says"mystery of sopranos flight" [00:13.05]"mystified" all the papers say [00:15.50]"we are mystified we suspect foul play" [00:18.66]Bad news on soprano scene [00:20.75]First Carlotta now Christine [00:23.53]Still at least the seats get sold [00:26.32]Gossip's worth its weight in gold [00:32.14]What a way to run a business [00:34.60]Spare me these unending trials [00:37.25]Half your cast disappears [00:38.55]But the crowd still cheers [00:40.30]Opera [00:41.90]To hell with Gluck and Handel [00:43.13]It's a scandal that'll pack 'em in the aisles [00:45.20]Damnable [00:45.41]Will they all walk out [00:47.21]This is damnable [00:48.86]Andre please don't shout [00:50.04]It's publicity And the take is vast [00:52.88]Free publicity [00:54.26]But we have no cast [00:55.72]But Andre [00:56.38]Have you seen the queue [00:58.90]Oh it seems you've got one too [01:03.47]"Dear Andre what a charming gala [01:06.92]Christine enjoyed a great success [01:09.78]We were hardly bereft when Carlotta left [01:13.01]Otherwise the chorus was entrancing [01:15.61]But the dancing was a lamentable mess" [01:17.83]"Dear Firmin just a brief reminder: [01:20.57]My salary has not been paid [01:23.19]Send it care of the ghost by return of post [01:26.06]P T O : [01:28.02]No-one likes a debtor [01:28.81]So it's better if my orders are obeyed" [01:32.54]Who would have the gall to send this [01:35.01]Someone with a puerile brain [01:37.82]These are both signed"O G" [01:39.07]Who the hell is he [01:40.71]Opera ghost [01:42.20]It's really not amusing [01:43.24]He's abusing our position [01:44.79]In addition he wants money [01:46.32]He's a funny sort of spectre [01:47.68]To expect a large retainer [01:48.96]Nothing plainer [01:49.62]He is clearly quite insane [01:51.05]Where is she [01:51.89]You mean Carlotta [01:52.42]I mean Miss Daae [01:53.44]Where is she [01:54.87]Well how should we know [01:55.88]I want an answer [01:56.50]I take it that you sent me this note [01:57.98]What's all this nonsense [01:58.76]Of course not [02:00.60]Don't look at us [02:01.36]She's not with you then [02:02.31]Of course not [02:03.49]We're in the dark [02:04.11]Monsieur don't argue [02:05.02]Isn't this the letter you wrote [02:07.25]And what is it [02:07.94]That we're meant to have wrote [02:09.63]Written [02:11.11]"Do not fear for Miss Daae [02:13.29]The Angel of Music has her under his wing [02:17.46]Make no attempt to see her again" [02:22.14]If you didn't write it who did [02:24.34]Where is he [02:26.05]Ah welcome back [02:26.63]Your precious patron [02:27.28]Where is he [02:28.88]What is it now [02:29.45]I have your letter [02:30.07]A letter which I rather resent [02:32.42]And did you send it [02:33.21]Of course not [02:34.55]As if he would [02:35.26]You didn't send it [02:36.20]Of course not [02:37.35]What's going on [02:37.85]You dare to tell me [02:39.11]That this is not the letter you sent [02:40.87]And what is it that I'm [02:42.18]Meant to have sent [02:44.41]"Your days [02:45.50]At the Opera Populaire are numbered [02:48.34]Christine Daae will be singing on your behalf tonight [02:52.01]Be prepared for a great misfortune [02:54.98]Should you attempt to take her place" [02:59.65]Far too many notes for my taste [03:02.87]And most of them about Christine [03:05.43]All we've heard since we came [03:06.70]Is Miss Daae's name [03:10.36]Miss Daae has returned [03:12.40]I trust her midnight oil [03:13.66]Is well and truly burned [03:15.62]Where precisely is she now [03:17.27]I thought it best that she went home [03:19.06]She needed rest [03:20.87]May I see her [03:22.19]No monsieur she will see no-one [03:24.07]Will she sing [03:24.93]Will she sing [03:26.56]Here I have a note [03:27.96]Let me see it [03:28.65]Please [03:31.53]"Gentlemen I have now sent you [03:33.66]Several notes of the [03:35.19]Most amiable nature [03:38.60]Detailing how my theatre is to be run [03:42.16]You have not followed my instructions [03:45.44]I shall give you one last chance" [03:51.03]Christine Daae has returned to you [03:56.10]And I am anxious her career [04:00.56]Should progress [04:03.31]In the new production of"Il Muto" [04:08.17]You will therefore cast Carlotta [04:11.85]As the Pageboy [04:15.54]And put Miss Daae [04:18.06]In the role of Countess [04:23.30]The role which Miss Daae plays calls [04:27.62]For charm and appeal [04:31.90]The role of the Pageboy is silent [04:36.50]Which makes my casting in a word ideal [04:45.74]I shall watch the performance [04:47.70]From my normal seat in Box Five [04:50.86]Which will be kept empty for me Should [04:54.22]These commands be ignored [04:56.94]A disaster beyond your [04:58.72]Imagination will occur [05:01.71]"I remain Gentlemen [05:03.62]Your obedient servant O G" [05:08.64]Christine [05:10.04]Whatever next [05:10.66]It's all a ploy to help Christine [05:12.89]This is insane [05:13.54]I know who sent this: [05:14.38]The Vicomte her lover [05:16.06]Indeed [05:16.22]Can you believe this [05:17.26]Signora [05:18.29]O traditori [05:19.31]This is a joke [05:20.42]This changes nothing [05:20.94]O mentitori [05:21.80]Signora [05:21.97]You are our star [05:22.74]And always will be [05:23.67]Signora [05:25.51]The man is mad [05:26.19]We don't take orders [05:26.98]Miss Daae will be playing the Pageboy [05:29.42]The silent role [05:30.96]Carlotta will be playing the lead [05:33.47]It's useless trying to appease me [05:37.88]You're only saying this to please me [05:41.74]Signori e vero [05:43.37]Non non non voglio udire [05:46.04]Lasciatemi morire [05:47.69]O padre mio [05:50.18]Dio [05:51.95]Who scorn his word [05:52.89]Beware to those [05:54.32]You have reviled me [05:55.82]The angel sees [05:56.37]The angel knows [05:57.40]Why did Christine fly from my arms [05:58.73]You have rebuked me [05:59.87]Signora pardon us [06:00.50]You have replaced me [06:03.62]Please Signora we beseech you [06:04.83]This hour shall see your darkest fears [06:06.17]I must see her [06:06.90]Abbandonata [06:07.08]Deseredata [06:07.54]O sventurata [06:08.12]The angel knows [06:09.01]The angel hears [06:12.88]Where did she go [06:13.58]Abbandonata [06:13.81]Disgraziata [06:14.12]Signora sing for us [06:15.14]Don't be a martyr [06:16.74]What new surprises lie in store [06:30.86]Your public needs you [06:33.60]We need you too [06:36.08]Would you not rather [06:36.84]Have your precious little ingenue [06:41.34]Signora no [06:43.88]The world wants you [06:50.27]Prima donna first lady of the stage [06:56.81]Your devotees are on their [06:59.59]Knees to implore you [07:04.88]Can you bow out [07:07.14]When they're shouting your name [07:11.95]Think of how they all adore you [07:19.16]Prima donna [07:21.91]Enchant us once again [07:25.09]Think of your muse [07:26.86]And of the queues round the theatre [07:32.87]Can you deny us the triumph in store [07:38.97]Sing prima donna once more [07:44.36]Christine spoke of an angel [07:48.03]Prima donna [07:49.97]Your song shall live again [07:53.42]Think of your public [07:55.10]You took a snub [07:55.90]But there's a public who needs you [07:58.57]She has heard the voice [07:59.70]Of the angel of music [08:01.69]Those who hear your voice [08:03.12]Liken you to an angel [08:04.47]Think of their cry [08:05.38]Of undying support [08:07.00]Is this her angel of music [08:08.48]We get our opera [08:09.59]She gets her limelight [08:10.42]Follow where the limelight leads you [08:11.98]Is this ghost an angel or a madman [08:14.44]Angel or madman [08:15.38]Leading ladies are a trial [08:16.99]Heaven help you [08:18.34]Those who doubt [08:19.60]You'll sing again [08:20.67]And to unending ovation [08:22.29]Orders Warnings [08:25.99]Lunatic demands [08:27.63]This miscasting will invite damnation [08:29.27]Tears oaths [08:29.90]Iunatic demands are regular occurrences [08:31.52]Bliss or damnation [08:32.58]Which has claimed her [08:34.00]Think how you'll shine in that final encore [08:36.27]Sing prima donna once more [08:37.74]Oh fools to have flouted his warnings [08:40.04]Surely for her sake [08:41.38]Surely he'll strike back [08:42.85]Surely there'll be further scenes [08:44.55]Worse than this [08:45.57]Think before these demands are rejected [08:47.41]I must see these demands are rejected [08:49.14]If his threats and demands are rejected [08:50.56]Who'd believe a diva happy [08:51.67]To relieve a chorus girl [08:52.80]Who's gone and slept with the patron [08:54.45]Raoul and the soubrette [08:55.40]Entwined in love's duet [08:56.71]Although he may demur [08:57.88]He must have been with her [08:59.68]Christine must be protected [09:00.82]O fortunata [09:01.61]Non ancor abbandonata [09:02.63]You'd never get away with all this in a play [09:05.31]But if it's loudly sung and in a foreign tongue; [09:07.63]It's just the sort of story audiences adore [09:09.55]In fact a perfect opera [09:10.71]His game is over [09:11.73]This is a game you cannot hope to win [09:13.94]And in Box Five [09:14.81]A new game will begin [09:15.90]For if his curse is on this opera [09:17.62]But if his curse is on this opera [09:19.25]Prima donna the world is at your feet [09:21.02]A nation waits and how it hates to be cheated [09:23.35]The stress that falls upon [09:24.46]A famous prima donna [09:25.52]Terrible diseases coughs [09:26.20]And colds and sneezes [09:27.36]Still the dryest throat will reach [09:29.00]The highest note [09:29.75]In search of perfect opera [09:30.80]Then I fear the outcome [09:31.89]Christine plays the Pageboy [09:32.89]Carlotta plays the Countess [09:33.93]Should you dare to [09:34.87]When you once again [09:35.78]Light up the stage with [09:36.99]That age old rapport [09:37.87]Sing prima donna [09:38.63]Once more [09:50.24]So it is to be war between us [09:54.65]If these demands are not [09:56.52]Met a disaster beyond [09:59.31]Your imagination will occur [10:02.31]Once more
