You know the music

So happy as in this Auffhrung

How to know Majesty,

The militrische Aufrstung our state

Fri the welfare of my people I have already made a decision.
Soon will transform the wonders of poetry
and the music throughout Bavaria.
The creator of "Lohengrin"

How? Richard Wagner?
- Yes.
But Majesty, he is
a Revolutionr.
He wanted strzen the
monarch in Dresden!
Your Excellency,
I have white,
that you were minister there and drove him to flight.
But it is now back to results
already twenty years.
I'm sure the only
what today counts in Richard Wagner's life,
- this is the art.
- Art?
Majesty, Wagner
is obsessed!
He poisons everything
he touches.
Through him to Majesty
issued in big danger.
It's my job to protect the state
,
and I will not tolerate anyone,
knnte cause of the riots in our country.
Gentle

What you want from me?

The confidence of Majesty honors me about the Maen

but this task is a must
Exceptional challenge.
I do not know I think the

A music lover is not a

Mr. Lutz,

And this is only
the beginning.

In lhren works ...
I have found the beloved of me

The first Opernauffhrung my life

Since my childhood, the Grail Knight
lived in my dreaming.
By Her work he took

You spoke to my heart

And you smell still

Your level is obviously

This will be easy for me,
to stop you,
me to put them behind bars.
Kick back to results immediately.
You're nothing more than a vile

If the art of the world determines,

And Majesty is the first Souvern

And now

(Playful
music)
You're sitting on horseback
almost better than I do!
No, Louis, in the
saddle I'm the best!
For us, the political
situation is catastrophic.
You have to Franz-Josef
open the eyes.
He is Austria
strzen into ruin,
if he einlsst to a war with
Preuen.
Wait, Elisabeth,
I open his eyes?
Come on, your husband always thinks just
like a soldier.
Even Bismarck will not hesitate to make
to take up arms.
He wants to expel Austria from
the German Confederation.
If he succeeds,
is your Bavaria also be affected.
I do not understand
that you these singers from Vienna ...
In such a gefhrlichen time are so important.
- Elisabeth,
look at times.
Our old lime.
Just as this tree is
the art ... Thrive
in Bavaria
and grow.
Later, as the wind will carry the seeds into the
Nachbarlnder ... Spread
and the peaceful message of Art
all over the world.
If you want to make your people happy,
give him freedom.
- This is what it craves.
- You talk me out of the soul, Elisabeth!
In peace and happiness to my people live,
and that is freedom.
You Varies you.
I see happiness in your eyes?
I am the encounter love,
dearest cousin.
For the first time in my life.
The Love? Erzhl me.
Which princess has captured your heart?
It's not a
rincess.
It is the Emperor
of art.
His power knows
no bounds.
And his people is the
whole of humanity.
We will collaborate on the world
call of beauty to life,
it has never been
done before.
And you, my dear cousin,
you need to help us.
If Richard Wagner
you so beflgelt,
why are you allowed all of his revolutionary
comrades from back then ...
Still vegetate in
your prisons?
(Music is
ramatic)
Elizabeth.
Come on
Elisabeth, look, will you?

A utopia eternal

You are willing to die for this idea.
This has auch'n abyss that is not only beautiful.
The whole thing is
A big breath.
And it inspires you. Mutually.
When thinking.
You look only forward.
Everyone in his parallel world.

(Wagner sings)
Without fear ...
(Sings)
Like the eye, full of ...
(Exciting

Cross hail, thunder!
Damn you guy! Let go of me!
Thank God you were only
slightly injured.
I have ordered police
director Pfeufer,
find out instantly
who's behind it.
He certainly will not
find the culprit.
He can not arrest
his own people.
Majesty, do not ignore the
Malicious strength of my opponents.
Your art will disarm
Their enemies.
No, no, that's not
just about me.
This is a conspiracy
to Majesty ...
To prevent them from creating new Progressive
peaceful world.
And when I think about it further,
then I come to the conclusion that
there is only
ever one way:
Fire All Their
Prime!
- And above all of the Pfordten!
- Mr. Wagner,
I can understand
Their panic.
But wait only once from the premiere.
You will see
is the Urauffhrung only managed
the situation will calm down.
Majesty, I do not sleep.
Since no more days.
I know not
at all,
I like the samples should weiterfhren in this state

I have to
give up.
The premiere will
take place.

Wagner has won
my Bavaria.
I was sure from
the beginning.
No other music says so much about from love.
Is not it the most beautiful
what you have ever heard?
I know myself with opera not so good,
but the music was impressive.
- Yes!
- Impressive, but also sad.
But why
sad?
Since so much joy lies in the last words of lsolde,
when it unites
with Tristan.
"Highest pleasure,"
she sings.
It is free
now.
Free of ev
rything.
And they can finally
experience love.
The pure
love.
Stay close to derTr,

rain and snow
also diamonds wrden fall.
Or at least a piece
of chocolate.
You are the first
to see the drfen!
You'll be the pioneer of an electricity
in Bavaria.
The premiere was wonderful,
Ludwig. Thank you.
But you httest your enchanted Mnchnern

You are fled

How to find your
people, who are you?
You are far but, shouting and cheering as
gives me a headache.
Hm

As a mild summer night
on Rose Island.
How it would be if
we tomorrow ...
Wrden celebrate this success together
on Rose Island?
Without me. I gotta back
to results to Vienna.
Urgent. Franz-Josef has
telegraphed to me.
It smells of war. l am worried.
Large worries.
Depart ye, depart,
her TBCs thoughts!
Elisabeth, I correspond at regular
Abstnden with the King of Preuen.
He will not dare to escalate the conflict with Austria
.
But Bis

It really wre a grace of God,

Since all the dignity a groes
misfortune spared us.

God's grace can win tonight
Wagner's music.
- God is also this ...
- You, Louis, you can win his music!
The good God
will help me.
And guide my steps
on the path of peace.
You need to have no
fear, Elizabeth.
You will not lose your kingdom.
L working on it day and night ...
No! Light!
Instant light!
Majesty, it's only a
matter of seconds.
Richard Wagner then
you have found,
and majesty is now
for you be found?
I respect only to
the royal will.
Majesty need nature to
schpfen for strength.
Do I understand
well.
On the hunt even I can personally think
best.
Not gengend, Mr. Kabinettssekretr.
Not gengend, it seems to me.
Do you mean in all seriousness,
you bruchten in these troubled days ...
No powerful
king?
Yes, because wages sent is not aware
that in these "moving days",
has nmlich since Friday
extremely aggravated the crisis?
Because no decisions
could be taken.
Due to the absence of majesty.
This must just imagine it!
I ask you a King is not blo
Under a typewriter ...
In the hands of his ministers.
- Yes, yes, yes, you're right, Mr. Lutz.
Still, he is a very fatal influence under
.
In short, if Majesty
continue to stay away from Munich,
then threatens our country
in the gegenwrtigen unstable situation ...
An absolute
disaster.
Majesty know
his duties.
Your tongue is
pointed, Mr. Lutz.
Take care
take care not to violate it.
If Majesttnchste week
the state legislature not erffnen,
then I'll make you personally
DAFR responsible.
And from today I will
take over the search itself.

Majesty, has Preuen Austria
issued an ultimatum.
Minister of the
Pfordten asks tell
that will take place Most likely a war within
the German Confederation.
Ludwig, I beg you,
returning to Munich back to results.
You're at a crossroads
verhngnisvollen.
Your power you'll can only claim
if you sttzen minister,
which you can
trust.
But it's not yet
too late.
If you now hltst your
speech from the throne,
then you can post your ideas
represent clear.
And then you callest a new ministry,
which you can use to prevent the war.
I told you here a few names
written by Mnnern,
I think ideally suited fr,
to replace your current ministers.
It's just a
uggestion.
Rich
rd
new minister will not make the construction of our
festival theater possible.
It's not about music, it's about war.
To downfall.
(Ludwig)
l will not accept
that Austria is excluded from Preuen
from the German Confederation.
There will be no civil war in
Germany.
Not with
me!
I have been in contact with the peace party in
Berlin.
I'll untersttzen.
If ntig, with money.
The peace party to Bismarck
under pressure.
He must give up his
impertinent war intentions.
You, gentlemen
...
Who want to tell me
for the construction of this theater ...
Is no money
vailable.
The state treasury was empty,
you have complained.
Fri these disgusting war you are willing to spend huge sums
.
I tell
you, no!
(Murm

Under any circumstances I will grant the mobilization of our army.
It's that
simple!
For your world!
Peace!
Majesty have worked again all night. Hm?
- There is so much to Mayr.
- Yes. There is so much to.
Outside, at the Odeon Square
students demonstrate for peace.
You want the same

"Peace not only for Bayern,
also for the whole world," they cry.
Majesty just has a
lot of friends.
Thank
ou.
Oh, the

Let me t

Tell me how to
proceed for that?
The campaign of defamation of your gentlemen Minister against me,
which is always unertrglicher.

the new weapons of our army in the bag.

You want to force me to mobilize the army

All the courtiers

my negotiations with Preuen have failed.
In addition, the current protest against
Richard Wagner threatens to degenerate ...
And must be stopped

In times of war danger can our country

Now that the war is in front of our doors,

He must get away from here.
He will kill you otherwise, my boy.

Why my mind is made up:
Richard Wagner must

Believe

Otherwise we risk that
it comes to even more brutal Itten.
What are you

You treat me like a lackey,

I am afraid for you.
Your life is in danger.

But now he is

In my heart, you reign as

I am extremely
satisfied, Majesty.
Although we have lost the war against Preuen
,
we must cede nothing
of our country.
Only the protection and Trutzbndnis
is required of Bismarck.
You find it so unreasonable that my army should be to Verfgung
,
if Preuen leads
a war?
Yes. It is a good
compromise.
So I want my hated enemy

Explain to my best
friend tomorrow?
In addition, give up one of my main

Why do you want:

Let him continue building face

It can only be in the
interest of Bayern,

The Bavarian state
parliament should ...
One or two percent of the state budget Majesty

wren then the financial problems solved.
- No, certainly not.
But if you, Your

as German Chancellor

I have to disappoint you, Mr. Lutz.
But this is a purely Bavarian affair.
We will not let us involve in this matter

You're all fired!

What are you

Without the consent of Majesty
Never give anything Varies here!
Now you fit exactly on time,

The Bavarian State Parliament and the Ministry

Neither the state legislature nor drfen

And make the further course of the state machine

Show me the

Does it have written
lackey Mayr?
Maybe not only written,
but also written.
It is therefore not at all sure whether
these statements of majesty come from?
And the worst thing is that my contact
to Majesty ...
only takes place over this type of letter
,
Mayr allowed to
come to me.
Pragmatically this lackey
is now the mchtigste man in our state.
Can be more increase
this absurdity?
Ludwig has always verfgt
about a lot of imagination.
I have sworn Majesty
loyalty and obedience.
But you can maintain loyalty
to a Unzurechnungsfhigen?
Only radical
steps ...
can the Bavarian monarchy
save it from total collapse.
Ludwig is the king
