#𝐃𝐎𝐋𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐎𝐍𝐎  ❛ they have asked me what it is to sing—I struggle to explain it’s like a prayer, that moment on the stage before you share whatever waits inside you [...] yours is the trust to bring a dormant poet face to face with living spirits, shake away the dust. and when belief enlivens every note, then genius speaks unaided from your throat.  ❜

too many shows/films set in the 18th century are too chicken to embrace the full wackadoodle 18th century hair. and it's a shame.

" 𝑶𝑹𝑭𝑬𝑶 𝑬𝑫 𝑬𝑼𝑹𝑰𝑫𝑰𝑪𝑬, the Opera performed last night at the King's Theatre in the Haymarket, has one or twice before been seen upon the English Stage, though undoubtedly not to such great effect. Firstly of note is the music by Herr Gluck, many of whose Airs were not heard when last the work was mounted. The present Managers of the Opera, however, have had the good sense to restore the more Notable pieces, much to the Delight and Appreciation of the audience. The new Dresses were not an improvement over those last seen, some already displaying an unacceptable Shabbiness of appearance. One wonders if money would not have been better spent on Costume than on the fees of a Certain Prestigious Italian who claimed illness and declined to appear. Signor Roncaglia's illness was no doubt worsened by the Success of his replacement, young Signor Luchini. He sang with clear and brilliant tone, set off to great effect by the music. He holds great Promise, though not if the affectedness of his acting does not improve in future endeavors. Signora Gabrielli as Euridice demonstrated that previous high estimations of her Powers were not mistaken. Though the piece did not allow her full exercise of her talents, she brought a true Pathos to the role. Also of note was a Sight but rarely enjoyed on the boards of the King's Theatre - an Englishwoman in full command of Italian Opera. Miss Hughes took the part of Amore, and with strong voice and pleasing figure, charmed all with her effective portrayal. We hope to see more of her in future Seasons, for who would not wish to witness the English Rose triumph over the Italian Lily? " -- Excerpted from The Public Advertiser, 7 February, 1779

BARBIE AS THE PRINCESS AND THE PAUPER PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue from the 2004 film, adjust as necessary

all my life, i've always wanted to have one day just for me.

what do you think i'm running here?

keep laughing!

i've already paid off more than half!

what would it be like to be free?

oh and look! another engagement gift!

i know. it's my duty.

it is the only way to take care of our people.

you would think that i'm so lucky that i have so many things.

can i come along?

i'll never stop believing.

what idiot put this in here?

you're back... here... early.

how can i refuse?

the moment that i get back, i will show them who's the boss.

oh please. having delusions again?

[name], you are quite sure about this?

why the sudden formality? it's just me.

there's nothing like some fresh air and a change of scenery.

i wish it were that simple.

so which one was your house?

we couldn't afford a house.

mm, that smells delicious.

did you really think you could make a living as a singer?

what's your name?

aren't you supposed to be inside the castle?

i'd rather be in my library reading science books all day.

i'm just like you.

i made the one you're wearing.

i completely understand.

we could be twins!

i'll take my chances!

i haven't seen you around here before.

i don't think we run in the same circles, but... perhaps we can change that.

i'll send someone for you.

i command you to unlock this door!

i can't believe they won't let me in there.

think you could get me up to the roof?

i am simply not going to look at myself.

well, this is dreadful.

what would i do without you?

i insist we cancel the wedding.

are you out of your mind?

would you look at the size of this place!

i don't know a thing about being a princess.

there's a time and place and way for everything.

oh! you're back! where have you been?

promise me you'll never do it again.

you mean you cheated!

how did she escape?

get out of that bed!

you're supposed to have all the answers.

i beg your pardon!

not another word! you're coming with me!

how dare you speak to her that way!

now shut up and get back to work!

this is going to be a long night.

we can't give ourselves away!

look at all this food! want some?

i didn't want to marry a stranger any more than she did.

what's wrong? are you sick? something in your throat?

i love you the way you are and that will never change.

i can't let you do this all by yourself.

something tells me you have a wonderful voice.

would you do us the honor of playing the piano?

i'll stay by your side if you love me for me.

there's something about you... you're honest. no pretenses. i like that.

i think i'm falling in love with the king.

you can tell me everything on the way to the castle.

how sad they'll be when they discover you died in a tragic accident.

everything seems to be in order.

get your hands off me!

what proof do you have of this ridiculous story?

i don't believe it.

it doesn't make sense.

marry me, for how can you refuse?

i was in love with somebody else. my best friend.

i can't give you what he can.

we'll get out of here somehow, i promise.

you do love disguises, don't you?

nice to see you again.

now who has nowhere to go?

it is our duty to take care of our people first.

i hope you'll take this with you.

it was meant for you.

when you live your dream, you'll find that destiny is written in your heart.

                          and you can see it in her eyes.

the scarlet pimpernel ( 1982 ), dir. clive donner. change pronouns as needed.

i beg of you.

do you know the rendezvous?

our world is topsy-turvy.

then why do we look the other way and pretend nothing is happening?

don't you think your methods are slightly harsh?

it would seem your friend is in distress.

you'll be superb!

anyone would have done as much.

we must get you home to bed.

his heart too often leads his head.

is love, too, a crime these days?

will i not see you again?

how could you be so rude?

you've executed men for less.

revolutions are never bloodless.

you are even more beautiful than i recall, if that is possible.

you see i'm a bit of a poet, and you did not know it.

you must tell me all about yourself, in all detail.

you move too fast.

i'd sooner trust a snake.

i give you my word, no harm will come to you.

i shall be back in time for supper.

you used me.

what have i done?

you have no right to pry into my personal affairs.

why i do believe you're jealous?

it amazes me how a woman of your taste and intelligence could tolerate such a fool.

the one thing you must never doubt is my sincerity.

you must be very much like your mother.

it appears we have both misjudged one another.

isn't it wonderful?

you made inquiries?

they say she only married him for his money.

she has blood on her hands.

this is no trial. and you are no judge.

will you say nothing, sir?

there are times when i think that he still loves me.

these pinch something monstrous.

perhaps there's no more to know.

i dare not risk it.

i shall love her till the day i die.

a man in your position should not listen to gossip.

have you come here to be impertinent?

i was good enough for you once.

kindly state your business.

i advise you to keep silent.

i must have been daydreaming.

in that gown, you'll be the belle of the ball.

the man can't even tie his own cravat.

why aren't you the kind of man a woman can look up to?

are you in trouble?

i shall expect you to dance every dance with me.

i do feel devilish lucky tonight.

i don't know what came over me.

i only need to close my eyes for a moment or two.

do not turn around.

you are a very brave woman for coming here.

i'm a fool.

how can you be so unfeeling?

you don't even know the meaning of love.

i should never have allowed you to come along.

i can only pray that i'm doing the right thing.

a fair exchange, don't you think?

he takes you for a fool.

any trickery, and they die.

allow her to go free.

let me die with you.

i'm not afraid to die.

alas, a moment was all i could spare.

well, finish it off!

do you lack the courage?

i always like to give a man a sporting chance.
