"Mystified baffled Surete 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 . . . What a way to run a business! Spare me these unending trials! 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! ANDRE Damnable! Will they all walk out? This is damnable! FIRMIN Andre, please don't shout . . . It's publicity! And the take is vast! Free publicity! ANDRE But we have no cast . . . FIRMIN But Andre, have you seen the queue? Oh, it seems you've got one too . . . ANDRE "Dear Andre what a charming gala! Christine enjoyed a great success! We were hardly bereft when Carlotta left - Otherwise the chorus was entrancing, but the dancing was a lamentable mess!" FIRMIN "Dear Firmin, just a brief reminder: my salary has not been paid. Send it care of the ghost, by return of post. P.T.O.: No-one likes a debtor, so it's better if my orders are obeyed!" FIRMIN/ANDRE Who would have the gall to send this? Someone with a puerile brain! FIRMIN These are both signed "O.G." . . . ANDRE Who the hell is he? BOTH Opera ghost! FIRMIN It's really not amusing! ANDRE He's abusing our position! FIRMIN In addition he wants money! ANDRE He's a funny sort of spectre . . . BOTH . . . to expect a large retainer! Nothing plainer - he is clearly quite insane! RAOUL Where is she? ANDRE You mean Carlotta? RAOUL I mean Miss Daae - where is she? FIRMIN Well, how should we know? RAOUL I want an answer - I take it that you sent me this note? FIRMIN What's all this nonsense? ANDRE Of course not! FIRMIN Don't look at us! RAOUL She's not with you, then? FIRMIN Of course not! ANDRE We're in the dark . . . RAOUL Monsieur, don't argue - Isn't this the letter you wrote? FIRMIN And what is it, that we're meant to have wrote? (Realizing his mistake) Written ! ANDRE "Do not fear for Miss Daae. The Angel of Music has her under his wing. Make no attempt to see her again." RAOUL If you didn't write it, who did? CARLOTTA Where is he? ANDRE Ah, welcome back! CARLOTTA Your precious patron - where is he? RAOUL What is it now? CARLOTTA I have your letter - a letter which I rather resent! FIRMIN And did you send it? RAOUL Of course not! ANDRE As if he would! CARLOTTA You didn't send it? RAOUL Of course not! FIRMIN What's going on . . .? CARLOTTA You dare to tell me, that this is not the letter you sent ? ! RAOUL And what is it that I'm meant to have sent? "Your days at the Opera Populaire are numbered. Christine Daae will be singing on your behalf tonight. Be prepared for a great misfortune, should you attempt to take her place." ANDRE/FIRMIN Far too many notes for my taste - and most of them about Christine! All we've heard since we came is Miss Daae's name . . . GIRY Miss Daae has returned. FIRMIN I trust her midnight oil is well and truly burned. ANDRE Where precisely is she now? GIRY I thought it best that she went home . . . MEG She needed rest. RAOUL May I see her? GIRY No, monsieur, she will see no-one. CARLOTTA Will she sing? Will she sing? GIRY Here, I have a note . . . RAOUL/CARLOTTA/ANDRE Let me see it! FIRMIN Please! (Opens the letter and reads. The PHANTOM'S voice gradually takes over) "Gentlemen, I have now sent you several notes of the most amiable nature, detailing how my theatre is to be run. You have not followed my instructions. I shall give you one last chance . . ." PHANTOM'S VOICE (taking over) . . . Christine Daae has returned to you, and I am anxious her career should progress. In the new production of "Il Muto", you will therefore cast Carlotta as the Pageboy, and put Miss Daae in the role of Countess. The role which Miss Daae plays calls for charm and appeal. The role of the Pageboy is silent - which makes my casting, in a word . . . ideal. I shall watch the performance from my normal seat in Box Five, which will be kept empty for me. Should these commands be ignored, a disaster beyond your imagination will occur. FIRMIN (taking over) "I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, O.G." CARLOTTA Christine! ANDRE Whatever next . . .? CARLOTTA It's all a ploy to help Christine! FIRMIN This is insane . . . CARLOTTA I know who sent this: The Vicomte - her lover! RAOUL Indeed? Can you believe this? ANDRE Signora! CARLOTTA O traditori! FIRMIN This is a joke! ANDRE This changes nothing! CARLOTTA O mentitori! FIRMIN Signora! ANDRE You are our star! FIRMIN And always will be! ANDRE Signora . . . FIRMIN The man is mad! ANDRE We don't take orders! FIRMIN Miss Daae will be playing the Pageboy- the silent role . . . ANDRE/FIRMIN Carlotta will be playing the lead! CARLOTTA It's useless trying to appease me! You're only saying this to please me! Signori, e vero? Non, non, non voglio udire ! Lasciatemi morire! O padre mio! Dio! GIRY Who scorn his word, beware to those . . . CARLOTTA You have reviled me! GIRY The angel sees, the angel knows . . . RAOUL Why did Christine fly from my arms . . .? CARLOTTA You have rebuked me! ANDRE/FIRMIN Signora, pardon us . . . CARLOTTA You have replaced me! ANDRE/FIRMIN Please, Signora, we beseech you . . . GIRY This hour shall see your darkest fears . . . MEG/RAOUL I must see her . . . CARLOTTA Abbandonata! Deseredata! O, sventurata! GIRY The angel knows, the angel hears . . . RAOUL Where did she go . . .? CARLOTTA Abbandonata! Disgraziata! ANDRE/FIRMIN Signora, sing for us! Don't be a martyr . . . RAOUL/GIRY/MEG What new surprises lie in store . . .? ANDRE/FIRMIN Our star . . .! CARLOTTA Non vo' cantar!
