Students: We're here to learn
from the agead masters.
An education... experience.
To see the universe in a way
To "feel the universe"
A new apprentice is arriving today
We don't want the boy from Vinci
to be here showing us,
telling us...

Leonardo: "What you see, I can already see"

Chorus: Leonardo - Notebooks full of design

Verrocchio: Masterpiece and invention!

Chorus: never finished in time

Melzi: One day this absolute man...

Chorus: from his circle of mirrors will give...

Melzi: His own gift to the ages -

Melzi & Verrocchio: Leonardo...

Students: Our renaissance is a marriage -
art and science
A science of art
Will DaVinci learn well 'his' universe?
... in a way to paint this universe?

Verrocchio: Goldsmith, artist, engineer
Sculpture, mathematics, optics and mechanics

Salai: Philosophy...

Melzi: A genius of the anatomy

Chorus: Leonardo - Canvas covered with light

Verrocchio: Painting Christ with precision

Chorus: John The Baptist divine!

Salai: Jealous, the teacher admits...

Chorus: that this protege surpassed him
and must...

Verrocchio, Melzi & Salai: stand alone
as a master -

Verrochio: Leonardo....

Leonardo: I should leave for Milan now...
I've had enough here
I can't take this
I've been accused of crimes
"I'm not sacred"
Your honor, give me names
of the accusers in my desperate hour
Tell me, where are the now?
I want names, I want names.

Court: "They're anonymus"

Leonardo: I want names!

Court: "But they're anonymus"

Leonardo: I've got to clear my name
My name, now!!!
On your decision I base all fear
I've been arrested, now my fate rests here
How long must I wait for a answer?
With my impatience
I can't take this
Was my defense a case of just politics?
I stand acquited, but should be 'committed'
in this desperate hour

I'd like to thank you for absolutely nothing
Excuse me for being rude
But my time has come, I'm gone
I'm overdue for that trip to Milan now...

Chorus: Leonardo - Notebooks full of design

Verrocchio: Masterpiece and invention!

Chorus: never finished in time

Salai: One day this absolute man...

Chorus: from his circle of mirrors will give...

Melzi: his own gift to the ages

Chorus: Leonardo -
Canvas covered with light

Verrocchio: Painting Christ with precision
Chorus: John The Baptist divine!

Salai: Jealous, this teacher admits...

Chorus: that his protege surpassed him and must...

Verrocchio, Salai & Melzi: stand alone as a master...

Caterina: Leonardo!



Calco: Portrait of a mystery
She holds her pose for all to see
Deep within there was no sin
A gift to last for centuries

Caterina: She wore no crown of jewels
to give a touch or say a word
It's the pain she knew
that made her human

Calco: Now thirty years
have come and gone
He has this work
to call his own

Caterina: In dreams, nothing flows faster than the years

Calco: But Mary speaks... and calls him home

Caterina: "How little time it takes
to understand our fellow man...

Calco: How little time it takes
to be a human"

Calco & Caterina: I understand
Now I can see her clearly....

Calco: No call to arms
will sound today
These great empires
will praise her sight
A wisdom finds
this place and time...
My Il Divino's
gift... 'divine'

Caterina: She wore no crown of jewels
to give a touch or say a word
It's the pain she knew
that made her human

Calco: I understand.

"How little time it takes
to understand our fellow man...


Caterina: How little time it takes
to be a human"

Calco & Caterina: How little time
it takes when we forgive
we learn to live
It's the love that it takes

Calco: to be a human...

Caterina: It's the love that makes us.
