SEPTEMBER 3, 1995 - PIEDMONT, CA.

Penelope knows, the second she steps into the house, all tipsy toes with her boots dangling from her fingers that something is wrong. All of the lights in the house are on, for one, which isn’t normal when you have parents who go to bed at nine pm. She looks through blurry eyes and finally finds a clock that tells her it’s close to three am. Silently, she listens to find that she can only hear voices coming from the kitchen and when the front door squeaks as she tries to close it so she rush up to her room, they all hush. Her mom and dad have got to be pissed, because she’s pretty sure she heard her oldest brother, who usually can’t be bothered to come back to see them. She can’t blame him, their mom and dad are still hippies in their bones where Preston is rigid rules and frown lines at twenty-four years old. It’s not like she’d been gone for days, it’d been like six hours! Calling Preston, she harrumphs, what an overreaction. As if she’d listen to him anyway. She pauses at the base of the stairs and waits for her mother to beckon her to the kitchen, as if she hadn’t stayed out past curfew a few times when she was eighteen and wild. The beckoning doesn’t come, so she waits for a second more… and one more. Her mother’s lilting voice never comes, only Preston, calling her Penny for the first time since she was nine. Her stomach drops as she drops her shoes at the foot of the stairs, suddenly fully sober. Something was definitely wrong. Something was super wrong. Fingers reach up to fiddle with one of her long black earrings as she slowly makes her way to the kitchen, an absentminded gesture meant to put her nerves at ease but only proves to make her ear sore. Her hand falls as she moves through the doorway all four of her brothers, oldest to youngest, waiting for her at the table. Everyone cheeks are tear-stained and she doesn’t think she’s seen any of them cry in years, especially Preston. Fingers form a fist at her sides and it takes all she has not to rush to her younger brothers, fingers digging into her palm as Preston stares her down as if she’s just stabbed him in the chest. ❛ zach? Paul? What’s wrong? Preston, I – what are you doing here? ❜ She turns to her other brother, Patrick, eyes frantic and pleading when she’s met with silence and wide eyes from her younger brothers. The feeling that has settled deep in her stomach, the one that has only grown since she’d opened the door finally identifies itself – DREAD. ❛ Patty? What’s going on? Where are mom and dad? I thought for sure I was gonna get the riot act, y’know? I meant to be home an hour ago but I just – lost track of time. ❜ She turns back to her younger brothers, the panic setting in and tears filling her eyes as she goes from one sorrowful face to another. She knows, then, she just does, her parents aren’t home and they aren’t coming home. ❛ They probably shouldn’t be awake though, right? They’ve got school tomorrow. Mom and dad are going to be pissed when they find out they’re up! Look at our boys, they’re growing boys, they need their sleep. Listen, I didn’t mean to be out so late, you guys shouldn’t have been so worried, we’ll just call mom and dad back home they always have that damn car phone on. ❜ She tries to be nonchalant as she picks up the phone and starts dialing the number to the phone inside the family suv, even though there’s a voice in the back of her head telling her it’s useless. If they could be there, they would be. She wants the lecture, wishes for it, now. Wishes she could go back to the moment she decided to climb down the trellis and scream at herself to go to bed. Be a good girl, be better than you are, be like your older brothers. Patrick Garcia, ever the peacemaker between his rebellious sister and rest of the family is the first Garcia boy to move, to give his sister the benefit of the doubt because he knows what’s coming. He pulls her into his arms, grabbing the phone out of her hand, and holds her.

❛ Penny, they’re not going to answer. ❜ He says so softly that she almost doesn’t hear it. She pushes against his chest, fighting to get away with every fiber of her being. ❛ They were hit by a drunk driver, the police said. they both – ❜ Patrick’s voice catches and the thought is lost when she breaks free from his embrace. ❛ NO! NO! NO! They were just here! I just saw them! Preston, I swear to God, they were watching a movie! They weren’t supposed to leave! It - they never leave - why would they leave? Where did they go? Why? ❜ Her words are punctuated by her small fists pounding against Patrick’s chest, when she stops it’s because realization hits her and the breath is knocked out of her and she looks back to her oldest brother. He doesn’t look her in the eye but she can tell, she can see the disappointment and anger and she’d thought it was because she’d snuck out and worried everyone but – it’s not. It’s because she’d gotten their parents killed. ❛ They left because of me. They went to find me, didn’t they? I was – I was fine. It was just a STUPID party! I barely even – I was fine, they didn’t have to – they shouldn’t have – ❜ She breaks off on a sob, holding onto Patrick for leverage, worried that if she didn’t have something to hold onto she’d fall to the floor and wait for it to swallow her whole. ( She wants it to. ) ❛ It’s not your fault, Pen. ❜ Zach says, coming towards them, and she wraps her arms around him immediately. Her little brother has never been anything but her brother even if they didn’t share a drop of blood between them – it doesn’t mean she believes him, or that he believes himself. Paul comes next, holding her just as tightly as Patrick is. She breaks when she feels Preston’s strong hand is on her back in an effort to comfort her. She doesn’t deserve it and they all know it. ❛ I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. ❜ She’s a broken record, murmuring apologies between sobs and big, heaving breaths that she can’t control. She holds them close, the weight of the guilt that is invading her entire being almost too much. She doesn’t know until much later that this is one of the last times that they’ll all be under the same roof, she can’t know that in a year none of her brothers would speak to her and her life will only truly begin again when she’s thousands of miles away.

Elisabeth das Musical exposition/setting notes

Back when I was translating the ‘92 Vienna rehearsal footage to English I ended up digging deeper than I probably should have into lyrics, because I was kinda fascinated with how precisely you could pinpoint some of the songs in time that way.

I ended up including an extremely short summary of...fun trivia I learned as footnotes in my yt videos for Americans and other aliens (...kidding. kidding! Not like I really remember what was up with Spring of Nations either other than ‘Poland was there too’...) but since a) like nobody watches ‘92 Elisabeth b) if they do they are almost guaranteed not to read video descriptions anyway, I finally decided to repost this here.

Or, you know, you can check out @land-of-blitheness-and-catharsis Vienna Revival Elisabeth translations for some way more entertaining background comments.

PROLOG

[1] Luigi Lucheni (1873-1910) Italian anarchist famous for assassinating Empress Elisabeth of Austria in 1898. Died in 1910 by hanging himself in his cell while serving a life sentence in Geneva. Curiously enough, his head had been preserved in formaldehyde and only buried in 2000, 90 years after his death.

[2] Grammar bonus in case you live under a rock: German is a language with what is known as grammatical gender, effectively making the noun 'death' come with built-in male pronouns unless stated otherwise.

[3] "Why not? She loved Heinrich Heine!" Heinrich Heine (1797 – 1856) Born to a Jewish family but later converted to Christianity, German poet, journalist, essayist, and literary critic. Elisabeth was something of a fan, to put it mildly.

WIE DU

[4] "In this case, it's impossible." Elisabeth absolutely can't come with her father because, according to the libretto, he is actually on his way to spend a night with an actress in Monachium.

[5] "...with a zither under one arm" The flat, black box Elisabeth doesn't want to give back to her father is indeed a zither case.

JEDEM GIBT ER DAS SEINE

[6] Franz-Joseph I of Austria (1830 – 1916) The oldest of four brothers, ascended the throne in 1848 at the age of eighteen when, after his epileptic uncle's Ferdinand I abdication, his father stepped aside in his favor.

[7] "Russia, we owe rescue.../...from the revolution." In 1848 a wave of political upheavals swept across Europe, an event known as the Spring of Nations. Stuck between fighting in the territories of today's Italy and the rebelling Hungarians, who were at the time under the rule of the Austrian Empire, Austria lacked the power to quell the latter. Assistance from its ally, Russia, was sent for and the revolution suppressed.

[8] Crimean War (1853 - 1856) Military conflict fought between Russia and an alliance of France, the British Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia started over the rights of Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire. Russia lost and apparently was none too happy about Austrian Empire choosing to remain neutral.

SIE PASST NICHT

[9] "Rauscher's speech was too long." Joseph Othmar Ritter von Rauscher (1797-1875), Cardinal and Austrian Prince-Archbishop of Vienna, considered the father of the Austrian Concordat of 1855. This will kinda keep coming up.

DER LETZTE TANZ

[10] "In mirror room" (der Spiegelsaal) Large mirrors used to be difficult to produce and thus very expensive. Naturally, for a while small rooms and galleries with mirrors embedded in the walls seem to have been a must-have in every grand residence.

DIE ERSTEN VIER JAHRE

[11] "Where does she stand on Hungary?" After the rebellion of 1848 Hungary wasn't exactly in the Austrian Empire's best books. A lot of its former independence was taken away.

DIE FRÖHLICHE APOKALYPSE

[12] "One more coffee!" Wiener Melange ("Viennese blend") is a type of coffee drink specific to Vienna, traditionally consisting of a shot of expresso topped with hot milk and milk foam.

[13] We've signed a concordat!" A concordat is convention between the Holy See and a sovereign state that defines the [..] privileges of the Catholic Church in a particular country. (Thanks wikipedia...) In the case of Austrian Concordat of 1855 the Church was granted full control over their direct affairs, oversight of approx 98% of public schools and their curriculum as well as jurisdiction over marriages where either or both the couple were Catholic. In other words something of a big deal and most liberals really weren't a fan.

[14] "The last Crimean War neutralized us.../And Austria is now.../ ...politically, completely isolated./[...]/And we are now at war with Piedmont!" In 1858 England and, more importantly, Russia, is definitely still sulking over Austrian Empire's neutrality in the Crimean War. In the meanwhile wars in what is today's Italy continue, notably with the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. Up until 1871 Italy was a collection of small kingdoms/city states. The Second Italian War of Independence of 1859 will prove to be a crucial part of their future unification.

[15] "...crowds of men waving their fists/at her on Ballhausplatz." The Ballhausplatz is a square in central Vienna and the location of the residence/set of office of the Chancellor of Austria. It's also located a short walk's distance from the Austrian Parliament building.

SCHÖNHEITSPFLEGE

[16] "Here, veal for the face./Lay it in thick slices on the cheeks.../[...]/The meat sauce, that she drinks at midday.../...has to, imagine.../...absolutely be from a fillet." etc Supposedly all true. She is also known for fasting, exercising rigorously and tight-lacing her corsets to a worrying degree.

WIR ODER SIE

[17] "A ringleader advanced.../...to a minister of state!" Likely refers to Count Gyula Andrássy (1823 – 1890), a Hungarian statesman who, in 1867, with Elisabeth's backing became Prime Minister of Hungary. By all accounts a close friend, thought to be lover by some.

[18] "...she rules like a Pompadour!" Madame de Pompadour (1721 – 1764) chief mistress of French king Louis XV and, later, his close friend and confidant. While having little official political influence, she was able to gather a network of supporters and wielded considerable power behind the scenes.

[19] "Instead of Goethe or Schiller.../...she recites Heine!" A serious offense indeed seeing as Goethe and Schiller are some of the most iconic/well-known German-language writers, while Heine's more radical works were banned.

[20] "I will, myself, undertake.../...delivering a Circe to him" In the Greek epic poem Odyssey, the hero Odysseus is steadfast and unrelenting in his attempt to return home to his faithul wife Penelope, except for that one entire year he spends feasting and sharing a bed of a powerful sorceress named Circe. Because why not.

MALADIE

[21] "One.../...known as the French disease." Anemia, fever and dizzy spells are not exactly the most prominent symptoms of secondary syphillis and Elisabeth's bad health is only speculated to be a result of a veneral disease instead of constant stress she was under, but I suppose we’ll just have to trust the personification of death on this one. You'd assume he'd know.

DIE RASTLOSEN JAHRE

[22] "Wants to Corfu, Pest and England..." Budapest is the capital and the largest city of Hungary. Originally two separate cities, Buda and Pest, it became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube in 1873.

DIE SCHATTEN WERDEN LÄNGER

[23] "To the tune of the Pied Piper.../...they dance wildly..." "Der Rattenfänger von Hameln", better known in the Anglosphere as "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" is a German legend concerning a rat-catcher hired to lead rats away from the city of Hamelin using his magical flute. When the townsfolk refuse to give him the promised payment, he turns the magic on the town's children instead, luring them all into the unknown.

HASS

[24] "Nationalists! Supporters of Schönerer." Georg Ritter von Schönerer (1842 – 1921), German landowner, politician, rabid nationalist and antisemite. In 1888, he was temporarily jailed for ransacking a newspaper office and his popularity soared, with nationalist marches organized to demand freeing him etc. Likely the person to introduce Führer (”leader") to the nationalist vocabulary. All around a great guy like that. Hitler is said to have been a big fan as a young man.

[25] "Wilhelm should be Emperor!" Wilhelm II (1859 – 1941), the last German Emperor and Austrian nationalists' preferred Habsburg replacement.

[26] "For Heinrich Heine she wants to, here, in Vienna.../...erect a statue!" She really did, except by the time it was finished, the nationalist protests were so widespread there was nowhere to put it. Somehow, and don't ask me how or why, it is now located in Bronx, New York City and known as the Lorelei Fountain.

[27] "The Guard on the Rhine stands proud!" "Die Wacht am Rhein" is a famous patriotic German song, for a while considered something of an unofficial second anthem.

MAYERLING-WALZER

[28] Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria and his 17-year-old lover Baroness Mary Vetsera died on 30 January 1889 in what is widely considered to be a murder-suicide pact, known as the Mayerling Incident. His death caused Franz-Joseph I's nephew, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, to become first in line to the throne of Austro-Hungarian Empire. Franz Ferdinand is perhaps best known as the man whose assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 kickstarted the WWI.

AM DECK DER SINKENDEN WELT

[29] Maximillian I (1832 – 1867) Younger brother of Emperor Franz-Joseph. Accepted Napoleon III's offer to move to Mexico where he declared himself Emperor in 1864 and was executed by firing squad three years later.

[30] Maria von Wittelsbach (1841 - 1925) Elisabeth's younger sister. By all accounts a rather unhappy lady with an equally unhappy marriage.

[31] Ludwig von Wittelsbach (1845 – 1886) Elisabeth's cousin, king of Bavaria. Known as an eccentric with a love for extravagant artistic and architectural projects. Declared insane and deposed in 1886, died under unknown circumstances. Body found floating in a lake near his residence at the time.

[32] Sophie von Wittelsbach (1847 – 1897) Elisabeth's youngest sister, died in a fire of the Bazar de la Charité in Paris, during a charity event.

DER SCHLEIER FÄLLT

[33] Elisabeth, Empress of Austria died on the 10 September 1898 after being fatally stabbed in the heart with a stiletto improvised out of a sharpened needle file. Perhaps thanks to her practice of lacing her corsets very tightly the injury wasn't immediately detected and it took half an hour for her to die. Ironically, first recorded successful treatment of this exact kind of injury was achieved by dr Ludwig Rehn in Frankfurt am Main exactly two years and one day before that date.

...also something I failed to mention in footnotes, but occurs to me not everyone knows: yes, a porcelain tea set with portraits of Franz-Joseph and Elisabeth painted on it was not a very strange item to own. That’s kind of what Kitsch is about XD
