Angel of Music

PHANTOM:

Brava, brava, bravissima...


MEG:

Where in the world have you been hiding?

Really, you were perfect!

I only wish I knew your secret!

Who is this new tutor?


CHRISTINE:

Father once spoke of an angel ...

I used to dream he'd appear ...

Now as I sing I can sense him ...

And I know he's here ...

Here in this room he calls me softly ...

Somewhere inside ... hiding ...

Somehow I know he's always with me ...

He - the unseen genius ...


MEG:

I watched your face from the shadows

Distant through all the applause

I hear your voice in the darkness,

But the words aren't yours


CHRISTINE:

Angel of Music! Guide and guardian!

Grant to me your glory!


MEG:

Who is this angel? This ...


BOTH:

Angel of Music! Hide no longer!

Secret and strange angel ...


CHRISTINE:

He's with me, even now ...


MEG:

Your hands are cold ...


CHRISTINE:

All around me ...


MEG:

Your face, Christine, it's white ...


CHRISTINE:

It frightens me...


MEG:

Don't be frightened ...


GIRY:

Meg Giry. Are you a dancer?

Then come and practice.

My dear, I was asked to give you this


CHRISTINE:

A red scarf ... the attic ... Little Lotte ...


ANDRE:

A tour de force! No other way to describe it!


FIRMIN:

What a relief! Not a single refund!


MME. FIRMIN:

Greedy.


ANDRE:

Richard, I think we've made quite a discovery in Miss Daaé!


FIRMIN:

Here we are, Monsieur le Vicomte.


RAOUL:

Gentlemen if you wouldn't mind.

This is one visit I should prefer to make unaccompanied.


ANDRE:

As you wish, monsieur.


FIRMIN:

They appear to have met before ...

Little Lotte


RAOUL:

Christine Daaé, where is your scarf?


CHRISTINE:

Monsieur?


RAOUL:

You can't have lost it. Not after all the trouble I took.

I was just fourteen and soaked to the skin ...


CHRISTINE:

Because you had run into the sea to fetch my scarf.

Oh, Raoul. So it is you!


RAOUL:

Christine.

Little Lotte Let your mind wander ...


CHRISTINE:

Remember that, too ... ?


RAOUL:

Little Lotte thought: Am I fonder of dolls,


BOTH:

Or of goblins or shoes


CHRISTINE:

Or of riddles or frocks ...


RAOUL:

Those picnics in the attic?

or of chocolates


CHRISTINE:

Father playing the violin ...


RAOUL:

As we read to each other dark stories of the North ...


CHRISTINE:

No, what I love best, Lotte said, is when I'm asleep in my bed, and the Angel of Music sings songs in my head!"


BOTH:

The Angel of Music sings song in my head!


CHRISTINE:

Father said, "When I'm in heaven, child, I will send the Angel of Music to you".

Well, father is dead, Raoul, and I have been visited by the Angel of Music.


RAOUL:

There's no doubt of that. But now, we'll go to supper!


CHRISTINE:

No, Raoul, the Angel of Music is very strict.


RAOUL:

I shan't keep you up late!


CHRISTINE:

No, Raoul ...


RAOUL:

You must change. I must get my hat. Two minutes Little Lotte.


CHRISTINE:

Raoul!

Things have changed, Raoul
