Lyrics

[00:02.85] ANDRE:
[00:03.16] Ludicrous!
[00:03.66] Have you seen the score?
[00:05.09] FIRMIN:
[00:05.47] Simply ludicrous!
[00:05.84] ANDRE:
[00:06.09] It's the final straw!
[00:07.21] FIRMIN:
[00:07.46] This is lunacy!
[00:08.09] Well, you know my views
[00:09.83] ANDRE:
[00:10.46] ...Utter lunacy!
[00:10.90] FIRMIN:
[00:11.33] But we daren't refuse ...
[00:12.71] ANDRE:
[00:12.96] Not another
[00:13.45] chandelier
[00:14.14] FIRMIN:
[00:14.64] ...Look, my friend, what
[00:16.58] we have here ...
[00:18.45] ANDRE:
[00:20.32] "Dear Andre,
[00:22.00] Re my orchestrations:
[00:23.56] We need another first bassoon.
[00:26.12] Get a player with tone -
[00:29.43] and that third trombone
[00:31.99] has to go!
[00:32.73] The man could not be deafer,
[00:33.98] so please preferably one
[00:34.86] who plays in tune!"
[00:35.79] FIRMIN:
[00:35.98] "Dear Firmin,
[00:36.54] vis a vis my opera:
[00:37.91] some chorus-members must be sacked.
[00:39.72] If you could, find out which
[00:42.72] has a sense of pitch -
[00:44.28] wisely, though,
[00:44.84] I've managed to assign a
[00:46.46] rather minor role to those
[00:48.09] who cannot act!"
[00:49.21] CARLOTTA:
[00:49.77] Outrage!
[00:50.02] FIRMIN:
[00:50.33] What is it now?
[00:51.33] CARLOTTA:
[00:51.83] This whole affair is
[00:52.39] an outrage!
[00:52.83] ANDRE:
[00:53.08] Now what's the matter?
[00:53.89] CARLOTTA:
[00:54.14] Have you seen
[00:54.89] the size of my part?
[00:56.01] ANDRE:
[00:56.26] Signora, listen ...
[00:57.01] PIANGI:
[00:57.51] It's an insult!
[00:58.32] FIRMIN:
[00:58.57] Not you as well!
[00:59.51] PIANGI:
[00:59.76] Just look at this -
[01:01.00] it's an insult!
[01:01.63] FIRMIN:
[01:01.94] Please, understand ...
[01:02.62] ANDRE:
[01:02.87] Signor! Signora!
[01:03.37] CARLOTTA:
[01:03.62] The things I have
[01:04.87] to do for my art!
[01:06.31] PIANGI:
[01:06.56] If you can call
[01:07.56] this gibberish "art" !
[01:08.68] CARLOTTA:
[01:09.11] Ah! Here's our little flower!
[01:12.61] FIRMIN:
[01:13.80] Ah Miss Daae,
[01:14.48] quite the lady
[01:15.42] of the hour!
[01:16.61] ANDRE:
[01:17.04] You have
[01:17.60] secured the largest role
[01:18.72] in this "Don Juan".
[01:19.72] CARLOTTA:
[01:20.22] Christine Daae?
[01:20.72] She doesn't have
[01:21.85] the voice!
[01:22.72] FIRMIN:
[01:22.97] Signora, please!
[01:23.53] RAOUL:
[01:24.09] Then I take it
[01:25.09] you're agreeing.
[01:25.78] CARLOTTA:
[01:26.21] She's behind this ...
[01:27.21] ANDRE:
[01:27.52] It appears we have
[01:28.46] no choice.
[01:28.96] CARLOTTA:
[01:29.21] She's the one
[01:29.89] behind this!
[01:30.33] Christine Daae!
[01:30.83] CHRISTINE:
[01:31.21] How dare you!
[01:31.89] CARLOTTA:
[01:32.14] I'm not a fool!
[01:33.20] CHRISTINE:
[01:33.82] You evil woman!
[01:34.39] How dare you!
[01:34.45] CARLOTTA:
[01:34.51] You think I'm blind?
[01:35.76] CHRISTINE:
[01:36.01] This isn't my fault!
[01:37.07] I don't want any
[01:38.07] part in this plot!
[01:39.00] FIRMIN:
[01:39.19] Miss Daae, surely ...
[01:40.25] ANDRE:
[01:40.44] But why not?
[01:41.19] PIANGI:
[01:41.69] What does she say?
[01:41.82] FIRMIN:
[01:41.88] It's your decision
[01:42.62] But why not?
[01:42.75] CARLOTTA:
[01:42.75] She's backing out!
[01:43.56] ANDRE:
[01:44.18] You have a duty!
[01:45.37] CHRISTINE:
[01:45.62] I cannot sing it,
[01:46.56] duty or not!
[01:47.37] RAOUL:
[01:47.49] Christine ...
[01:49.24] Christine ...
[01:50.55] You don't have to ...
[01:52.48] they can't make you ...
[01:54.29] GIRY:
[01:55.29] Please, monsieur:
[01:56.29] another note.
[01:57.85] "Fondest greetings
[02:02.90] to you all !
[02:04.59] A few instructions
[02:07.65] just before
[02:08.52] rehearsal starts:
[02:10.39] ERIK:
[02:11.14] Carlotta must be
[02:14.26] taught to act ... ,"
[02:16.51] ... not her normal trick
[02:17.94] of strutting round the stage.
[02:19.88] Our Don Juan must
[02:24.49] lose some weight -
[02:25.74] it's not healthy in
[02:27.37] a man of Piangi's age.
[02:29.74] And my managers
[02:33.98] must learn
[02:35.23] that their place is in
[02:37.66] an office, not the arts.
[02:40.41] As for Miss Christine Daae ...
[02:46.96] No doubt she'll
[02:50.02] do her best - it's
[02:52.70] true her voice is
[02:54.51] good. She knows, though,
[02:57.44] should she wish to excel
[03:00.50] she has much still
[03:03.37] to learn, if pride will
[03:06.68] let her
[03:07.68] return to me, her
[03:10.80] teacher,
[03:14.23] her teacher ...
[03:15.17] GIRY:
[03:15.73] Your obedient friend ...
[03:21.28] "... and Angel ..."
[03:23.53] RAOUL:
[03:24.15] We have all been
[03:28.65] blind - and yet the
[03:32.95] answer is staring us
[03:34.45] in the face ...
[03:35.45] This could be the
[03:37.95] chance to ensnare our
[03:39.94] clever friend ...
[03:41.32] ANDRE:
[03:41.69] We're listening
[03:43.06] FIRMIN:
[03:45.06] ...Go on.
[03:46.49] RAOUL:
[03:46.87] We shall play his
[03:47.68] game - perform his
[03:48.43] work - but remember we
[03:49.55] hold the ace ...
[03:50.30] For, if Miss Daae
[03:51.05] sings, he is certain
[03:51.99] to attend ...
[03:54.29] ANDRE:
[03:54.54] We make certain
[03:55.42] the doors are barred ...
[03:56.29] FIRMIN:
[03:56.48] We make certain
[03:57.04] our men are there ...
[03:58.16] RAOUL:
[03:58.41] We make certain
[03:59.47] they're armed ...
[04:00.47] ANDRE/FIRMIN/RAOUL:
[04:01.03] The curtain falls.
[04:01.78] His reign will end!
[04:03.03] GIRY:
[04:04.28] Madness!
[04:04.53] ANDRE:
[04:05.09] I'm not so sure ...
[04:06.09] FIRMIN:
[04:06.28] Not if it works ...
[04:07.34] GIRY:
[04:07.40] This is madness!
[04:07.46] ANDRE:
[04:07.52] The tide will turn!
[04:07.90] GIRY:
[04:08.15] Monsieur, believe me -
[04:13.64] there is no way of
[04:14.58] turning the tide!
[04:15.26] FIRMIN:
[04:15.45] You stick to ballet!
[04:16.26] RAOUL:
[04:16.45] Then help us!
[04:17.13] GIRY:
[04:17.19] Monsieur, I can't ...
[04:18.13] RAOUL:
[04:18.32] Instead of warning us ...
[04:19.32] RAOUL/ANDRE/FIRMIN:
[04:19.50] Help us!
[04:20.00] GIRY:
[04:20.19] I wish I could ...
[04:21.19] RAOUL/ANDRE/FIRMIN:
[04:21.37] Don't make excuses!
[04:22.00] RAOUL:
[04:22.25] Or could it be that
[04:23.31] you're on his side?
[04:23.93] GIRY:
[04:23.93] Monsieur, believe me,
[04:24.06] I intend no ill ...
[04:24.87] But messieurs, be careful -
[04:27.74] we have seen him kill ...
[04:29.24] ANDRE/FIRMIN:
[04:29.43] We say he'll fall
[04:30.24] and fall he will!
[04:31.05] CARLOTTA:
[04:31.30] She's the one behind this!
[04:32.36] Christine!
[04:32.61] This is a ploy to help,
[04:33.85] Christine!
[04:34.04] PIANGI:
[04:34.35] This is the truth!
[04:35.17] Christine Daae!
[04:35.67] RAOUL:
[04:35.91] This is his undoing!
[04:36.79] ANDRE/FIRMIN:
[04:37.10] If you succeed
[04:37.91] you free us all -
[04:53.45] this so called "angel"
[04:54.56] has to fall!
[04:58.49] RAOUL:
[05:05.61] Angel of music,
[05:06.48] fear my fury -
[05:07.61] Here is where you fall!
[05:08.85] GIRY:
[05:09.10] Hear my warning!
[05:10.23] Fear his fury!
[05:11.04] CARLOTTA:
[05:11.35] What glory can
[05:12.85] she hope to gain?
[05:13.85] It's clear to all
[05:14.78] the girl's insane!
[05:19.84] ANDRE:
[05:20.65] Christine sings
[05:24.77] We'll get our man ...
[05:27.39] PIANGI:
[05:28.76] She is crazy!
[05:30.13] She is raving!
[05:31.01] FIRMIN:
[05:31.94] If Christine helps
[05:34.69] us in this plan ...
[05:36.31] RAOUL:
[05:41.49] Say your prayers,
[05:42.55] black angel of death!
[05:46.79] CHRISTINE:
[05:47.10] Please don't
[05:47.79] ANDRE:
[05:48.04] ...If Christine won't,
[05:48.79] then no-one can ...
[05:49.85] GIRY:
[05:50.10] Monsieur, I beg you,
[05:51.66] do not do this ...
[06:01.21] PIANGI/CARLOTTA:
[06:01.58] Gran Dio!
[06:02.27] Che imbroglio
[06:03.01] ANDRE/FIRMIN:
[06:03.83] This will seal his fate!
[06:14.56] CHRISTINE:
[06:14.81] If you don't stop,
[06:15.81] I'll go mad!
[06:16.37] Raoul, I'm frightened -
[06:16.74] don't make me do this ...
[06:18.31] Raoul, it scares me -
[06:19.87] don't put me through this
[06:21.67] ordeal by fire ...
[06:24.42] he'll take me, I know ...
[06:25.42] we'll be parted for ever ...
[06:26.48] he won't let me go ...
[06:27.35] What I once used to dream
[06:29.10] I now dread ...
[06:30.60] if he finds me, it won't
[06:31.78] ever end ...
[06:32.91] and he'll always be there,
[06:33.84] singing songs in my head ...
[06:34.84] he'll always be there,
[06:36.78] singing songs in my head ...
[06:39.71] CARLOTTA:
[06:45.08] She's mad ...
[07:12.43] RAOUL:
[07:12.67] You said yourself
[07:14.36] he was nothing
[07:15.29] but a man ...
[07:17.48] Yet while he lives,
[07:20.04] he will haunt us
[07:21.28] till we're dead ...
[07:22.78] CHRISTINE:
[07:23.16] Twisted every way,
[07:24.09] what answer can I give?
[07:25.46] Am I to risk my life,
[07:27.34] to win the chance to live?
[07:28.65] Can I betray the man
[07:30.20] who once inspired my voice?
[07:31.14] Do I become his prey?
[07:33.76] Do I have any choice?
[07:35.62] He kills without a thought,
[07:40.72] he murders all that's good . . .
[07:42.97] I know I can't refuse
[07:44.90] and yet, I wish I could . . .
[07:47.89] Oh God - if I agree,
[07:49.71] what horrors wait for me
[07:51.95] in this, the Phantom's opera . . .?
[07:55.32] RAOUL:
[07:55.94] Christine, Christine,
[08:02.18] don't think that I don't care -
[08:04.49] but every hope
[08:05.73] and every prayer
[08:06.67] rests on you now . . .
[08:10.60] RAOUL:
[08:11.16] So, it is to be war between us! But this time, clever
[08:14.91] friend, the disaster will be yours!
[08:16.90] CHORUS :
[08:17.65] Hide our sword now wounded knight!
[08:19.52] Your vainglorious gasconnade
[08:20.70] brought you to your final fight
[08:22.58] for your pride, high price you've paid!
[08:24.70] CHRISTINE:
[08:25.07] Silken couch and hay-filled barn
[08:26.64] both have been his battlefield.
[08:28.26] PIANGI:
[08:28.63] Those who tangle with Don Juan . . .
[08:32.07] REYER:
[08:32.88] No, no, no! Please.
[08:34.00] Don Juan, Signor Piangi - here is the phrase. "Those who tangle with Don Juan . . ."
[08:39.24] If you please?
[08:40.98] PIANGI:
[08:41.36] Those who tangle with Don Juan . . .
[08:44.86] REYER:
[08:45.61] No, no. Nearly - but no.
[08:47.85] "Those who tan, tan, tan . . ."
[08:50.72] PIANGI:
[08:50.97] Those who tangle with Don Juan . . .
[08:59.02] CARLOTTA:
[08:59.27] His way is better. At least he make it sound like
[09:01.08] music!
[09:01.52] GIRY:
[09:02.52] Signora - would you speak that way in the
[09:03.27] presence of the composer?
[09:04.20] CARLOTTA:
[09:04.20] The composer is not here. And if he were here, I
[09:06.26] would . . .
[09:07.07] GIRY:
[09:07.13] Are you certain of that, Signora . . .?
[09:08.63] REYER:
[09:09.00] So, once again - after seven.
[09:09.63] Five, six, seven . . .
[09:13.12] PIANGI:
[09:13.44] Those who tangle with Don Juan . . .
[09:19.12] CARLOTTA :
[09:19.93] Ah, piu non posso! What does it matter what notes
[09:20.99] we sing?
[09:21.05] GIRY:
[09:21.05] Have patience, Signora.
[09:21.92] CARLOTTA:
[09:21.98] No-one will know if it is right or if it is wrong.
[09:23.99] CARLOTTA:
[09:23.99] Those who tangle
[09:24.86] with Don Juan!
[09:25.29] PIANGI:
[09:25.79] Those who tan . . . tan . . .
[09:28.35] Is right?
[09:28.85] CHRISTINE:
[09:29.10] Not quite, Signor:
[09:29.91] Those who tan . . . tan . . .
[09:32.41] REYER:
[09:33.21] Ladies . . . Signor Piangi . . . if you please . . .
[09:36.83] ALL EXCEPT CHRISTINE:
[09:37.90] Poor young maiden! For the thrill
[09:38.08] on your tongue of stolen sweets
[09:39.96] you will have to pay the bill -
[09:41.95] tangled in the winding sheets!
[09:44.89] CHRISTINE:
[09:46.08] In sleep
[10:03.98] he sang to me,
[10:06.36] in dreams
[10:08.66] he came . . .
[10:11.16] that voice
[10:13.59] which calls to me
[10:16.03] and speaks
[10:18.65] my name . . .
[10:21.33] Little Lotte
[10:50.78] thought of everything and nothing . . .
[10:51.03] Her Father promised her
[10:51.22] that he would send her the Angel of Music . . .
[10:52.40] Her father promised her . . .
[10:52.59] Her father promised her
