Webber [00:07.82]"Mystery after gala night" [00:10.06]It says"mystery of sopranos flight" [00:12.69]"Mystified" all the papers say [00:14.87]"We are mystified We suspect foul play" [00:17.75]Bad news on soprano scene [00:20.04]First Carlotta now Christine [00:22.42]Still at least the seats get sold [00:26.14]Gossip's worth its weight in gold [00:31.92]Diva tenders resignation [00:34.61]Cover does a moonlight flit [00:36.92]Half your cast disappears [00:38.42]But the crowd still cheers [00:40.10]Opera [00:41.48]To hell with Gluck and Handel [00:42.72]Have a scandal and you're sure to have a hit [00:44.52]Damnable [00:45.59]Will they all walk out [00:46.71]This is damnable [00:47.96]Andre please don't shout [00:49.34]It's publicity and the take is vast [00:51.91]Free publicity [00:53.14]But we have no cast [00:54.48]Andre have you seen the queue [00:57.40]Ah it seems you've got one too [01:05.48]"Dear Andre what a charming gala [01:09.01]Christine enjoyed a great success [01:11.64]We were hardly bereft when Carlotta left [01:14.91]Otherwise the chorus was entrancing [01:17.36]But the dancing was a lamentable mess" [01:19.23]"Dear Firmin just a brief reminder; [01:21.97]My salary has not been paid [01:24.73]Send it care of the ghost [01:26.04]By return of post [01:27.98]P T O No one likes a debter [01:30.48]So it's better if my orders are obeyed" [01:33.85]Who would have the gall to send this [01:36.46]Someone with a puerile brain [01:39.02]These are both signed O G [01:40.27]Who the hell is he [01:42.15]Opera Ghost [01:43.50]It's really not amusing [01:44.77]He's abusing our position [01:45.84]In addition he wants money [01:47.29]He's a funny sort of spectre [01:48.70]To expect a large retainer [01:49.96]Nothing plainer [01:50.64]He is clearly quite insane [01:51.96]Where is she [01:52.71]You mean Carlotta [01:53.35]I mean Miss Daae [01:54.09]Where is she [01:55.40]Well how should we know [01:56.27]I want an answer [01:57.07]I take it that you sent me this note [01:58.70]What all this nonsense [01:59.84]Of course not [02:00.85]Don't look at us [02:01.59]She's not with you then [02:02.42]Of course not [02:03.52]We're in the dark [02:04.34]Monsieur don't argue [02:05.15]Isn't this the letter you wrote [02:06.70]And what is is that we're meant to have wrote [02:10.77] Written [02:14.75]Do not fear for Miss Daae [02:17.80]The Angel of Music has her under his wing [02:22.35]Make no attempt to see her again" [02:26.76]If you didn't write it then who did [02:30.63]Where is he [02:32.08]Ah welcome back [02:32.69]Your precious patron [02:33.69]Where is he [02:34.82]What is it now [02:35.69]I have your letter [02:36.44]A letter that which I rather resent [02:38.38]And did you send it [02:39.25]Of course not [02:40.36]As if he would [02:41.12]You didn't send it [02:41.87]Of course not [02:43.00]What going on [02:43.86]You dare to tell me [02:44.93]That this is not the letter you sent [02:46.73]And what is it that I'm meant to have sent [02:53.04]"Your days at the Opera Populaire are numbered [02:58.09]Christine Daae will be singing on your behalf tonight [03:02.28]Be prepared for a great misfortune [03:05.94]Should you attempt to take her place" [03:10.24]Far too many notes for my taste [03:13.54]And most of them about Christine [03:15.97]All we've heard since we came [03:17.34]Is Miss Daae's name [03:21.96]Miss Daae has returned [03:23.72]In which case I think our meeting is adjourned [03:25.77]Where precisely is she now [03:27.90]I thought it best that she went home [03:30.14]She needed rest [03:32.13]May I see her [03:33.32]No monsieur she will see no one [03:35.32]Will she sing [03:36.07]Will she sing [03:37.07]Here I have a note [03:38.79]Let me see it [03:39.48]Please [03:46.59]"Gentlemen I have now sent you [03:49.22]Several notes of the most aimnable nature [03:52.88]Detailing how my theatre is to be run [04:01.34]You have not followed my instructions [04:05.33] I shall give you one last chance [04:10.63]Christine Daae has returned to you [04:15.44]And I am anxious her career should progress [04:21.64]In the new production of Il Muto [04:26.33]You will therefore cast Carlotta as the page boy [04:33.00]And put Miss Daae in the role of Countess [04:39.93]The role which Miss Daae plays calls for charm and appeal [04:47.92]The role of the page boy is silent [04:52.04]Which makes my casting in a word ideal [05:01.71]I shall watch the performance [05:03.39]From my normal seat in box 5 which will be kept empty for me [05:09.32]Should these commands be ignored a disaster [05:12.88]Beyond your imagination will occur [05:17.12]I remain gentlemen your obedient servant [05:22.98]O G [05:25.39]Christine Christine [05:30.02]Christine [05:31.33]What ever next [05:32.07]It's all a ploy to help Christine [05:34.13]This is insane [05:34.88]I know who sent this [05:35.82]The Viscount her lover [05:37.28]Indeed can you believe this [05:38.59]Signora [05:39.34]How can you do this [05:40.09]I am unwanted [05:40.52]This is a joke [05:41.14]This changes nothing [05:41.65]O mentitori [05:42.21]Signora [05:43.01]You are our star [05:44.20]And always will be [05:45.00]Signora [05:46.33]The man is made [05:47.08]We don't take orders [05:47.83]Miss Daae will be playing the page boy [05:51.08]The silent role [05:53.14]Carlotta will be playing the lead [05:55.34]You don't deserve her [05:57.59]It's useless trying to appease me [06:00.70]Appease her [06:02.02]You're only saying this to please me [06:04.33]Please her [06:05.65]Lasciatemi morire [06:09.07]O padre mio [06:13.39]Dio [06:14.77]Who scorn his word beware to those [06:17.33]You have reviled me [06:18.02]The angel sees the angel knows [06:20.21]Why did Christine fly from my arms [06:21.70]You have rebuked me [06:22.45]Sinora pardon us [06:23.16]You have replaced me [06:25.42]Please Signora we beseech you [06:26.93]This hour shall see your darkest fears [06:29.04]I must see her [06:29.78]Abbandonata [06:29.98]Deseredata [06:30.29]O sventurata [06:30.91]The angel sees the angel hears [06:32.22]Where did she go [06:33.23]Abbandonata [06:34.76]Senora sing for us [06:36.32]Disgraziata [06:37.57]Don't be a matyr [06:39.30]What new suprises lie in store [06:52.79]Your public needs you [06:57.17]We need you too [07:01.19]Would you not rather have your precious little ingenue [07:06.98]Signora no The World wants you [07:15.43]Prima Donna first lady of the stage [07:21.48]Your devotees are on their knees to implore you [07:28.79]Can you bow out when they're shouting your name [07:34.95]Think of how they all adore you [07:41.52]Prima donna enchant us once again [07:47.26]Think of your muse [07:48.75]And all your queues 'round the theatre [07:54.18]Can you deny us the triumph in store [07:59.61]Sing Prima Donna once more [08:04.48]Christine spoke of an angel [08:07.13]Prima Donna your song shall live again [08:12.76]Think of your public [08:14.23]You took a snub but there's a public who needs you [08:17.82]She has heard the voice of the Angel of Music [08:20.14]Those who hear you liken you to an angel [08:22.33]Think of the cry of undying support [08:25.27]We get her Opera [08:26.72]She gets her limelight [08:28.46]Follow where the lime light leads you [08:29.96]Leading ladies are a trial [08:32.82]Prima Donna your song shall never die [08:38.26]You'll sing again and to unending ovation [08:40.44]Order warnings lunatic [08:43.28]This misacating will invite damnation [08:46.77]Lunatic demands are regular occurences [08:48.58]Think how you'll sing in that final encore [08:50.89]Sing Prima Donna once more [08:53.10]I must see these demands are rejected [08:57.90]Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve [09:00.73]A chorus girl whose gone and slept with the patron [09:03.73]Raoul and the soubrette entwined in love's duet [09:06.66]Although he may demur he must have been with her [09:09.72]Fortunata [09:10.23]Non ancor abbandonata [09:10.84]You'd never get away with all this in a play [09:12.78]But if it's loudly sung and in a foreign tongue [09:15.58]It's just the sort of story audiences adore [09:18.58]In fact a perfect opera [09:22.57]For if his curse is on this Opera [09:25.76]Prima Donna the world is at your feet [09:28.35]A nation waits and how it hates to be cheated [09:35.12]Light Up the stage with that age-old rapport [09:41.54]Sing Prima Donna [09:46.62]Once more [10:07.59]Once more
