ANDR�
Your public needs you!

FIRMIN
We need you, too!

CARLOTTA
Would you not
rather have your
precious little
ingenue?

ANDR�/FIRMIN
Signora, no!
The world wants you!

ANDR�/FIRMIN
Prima donna,
first lady of the stage!
Your devotees
are on their knees
to implore you!

ANDR�
Can you bow out
when they're shouting
your name?

FIRMIN
Think of how they all
adore you!

BOTH
Prima donna,
enchant us once again!

ANDR�
Think of your muse...

FIRMIN
And of the queues
round the theatre!

BOTH
Can you deny us the triumph
in store?
Sing, prima donna,
*once more!
*
*RAOUL
*Christine spoke of an angel...
*
*CARLOTTA
*Prima donna,
your song shall live again!

*ANDR�/FIRMIN
*Think of your public!

*CARLOTTA
*You took a snub,

*but there's a public
*who needs you!
*
*GIRY
*She has heard the voice
*of the angel of music...
*
*ANDR�/FIRMIN
*Those who hear your voice
*liken you to an angel!

*CARLOTTA
*Think of their cry
*of undying
*support!
*
*RAOUL
*Is this her angel of music...?
*
*ANDR�
*We get our opera...

*FIRMIN
*She gets her limelight!
*
*CARLOTTA
*Follow where the limelight
*leads you!
*
*MEG
*Is this ghost
*an angel or madman...?
*
*RAOUL
*Angel or madman...?
*
*ANDR�/FIRMIN
*Leading ladies are a trial!
*
*CARLOTTA
*Prima donna,
*your song shall never die!
*
*MEG
*Voice of hell, or of heaven...?
*
*GIRY
*Heaven help you,
*those who doubt...
*
*CARLOTTA
*You'll sing again,
*and to an unending
*ovation!
*
*RAOUL
*Orders! Warnings!
*Lunatic demands!
*
*GIRY
*This miscasting
*will invite damnation...
*
*ANDR�/FIRMIN
*Tears...oaths...
*lunatic demands
*are regular occurrences!
*
*MEG
*Bliss or damnation?

*Which has claimed her...?
*
*CARLOTTA
*Think how you'll shine
*in that final
*encore!
*Sing, prima donna,
*once more!
*
*GIRY
*Oh fools,
*to have flouted his warnings!
*
*RAOUL
*Surely, for her sake...
*
*MEG
*Surely, he'll strike back...
*
*ANDR�/FIRMIN
*Surely, there'll be further scenes -

*worse than this!
*
*GIRY
*Think, before
*these demands are rejected!
*
*RAOUL
*...I must see
*these demands are rejected!
*
*MEG
*...if his threats
*and demands are rejected!
*
*ANDR�/FIRMIN
*Who'd believe a diva
*happy to relieve a
*chorus girl, who's gone
*and slept with the patron?
*Raoul and the soubrette,
*entwined in love's duet!
*Although he may demur,
*he must have been with her!
*
*MEG/RAOUL
*Christine must be protected!
*
*CARLOTTA
*O, fortunata!
*Non ancor

*abbandonata!
*
*ANDR�/FIRMIN
*You'd never get away
*with all this in a play,
*but if it's loudly sung
*and in a foreign tongue,
*it's just the sort of story
*audiences adore, in
*fact a perfect
*opera!
*
*RAOUL
*His game is over!
*
*GIRY
*This is a game
*you cannot hope to win!
*
*RAOUL
*And in Box Five
*a new game will begin...
*
*GIRY
*For, if his curse
*is on this opera...
*
*MEG
*But if his curse

*is on this opera...
*
*ANDR�/FIRMIN
*Prima donna,
*the world is at your feet!
*A nation waits,
*and how it hates
*to be cheated!
*
*CARLOTTA
*The stress that falls upon a
*famous prima donna!
*Terrible diseases,
*coughs and colds and sneezes!
*
*Still, the driest throat
*will reach the highest note,
*in search of perfect
*opera!
*
*MEG/GIRY
*...then I fear the outcome...
*
*RAOUL
*Christine plays the Pageboy,
*Carlotta plays the Countess...
*
*GIRY
*...should you dare to...
*
*MEG
*...when you once again...

ALL
Light up the stage
with that age-old
rapport!
Sing, prima donna,
once more!

PHANTOM
(spoken)
So, it is to be war between us! If these
demands are not met, a disaster beyond
your imagination will occur!

ALL
Once more
