[00:01.78] | CHAPTER 2 THE DIRECTORS OF THE OPERA HOUSE |
[00:08.35] | The Opera House was famous, |
[00:11.04] | and the directors of the Opera House were very important men. |
[00:16.17] | It was the first week of work for the two new directors, |
[00:20.40] | Monsieur Ar mand Moncharmin and Monsieur Firmin Richard. |
[00:25.65] | In the directors' office the next day, |
[00:28.70] | the two men talked about Joseph Buquet. |
[00:32.58] | 'It was an accident,' Monsieur Armand said angrily. |
[00:37.39] | 'Or Buquet killed himself.' |
[00:40.34] | 'An accident?…Killed himself?' |
[00:44.20] | Monsieur Firmin said. |
[00:46.34] | 'Which story do you want,my friend? |
[00:49.37] | Or do you want the story of the ghost?' |
[00:53.34] | 'Don't talk to me about ghosts!' |
[00:56.19] | Monsieur Armand said. |
[00:58.07] | 'We have 1,500 people |
[01:00.61] | working for us in this Opera House, |
[01:03.43] | and everybody is talking about the ghost. |
[01:06.77] | They're all mad! I don't want to hear about the ghost, OK?' |
[01:13.71] | Monsieur Firmin looked at a letter on the table next to him. |
[01:18.03] | And what are we going to do about this letter,Armand?' |
[01:22.42] | 'Do?' cried Monsieur Armand. |
[01:25.19] | 'Why, do nothing, of course! |
[01:27.63] | What can we do?' |
[01:30.31] | The two men read the letter again. |
[01:32.95] | It wasn't very long. |
[01:36.02] | To the new directors |
[01:38.84] | Because you are new in the Opera House, |
[01:41.66] | I am writing to tell you some important things. |
[01:45.61] | Never sell tickets for Box 5; |
[01:48.88] | that is my box for every opera night. |
[01:53.30] | Madame Giry, the door keeper, |
[01:56.16] | knows all about it. |
[01:58.51] | Also,I need money for my work in the Opera House. |
[02:03.42] | I am not expensive,and I am happy to |
[02:06.12] | take only 20,000 francs a month. |
[02:09.44] | That is all. |
[02:11.06] | But please remember, |
[02:13.45] | I can be a good friend, |
[02:15.94] | but a bad enemy. |
[02:18.79] | O.G. |
[02:21.99] | 'Don't sell tickets for Box 5! |
[02:24.99] | 20,000 francs a month!'Monsieur Armand was very angry again.' |
[02:31.08] | That's the best box in the Opera House, |
[02:33.53] | and we need the money, Firmin! |
[02:35.65] | And who is this O.G,eh?Tell me that!' |
[02:40.27] | 'Opera Ghost,of course,'Monsieur tirmin said.' |
[02:45.46] | But you're right, Armand. |
[02:47.99] | We can do nothing about this letter. |
[02:50.93] | It's a joke, a bad joke. Somebody thinks we are fools, |
[02:56.98] | because we are new here. |
[02:59.53] | There are no ghosts in the Opera House!' |
[03:04.62] | The two men then talked about the opera for that night. |
[03:08.52] | It was Faust,and usually La Carlotta sang Margarita. |
[03:14.61] | La Carlotta was Spanish,and the best singer in Paris. |
[03:18.36] | But today,La Carlot ta was ill. |
[03:22.97] | 'Everybody in Paris is going to be at the opera tonight,' |
[03:26.57] | said Monsieur Armand,'and cur best singer is ill. |
[03:30.48] | Suddenly! She writes a letter to us just this morning-she is ill, |
[03:35.61] | she cannot sing tonight!' |
[03:38.02] | 'Don't get angry again, Armand,' |
[03:41.27] | Monsieur Firmin said quickly.'We have Christine Daaé, |
[03:46.52] | that young singer from Norway. |
[03:49.26] | She can sing Margarita tonight. |
[03:51.49] | She has a good voice.' |
[03:53.92] | 'But she's so young, and nobody knows her! |
[03:57.74] | Nobody wants to listen to a new singer.' |
[04:01.49] | 'Wait and see. |
[04:03.82] | Perhaps Daaé can sing better than La Carlot ta. |
[04:07.99] | Who knows?' |
