※1막※ ** THINK OF ME CHRISTINE Think of me think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye. Remember me once in a while - please promise me you'll try. FIRMIN Andre, this is doing nothing for my nerves. ANDRE Don't fret, Firmin. CHRISTINE When you find that, once again, you long to take your heart back and be free - if you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me. (Transformation to the Gala. CHRISTINE is revealed in full costume) We never said our love was evergreen, or as unchanging as the sea - but if you can still remember stop and think of me . . . Think of all the things we've shared and seen - don't think about the things which might have been . . . Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned. Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind. Recall those days look back on all those times, think of the things we'll never do - there will never be a day, when I won't think of you . . . (Applause, bravos. Prominent among the bravos, those of the young RAOUL in the MANAGERS' box) RAOUL Can it be? Can it be Christine? Bravo! (he raises his opera-glasses) What a change! You're really not a bit the gawkish girl that once you were . . . (lowering his opera-glasses) She may not remember me, but I remember her . . . CHRISTINE We never said our love was evergreen, or as unchanging as the sea - but please promise me, that sometimes you will think of me! **ANGEL OF MUSIC PHANTOM'S VOICE Bravi, bravi, bravissimi . . . 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 (abstracted, entering the dressing room) 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 . . . (trance-like) Here in this room he calls me softly . . . somewhere inside . . . hiding . . . Somehow I know he's always with me . . . he - the unseen genius . . . MEG (uneasily) 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 . . . CHRISTINE (not hearing her, ecstatic) Angel of Music! Guide and guardian! Grant to me your glory! MEG (to herself) Who is this angel? This . . . BOTH Angel of Music! Hide no longer! Secret and strange angel . . . CHRISTINE (darkly) He's with me, even now . . . MEG (bewildered) Your hands are cold . . . CHRISTINE; All around me . . . MEG Your face, Christine, it's white . . . CHRISTINE It frightens me . . . MEG Don't be frightened . . . **THE MIRROR (ANGEL OF MUSIC) PHANTOM'S VOICE Insolent boy! This slave of fashion basking in your glory! Ignorant fool! This brave young suitor, sharing in my triumph! CHRISTINE (spell-bound) Angel! I hear you! Speak - I listen . . . stay by my side, guide me! Angel, my soul was weak - forgive me . . . enter at last, Master! PHANTOM'S VOICE Flattering child, you shall know me, see why in shadow I hide! Look at your face in the mirror - I am there inside! (The figure of the PHANTOM becomes discernible behind the mirror) CHRISTINE (ecstatic) Angel of Music! Guide and guardian! Grant to me your glory! Angel of Music! Hide no longer! Come to me, strange angel . . . PHANTOM'S VOICE I am your Angel . . . Come to me: Angel of Music . . . (CHRISTINE walks towards the glowing, shimmering glass. Meanwhile, RAOUL has returned. He hears the voices and is puzzled. He tries the door. It is locked) RAOUL Whose is that voice . . .? Who is that in there . . .? (Inside the room the mirror opens. Behind it, in an inferno of white light, stands the PHANTOM. He reaches forward and takes CHRISTINE firmly, but not fiercely, by the wrist. His touch is cold, and CHRISTINE gasps) PHANTOM I am your Angel of Music . . . Come to me: Angel of Music . . . (CHRISTINE disappears through the mirror, which closes behind her. The door of the dressing room suddenly unlocks and swings open, and RAOUL enters to find the room empty) RAOUL Christine! Angel! **THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA CHRISTINE In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came . . . that voice which calls to me and speaks my name . . . And do I dream again? For now I find the Phantom of the Opera is there - inside my mind . . . PHANTOM 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 . . . CHRISTINE Those who have seen your face draw back in fear . . . I am the mask you wear . . . PHANTOM It's me they hear . . . BOTH Your/my spirit and your/my voice, in one combined: the Phantom of the Opera is there - inside your/my mind . . . OFFSTAGE VOICES He's there, the Phantom of the Opera . . . Beware the Phantom of the Opera . . . PHANTOM In all your fantasies, you always knew that man and mystery . . . CHRISTINE . . . were both in you . . . BOTH And in this labyrinth, where night is blind, the Phantom of the Opera is there/here - inside your/my mind . . . Sing, my Angel of Music! CHRISTINE He's there, the Phantom of the Opera . . . **THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT PHANTOM I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne . . . to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music . . . music . . . You have come here, for one purpose, and one alone . . . Since the moment I first heard you sing, I have needed you with me, to serve me, to sing, for my music . . . my music . . . (changing mood) Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation . . . Darkness stirs and wakes imagination . . . Silently the senses abandon their defences . . . Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour . . . Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender . . . Turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light - and listen to the music of the night . . . Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams! Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before! Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar! And you'll live as you've never lived before . . . Softly, deftly, music shall surround you . . . Feel it, hear it, closing in around you . . . Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, in this darkness which you know you cannot fight - the darkness of the music of the night . . . Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world! Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Let your soul Take you where you long to be! Only then can you belong to me . . . Floating, falling, sweet intoxication! Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation! Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in to the power of the music that I write - the power of the music of the night . . . PHANTOM You alone can make my song take flight - help me make the music of the night . . . **I Remember_Stranger Than You Dream It CHRISTINE I remember there was mist . . . swirling mist upon a vast, glassy lake . . . There were candles all around and on the lake there was a boat, and in the boat there was a man . . . (She rises and approaches the PHANTOM who does not see her. As she reaches for his mask, he turns, almost catching her. This happens several times) Who was that shape in the shadows? Whose is the face in the mask? (She finally succeeds in tearing the mask from his face. The PHANTOM springs up and rounds on her furiously. She clearly sees his face. The audience does not, as he is standing in profile and in shadow) PHANTOM Damn you! You little prying Pandora! You little demon - is this what you wanted to see? Curse you! You little lying Delilah! You little viper - now you cannot ever be free! Damn you . . . Curse you . . . (a pause) Stranger than you dreamt it - can you even dare to look or bear to think of me: this loathsome gargoyle, who burns in hell, but secretly yearns for heaven, secretly . . . secretly . . . But, Christine . . . Fear can Turn to love - you'll learn to see, to find the man behind the monster: this . . . repulsive carcass, who seems a beast, but secretly dreams of beauty, secretly . . . secretly . . . Oh, Christine . . . (He holds out his hand for the mask, which she gives to him. He puts it on, turning towards the audience as he sings): Come we must return - those two fools who run my theatre will be missing you. **BACKSTAGE BUQUET Like yellow parchment is his skin . . . a great black hole served as the nose that never grew . . . (Demonstrating his method of self-defence against the Punjab lasso, he inserts his hand between his neck and the noose, and then pulls the rope taut. With a mixture of horror and delight, the BALLET GIRLS applaud this demonstration) (explaining to them) You must be always on your guard, or he will catch you with his magical lasso! (A trap opens up centre stage casting a shadow of the PHANTOM as he emerges. The GIRLS, linking hands, run off terrified. The PHANTOM, leading CHRISTINE, fixes his stare on BUQUET. Sweeping his cape around CHRISTINE, he exits with her. But before they go, GIRY has entered, observing. She turns on BUQUET) GIRY 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 . . . **PRIMA DONNA (ALL look at CARLOTTA, as the MANAGERS approach her lovingly) ANDRE Your public needs you! FIRMIN We need you, too! CARLOTTA (unassuaged) Would you not rather have your precious little ingenue? ANDRE/FIRMIN Signora, no! the world wants you! (The MANAGERS adopt their most persuasive attitudes) ANDRE/FIRMIN Prima donna first lady of the stage! Your devotees are on their knees to implore you! ANDRE Can you bow out when they're shouting your name? FIRMIN Think of how they all adore you! BOTH Prima donna, enchant us once again! ANDRE Think of your muse . . . FIRMIN And of the queues round the theatre! BOTH Can you deny us the triumph in store? Sing, prima donna, once more! (CARLOTTA registers her acceptance as the MANAGERS continue to cajole and the OTHERS reflect variously on the situation) RAOUL Christine spoke of an angel . . . CARLOTTA (to herself, in triumph) Prima donna your song shall live again! ANDRE/FIRMIN (to CARLOTTA) Think of your public! CARLOTTA You took a snub but there's a public who needs you! GIRY (referring to CHRISTINE) She has heard the voice of the angel of music . . . ANDRE/FIRMIN (to CARLOTTA) Those who hear your voice liken you to an angel! CARLOTTA Think of their cry of undying support! RAOUL Is this her angel of music . . .? ANDRE (to FIRMlN) We get our opera . . . FIRMIN (to ANDRE) She gets her limelight! CARLOTTA Follow where the limelight leads you! MEG Is this ghost an angel or a madman . . .? RAOUL Angel or madman . . .? ANDRE/FIRMIN (aside) Leading ladies are a trial! GIRY Heaven help you, those who doubt . . . CARLOTTA You'll sing again, and to unending ovation! RAOUL Orders! Warnings! Lunatic demands! GIRY This miscasting will invite damnation . . . ANDRE/FIRMIN Tears . . . oaths . . . lunatic demands are regular occurrences! MEG Bliss or damnation? Which has claimed her . . .? CARLOTTA Think how you'll shine in that final encore! Sing, prima donna, once more! GIRY Oh fools, to have flouted his warnings! RAOUL Surely, for her sake . . . MEG Surely he'll strike back . . . ANDRE/FIRMIN Surely there'll be further scenes - worse than this! GIRY Think, before these demands are rejected! RAOUL . . . I must see these demands are rejected! MEG . . . if his threats and demands are rejected! ANDRE/FIRMIN Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve a chorus girl, who's gone and slept with the patron? Raoul and the soubrette, entwined in love's duet! Although he may demur, he must have been with her! MEG/RAOUL Christine must be protected! CARLOTTA O, fortunata! Non ancor abbandonata! ANDRE/FIRMIN You'd never get away with all this in a play, but if it's loudly sung and in a foreign tongue it's just the sort of story audiences adore, in fact a perfect opera! RAOUL His game is over! GIRY This is a game you cannot hope to win! RAOUL And in Box Five a new game will begin . . . GIRY For, if his curse is on this opera . . . MEG But if his curse is on this opera . . . ANDRE/FIRMIN Prima donna the world is at your feet! A nation waits, and how it hates to be cheated! CARLOTTA The stress that falls upon a famous prima donna! Terrible diseases, coughs and colds and sneezes! Still, the dryest throat will reach the highest note, in search of perfect opera! MEG/GIRY . . . then I fear the outcome . . . RAOUL Christine plays the Pageboy, Carlotta plays the Countess . . . GIRY . . . should you dare to . . MEG . . . when you once again . . . ALL Light up the stage with that age old rapport! Sing, prima donna, once more! PHANTOM'S VOICE So, it is to be war between us! If these demands are not met, a disaster beyond your imagination will occur! ALL Once more! **ALL I ASK OF YOU (A moment, as their eyes meet. The mood changes.) RAOUL No more talk of darkness, Forget these wide-eyed fears. I'm here, nothing can harm you - my words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears. I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you . . . CHRISTINE Say you love me every waking moment, turn my head with talk of summertime . . . Say you need me with you, now and always . . . promise me that all you say is true - that's all I ask of you . . . RAOUL Let me be your shelter, let me be your light. You're safe: No-one will find you - your fears are far behind you . . . CHRISTINE All I want is freedom, a world with no more night . . . and you always beside me to hold me and to hide me . . . RAOUL Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime . . . Let me lead you from your solitude . . . Say you need me with you here, beside you . . . anywhere you go, let me go too - Christine, that's all I ask of you . . . CHRISTINE Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime . . . say the word and I will follow you . . . BOTH Share each day with me, each night, each morning . . . CHRISTINE Say you love me . . . RAOUL You know I do . . . BOTH Love me - that's all I ask of you . . . (They kiss) Anywhere you go let me go too . . . Love me - that's all I ask of you . . (CHRISTINE starts from her reverie) CHRISTINE I must go - they'll wonder where I am . . . wait for me, Raoul! RAOUL Christine, I love you! CHRISTINE; Order your fine horses! Be with them at the door! RAOUL And soon you'll be beside me! CHRISTINE You'll guard me, and you'll guide me . . . (They hurry off. The PHANTOM emerges from behind the statue) PHANTOM I gave you my music . . . made your song take wing . . . and now, how you've repaid me: denied me and betrayed me . . . He was bound to love you when he heard you sing . . . Christine . . . Christine . . . RAOUL/CHRISTINE (offstage) Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime . . . say the word and I will follow you . . . Share each day with me, each night, each morning . . . PHANTOM You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you . . .! (As the roof of the opera house disappears, the opera curtain closes and the PRINCIPALS in 'Il Muto' appear through it for their bows, CHRISTINE conspicuously dressed in CARLOTTA'S costume. simultaneously, we hear the maniacal laughter of the PHANTOM and see him high above the stage, perilously rocking the chandelier. The lights of the chandelier begin flickering and, at a great cry from him, it descends, swinging more and more madly over the orchestra pit) PHANTOM Go!! (The chandelier falls to the stage at CHRISTINE'S feet) ========================= ※2막※ -------------- masquerade ! ANDRE M'sieur Firmin? FIRMIN M'sieur Andre? FIRMIN Dear Andre what a splendid party! ANDRE The prologue to a bright new year! FIRMIN Quite a night! I'm impressed! FIRMIN Well, one does one's best . . . ANDRE/FIRMIN (raising their glasses) Here's to us! FIRMIN I must say, all the same, that it's a shame that 'Phantom' fellow isn't here! CHORUS Masquerade! Paper faces on parade . . . Masquerade! Hide your face, so the world will never find you! Masquerade! Every face a different shade . . . Masquerade! Look around - there's another mask behind you! Flash of mauve . . . Splash of puce . . . Fool and king . . . Ghoul and goose . . .

MEG/GlRY And all our fears are in the past! ANDRE Six months. . . PIANGI Of relief! CARLOTTA Of delight! ANDRE/FIRMIN Of Elysian peace! MEG/GIRY And we can breathe at last! CARLOTTA No more notes! PIANGI No more ghost! GIRY Here's a health! ANDRE Here's a toast: to a prosperous year! FIRMIN To the new chandelier! PIANGI/CARLOTTA And may its splendour never fade! FIRMIN Six months! GIRY What a joy! MEG What a change! FIRMIN/ANDRE What a blessed release! ANDRE And what a masquerade! CHRISTINE Think of it! A secret engagement! Look - your future bride! Just think of it! RAOUL But why is it secret? What have we to hide? CHRISTINE Please, let's not fight . . . RAOUL Christine, you're free! CHRISTINE Wait till the time is right . . . RAOUL When will that be? It's an engagement, not a crime! Christine, What are you afraid of? CHRISTINE Let's not argue . . . RAOUL Let's not argue . . . CHRISTINE Please pretend . . . RAOUL I can only hope I'll . . . CHRISTINE You will . . . BOTH . . . understand in time . . . ALL Masquerade! Paper faces on parade! Masquerade! Hide your face, so the world will never find you! Masquerade!

Masquerade! Grinning yellows, spinning reds . . . Masquerade! Take your fill - let the spectacle astound you! ------------------- Why so silent...? PHANTOM Why so silent, good messieurs? Did you think that I had left you for good? Have you missed me, good messieurs? I have written you an opera! Here I bring the finished score - "Don Juan Triumphant"! (>▽<;) I advise you to comply - my instructions should be clear - Remember there are worse things than a shattered chandelier . . . Your chains are still mine - you will sing for me! ------------------- note2 ANDRE Ludicrous! Have you seen the score? FIRMIN (entering) Simply ludicrous! ANDRE It's the final straw! FIRMIN This is lunacy! Well, you know my views . . . ANDRE Utter lunacy! FIRMIN But we daren't refuse . . . ANDRE (groans) Not another chandelier . . . FIRMIN Look, my friend, what we have here . . . (He has two notes from the PHANTOM, one of which he hands to ANDRE, who opens it and reads): ANDRE "Dear Andre, Re my orchestrations: We need another first bassoon. Get a player with tone - and that third trombone has to go! The man could not be deafer, so please preferably one who plays in tune!" FIRMIN (reading his letter) "Dear Firmin, vis a vis my opera: some chorus-members must be sacked. If you could, find out which has a sense of pitch - wisely, though, I've managed to assign a rather minor role to those who cannot act! " (They are interrupted by the arrival of CARLOTTA and PIANGI, both furiously brandishing similar notes) CARLOTTA Outrage! FIRMIN What is it now? CARLOTTA This whole affair is an outrage! FIRMIN Signora, please . . . ANDRE Now what's the matter? CARLOTTA Have you seen the size of my part? ANDRE Signora, listen . . . PIANGI It's an insult! FIRMIN Not you as well! PIANGI Just look at this - it's an insult! FIRMIN Please, understand . . . ANDRE Signor! Signora! CARLOTTA The things I have to do for my art! PIANGI (stabbing a finger at the open score) If you can call this gibberish "art" ! (RAOUL and CHRISTINE enter. CARLOTTA bristles) CARLOTTA (dryly) Ah! Here's our little flower! FIRMIN Ah, Miss Daae, quite the lady of the hour! ANDRE (explaining) You have secured the largest role in this "Don Juan". CARLOTTA (half to herself) Christine Daae? She doesn't have the voice! FIRMIN (hearing this, to CARLOTTA) Signora, please! RAOUL (to the MANAGERS) Then I take it you're agreeing. CARLOTTA (aside) She's behind this . . . ANDRE It appears we have no choice. CARLOTTA (unable to contain herself any longer, points accusingly) She's the one behind this! Christine Daae! CHRISTINE (who has been silent till now, incensed at this) How dare you! CARLOTTA I'm not a fool! CHRISTINE You evil woman! How dare you! CARLOTTA You think I'm blind? CHRISTINE This isn't my fault! I don't want any part in this plot! FIRMIN Miss Daae, surely . . . ANDRE But why not? PIANGI (baffled, to CARLOTTA) What does she say? FIRMIN (reasonably) It's your decision - (Suddenly rounding on her) But why not? CARLOTTA (to PIANGI) She's backing out! ANDRE You have a duty! CHRISTINE I cannot sing it, duty or not! RAOUL (comforting) Christine . . . Christine . . . You don't have to . . . they can't make you . . . (MEG and GlRY arrive, the latter bearing another note from the PHANTOM) GIRY Please, monsieur: another note. (The MANAGERS gesture: "read it". As she reads, ALL react variously, as they are singled out) GIRY "Fondest greetings to you all! A few instructions just before rehearsal starts: Carlotta must be taught to act . . . ," (The PHANTOM'S voice gradually takes over from her) PHANTOM'S VOICE . . . not her normal trick of strutting round the stage. Our Don Juan must lose some weight - it's not healthy in a man of Piangi's age. And my managers must learn that their place is in an office, not the arts. As for Miss Christine Daae . . . No doubt she'll do her best - it's true her voice is good. She knows, though, should she wish to excel she has much still to learn, if pride will let her return to me, her teacher, her teacher . . . Your obedient friend . . . (The PHANTOM'S voice fades out and GIRY takes over) GIRY ". . . and Angel . . ." (Attention now focuses on RAOUL whose eyes are suddenly bright with a new thought) RAOUL We have all been blind - and yet the answer is staring us in the face . . . This could be the chance to ensnare our clever friend . . . ANDRE We're listening . . . FIRMIN Go on. RAOUL We shall play his game - perform his work - but remember we hold the ace . . . For, if Miss Daae sings, he is certain to attend . . . ANDRE (carried along by the idea) We make certain the doors are barred . . . FIRMIN (likewise) We make certain our men are there . . . RAOUL We make certain they're armed . . . RAOUL/ANDRE/FIRMIN (savouring their victory) The curtain falls - his reign will end! (ALL have been listening intently. GIRY is the first to express a reaction. CHRISTINE remains silent and withdrawn) GIRY Madness! ANDRE I'm not so sure . . . FIRMIN Not if it works . . . GIRY This is madness! ANDRE The tide will turn! GIRY Monsieur, believe me - there is no way of turning the tide! FIRMIN (to GIRY) You stick to ballet! RAOUL (rounding on GIRY) Then help us! GIRY Monsieur, I can't . . . RAOUL Instead of warning us . . . RAOUL/ANDRE/FIRMIN Help us! GIRY I wish I could . . . RAOUL/ANDRE/FIRMIN Don't make excuses! RAOUL Or could it be that you're on his side? GIRY (to RAOUL) Monsieur, believe me, I intend no ill . . . (to ANDRE and FIRMIN) But messieurs, be careful - we have seen him kill . . . ANDRE/FIRMIN (to GIRY) We say he'll fall and fall he will! CARLOTTA She's the one behind this! Christine! This is all her doing! PIANGI This is the truth! Christine Daae! RAOUL This is his undoing! ANDRE/FIRMIN (to RAOUL) If you succeed you free us all - this so called "angel" has to fall! RAOUL Angel of music, fear my fury - Here is where you fall! GIRY (to RAOUL) Hear my warning! Fear his fury! CARLOTTA What glory can she hope to gain? It's clear to all the girl's insane! ANDRE (to FIRMIN) If Christine sings We'll get our man . . . PIANGI She is crazy! She is raving! FIRMIN (to ANDRE) If Christine helps us in this plan . . . RAOUL Say your prayers, black angel of death! CHRISTINE (vainly pleading amidst the tumult) Please don't . . . ANDRE (to FIRMIN) If Christine won't, then no-one can . . . GIRY (to RAOUL) Monsieur, I beg you, do not do this . . . PIANGI/CARLOTTA Gran Dio! Che imbroglio! ANDRE/FIRMIN This will seal his fate! CHRISTINE (bursting through the hubbub with a great cry) If you don't stop, I'll go mad!!! (to RAOUL, pleading) Raoul, I'm frightened - don't make me do this . . . Raoul, it scares me - don't put me through this ordeal by fire . . . he'll take me, I know . . . we'll be parted for ever . . . he won't let me go . . . What I once used to dream I now dread . . . if he finds me, it won't ever end . . . and he'll always be there, singing songs in my head . . . he'll always be there, singing songs in my head . . . (ALL stare at her) CARLOTTA She's mad . . . RAOUL (to CHRISTINE) You said yourself he was nothing but a man . . . Yet while he lives, he will haunt us till we're dead . . . (CHRISTINE turns away unhappily) CHRISTINE Twisted every way, what answer can I give? Am I to risk my life, to win the chance to live? Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice? Do I become his prey? Do I have any choice? He kills without a thought, he murders all that's good . . . I know I can't refuse and yet, I wish I could . . . Oh God - if I agree, what horrors wait for me in this, the Phantom's opera . . .? RAOUL (to CHRISTINE, very tenderly) Christine, Christine, don't think that I don't care - but every hope and every prayer rests on you now . . . (CHRISTINE, overcome by her conflicting emotions, turns away and hurries out. RAOUL strides forward and addresses an imaginary PHANTOM) RAOUL So, it is to be war between us! But this time, clever friend, the disaster will be yours! **WISHING YOU WERE SOMEHOW HERE AGAIN CHRISTINE You were once my one companion . . . you were all that mattered . . . You were once a friend and father - then my world was shattered . . . Wishing you were somehow here again . . . wishing you were somehow near . . . Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed, somehow you would be here . . . Wishing I could hear your voice again . . . knowing that I never would . . . Dreaming of you won't help me to do all that you dreamed I could . . . Passing bells and sculpted angels, cold and monumental, seem, for you, the wrong companions - you were warm and gentle . . . Too many years fighting back tears . . . Why can't the past just die . . .? Wishing you were somehow here again . . . knowing we must say goodbye . . . Try to forgive . . . teach me to live . . . give me the strength to try . . . No more memories, no more silent tears . . . No more gazing across the wasted years . . . Help me say goodbye. **Wandering child PHANTOM (very soft and enticing) Wandering child . . . so lost . . . so helpless . . . yearning for my guidance . . . (Bewildered, CHRISTINE looks up, and murmurs breathlessly): CHRISTINE Angel . . . or father . . . friend . . . or Phantom . . . ? Who is it there, staring . . . ? PHANTOM (more and more hypnotic) Have you forgotten your Angel . . .? CHRISTINE Angel . . . oh, speak . . . What endless longings echo in this whisper . . .! (RAOUL appears in the shadows and watches for a moment, transfixed) PHANTOM (now drawing CHRISTINE towards him) Too long you've wandered in winter . . . RAOUL (to himself a murmur) Once again she is his . . . PHANTOM Far from my far-reaching gaze . . . RAOUL Once again she returns . . . CHRISTINE (increasingly mesmerized) Wildly my mind beats against you . . . PHANTOM You resist . . . PHANTOM/CHRISTINE Yet your/the soul obeys . . . RAOUL . . . to the arms of her angel . . . angel or demon . . . still he calls her . . . luring her back, from the grave . . . angel or dark seducer . . .? Who are you, strange angel . . .? PHANTOM Angel of Music! You denied me, turning from true beauty . . . Angel of Music! Do not shun me . . . Come to your strange Angel . . . CHRISTINE Angel of Music! I denied you, turning from true beauty . . . Angel of Music! My protector . . . Come to me, strange Angel . . . (CHRISTINE moves towards the figure of the PHANTOM) PHANTOM (beckoning her) I am your Angel of Music . . . Come to me: Angel of Music . . . RAOUL (suddenly calling out) Angel of darkness! Cease this torment! (Inexorably, the PHANTOM continues to beckon CHRISTINE) PHANTOM I am your Angel of Music . . . Come to me: Angel of Music . . . **THE POINT OF NO RETURN DON JUAN (PHANTOM - behind the curtain) Passarino - go away! For the trap is set and waits for its prey . . . (PASSARINO leaves. CHRISTINE (AMINTA) enters. She takes off her cloak and sits down. Looks about her. No- one. She starts on an apple. The PHANTOM, disguised as DON JUAN pretending to be PASSARINO, emerges. He now wears PASSARINO's robe, the cowl of which hides his face. His first words startle her) DON JUAN (PHANTOM) (357K) You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge, in pursuit of that wish, which till now has been silent, silent . . . I have brought you, that our passions may fuse and merge - in your mind you've already succumbed to me dropped all defences completely succumbed to me - now you are here with me: no second thoughts, you've decided, decided . . . Past the point of no return - no backward glances: the games we've played till now are at an end . . . Past all thought of "if" or "when" - no use resisting: abandon thought, and let the dream descend . . . What raging fire shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlocks its door? What sweet seduction lies before us . . .? Past the point of no return, the final threshold - what warm, unspoken secrets will we learn? Beyond the point of no return . . . AMINTA (CHRISTINE) You have brought me to that moment where words run dry, to that moment where speech disappears into silence, silence . . . I have come here, hardly knowing the reason why . . . In my mind, I've already imagined our bodies entwining defenceless and silent - and now I am here with you: no second thoughts, I've decided, decided . . . Past the point of no return - no going back now: our passion-play has now, at last, begun . . . Past all thought of right or wrong - one final question: how long should we two wait, before we're one . . .? When will the blood begin to race the sleeping bud burst into bloom? When will the flames, at last, consume us . . .? BOTH Past the point of no return the final threshold - the bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn . . . We've passed the point of no return . . . (By now the audience and the POLICE have realised that SIGNOR PIANGI is dead behind the curtain, and it is the PHANTOM who sings in his place. CHRISTINE knows it too. As final confirmation, the PHANTOM sings): PHANTOM Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime . . . Lead me, save me from my solitude . . . (He takes from his finger a ring and holds it out to her. Slowly she takes it and puts it on her finger.) Say you want me with you, here beside you . . . Anywhere you go let me go too - Christine that's all I ask of . . . (크리스틴양, 에릭군 가면 휘리릭. 에릭군절규.(영어표현불가능☜)) BEYOND THE LAKE CHRISTINE Have you gorged yourself at last, in your lust for blood? (no reply) Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh? PHANTOM (Coldly) That fate, which condemns me to wallow in blood has also denied me the joys of the flesh . . . this face - the infection which poisons our love . . . (He lakes the bridal veil from the dummy, and moves slowly towards her) This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing . . . A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing . . . (He places the veil on her head) Pity comes too late - turn around and face your fate: an eternity of this before your eyes! (They are almost touching. She looks calmly and coldly into his face) CHRISTINE This haunted face holds no horror for me now . . . It's in your soul that the true distortion lies . . . (The PHANTOM suddenly senses RAOUL'S presence. Behind the portcullis, RAOUL climbs out of the water) PHANTOM Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest! (to RAOUL) Sir, this is indeed an unparalleled delight! I had rather hoped that you would come. And now my wish comes true - you have truly made my night! RAOUL (pleading, grasping the bars of the gate) Free her! Do what you like, only free her! Have you no pity? PHANTOM (to CHRISTINE, dryly) Your lover makes a passionate plea! CHRISTINE RAOUL I love her! Does that mean nothing? I love her! Show some compassion . . . PHANTOM (snarls furiously at RAOUL) The world showed no compassion to me! RAOUL Christine . . . Christine . . . (to PHANTOM) Let me see her . . . PHANTOM (drily) Be my guest, sir . . (He gestures, and the fence rises. RAOUL enters) Monsieur, I bid you welcome! Did you think that I would harm her? Why should I make her pay for the sins which are yours? (So saying, he takes the Punjab lasso and, before RAOUL has a chance to move, catches him by the neck. The end of the rope, of which the PHANTOM has let go, remains magically suspended in mid-air) (taunting) Order your fine horses now! Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes! Nothing can save you now - except perhaps Christine . . . (He turns to her) Start a new life with me - Buy his freedom with your love! Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death! This is the choice - This is the point of no return! CHRISTINE (to the PHANTOM) The tears I might have shed for your dark fate grow cold, and turn to tears of hate . . . RAOUL (despairing) Christine, forgive me please forgive me . . . I did it all for you, and all for nothing . . . CHRISTINE (looking at the PHANTOM but to herself) Farewell my fallen idol and false friend . . . One by one I've watched illusions shattered . . . PHANTOM Past all hope of cries for help: no point in fighting - RAOUL Either way you choose, he has to win . . . PHANTOM For either way you choose, you cannot win! So, do you end your days with me, or do you send him to his grave? RAOUL (to PHANTOM) Why make her lie to you, to save me? CHRISTINE Angel of Music . . . PHANTOM Past the point of no return - RAOUL For pity's sake, Christine, say no! CHRISTINE . . . why this torment? PHANTOM . . . the final threshold . . . RAOUL Don't throw your life away for my sake . . . CHRISTINE When will you see reason . . .? PHANTOM His life is now the prize which you must earn! RAOUL I fought so hard to free you . . . CHRISTINE Angel of Music . . . PHANTOM You've passed the point of no return . . . CHRISTINE . . . you deceived me - I gave my mind blindly . . . PHANTOM (to CHRISTINE) You try my patience - make your choice! (She reflects for a moment, then with resolution moves slowly towards the PHANTOM) CHRISTINE (quietly at first, then with growing emotion) Pitiful creature of darkness . . . What kind of life have you known . . .? God give me courage to show you you are not alone . . . (Now calmly facing him, she kisses him long and full on the lips. The embrace lasts a long time. RAOUL watches in horror and wonder. The PHANTOM lakes a lighted candle and holds it above RAOUL's head. A tense moment. But the suspended rope suddenly falls harmlessly - the PHANTOM has burnt the thread by which the noose was held. Resigned, he addresses RAOUL, as we hear the offstage voices of the approaching MOB) MOB Some: Track down this murderer - he must be found! Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground! Too long he's preyed on us - but now we know: the Phantom of the Opera is there deep down below . . Others: Who is this monster, this murdering beast? Revenge for Piangi! Revenge for Buquet! This creature must never go free . . . PHANTOM Take her - forget me - forget all of this . . . Leave me alone - forget all you've seen . . . Go now - don't let them find you! Take the boat - leave me here - go now, don't wait . . . Just take her and go - before it's too late . . . Go . . . Go now - go now and leave me! (RAOUL and CHRISTINE move off towards the boat. The PHANTOM looks mockingly at his mask. The musical box starts up magically, and he listens to it) Masquerade . . . Paper faces on parade . . . Masquerade . . . Hide your face so the world will never find you . . . (CHRISTINE re-enters and walks slowly towards him. She takes off her ring and gives it to the PHANTOM) PHANTOM Christine, I love you . . . (She hurries off. The PHANTOM puts the ring on his finger) CHRISTINE (In the distance, to RAOUL, as the boat pulls away in the shadow) Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime . . . say the word and I will follow you . . RAOUL Share each day with me . . . CHRISTINE . . . each night . . . BOTH . . . each morning . . . PHANTOM (looking after her) You alone can make my song take flight - it's over now, the music of the night . . . (The PHANTOM walks slowly towards the throne. He takes his place on it, sitting on his cloak. The MOB, including MEG, appears above, climbing down the portcullis. As the MOB enters the lair, the PHANTOM wraps his cloak around himself and disappears. MEG crosses to the throne and picks up his mask in her small hand)... END OF ACT TWO PHANTOM OF THE OPERA..
