notice how princess de Lamballe was replaced by Duchess of Polignac (comparing to the first opera) - that means Marie Antoinette favored her

It was a good choice to deleted. The contrast between the 2 opera scenes is really important in the movie. But It was beautiful as always..

Kirsten Dunst is a goddess. From being the iconic red-haired girlfriend of Spider man to the spoiled youngest March daughter in Little Women to the opulent spendthrift queen of France in the Age Of Absolutism what can't Kirsten do??

German opera in german language was a new thing. Before operas were thought to come in two languages: italian and french. Marie Antoinette's brother wanted an opera in his language and hired talents like Mozart to do that. The idea was scoffed by the opera snobs at the time. Opera was thought to be noble and making it in the language of anything else than the "galant ones" was thought to cheapen it.

And still Her Majesty Queen Marie Antionette was the patronage of Art and Music ,,, R.I.P 💔😢 You are still live in my heart 😔

Ha! 0:33 let me use that scroll as a telescope

One of the operas I need to see live

i love it thank you

There is no such thing as too much Opera

very good , loved it !

Yep, it’s like they always say “When the Queen sneezes the court gets a cold!”

its a good scene

Thank you for sharing these! Can you post in HD?

i didn't get any of these scenes on my special feature dvd

At 1:12 the complaining man shoots a dirty look directly at the viewer, for eavesdropping on the slander.

This is at the Trianon theater at Versailles. The daughter of the Holy Roman Empress likes German opera. Gluck came to Paris in the 1770s from Vienna. The Queen was his patron. He is considered to be responsible for causing a revolution in French opera. He left Paris in disgust in 1779 after the failure of his opera Echo et Narcisse. Ten years later there was another kind of revolution in France. First we see Louis use the rolled paper as a telescope; then we see him using an opera glass. Then we see the Empress reading Mercy's report at the Hofburg in Vienna.

Realmente hace que tome mas fuerza la tercera escena de la opera, pero bueno es cierto un poco innecesaria

@isanerdfighter directors and everyone always have to make tough decisions...but that's what special features are for :D

00:29

This Paltrow looks nothing like Marie Antoinette.

o Orfeu é uma gladiadora?

All those lavish robes, the Opéra scenography...and what she did? She just cut this wonderful scene, although it was unnecessary. Meh.
