The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack lyrics Prologue lyrics THE STAGE OF PARIS OPERA, 1905 (The contents of the opera house is being auctioned off. An AUCTIONEER, PORTERS, BIDDERS and RAOUL, seventy now, but still bright of eye. the action commences with a blow from the AUCTIONEER's gavel) Sold. Your number sir? Thank you. Lot 663, then, ladies and gentlemen: a poster for this house's production of 'Hannibal' by Chalumeau. Showing here. Do I have ten francs? Five then, Five I am bid. Six, seven. Against you, sir, seven. Eight. Eight once. Selling twice. Sold, to Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny. Lot 664: a wooden pistol and three human skulls, from the 1831 production of 'Robert le Diable' by Meyerbeer. Ten francs for this. Ten, thank you. Ten francs still. Fifteen, thank you, sir. Fifteen I am bid. Going at fifteen. Your number, Sir? Lot 665, ladies and gentelmen: a papier-mache musical box, in the shape of a barrel organ. Attached, the figure of a monkey in Persian robes, playing the cymbals. This item, discovered in the vaults of the theatre, still in working order. Showing here. (He sets it in motion) May I start at twenty francs? Fifteen, then? Fifteen I am bid. (The bidding continues. RAOUL eventually buys the box for thirty francs) Sold, for thirty francs to the Vicomte de Chagny. Thank you sir. (The box is handed across to RAOUL. He studies it, as attention focuses on him for a moment) A collector's piece indeed ... every detail exactly as she said ... She often spoke of you, my friend ... your velvet lining and your figurine of lead ... Will you still play, when all the rest of us are dead ...? Lot 666, then: a chandelier in pieces. Some of you may recall the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera: a mystery never fully explained. We are told, ladies and gentlemen, that this is the very chandelier which figures in the famous disaster. Our workshops have restored it and fitted up parts of it with wiring for the new electric light, so that we may get a hint of what it may look like when reassembled. Perhaps we may frighten away the ghost of so many years ago with a little illumination, gentlemen? (The AUCTIONEER switches on the chandelier. There is an enormous flash, and the OVERTURE begins. During the overture the opera house is restored to its earlier grandeur. The chandelier, immense and glittering, rises magically from the stafe, finally hovering high above the stalls) Other The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack lyrics: Down Once More Track Down This Murderer lyrics The Point Of No Return lyrics Wandering Child Bravo, Monsieur lyrics Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again lyrics Notes Twisted Every Way lyrics Masquerade So Silent lyrics Why Have You Brought Me Here Raoul, I've Been There lyrics Poor Fool, He Makes Me Laugh lyrics Notes Prima Donna lyrics Magical Lasso lyrics I Remember Than You Dreamt It lyrics The Music Of The Night lyrics Phantom Of The Opera lyrics Little Lotte The Miror Angels Of Music lyrics Angel Of Music lyrics Think Of Me lyrics |
