212
00:23:17,439 --> 00:23:20,399
That is his name -
Zaches the Little One.

213
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,920
Well then, let's hand over
your promising youngster to me

214
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,439
for care and upbringing.

215
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,199
Can you really be serious?

216
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,760
I will make a great man out of him.

217
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,199
What a stroke of luck for the freak!

218
00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:39,479
He'll be the head of Chancellery!
- Let's go home, children.

219
00:23:56,439 --> 00:24:00,880
He'll be the head of Chancellery!

220
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:04,680
Who's that?

221
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,800
Do me the honor of reading this.

222
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,640
We have the honor of informing you
that your proposition

223
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,920
enjoys our full support.

224
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,279
You are hereby appointed Kapellmeister
of our theatre.

225
00:24:33,159 --> 00:24:39,040
To take those slender fingers
and pass your palm over my face...

226
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:39,520
An appointment!

227
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,399
How I hoped for an answer to my letters,

228
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,800
always receiving a rejection.

229
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,079
And now an appointment!

230
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,760
I shall this...

231
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,560
...that the terms offered for our
partnership are highly flattering.

232
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,279
Hello.
- Good afternoon!

233
00:25:17,439 --> 00:25:21,039
May I be so bold as to present
this trifle to your judgment.

234
00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:23,000
That's better.

235
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,640
Who is the grim figure in the dark cape?

236
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,520
Can it be that very same Sandman?

237
00:25:53,439 --> 00:25:54,800
Coppelius!

238
00:25:55,199 --> 00:25:57,920
That horrifying Flinger of Sand
has appeared again.

239
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,880
Eyes! Where are the eyes?

240
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,079
Please come in!

241
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,560
PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS AND MECHANICS
MOSH PAULMANN

242
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,359
Overjoyed I am, Herr Coppelius.

243
00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:23,039
Perhaps Coppelius
is only my gloomy fantasy?

244
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,159
Yet, my mood should be a good one today.

245
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:35,600
My Olympia! 20 years I've labored,
hiding her from the public.

246
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,439
I've invested my entire life in her.

247
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,960
Total silence is essential.

248
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,399
But my clocks!
- Less talk. To work!

249
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,560
Our goal is to acquire the pure soul
of Anselmus.

250
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,600
Only the naïve soul of Anselmus

251
00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:18,800
can overcome the magic
of the Salamander Lindhorst.

252
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,880
Shall we get to work?

253
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:36,239
So nice! Such nice eyeballs!
Well then, clockmaker, let's begin.

254
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,600
Theatre!

255
00:27:57,399 --> 00:27:59,479
It doesn't matter that it's empty now.

256
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,240
People will come...

257
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,240
Yes, people will come
and it will come alive.

258
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,359
I see it clearly.

259
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,279
Yes, yes!

260
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,359
Mice are after the maiden Marie.

261
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,039
Help me!

262
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,920
I'm the nutcracker, a brave knight!

263
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,600
My mission is to fight evil.

264
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,960
For Marie, I am ready to battle

265
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,560
against the Mouse King!

266
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,360
- Nutcracker, fight the Mouse King!
- I am always ready to right

267
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,320
with my teeth! Snap! Snap! Snap!

268
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:20,000
Even alone without a sword,
I can beat the Mouse Regiment!

269
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,000
What's he clapping to?
There's nobody there.

270
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,680
Here I shall insert my Singspiele,
my "Merry Musicians"

271
00:29:34,199 --> 00:29:35,399
and my opera "Undine"!

272
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,319
My Olympia is not a talker,

273
00:29:43,399 --> 00:29:49,539
but with these eyes you brought, her gaze
will inflame him... with amorous desire.

274
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,239
He'll forget Serpentina,

275
00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:59,399
that snakelet the cursed Salamander
is trying to push off on him.

276
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:08,520
I'm curious how our Burghers 
ill react to my appointment.

277
00:30:12,439 --> 00:30:16,880
Glory to the happy burghers,

278
00:30:17,159 --> 00:30:20,880
Thrifty, wealthy men of trade.

279
00:30:21,079 --> 00:30:29,600
Ola-reeo! Ola-reeo!

280
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:38,319
Our lives behind beer mugs
are merry and brave!

281
00:30:38,399 --> 00:30:46,800
Ola-reeo! Ola-reeo!

282
00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:55,760
We are highly influential persons,
Gentlemen in uniforms.

283
00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:03,840
But even we from time to time
Like to have a bit of fun!

284
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,720
My beloved Colombina!
- Away, unworthy Truffaldino.

285
00:31:33,439 --> 00:31:36,119
See, the apprentice,

286
00:31:36,479 --> 00:31:40,039
the petty clerk
is prancing around the theatre.

287
00:31:40,239 --> 00:31:44,000
Such a thespian should appreciate
our theatrical work.

288
00:31:44,399 --> 00:31:49,640
He'll help us rid our domains
of the accursed Salamander.

289
00:31:50,039 --> 00:31:52,840
That kind-hearted magician.

290
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,880
She's coming to life!

291
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,560
Undine!

292
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,960
My subaquatic opera!

293
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:13,840
I am Undine, Undine!

294
00:32:14,119 --> 00:32:19,000
Transparent and light,

295
00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:28,359
I came in the dark of night
To the fisherman's hut.

296
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:39,079
I'm a mermaid, a maid of the sea,
A wave in love,

297
00:32:40,479 --> 00:32:50,880
Huldebrand, in joy and in sorrow
I remain true to you.

298
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,640
What are you doing here?

299
00:32:59,239 --> 00:33:01,079
I am your new Kapellmeister.

300
00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:04,159
You?
- Me!

301
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,000
I am writing an opera,
almost finished.

302
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,600
Here, it's called "Undine."

303
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,079
I prefer to conduct it myself.

304
00:33:14,479 --> 00:33:20,560
You? You won't be seen
even from the orchestra pit.

305
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:26,199
So that's how it is.

306
00:33:27,239 --> 00:33:29,640
Drosselmeyer, here!

307
00:33:35,439 --> 00:33:36,520
Magical cloak!

308
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:51,279
It seems to me
I'm a giant.

309
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,840
The deed is done.

310
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,640
Done is the deed, done.

311
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,439
What an interesting laboratory
you have.

312
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,399
So many curiosities.

313
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,880
Tell me about this telescope.

314
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:50,079
It's a special device
with an unusual optical effect.

315
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,239
What effect?

316
00:34:52,319 --> 00:34:55,800
This little tube shows what is desired
rather than what is.

317
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,439
Intriguing.
- Would you like to try it out?

318
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,239
Not I. But there is an individual
for whom this is indispensable!

319
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,439
But in that case...

320
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,880
No buts. I'm taking it!

321
00:35:16,279 --> 00:35:21,479
He'll see what he wants to see.

322
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,439
Oh, my Serpentina!

323
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,479
That accursed old hag's
curse frightens me:

324
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,439
"You'll end up under glass!"

325
00:35:40,399 --> 00:35:43,199
Excellent and mysterious other.

326
00:35:48,399 --> 00:35:49,560
She's gone.

327
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,640
Can't be late to the Chancellery.
Where's my frock?

328
00:36:30,319 --> 00:36:34,640
This way. This way.

329
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,840
Stand up!
Do you not see who has graced us?

330
00:36:53,600 --> 00:37:01,000
What reliability! What zeal!
What punctuality!

331
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:06,079
Fine work!
Exemplary, exemplary!

332
00:37:07,479 --> 00:37:12,520
Please receive from my hands
this highest of awards:

333
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,239
the Order of the Green-Spotted Tiger.

334
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,520
This is a heavy tiger.

335
00:37:32,439 --> 00:37:35,520
Hold me! Don't hold me!

336
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:43,520
Away!

337
00:37:49,079 --> 00:37:51,640
The tavern is just what I need.

338
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,439
What's with you, Herr Ernst?
You're out of sorts.

339
00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:31,000
Silly thoughts have been haunting me
recently.

340
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:32,119
How's that?

341
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,600
Tell me, can a person be put
inside glass?

342
00:38:40,159 --> 00:38:43,279
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

343
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,800
I also think it's balderdash.

344
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:54,199
Personally, I prefer an inventive lie
to banal truth.

345
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,479
Onward, Herr Warlock!
The show must begin!

346
00:38:59,079 --> 00:39:00,880
An Oriental tale!

347
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,399
Imagine a magnificent procession...
- He's gotten a bit carried away.

348
00:39:05,479 --> 00:39:08,239
Onto 12 snow-white unicorns...

349
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,319
with little golden hooves...
- Our very own teller of tales.

350
00:39:13,439 --> 00:39:17,479
...mount creatures
wrapped in scarlet silk robes.

351
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,119
They are blowing pleasingly
into silver trumpets,

352
00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:22,640
beating on cymbals and drums.

353
00:39:23,159 --> 00:39:27,720
Behind these excellent musicians
come two giant ostriches

354
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:30,399
dragging a glittering golden tulip

355
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:34,760
in which sits a tiny old man
with a long grey beard.

356
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,479
Instead of a hat, his head is adorned
with a silver funnel.

357
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,800
The old man reads from a large book,

358
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,960
having settled a pair
of square spectacles on his nose,

359
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:52,840
Behind him come 10 oddly dressed Moors
with long spears and short swords.

360
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,039
He can turn a phrase!

361
00:39:55,159 --> 00:39:59,880
Every time an old man turns a page
in his book, he squeals:

362
00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:02,239
Kuri-pire-ksi-li-ni!

362
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,200
And the Moors answer loudly:

363
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:08,720
Bram-bure-bil-alamonsa-kiki-bura-son-ton!

364
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:10,680
A bit scary, and a bit much.

365
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,279
All together now!
Kuri-pire-ksi-li-ni!

366
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:21,239
Bram-bure-bil-alamonsa-kiki-
bura-son-ton!

367
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,119
Look! Look! It's begun!
They're coming!

368
00:40:26,359 --> 00:40:28,920
What's that thunder?
The ground is shaking!

369
00:40:32,279 --> 00:40:35,119
The crowd!
- The same Moors with curved sabers!

370
00:40:35,479 --> 00:40:37,880
And the old fellow with the funnel!

371
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:39,920
It's them!

307
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:41,320
The very same...

308
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,840
There's your balderdash.

309
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,120
It's those very unicorns and Moors!

374
00:40:47,319 --> 00:40:52,840
A dark science!
- Our Ernst has put on quite a show.

375
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,760
He can see the future!
- We'll pay with our heads for this!

376
00:40:58,359 --> 00:41:00,640
These visions smell of witchcraft!

377
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,159
Horror!

378
00:41:06,359 --> 00:41:11,600
An invasion of bloodthirsty Moors
against our unfortunate Burghers!

379
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:16,439
He can see the future!

380
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,560
Is Herr Ernst in?

381
00:41:26,319 --> 00:41:30,199
- Up in the attic.
- Now we'll play a little trick.

382
00:41:42,079 --> 00:41:43,159
There now.

383
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,319
It's her again.

384
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,680
Or not her?

385
00:42:01,199 --> 00:42:03,359
A curious transformation.

386
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,359
Did she not appear to me
in the Elderberry Tree?

387
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:25,480
You'll hear of me yet!

388
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:33,680
Fool! Fool!
Your place is in glass, in glass!

389
00:42:34,279 --> 00:42:35,920
Go away, old witch!

390
00:42:37,039 --> 00:42:38,359
This is better.

391
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:44,439
I am delighted, Herr Anselmus,
that you have finally come to me.

392
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,000
I know that fatal being all too well,

393
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:54,520
the fruit of chance love between a black
dragon feather and a rotten beet root.

394
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,560
She despises me and devises various tricks,

395
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:06,200
and on this occasion became a doorknob
to deny me a pleasant visit.

396
00:43:15,199 --> 00:43:20,239
Herr Student, Herr Student,
whence come ye?

397
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,880
And why such fancy clothes?

398
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:35,199
You make a comic sight, in your
incomparable wig and paper boots.

399
00:43:35,319 --> 00:43:38,760
Do you approve
of my modest winter garden?

400
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,000
Oh, my God...

401
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:45,760
It is excellent beyond all measure,
most honorable Herr Archivarius!

402
00:43:46,319 --> 00:43:51,680
But... the motley bird laughs too much
at my lowliness.

403
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,640
What deceit is this?

404
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,760
Here is your workplace.

405
00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:35,680
Go on, dear boy.
Serpentina will help you.

406
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,479
I understood that I was speaking
with the Prince of Spirits

407
00:44:43,199 --> 00:44:50,039
who now retired to his study
to converse with emissaries

408
00:44:50,159 --> 00:44:52,000
from some other planet.

409
00:44:55,279 --> 00:44:58,399
It befits me to begin work.

410
00:45:00,199 --> 00:45:01,640
Dear Anselmus.

411
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,359
Serpentina!
Dear Serpentina!

412
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:11,680
Dear Anselmus,

413
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,720
I have come this minute
to relate some particulars

414
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,159
regarding my father and myself.

415
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:24,520
Know, dearest, that my father hails
from the wondrous tribe of Salamanders.

416
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,319
He lived in the magical country
of Atlantis,

417
00:45:27,439 --> 00:45:30,239
where reigned the powerful Prince
of Spirits Phosphor,

418
00:45:30,319 --> 00:45:32,560
served by the spirits of all elements.

419
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:42,560
Among the gardens of magical Atlantis

420
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:51,920
my youthful father once roamed

421
00:45:53,479 --> 00:46:01,319
and in the basin of a flower
saw a snakelet.

422
00:46:04,039 --> 00:46:05,359
Just as it was with us.

423
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,840
You remember, Serpentina?

424
00:46:11,319 --> 00:46:19,199
How I met you in the Elderberry bushes

425
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:25,560
and how tenderly you looked at me.

426
00:46:28,279 --> 00:46:33,720
Stop, Anselmus!
We talk now of father!

427
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,840
The Emperor of Spirits
did not allow the Salamander

428
00:46:40,039 --> 00:46:43,920
to unite with his beloved.
But father...

429
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:52,239
Father forgot
that his passion could consume,

430
00:46:52,319 --> 00:46:55,960
and engulfed his beloved in flame.

431
00:46:58,399 --> 00:47:02,520
It will be different with us.

432
00:47:04,039 --> 00:47:10,199
My love is like unto a light breeze.

433
00:47:11,720 --> 00:47:20,480
The curse upon my father
will be lifted...

434
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,480
...as soon as I...

435
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:34,680
...find a heart's companion...

436
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:42,480
...with an innocent, unblemished...

437
00:47:43,720 --> 00:47:47,000
...childlike soul.

438
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,560
O, my Serpentina!

439
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,039
I will love thee forever.

440
00:47:57,159 --> 00:47:59,479
Kind Herr Anselmus,

441
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:04,279
you do indeed posses
great abilities in calligraphy.

442
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:08,880
Serpentina loves you.

443
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:10,199
Be true to her,

444
00:48:10,319 --> 00:48:14,279
and you will know
the glorious miracles of the golden pot

445
00:48:14,439 --> 00:48:17,640
and be happy for ages to come.

446
00:48:18,279 --> 00:48:21,560
I expect you tomorrow at noon sharp!

447
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:29,720
Again she appears!

448
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:36,240
It is as if some force
unexpectedly draws me

449
00:48:34,159 --> 00:48:35,720
to this unknown lady.

450
00:48:38,279 --> 00:48:42,159
Calm! Calm!
- Hey! Hey!

451
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,439
Venerable Herr Ernst! Amice!
My friend!

452
00:48:53,199 --> 00:48:54,439
Pleased to see you.

453
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,079
Allow me to introduce my daughter,
Olympia.

454
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,760
I'm charmed to meet you!

455
00:49:08,119 --> 00:49:09,560
Herr Paulmann.

456
00:49:10,279 --> 00:49:13,319
Would you care to join us
for a jaunt on the river?

457
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,039
I'd be delighted.

458
00:49:26,319 --> 00:49:27,239
Charming!

459
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:35,640
Charming!

460
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,640
Can you not see us swimming before you?

461
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:47,800
My sisterkin are looking at you.
Believe, believe in us!

462
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,520
Mein Herr, you're possessed!

463
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:06,640
Is something disturbing you, mein Herr?
Leave it be! Leave it be!

464
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:11,760
I propose we put back a glass
of my good old punch.

465
00:50:25,439 --> 00:50:27,840
More! More!

466
00:50:49,479 --> 00:50:51,039
It works!

467
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,119
My beautiful, speechless creature,

468
00:51:28,359 --> 00:51:32,359
you are a ray from the distant,
promised land of love.

469
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:44,160
It starts to seem to me
that you...

470
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:45,760
...only you...

471
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:50,000
...you alone truly understand me.

472
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,239
Spin, my doll!

473
00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:07,479
What an unusually lively chat
you've been having with my daughter.

474
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,359
My good Herr Ernst,

475
00:52:09,439 --> 00:52:15,000
if you so enjoy speaking
with this timid maiden,

476
00:52:15,019 --> 00:52:18,039
I'll always be delighted to see you
in my home.

477
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:21,000
But of course!

478
00:52:40,159 --> 00:52:41,079
My girl!

479
00:53:00,119 --> 00:53:02,079
No, no!

480
00:53:18,119 --> 00:53:19,680
Stop! Stop!

481
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:23,079
Let go, buffon!

482
00:53:23,399 --> 00:53:26,199
Let go, let go,
you vile scoundrel!

483
00:53:26,319 --> 00:53:30,439
Cursed dog, stupid tinkerer!

484
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,520
I, it was I who created the mechanism
that drives her!

485
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,680
But I made the eyes!

486
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,079
Away from here!
- Let go!

487
00:53:39,720 --> 00:53:41,000
Be gone!
- Let go!

488
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,119
Go away!
- Let go!

489
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,900
Perhaps I myself am to blame
for this calamity.

490
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:20,239
I committed a sin against you,
my glorious, beloved Serpentina!

491
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:27,239
Did I not lose my faith and with it all
that could bring me higher happiness?

492
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,480
You will never be mine now.

493
00:54:33,359 --> 00:54:35,760
Good evening!

494
00:54:38,279 --> 00:54:41,119
Can I find Herr Ernst here?

495
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,840
Serpentina! My Serpentina!

496
00:55:23,279 --> 00:55:26,439
It seems you were fain
to call for my daughter?

497
00:55:27,119 --> 00:55:33,439
But she is at the other side
of the house, at her music lesson.

498
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:35,359
Let us move along.

499
00:55:53,560 --> 00:56:00,000
One wrong line or, God forbid,
an ink spot on the original

500
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,159
will bring woe upon you.

501
00:56:25,720 --> 00:56:34,680
Madman, suffer now the punishment
for what thou hast so irreverently done!

502
00:56:54,119 --> 00:56:57,479
My kind Sirs, brothers in my misery,

503
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:02,439
how can you remain so unconcerned,
nay even pleased?

504
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:08,159
Don't you know you're sitting
in corked glass jars, as in a prison!

505
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:09,960
You, mein Herr, are babbling.

506
00:57:10,119 --> 00:57:12,000
We are not in the least hindered

507
00:57:12,079 --> 00:57:15,039
from going to Joseph's
or other taverns on a daily basis,

508
00:57:15,119 --> 00:57:21,399
relishing strong ale, frequenting other
amusing establishments, or looking at girls.

509
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,920
We've never felt better than now.

510
00:57:25,119 --> 00:57:27,039
It's quiet and relaxing here,

511
00:57:27,399 --> 00:57:30,159
but there's a bell
ringing in your head again.

512
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,840
Ringing!

513
00:57:34,199 --> 00:57:39,520
They have never known what freedom
and life there is in faith and love.

514
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,399
They have never seen
the wondrous Serpentina!

515
00:57:42,479 --> 00:57:51,560
Anselmus! Believe, love, hope!
Believe, love, hope!

516
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,319
You ended up in glass!

517
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,960
Sit and rot there! In glass!

518
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,520
Leave me, devil's spawn!

519
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:14,239
Only your hellish games
drove me to sin.

520
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,560
I betrayed Serpentina.

521
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:19,360
Now I must redeem myself.

522
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:26,399
I'm a bird and fly like a bird.
Moldy parchments make me sick.

523
00:58:27,039 --> 00:58:29,199
How lovely I look!

524
00:58:32,159 --> 00:58:36,880
Mine! My golden pot!

525
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:42,079
Devilish delusions.
Away from here!

526
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,800
Take this!

527
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:52,640
It hurts!

528
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,359
Dearest Anselmus,
an all-destroying evil

529
00:59:07,479 --> 00:59:11,640
strove to invade your soul
and divide you against yourself.

530
00:59:12,079 --> 00:59:17,800
But you have proven your faithfulness:
be free and happy!

531
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:24,279
Now you can write about all that
you have seen.

532
00:59:24,439 --> 00:59:27,439
It will be a magnificent book.

533
00:59:31,159 --> 00:59:37,720
How deeply in my soul did I feel
the blessedness of Anselmus.

534
00:59:39,279 --> 00:59:42,479
He has united with his dear Serpentina,

535
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,179
has withdrawn to the mysterious kingdom

536
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:51,600
for which his soul, full of strange hopes
and premonitions, had yearned so long.

537
00:59:48,399 --> 00:59:51,199
full of strange aspirations
and intimations!

538
00:59:54,439 --> 00:59:58,039
But in vain have I tried
to set before you

539
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,760
even a hint of the glories
that now surround Anselmus.

540
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:17,000
Looking over these 11
successfully completed chapters,

541
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,159
I have been greatly tortured
by the thought

542
01:00:20,239 --> 01:00:24,279
that I'll never be able to add the 12th
and final chapter.

543
01:00:32,159 --> 01:00:34,760
Lookie here, what's he scribbling?

544
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,239
Yuck, the text isn't tasty.

545
01:00:42,479 --> 01:00:45,920
I'm here.
Forward!

546
01:00:48,279 --> 01:00:49,680
Pathetic Nutcracker!

547
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,560
My cohort! Surround him!

548
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:09,680
All against one.

549
01:01:14,239 --> 01:01:15,439
We're in trouble!

550
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:19,239
Attack!

551
01:01:22,279 --> 01:01:26,760
Get ready, you silly fool!
- And you, chancellery scum!

552
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:30,880
My saber!

553
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:32,520
Permit me.

554
01:01:42,399 --> 01:01:43,359
Run away!

555
01:01:45,059 --> 01:01:48,260
I am a cavalier of the Order
of the Green-Spotted Tiger!

556
01:01:50,139 --> 01:01:52,399
I'm drowning in a chamber pot.

557
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:16,560
Venerable Herr Ernst Theodor
Amadeus Hoffmann,

558
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,279
it is my understanding
that you have became a famous writer

559
01:02:20,439 --> 01:02:22,199
and have set down in 11 chapters

560
01:02:22,319 --> 01:02:26,239
the singular fortunes
of my good son-in-law, Anselmus,

561
01:02:26,319 --> 01:02:29,399
formerly a student, presently a poet;

562
01:02:29,479 --> 01:02:30,600
and that currently
you are racking your brains

563
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:36,760
over how to write the 12th and final chapter
about his happy life in Atlantis,

564
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,079
where he now lives with my daughter.

565
01:02:40,319 --> 01:02:44,319
With greatest esteem,
Your humble servant,

566
01:02:44,439 --> 01:02:46,680
The Salamander Lindhorst,

567
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,479
Archivarius
of the Secret Royal Archives.

568
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:08,159
I am extremely glad
you have not refused my sincere offer.

569
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:14,479
Sip a bit of this burning arrack,
to which I've added a little sugar,

570
01:03:15,319 --> 01:03:17,279
and while you writing,

571
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:23,359
I shall just bob up and down
in the goblet for my own amusement,

572
01:03:23,479 --> 01:03:24,600
bob up and down.

573
01:03:26,199 --> 01:03:28,319
Hark! Hark unto us!

574
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,159
We are joy and blessedness
and the ecstasy of love!

575
01:03:34,279 --> 01:03:35,359
The ecstasy of love!

576
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:49,199
My love!
The Lily has opened its blossom.

577
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,800
The highest of desires
has been fulfilled!

578
01:03:52,159 --> 01:03:55,840
Is there a happiness equal to ours?

579
01:04:00,439 --> 01:04:01,800
Happy is Anselmus,

580
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,199
who has thrown off the yoke
of everyday life,

581
01:04:04,279 --> 01:04:08,119
who blessedly and joyously lives
in his Atlantis.

582
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,960
While I, in just a few minutes,

583
01:04:13,119 --> 01:04:17,319
must quit this fair chamber
and magical lilac-colored table.

584
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,279
I will find myself in my attic cell
on the 5th floor,

585
01:04:22,079 --> 01:04:26,359
where my mind will be ruled
by the dim pettiness of existence.

586
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,279
Enough, enough venerable Herr!

587
01:04:29,399 --> 01:04:30,800
Don't complain so!

588
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:34,840
Were you yourself not just in Atlantis?

589
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:42,640
Do you not possess all of its charms
within the poetic realm of your own mind?

590
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:48,079
Can that have been anything less
than life in poesy?

591
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:08,680
We are your children, bard,
None are happier by far,

592
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:16,600
It is our destiny
To live for eternity.

593
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:24,319
As your pen traced
Across the page,

594
01:05:24,399 --> 01:05:32,800
You became our Papa, our Mama,
You alone did give us life.

595
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,760
Greetings to you: masks,
periwigs and hairpieces

596
01:05:38,159 --> 01:05:42,840
Garments for actors and actresses!

597
01:05:43,319 --> 01:05:52,960
Long live the magical, hidden,

598
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,240
- Oh, is that how it is? Gnaw it, lads!
- Mysterious and strange backstage world!

599
01:05:54,159 --> 01:06:04,159
Long live the magical, hidden,
secretive and strange backstage world!

600
01:06:06,279 --> 01:06:14,000
The spectator will rave
If he's kind, in delight,

601
01:06:14,239 --> 01:06:21,840
If he's wicked, then he'll ponder
His own sorry plight.

602
01:06:22,239 --> 01:06:29,640
But both good and bad
When spectacle's through

603
01:06:30,039 --> 01:06:33,960
Will clap for me and clap for you.

604
01:06:34,199 --> 01:06:38,720
And cry: Hoffmann, Hurrah!

605
01:06:48,119 --> 01:06:49,319
