[00:20.75]First Carlotta  now Christine [00:23.44]Still  at least the seats get sold [00:26.05]Gossip's worth its weight in gold      [00:32.17]What a way to run a business [00:34.23]Spare me these unending trials [00:37.10]Half your cast disappears [00:38.48]But the crowd still cheers [00:40.29]Opera [00:41.66]To hell with Gluck and Handel - [00:43.23]It's a scandal that'll pack 'em in the aisles [00:45.18]Damnable [00:45.86]Will they all walk out [00:47.37]This is damnable [00:48.30]Andre  please don't shout      [00:50.23]It's publicity  And the take is vast [00:52.55]Free publicity [00:53.98]But we have no cast      [00:55.79]But Andre [00:56.41]Have you seen the queue [00:57.97]Oh  it seems you've got one too      [01:04.27]"Dear Andre what a charming gala [01:06.33]Christine enjoyed a great success [01:09.72]We were hardly bereft when Carlotta left - [01:12.33]Otherwise the chorus was entrancing [01:15.89]But the dancing was a lamentable mess " [01:18.33]"Dear Firmin  just a brief reminder: [01:20.43]My salary has not been paid [01:23.23]Send it care of the ghost  by return of post [01:26.17]P T O : [01:27.73]No-one likes a debtor [01:29.04]So it's better if my orders are obeyed " [01:32.55]Who would have the gall to send this [01:34.68]Someone with a puerile brain [01:37.73]These are both signed "O G "      [01:39.61]Who the hell is he [01:40.79]Opera ghost [01:42.23]It's really not amusing [01:43.48]He's abusing our position [01:44.78]In addition he wants money [01:46.29]He's a funny sort of spectre      [01:48.03]      to expect a large retainer [01:49.47]Nothing plainer - [01:50.22]He is clearly quite insane [01:51.15]Where is she [01:52.09]You mean Carlotta [01:52.65]I mean Miss Daae - [01:53.77]Where is she [01:54.53]Well  how should we know [01:55.46]I want an answer - [01:56.64]I take it that you sent me this note [01:58.20]What's all this nonsense [01:58.86]Of course not [02:00.36]Don't look at us [02:01.04]She's not with you  then [02:02.04]Of course not [02:02.85]We're in the dark      [02:04.47]Monsieur  don't argue - [02:05.91]Isn't this the letter you wrote [02:07.16]And what is it  that we're meant to have wrote [02:10.52]"Do not fear for Miss Daae [02:12.96]The Angel of Music has her under his wing [02:16.89]Make no attempt to see her again " [02:22.06]If you didn't write it  who did [02:24.31]Where is he [02:25.86]Ah  welcome back [02:26.73]Your precious patron - [02:27.49]Where is he [02:28.54]What is it now [02:29.35]I have your letter - [02:30.30]A letter which I rather resent [02:31.67]And did you send it [02:33.16]Of course not [02:34.34]As if he would [02:35.03]You didn't send it [02:36.03]Of course not [02:37.09]What's going on      [02:38.15]You dare to tell me [02:39.22]That this is not the letter you sent    [02:41.21]And what is it that I'm [02:42.32]Meant to have sent [02:43.39]"Your days [02:45.43]At the Opera Populaire are numbered [02:48.49]Christine Daae will be singing on your behalf tonight [02:52.05]Be prepared for a great misfortune [02:54.92]Should you attempt to take her place " [02:59.86]Far too many notes for my taste - [03:02.30]And most of them about Christine [03:05.36]All we've heard since we came [03:06.79]Is Miss Daae's name      [03:10.53]Miss Daae has returned [03:12.40]I trust her midnight oil [03:13.46]Is well and truly burned [03:15.46]Where precisely is she now [03:17.15]I thought it best that she went home      [03:19.46]She needed rest [03:20.02]May I see her [03:22.22]No  monsieur  she will see no-one [03:23.54]Will she sing [03:24.96]Will she sing [03:25.99]Here  I have a note      [03:27.62]Let me see it [03:28.99]Please [03:31.55]"Gentlemen  I have now sent you several notes of the [03:35.03]Most amiable nature  detailing how my theatre is to be [03:41.32]Run  You have not followed my instructions [03:45.51]I shall give you one last chance      " [03:50.95]      Christine Daae has returned to you [03:56.43]And I am anxious her career should progress [04:03.44]In the new production of "Il Muto" [04:08.26]You will therefore cast Carlotta as the Pageboy [04:15.74]And put Miss Daae in the role of Countess [04:23.35]The role which Miss Daae plays calls for charm and appeal [04:32.09]The role of the Pageboy is silent - [04:36.58]Which makes my casting  in a word       ideal [04:45.75]I shall watch the performance from my normal seat in [04:49.25]Box Five  which will be kept empty for me  Should [04:53.99]These commands be ignored  a disaster beyond your [04:58.92]Imagination will occur [05:01.67]"I remain  Gentlemen  Your obedient servant  O G " [05:08.59]Christine [05:09.57]Whatever next      [05:10.64]It's all a ploy to help Christine [05:12.82]This is insane      [05:13.82]I know who sent this: [05:14.63]The Vicomte -

[08:43.17]Worse than this [08:43.22]Think  before these demands are rejected [08:43.48]     I must see these demands are rejected [08:43.72]      if his threats and demands are rejected [08:44.10]Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve a chorus girl [08:44.41]Who's gone and slept with the patron [08:44.66]Raoul and the soubrette  entwined in love's duet [08:44.91]Although he may demur  he must have been with her [08:45.22]Christine must be protected [08:45.35]O  fortunata [08:45.41]Non ancor abbandonata [08:45.54]You'd never get away with all this in a play [08:46.16]But if it's loudly sung and in a foreign tongue; [08:48.03]It's just the sort of story audiences adore [08:49.47]In fact a perfect opera [08:50.41]His game is over [08:51.21]This is a game you cannot hope to win [08:52.77]And in Box Five [08:53.46]A new game will begin      [08:54.83]For  if his curse is on this opera      [08:56.70]But if his curse is on this opera      [08:58.72]Prima donna  the world is at your feet [09:00.10]A nation waits  and how it hates to be cheated [09:01.90]The stress that falls upon a famous prima donna [09:03.52]Terrible diseases  coughs and colds and sneezes [09:05.15]Still  the dryest throat will reach the highest note [09:07.02]In search of perfect opera [09:08.07]      then I fear the outcome      [09:10.19]Christine plays the Pageboy [09:10.90]Carlotta plays the Countess      [09:12.98]      should you dare to    [09:17.28]      when you once again      [09:24.08]Light up the stage with that age old rapport [09:33.13]Sing  prima donna  once more [09:50.41]So  it is to be war between us  If these demands are not [09:56.64]Met  a disaster beyond your imagination will occur [10:02.39]Once more
