  • "Mystery after gala night,"
    it says, "mystery of sopranos flight".
    "Mystified," all the papers say,
    "We are mystified. We suspect foul play!"
    Bad news on soprano scene
    First Carlotta, now Christine.
    Still at least the seats get sold,
    Gossip's worth its weight in gold.
    Diva tenders resignation!
    Cover does a moonlight flit!
    Half your cast disappears
    But the crowd still cheers
    Opera!
    To hell with Gluck and Handel
    Have a scandal and you're sure to have a hit!
    Damnable!
    Will they all walk out?
    This is damnable!
    Andre please don't shout
    It's publicity and the take is vast
    Free publicity
    But we have no cast!
    Andre have you seen the queue
    Ah, it seems you've got one too

    "Dear Andre what a charming gala,
    Christine enjoyed a great success!
    We were hardly bereft when Carlotta left
    otherwise, the chorus was entrancing,
    but the dancing was a lamentable mess!"
    "Dear Firmin just a brief reminder;
    My salary has not been paid
    Send it care of the ghost
    By return of post
    P.T.O No one likes a debter
    so it's better if my orders are obeyed!"
    Who would have the gall to send this?
    Someone with a puerile brain
    These are both signed O.G
    Who the hell is he?
    Opera Ghost!
    It's really not amusing!
    He's abusing our position!
    In addition he wants money
    He's a funny sort of spectre ...
    To expect a large retainer
    Nothing plainer
    He is clearly quite insane
    Where is she?
    You mean Carlotta?
    I mean Miss Daae.
    Where is she?
    Well how should we know?
    I want an answer
    I take it that you sent me this note
    What all this nonsense?
    Of course not
    Don't look at us
    She's not with you then?
    Of course not
    We're in the dark
    Monsieur don't argue
    Isn't this the letter you wrote
    And what is is that we're meant to have wrote?
    ...Written!

    Do not fear for Miss Daae
    The Angel of Music has her under his wing
    Make no attempt to see her again."
    If you didn't write it then who did?
    Where is he?
    Ah, welcome back!
    Your precious patron
    Where is he?
    What is it now?
    I have your letter
    A letter that which I rather resent
    And did you send it?
    Of course not!
    As if he would
    You didn't send it?
    Of course not!
    What going on?
    You dare to tell me
    That this is not the letter you sent
    And what is it that I'm meant to have sent?
    "Your days at the Opera Populaire are numbered.
    Christine Daae will be singing on your behalf tonight.
    Be prepared for a great misfortune
    should you attempt to take her place."
    Far too many notes for my taste
    And most of them about Christine
    All we've heard since we came
    Is Miss Daae's name
    Miss Daae has returned
    In which case, I think our meeting is adjourned.
    Where precisely is she now?
    I thought it best that she went home ...
    She needed rest
    May I see her?
    No monsieur she will see no one
    Will she sing?
    Will she sing?
    Here I have a note
    Let me see it
    Please
    "Gentlemen, I have now sent you
    several notes of the most aimnable nature
    detailing how my theatre is to be run
    You have not followed my instructions.
    ...I shall give you one last chance
    Christine Daae has returned to you
    And I am anxious her career should progress
    In the new production of Il Muto
    You will therefore cast Carlotta as the page boy
    And put Miss Daae in the role of Countess
    The role which Miss Daae plays calls for charm and appeal
    The role of the page boy is silent
    which makes my casting in a word, ideal
    I shall watch the performance
    from my normal seat in box 5 which will be kept empty for me
    Should these commands be ignored a disaster
    beyond your imagination will occur
    I remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant
    O.G
    Christine ... Christine.

    Christine!
    What ever next?
    It's all a ploy to help Christine
    This is insane
    I know who sent this
    The Viscount, her lover
    Indeed, can you believe this?
    Signora
    How can you do this?
    I am unwanted!
    This is a joke
    This changes nothing
    O mentitori
    Signora!

    You are our star
    And always will be
    Signora
    The man is mad
    We don't take orders
    Miss Daae will be playing the page boy
    The silent role
    Carlotta will be playing the lead
    You don't deserve her!
    It's useless trying to appease me
    Appease her!
    You're only saying this to please me
    Please her!
    Lasciatemi morire!

    O padre mio!

    Dio!
    Who scorn his word beware to those
    You have reviled me!
    The angel sees, the angel knows
    Why did Christine fly from my arms?
    You have rebuked me!
    Sinora, pardon us
    You have replaced me
    Please Signora we beseech you
    This hour shall see your darkest fears
    I must see her
    Abbandonata!
    Deseredata!
    O, sventurata!
    The angel sees, the angel hears
    Where did she go?
    Abbandonata!

    Senora sing for us
    Disgraziata!
    Don't be a matyr
    What new suprises lie in store


    Your public needs you
    We need you too
    Would you not rather have your precious little ingenue?

    Signora no! The World wants you
    Prima Donna first lady of the stage
    Your devotees are on their knees to implore you
    Can you bow out when they're shouting your name?
    Think of how they all adore you
    Prima donna enchant us once again
    Think of your muse
    And all your queues 'round the theatre!
    Can you deny us the triumph in store?
    Sing Prima Donna once more
    Christine spoke of an angel
    Prima Donna your song shall live again
    Think of your public
    You took a snub but there's a public who needs you
    She has heard the voice of the Angel of Music
    Those who hear you liken you to an angel
    Think of the cry of undying support

    We get her Opera
    She gets her limelight
    Follow where the lime light leads you
    Leading ladies are a trial
    Prima Donna your song shall never die
    You'll sing again and to unending ovation
    Order, warnings lunatic!

    This misacating will invite damnation
    Lunatic demands are regular occurences
    Think how you'll sing in that final encore
    Sing Prima Donna once more
    I must see these demands are rejected
    Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve
    A chorus girl whose 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!
    Fortunata!
    Non ancor abbandonata!
    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!
    For if his curse is on this Opera
    Prima Donna the world is at your feet
    A nation waits, and how it hates to be cheated!

    Light Up the stage with that age-old rapport,
    Sing Prima Donna
    Once more!

    Once more!
