SCENE 9
A PERFORMANCE OF 'IL MUTO' BY ALBRIZZIO
(During the overture RAOUL, ANDRE and FIRMIN take their respective seats - RAOUL in Box Five, the
MANAGERS in a box opposite)
RAOUL
Gentlemen, if you would care to take your seats? I shall be sitting in Box Five.
ANDRE
Do you really think that's wise, monsieur?
RAOUL
My dear Andre, there would apeear to be no seats available, other than Box Five...
(The front cloth rises to reveal an 18th Century salon, a canopied bed centre-stage, The
COUNTESS is played by CARLOTTA, SERAFIMO, the page boy, is disguised as her maid and
is played by CHRISTINE. At this point they are hidden behind the drapes of the bed,
which are drawn.
In the room are TWO EPICENE MEN: one a HAIRDRESSER and one a JEWELLER. The JEWELLER is
attended by NEG. There is also an OLDER WOMAN, the COUNTESS' confidante. All apart
from MEG are gossiping with relish about the COUNTESS' current liaison with SERAFIMO)
CONFIDANTE
They say that this youth
has set my Lady's
heart aflame!
1ST FOP
His Lordship, sure,
would die of shock!
2ND FOP
His Lordship is
a laughing-stock!
CONFIDANTE
Should he suspect her,
God protect her!
ALL THERE
Shame! Shame! Shame!
This faithless lady's
bound for HADES!
Shame! Shame! Shame!
(The canopy drapes part and we see the COUNTESS kissing SERAFIMO passionately.
As the recitative attention turns to the MANAGERS in their box)
IN THE BOX
ANDRE
Nothing like the old operas!
FIRMIN
Or the old scenery...
ANDRE
The old singers...
FIRMIN
The old audience...
ANDRE
And every sear sold!
FIRMIN
Hardly a disaster beyond all imagination!
(They chickle, and nod to RAOUL in the opposite box. He acknowledges them)
ON STAGE
COUNTESS
Serafimo - your dishuise is perfect.
(A knock at the door)
Who can this be?
DON ATTILIO
Gentle wife, admit your loving
husband.
ATTENTION BACK TO STAGE
(The COUNTESS admits DON ATTILIO. He is an old fool)
DON ATTILIO
My love - I am called to England
on affairs of State, and must
leave you with your new maid.
(Aside) Though I'd happily take
the maid with me.
COUNTESS(Aside)
The old fool's leabing!
DON ATTILIO(to COUNTESS)
addio!
COUNTESS
addio!
BOTH(to each other)
Addio!
(He goes, pretending to leave, then hides and watches the action)
COUNTESS (CARLOTTA)
Serafimo - away with this pretence!
(She rips off SERAFIMO'S skirt to reveal his manly breeches)
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my
husband's absence!
Poor fool, he makes me laugh!
Haha,
Haha! etc.
Time I tried to get a better better half!
COUNTESS AND CHORUS
Poor fool, he doesn't know!
Hoho,
Hoho! etc.
If he knew the truth, he'd never, ever go!
(Suddenly from nowhere, we hear the voice of the PHANTOM)
PHANTOM'S VOICE
Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept empty?
MEG (terrified)
He's here: the Phantom of the Opera ...
(General reaction of bewilderment. CHRISTINE looks fearfully about her)
CHRISTINE
It's him ... I know it ... it's him ...
CARLOTTA (Finding a scapegoat in CHRISTINE, hisses at her)
Your part is silent, little toad!
(But the PHANTOM has heard her)
PHANTOM'S VOICE
A toad, madame? Perhaps it is you who are the toad ...
(Again general unease. CARLOTTA and the CONDUCTOR confer and pick up from the opening of the scene)
CARLOTTA (As the COUNTESS)
Serafimo, away with this pretence!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my croak!
(Instead of singing she emits a great croak like a toad. A stunned silence. CARLOTTA is as amazed as
anyone but regains herself and continues. More perturbing, however, is a new sound: the PHANTOM is laughing -
quietly at first, then more and more hysterically)
CARLOTTA (as the COUNTESS)
Poor fool, he makes me laugh -
Hahahahaha!
Croak, croak, croak,
croak, croak, croak, etc.
(As before. The PHANTOM'S laughter rises. The croaking continues as the chandelier's lights blink on
and off. The PHANTOM'S laughter, by this time overpowering, now crescendos into a great cry):
PHANTOM'S VOICE
Behold! She is singing to bring down the chandelier!
(CARLOTTA looks tearfully up at the MANAGERS' box and shakes her head)
CARLOTTA
Non posso piu ...
I cannot ... I cannot go on ...
PIANGI (rushing on)
Cara, cara ... I'm here ...
is all right ... Come ... I'm here ...
(ANDRE and FIRMIN hurry out of the box onto the stage. PIANGI ushers the now sobbing CARLOTTA
offstage, while the MANAGERS tackle the audience)
FIRMIN
Ladies and gentlemen, the performance will continue in ten minutes' time ...
(He addresses Box Five, keeping one eye on the chandelier as it returns to normal)
... when the role of the Countess will be sung by Miss Christine Daae.
ANDRE (improvising)
In the meantime, ladies and gentlemen, we shall be giving you the ballet from Act Three of tonight's opera.
(to the CONDUCTOR)
Maestro - the ballet - now!
(The MANAGERS leave, the stage is cleared and music starts again. The BALLET GlRLS enter as a sylvan glade
flies in. They begin the Dance of the Country Nymphs. Upstage, behind the drop, a series of threatening
shadows of the PHANTOM. MEG is aware of them and dances out of step. When this culminates in one
gigantic, oppressive, bat-like shadow, the garotted body of JOSEPH BUQUET falls onto the stage, causing the
sylvan glade to fly out. Pandemonium.)
CHRISTINE (calling for help)
Raoul! Raoul!
(RAOUL runs on stage and embraces her)
RAOUL (to CHRISTINE, leading her away)
Christine, come with me ...
CHRISTINE
No... to the roof. We'll be safe there.
(CHRISTINE and RAOUL hurry off)
FIRMIN (Attempting to placate the audience as STAGE-HANDS and POLICEMEN crowd onto the stage)
Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats. Do not panic. It was an accident ... simply an accident ...
(A statue of 'La Victoire Ailee' - the same as that which tops the proscenium. It is twilight.
CHRISTINE and RAOUL rush on)
RAOUL
Why have you brought us here?
CHRISTINE
Don't take me back there!
RAOUL
We must return!
CHRISTINE
He'll kill me!
RAOUL
Be still now ...
CHRISTINE
His eyes will find me there!
RAOUL
Christine, don't say that ...
CHRISTINE
Those eyes that burn!
RAOUL
Don't even think it ...
CHRlSTlNE
And if he has to kill
a thousand men -
RAOUL
Forget this waking nightmare ...
CHRISTINE
The Phantom of the Opera will kill ...
RAOUL
This phantom is a fable ...
Believe me ...
CHRISTINE
... and kill again!
RAOUL
There is no Phantom of the Opera ...
CHRISTINE
My God, who is this man ...
RAOUL
My God, who is this man ...
CHRISTINE
... who hunts to kill ...?
RAOUL
... this mask of death ...?
CHRISTINE
I can't escape from him ...
RAOUL
Whose is this voice you hear ...
CHRISTINE
... I never will!
RAOUL
... with every breath ...?
BOTH
And in this
labyrinth,
where night is blind
the Phantom of the Opera
is here:
inside your/my mind ...
RAOUL
There is no Phantom of the Opera ...
CHRISTINE
Raoul, I've been there -
to his world of
unending night ...
To a world where
the daylight dissolves
into darkness ...
darkness ...
Raoul, I've seen him!
Can I ever
forget that sight?
Can I ever
escape from that face?
So distorted,
deformed, it
was hardly a face,
in that darkness ...
darkness ...
(trancelike, then becoming more and more ecstatic)
But his voice
filled my spirit
with a strange, sweet sound ...
In that night
there was music
in my mind ...
And through music
my soul began
to soar!
And I heard
as I'd never
heard before ...
RAOUL
What you heard
was a dream
and nothing more ...
CHRISTINE
Yet in his eyes
all the sadness
of the world ...
Those pleading eyes,
that both threaten
and adore ...
RAOUL (comforting)
Christine ...
Christine ...
PHANTOM (unseen, a ghostly echo of RAOUL's words)
Christine ...
CHRISTINE
What was that?
(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 youQ
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 ...
Iet 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)
这是很经典的一部分是克里斯丁与拉乌尔在搂互诉衷情的一幕然后魅影来到并听到然后唱出令人心碎的心声!“You will curse the day
you did not do
all that the Phantom asked
of you ...! ”
真的令人心碎阿 歌词和剧本如上
