[00:01.97] | CHAPTER 6 LA CARLOTTA SINGS MARGARITA |
[00:08.94] | On Friday morning La Carlotta had her breakfast in bed. |
[00:14.13] | She drank her coffee and opened her morning letters. |
[00:18.88] | One letter had no name on it. It was very short. |
[00:23.95] | You are ill. |
[00:26.18] | You cannot sing Margarita tonight. |
[00:29.24] | Stay at home and don't go to the Opera House. |
[00:33.32] | Accidents can happen. |
[00:36.28] | Do you want to lose your voice-forever? |
[00:41.82] | La Carlotta was very, very angry. |
[00:45.23] | She got out of bed at once and did not finish her breakfast. |
[00:49.65] | 'This is from Christine Daaé' s friends,' |
[00:52.70] | she thought.'They want her to sing again tonight. |
[00:57.13] | That Daaé girl is going to be sorry for this! |
[01:00.27] | I,La Carlotta, I am the best opera singer in Paris. |
[01:06.56] | And nothing is going to stop me singing Margarita tonight!' |
[01:13.35] | At six o'clock that evening the dancers were in their dressing-room. |
[01:18.48] | They talked and laughed |
[01:20.71] | and put on their red and black dresses for Faust. |
[01:24.48] | But Meg Giry was very quiet. |
[01:28.04] | 'What's the matter,Meg?'Annie Sorelli asked. |
[01:33.18] | 'It's the Opera ghost,Meg said. |
[01:37.19] | 'My mother says he's angry. |
[01:40.13] | She's afraid that something's going to happen tonight.' |
[01:43.89] | 'Oh,pooh!'the girl with black hair said. |
[01:48.20] | 'Who's afraid of an old ghost?' |
[01:53.08] | An hour later Monsieur Armand |
[01:57.51] | and Monsieur Firmin went into Box 5 and sat down. |
[02:01.42] | They were not afraid of ghosts.Of course not. |
[02:05.18] | There were no ghosts in the Opera House. |
[02:09.24] | Then Monsieur Armand saw some flowers |
[02:12.35] | on the floor by the door of the box. |
[02:15.79] | 'Firmin,'he whispered, |
[02:19.15] | 'did you put those flowers there?' |
[02:23.06] | Monsieur Firmin looked. |
[02:25.37] | 'No,I didn't,'he whispered back'Did you?' |
[02:32.12] | 'Of course not, you fool!Shh,the music's beginning.' |
[02:39.40] | La Carlotta did not sing for the first hour. |
[02:43.16] | There were no strange voices in Box 5, |
[02:46.30] | and the two directors began to feel happier. |
[02:49.92] | Then La Carlotta came out onto the stage, |
[02:53.81] | and Monsieur Firmin looked at Monsieur Armand. |
[02:57.77] | 'Did you hear a voice just then?' he asked quietly. |
[03:02.69] | 'No!'Monsieur Armand said, |
[03:06.85] | but he looked behind him twice, |
[03:09.60] | then three times, and suddenly felt cold. |
[03:16.02] | La Carlotta sang and sang, and nothing happened. |
[03:21.15] | Then she began a beautiful love song. |
[03:25.77] | 'My love begins to-Co-ack!' |
[03:32.02] | Everybody stared. |
[03:34.35] | What was the matter with Carlotta's voice |
[03:37.50] | What was that strange noise-Co-ack |
[03:42.48] | Carlotta stopped and began the song again. |
[03:47.10] | 'My love begins to-Co-ack! |
[03:53.53] | I cannot forget my-Co-ack!' |
[03:59.64] | It was the noise of a toad! |
[04:02.96] | People began to talk and laugh. |
[04:05.75] | Monsieur Firmin put his head in his bands. |
[04:09.42] | Then he felt Monsieur Armand's hand on his arm. |
[04:14.08] | There was a voice in the box with them! |
[04:17.20] | A man's voice, laughing |
[04:20.51] | Poor Carlotta tried again, and again. |
[04:25.49] | 'I cannot forget my-Co-ack!' |
[04:32.10] | Then the two directors heard the voice again, |
[04:36.05] | behind them,in front of them, everywhere. |
[04:41.80] | 'Her singing tonight is going to bring down the chandelier!' |
[04:50.42] | The two directors looked up at the top of the Opera House. |
[04:55.22] | Their faces were white. |
[04:57.78] | The famous chandelier, with its thousand lights, |
[05:02.71] | broke away from its ropes and crashed down on to the people below. |
[05:08.34] | That was a terrible night for the Paris Opera House. |
[05:12.60] | One woman was killed by the chandelier, |
[05:15.42] | and many people were hurt. |
[05:18.41] | The Opera House closed for two weeks. |
[05:21.72] | And La Carlotta never sang again. |
