    Summary

    Tedesco is a patriarch, unrelenting, stuck in the past, cherries and booming voice preceding his appearance.
    There’s nothing soft or gentle about him, and sometimes Aldo does wonder—had there been a time when it hadn’t been so? Had he always been so strict, so angry? Had he ever been sweet?

     

    Aldo Bellini and Goffredo Tedesco drive down to Matera, the Patriarch's hometown.

    In the city of stones, nothing ever really changes.

     

    Act I, Italienne—Matera, ouverture.

    Act II, Tedesco—Bord de mer.

    Summary

    “You are not well,” Salvador returns. “You are overflowing with…” he pauses to search for the word and he finds it, “grief. You’re grieving. It has hollowed you out.”

     

    “I have nothing to grieve for.”

     

    “You’re lying, Thomas.”

    Summary

    If this is the end, he welcomes it. This fight has been too long, too hard. He’s tired. Even without regret, his grief weighs on him, too heavy to bear alone, even in the bright light of a new dawn.

    He’s eager for relief.

    Maybe, he thinks, he’ll even see Burt again. Wouldn’t that be nice?
