The Phantom of the Opera Unoriginal Cast Recording (Interest check)

From Music of the Night

You alone can make my song take flight
help me make the music of the night

From the Phantom of the Opera:

Sing once again with me, our strange duet!
My power over you grows stronger yet!
And though you turn from me to glance behind,
The Phantom of the Opera is there, inside your mind!

From Past the Point of No Return:

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my sollitude...
Say you'll want me with you here beside you...
Anywhere you go let me go too... Christine, that's all I ask of...

sing the Cadenza from The Phantom of the opera

Sing a few bars from Wishing you were somehow here again

All I ask of you:

Anywhere you go, let me go too
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

from Little Lotte:

Little Lotte let her mind wander

Little Lotte thought: Am I fonder of dolls

Or of goblins or shoes?

speak:

Those picnics in the attic

sing:

Or of chocolates

speak:

As we read to each other dark stories of the North

sing:

The Angel of Music sings songs in my head!

From The Mirror:

Who's is that voice? Who is that in there?

*followed by*

Christine! Angel!

From All I Ask of You:

No more talk of darkness, forgett these wide eyed fears. I'm here, nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you.

Please demonstrate your range by singing the first bars of Hannibal:

This trophy from our saviours, from our saviours, from the enslaving force of rome! 

If you would, sing a few bars from "Prima Donna"

Please sing the part in Hanibal

From Angel of Music:

Christine... Christine....

Where in the world have you been hiding? Really you were perfect!
I only wish I knew your secret, who is your great tutor?

Christine you must have been dreaming. Stories like this can't come true.
Christine you're talking in riddles, and it's not like you.

He's here, the phantom of the opera! He's here, the phantom of the opera!

From The Phantom of the Opera:

He's here... The phantom of the opera!
Beware... The phantom of the opera!

Please, Monsieur - I know no more than anyone else.

(uneasily)Please, Monsieur, don't ask, there have been too many accidents . . .

Very well. It was years ago. Very well. It was years ago. There was a travelling fair in the city, Gypsies.

I was very young, studying to be a ballerina, 

One of many living in the dormitory of the opera house.

I hid him from the world and its cruelties. 

He has known nothing else of life since then.

As if this opera house, it was his playground and, now, his artistic domain.

He's a genius. He's an architect and designer. 

He's a composer and a magician. A genius, monsieur.

Yes, you did well. He will be pleased.  And you! You were a disgrace tonight! Such temps de cuisse! Such rondes de jambe! Come... we rehearse. NOW!

Meg Giry. Are you a dancer? Then come and practice. breathe My dear, I was asked to give you this.

Those who speak of what they know, find too late that prudent silence is wise. Joseph Buquet hold your tongue. He will burn you with the heat of his eyes.

From Notes:

Damnable! Will they all walk out? Thit is Damnable?

But we have no cast!

Dear Andre what a charming gala, Christine enjoyed a great success!
we were hardly bereft when Carlotta left. On that note, the music was entrancing, but the dancing was a lamentable mess!

Speaking:

If I remember rightly, Elissa has a rather fine aria in Act Three of "Hannibal" I wonder signora if, as a personal favor, you would oblige us with a private rendition? Unless of course, Monsieur Reyer objects...

From Prima Donna:

Your public need you

signora no! The world wants you!

and at the end: Light up that stage with that age old report! Sing prima donna once more!... once more!

From Notes

"Mystery after gala night,"
It says, "Mystery of sopranos flight!"
"Mystified," baffled Sûreté say
"We are mystified. We suspect foul play!"

Bad news on soprano scene
First Carlotta, now Christine
Still at least the seats get sold
Gossip's worth its weight in gold

Diva tenders resignation
Cover does a moonlight flit
Half your cast disappears
But the crowd still cheers
Opera!
To hell with Gluck and Handel
It's a scandal that'll pack 'em in the aisles!

From Prima Donna:

We need you too.

signora no! The world wants you!

and at the end: Light up that stage with that age old report! Sing prima donna once more!... once more!

From Prima Donna:

We need you too.

signora no! The world wants you!

and at the end: Light up that stage with that age old report! Sing prima donna once more!... once more!

Sold. Your number, sir? Thank you.

Lot 663, then, ladies and gentlemen: a poster
for this house's production of "Hannibal" by
Chalumeau.

Do I have ten francs? Five then. Five I am bid.
Six, seven. Against you, sir, seven. Eight.
Eight once. Selling twice. Sold, to Raoul,
Vicomte de Chagny.

and the most important line, in my oppinion:

Lot 666, then: a chandelier in pieces. Some of
you may recall the strange affair of the
Phantom of the Opera: a mystery never fully
explained. We are told ladies and gentlemen,
that this is the very chandelier which figures in
the famous disaster. Our workshops have
restored it and fitted up parts of it with wiring
for the new electric light, so that we may get a
hint of what it may look like when re-
assembled. Perhaps we may frighten away the
ghost of so many years ago with a little
illumination, gentlemen?

Showing here!

He's there, the phantom of the opera!

Beware, the phantom of the opera!

Track down this murderer, he must be found!

Track down this murderer, he must be found!

Track down this villain now who runs to ground!
Too long he's preyed on us, but now we know, the phantom of the opera is here,deep down bellow!

Please monsieur, don't look at me
As God's my whitness, I was not at my post.
Please monsieur there's noone there,
Or if there is, well then it must be a ghost!

Like yellow parchment is his skin
A great black hole serves as the nose which never grew
You must be always on your guard,
Or he will catch you with his magical lasso!

He's there, the phantom of the opera

beware the phantom of the opera

Track down this murderer he must be found, track down this murderer he must be found.

Too long he preyed on ys, but now we know the phantom of the opera is there, deep down bellow

Try the chorus part from hannibal
