SCENE 1

歌剧院的楼梯口

   (剧院舞厅聚集了一群化了装的宾客。他们装扮成孔雀，狮子，龙，魔鬼，强盗，小丑，骑士，女士，脍子手。装扮成骷髅人的M. ANDRE 和M. FIRMIN 也抵达了。两位看起来有点紧张)


ANDRE
M'sieur Firmin?

FIRMIN
M'sieur Andre? (拿起各自的面具确认对方.)

FIRMIN
亲爱的 Andre，好盛大的舞会!

ANDRE
新年的序曲!

FIRMIN
美好的晚上! 令人赞叹!

FIRMIN
只是尽力而为 ...

ANDRE/FIRMIN
(拿起酒杯) 为我们自己干杯!

FIRMIN
我必须再次申明, 那位“魅影”仁兄不在，是羞耻的!

(舞台显现，舞会开始. 宾客中，有四样怪乐器：一个拿着菝的猴子，一个拿着鼓的士兵，一个三角铁，一个铃铛。他们一同奏乐)

CHORUS

假面舞会! 绚丽的面具 ...
假面舞会! 把自己的脸藏起来, 让世界永远找不到你!
假面舞会!! 每张不一样的脸 ...
假面舞会!! 看看周围 - 还有另一张面具在你后面!

绚丽的淡紫色 ... 泼漆似的暗红色...
笨蛋与国王 ... 盗墓者和天鹅 ...
青色和黑色 ... 女皇和道士 ... 胭脂的痕迹 ... 禽兽的面孔 ...
脸啊 ... 轮到你的时候, 快乐的转个圈 ...
在这个非人竞赛 ... 黄金的眼睛 ... 蓝色的臀部 ...

是与非 ... 谁是谁 ...?
卷起的嘴唇 ... 旋转的长袍 ...
红心Ace ... 朝下的脸孔 ...

脸啊 ... 喝吧, 喝下去, 直到你在光芒中...   在声音中沉沦 ...

RAOUL/CHRISTINE

但是谁记得住那些脸 ...?



ALL
假面舞会! 微笑的黄色,旋转的红色...假面舞会! 穿上你的服装，戴上你的眼镜，震惊全场
假面舞会! 灼人的目光，摇摆的脑袋...
假面舞会! 停下来注视围绕着你的这个微笑海洋!
假面舞会! 看见影子们呼吸着谎言...假面舞会! 你可以欺骗任何认识你的朋友！
假面舞会! 斜视的眼神,正视的目光 ...假面舞会! 走动和躲藏 - 总是有张脸在追寻着你!

(舞会变成了背景, ANDRE, FIRMIN, MEG, GIRY, PIANGI 和 CARLOTTA 手持酒杯，来到前面）

GIRY
看看这夜晚

MEG
看看这人群!

ANDRE
让人开怀!

(他们碰杯后离开。RAOUL和CHRISTINE出现. 她颈项带着RAOUL送的黄金订婚戒指)

CHRISTINE
想想! 秘密订婚哦! 看看 - 你未来的新娘子! 想一想!

RAOUL
但是为何这是个秘密? 我们在隐藏什么?

CHRISTINE 亲爱的, 我们别争吵 ...

RAOUL
Christine, 你是自由的!

CHRISTINE
等到时机成熟吧 ...

RAOUL
什么时候? 这是订婚, 不是犯罪! Christine, 你在害怕什么？

CHRISTINE
我们别争了 ...

RAOUL
我们别争了 ...

CHRISTINE
请继续当作...

RAOUL
我只希望我将 ...

CHRISTINE
你将会 ...

BOTH ... 明白 ...

(来到舞池, CHRISTINE, 卖弄风情的在舞池交换男舞伴，但是发现舞池中许多都是歌剧幽灵的复制面孔，舞步越来越快，自己开始惶恐不安。。。  最后 RAOUL 前来解救她，用力抱紧她，引导她重回舞池。。。 舞会音乐在这个时候也达到最高潮.)

ALL （重复）
假面舞会! 微笑的黄色,旋转的红色...
假面舞会! 穿上你的服装，戴上你的眼镜，震惊全场假面舞会! 灼人的目光，摇摆的脑袋...
假面舞会! 停下来注视围绕着你的这个微笑海洋!假面舞会! 看见影子们呼吸着谎言...
假面舞会! 你可以欺骗任何认识你的朋友！
假面舞会! 斜视的眼神,正视的目光 ...假面舞会! 走动和躲藏 - 总是有张脸在追寻着你!

(节目的高潮一个怪诞的面孔出现在梯级的最上面。全身批着红色的长袍，只露一个死人的面具, 歌剧幽灵已经来到舞会！带着让人恐惧的脚步声，缓缓下楼，来到舞池的中心)

PHANTOM
为何这么安静, 各位尊贵的？你们以为我已经离开了吗？你们有没有惦记着我啊，各位尊贵的? 我为你们完成了一部歌剧!

(他从长袍底下拿出一本绑好的，厚厚的剧本)

这就是完成品 - "唐璜之凯旋" !

(他丢给 ANDRE)

我建议你最好跟从我的指示 -我的指示也相当清楚 - 谨记，还有比破碎的吊灯更可怕的后果 ...

(幽灵向CHRISTlNE示意, 她似乎被催了眠走向幽灵。他伸出手，从她的颈项抓下绑着订婚戒指的项链)

你的链属于我 - 你必须为我歌唱!

(音乐越来越大声，所有人哆嗦着畏缩着, 直到突然间, 他突然间消失掉)

BACKSTAGE

(GIRY 匆匆忙忙的经过. RAOUL 在后面追着呼唤她)

RAOUL
Giry女士，Giry 女士...

GIRY
尊贵的, 别问我 - 我什么都不知道.

(她想离开，又被拦着)

RAOUL
不对。你看到什么，对吧?

GIRY (艰难的)
我不知道我看到什么 ... 先生，请别再问我了 ...

RAOUL (迫切的)
女士, 为了我们的安危 ...

GIRY (紧张的向四周张望，最后决定吐露实情）
好吧. 这是好几年前的事了. 本镇来了个展览会。杂技演员, 魔术师, 稀奇古怪的人 ...

RAOUL
继续 ...

GIRY(出神的想起往事)
那里 ... 有个我永远忘不了的男子 ...  被锁在笼子里 ...

RAOUL
一个笼子里 ... ?

GIRY
是个奇才, 先生! 他是学者，是建筑师, 也是音乐家 ...

RAOUL

(piecing together the jigsaw)

A composer ...

GIRY

And an inventor too, monsieur. They boasted he had once built for the Shah of Persia, a maze of
mirrors ...

RAOUL
(mystified and impatient, cuts in)


Who was this man ...?

GIRY(with a shudder)


A freak of nature ...
more monster
than man ...

RAOUL(a murmur)


Deformed ...?

GIRY

From birth, it seemed ...

RAOUL

My God ...

GIRY

And then ... he went missing. He escaped.

RAOUL

Go on.

GIRY

They never found him
it was said he
had died ... RAOUL(darkly)
But he didn't die, did he?

GIRY

The world forgot him,
but I never can ...
For in this darkness
I have seen him again ...

RAOUL

And so our
Phantom's this man ...

GIRY(starts from her daze and turns to go)
I have said too much, monsieur.
(She moves off into the surrounding blackness)

And there have been too many accidents ...

RAOUL (ironical)
Accidents?!

GIRY

Too many ...

(And, before he can question her further, she has disappeared)

RAOUL (running after her)

Madame Giry ...!

SCENE 3

THE MANAGERS' OFFICE

   (The PHANTOM'S score lies open on the desk. ANDRE is impatiently flicking through it)

ANDRE

Ludicrous! Have you seen the score?

FIRMIN (entering)
Simply ludicrous!

ANDRE
It's the final straw!

FIRMIN
This is lunacy! Well, you know my views ...

ANDRE
Utter lunacy!

FIRMIN
But we daren't refuse ...

ANDRE (groans)
Not another chandelier ...

FIRMIN
Look, my friend, what we have here ...
(He has two notes from the PHANTOM, one of which he hands to ANDRE, who opens it and reads):

ANDRE
"Dear Andre, Re my orchestrations: We need another first bassoon. Get a player with tone - and that third trombone has to go! The man could not be deafer, so please preferably one who plays in tune!"

FIRMIN (reading his letter)
"Dear Firmin, vis a vis my opera: some chorus-members must be sacked. If you could, find out which has a sense of pitch - wisely, though, I've managed to assign a rather minor role to those who cannot act! "
(They are interrupted by the arrival of CARLOTTA and PIANGI both furiously brandishing similar notes)

CARLOTTA
Outrage!

FIRMIN
What is it now?

CARLOTTA
This whole affair is an outrage!

FIRMIN
Signora, please ...

ANDRE
Now what's the matter?

CARLOTTA
Have you seen the size of my part?

ANDRE
Signora, listen ...

PIANGI
It's an insult!

FIRMIN
Not you as well!

PIANGI
Just look at this - it's an insult!

FIRMIN
Please, understand ...

ANDRE
Signor! Signora!

CARLOTTA
The things I have to do for my art!

PIANGI (stabbing a finger at the open score) If you can call this gibberish "art" !

[ 本帖最后由 leevihua 于 14-3-2009 11:51 AM 编辑 ]

(RAOUL and CHRISTINE enter: CARLOTTA bristles)

CARLOTTA (dryly)
Ah! Here's our little flower!

FIRMIN
Ah Miss Daae quite the lady of the hour!

ANDRE (explaining) You have secured the largest role in this "Don Juan".

CARLOTTA (half to herself)
Christine Daae? She doesn't have the voice!

FIRMIN (hearing this, to CARLOTTA)
Signora, please!

RAOUL (to the MANAGERS)
Then I take it you're agreeing.

CARLOTTA (aside)
She's behind this ...

ANDRE
It appears we have no choice.

CARLOTTA (unable to contain herself any longer, points accusingly)
She's the one behind this! Christine Daae!

CHRISTINE (who has been silent till now, incensed at this)
How dare you!

CARLOTTA
I'm not a fool!

CHRISTINE
You evil woman! How dare you!

CARLOTTA
You think I'm blind?

CHRISTINE
This isn't my fault! I don't want any part in this plot!

[ 本帖最后由 leevihua 于 14-3-2009 11:12 AM 编辑 ]

leevihua

FIRMIN
Miss Daae, surely ...

ANDRE
But why not?
PIANGI (baffled, to CARLOTTA)
What does she say?
FIRMIN (reasonably)
It's your decision -
(Suddenly rounding on her) But why not?
CARLOTTA (to PIANGI)
She's backing out!
ANDRE
You have a duty!
CHRISTINE
I cannot sing it, duty or not!
RAOUL (comforting)
Christine ... Christine ... You don't have to ... they can't make you ...
(MEG and GlRY arrive, the latter bearing another note from the PHANTOM)
GIRY
Please, monsieur: another note.
(The MANAGERS gesture: "read it". As she reads, ALL react variously, as they are singled out)
GIRY
"Fondest greetings to you all ! A few instructions just before rehearsal starts: Carlotta must be taught to act ... ,"

(The PHANTOM'S voice gradually takes over from her)

PHANTOM'S VOICE
... not her normal trick of strutting round the stage. Our Don Juan must lose some weight - it's not healthy in a man of Piangi's age. And my managers must learn that their place is in an office, not the arts.
As for Miss Christine Daae ... No doubt she'll do her best - it's true her voice is good. She knows, though, should she wish to excel she has much still to learn, if pride will let her return to me, her teacher, her teacher ... Your obedient friend ...

(The PHANTOM'S voice fades out and GIRY takes over)

SCENE 3（2）

GIRY
"... and Angel ..."

(Attention now focuses on RAOUL whose eyes are suddenly bright with a new thought)

RAOUL
We have all been blind - and yet the answer is staring us in the face ... This could be the chance to ensnare our clever friend ...

ANDRE
We're listening ...

FIRMIN
Go on.

RAOUL
We shall play his game - perform his work - but remember we hold the ace ... For, if Miss Daae sings, he is certain to attend ...

ANDRE (carried along by the idea)
We make certain the doors are barred ...

FIRMIN (likewise)
We make certain our men are there ...

RAOUL
We make certain they're armed ...

RAOUL/ANDRE/FIRMIN (savouring their victory)
The curtain falls - his reign will end!

(ALL have been listening intently. GIRY is the first to express a reaction. CHRISTINE remains silent and withdrawn)

GIRY
Madness!

ANDRE
I'm not so sure ...

FIRMIN
Not if it works ...

GIRY
This is madness!

ANDRE
The tide will turn!

GIRY
Monsieur, believe me - there is no way of turning the tide!

FIRMIN (to GIRY)
You stick to ballet!

RAOUL (rounding on GIRY)
Then help us!

GIRY
Monsieur, I can't ...

RAOUL
Instead of warning us ...

] RAOUL/ANDRE/FIRMIN
Help us!

GIRY
I wish I could ...

RAOUL/ANDRE/FIRMIN
Don't make excuses!

RAOUL
Or could it be that you're on his side?

GIRY (to RAOUL)
Monsieur, believe me, I intend no ill ... (to ANDRE and FIRMIN) But messieurs, be careful - we have seen him kill ...

ANDRE/FIRMIN (to GIRY)
We say he'll fall and fall he will!

CARLOTTA
She's the one behind this! Christine! This is all her doing!

PIANGI
This is the truth! Christine Daae!

RAOUL This is his undoing!

ANDRE/FIRMIN (to RAOUL)
If you succeed you free us all - this so called "angel" has to fall!

RAOUL
Angel of music, fear my fury - Here is where you fall!

GIRY (to RAOUL)
Hear my warning! Fear his fury!

CARLOTTA
What glory can she hope to gain? It's clear to all the girl's insane!

ANDRE (to FIRMIN)
Christine sings We'll get our man ...

PIANGI S
he is crazy! She is raving!

FIRMIN (to ANDRE)
If Christine helps us in this plan ...

[ 本帖最后由 leevihua 于 14-3-2009 10:36 AM 编辑 ]

RAOUL
Say your prayers, black angel of death!

CHRISTINE (vainly pleading amidst the tumult)
Please don't ...

ANDRE (to FIRMIN)
If Christine won't, then no-one can ...

GIRY (to RAOUL)
Monsieur, I beg you, do not do this ...

PIANGI/CARLOTTA
Gran Dio! Che imbroglio!

ANDRE/FIRMIN
This will seal his fate!

CHRISTINE (bursting through the hubbub with a great cry)
If you don't stop, I'll go mad! ! !
(to RAOUL, pleading)
Raoul, I'm frightened - don't make me do this ... Raoul, it scares me - don't put me through this ordeal by fire ... he'll take me, I know ... we'll be parted for ever ... he won't let me go ... What I once used to dream I now dread ... if he finds me, it won't ever end ... and he'll always be there, singing songs in my head ... he'll always be there, singing songs in my head ... (ALL stare at her)

CARLOTTA
She's mad ...

RAOUL (to CHRISTINE)
You said yourself he was nothing but a man ... Yet while he lives, he will haunt us till we're dead ... (CHRISTINE turns away unhappily)

CHRISTINE
Twisted every way, what answer can I give? Am I to risk my life, to win the chance to live? Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice? Do I become his prey? Do I have any choice? He kills without a thought, he murders all that's good ... I know I can't refuse and yet, I wish I could ... Oh God - if I agree, what horrors wait for me in this, the Phantom's opera ...?

RAOUL (to CHRISTINE, very tenderly)
Christine, Christine, don't think that I don't care - but every hope and every prayer rests on you now ...
(CHRISTINE, overcome by her conflicting emotions turns away and hurries out. RAOUL strides forward and addresses an imaginary PHANTOM)

RAOUL
So, it is to be war between us!
But this time, clever friend, the disaster will be yours!
(As lights fade, ATTENDANTS stretch a red, velvet rope across the downstage area. OTHERS bring on gilt chairs.

CARLOTTA PIANGI and GIRY move downstage to take their places for the next scene)

SCENE 4

A REHEARSAL FOR 'DON JUAN TRIUMPHANT'

   (REYER supervises the learning of the new piece from the piano. Present are PIANGI, CHRISTINE, CARLOTTA, GlRY and CHORUS)
CHORUS
Hide our sword now wounded knight!
Your vainglorious gasconnade
brought you to your final fight
for your pride, high price you've paid!

CHRISTINE
Silken couch and hay-filled barnQ
both have been his battlefield.

PIANGI (wrong)
Those who tangle with Don Juan ...

REYER (stopping him)
No, no, no! ChorusQrest, please. Don Juan, Signor Piangi - here is the phrase. (He demonstrates it) "Those who tangle with Don Juan ..." If you please?

PIANGI (still wrong)
Those who tangle with Don Juan ...

REYER
No, no. Nearly - but no. "Those who tan, tan, tan ..."

PIANGI (still wrong)
Those who tangle with Don Juan ...

CARLOTTA (to the OTHERS)
His way is better. At least he make it sound like music!

GIRY (to CARLOTTA)
Signora - would you speak that way in the presence of the composer?

CARLOTTA (deaf to the implications of this remark)
The composer is not here. And if he were here, I would ...

GIRY (cutting in, ominous)
Are you certain of that, Signora ...?

REYER
So, once again - after seven.

(He gives the note and counts in) Five, six, seven ...

[ 本帖最后由 leevihua 于 1-3-2009 05:52 PM 编辑 ]

PIANGI (wrong again)
Those who tangle with Don Juan ...

(Gradually EVERYONE starts either to talk or to practice the phrase simultaneously)

CARLOTTA
Ah, piu non posso! What does it matter what notes we sing?

GIRY
Have patience, Signora.

CARLOTTA
No-one will know if it is right or if it is wrong. No-one will care if it is right, or if it is wrong.

CARLOTTA (mocking)
Those who tangle with Don Juan!

PIANGI (trying again)
Those who tan ... tan ...

(to CHRISTINE) Is right?

CHRISTINE (to PIANGI)
Not quite, Signor: Those who tan ... tan ...

REYER (attempting lo restore order)
Ladies ... Signor Piangi ... if you please ...

(REYER thumps the piano keys, then leaves the piano, and attempts to attract attention using signals.
At the height of the mayhem, the piano suddenly begins to demonstrate the music unaided. It plays with great force
and rhythm. ALL fall silent and freeze then suddenly start to sing the piece robotically and accurately. As they
continue to sing, CHRISTINE moves away from the group.)

ALL EXCEPT CHRISTINE
Poor young maiden! For the thrill on your tongue of stolen sweets you will have to pay the bill - tangled in the winding sheets!

(As the ENSEMBLE becomes background, CHRISTINE, transfixed, sings independently):

CHRISTINE
In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came ... that voice which calls to me and speaks my name ...

(The scene begins to change. Trance-like, CHRISTINE moves slowly upstage. We hear the distant sound of
bells)
Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing ... Her Father promised her that he would send her the Angel of Music ... Her father promised her ... Her father promised her ...

SCENE 5

A GRAVEYARD

   (A mausoleum with hanging moss. In the centre a pyramid of skulls in front of a cross.)

CHRISTINE
You were once my one companion ... you were all that mattered ...
You were once a friend and father - then my world was shattered ...

Wishing you were somehow here again ... wishing you were somehow near ...
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed, somehow you would be here ...

Wishing I could hear your voice again ... knowing that I never would ...
Dreaming of you won't help me to do all that you dreamed I could ...
Passing bells and sculpted angels, cold and monumental, seem, for you, the wrong companions - you were warm and gentle ...
Too many years fighting back tears ... Why can't the past just die ...?

Wishing you were somehow here again ... knowing we must say goodbye ...
Try to forgive ... teach me to live ... give me the strength to try ...
No more memories, no more silent tears ... No more gazing across the wasted years ... Help me say goodbye.

(The PHANTOM emerges from behind the cross)

PHANTOM (very soft and enticing)
Wandering child ... so lost ... so helpless ... yearning for my guidance ...

(Bewildered, CHRISTINE looks up, and murmurs breathlessly):

CHRISTINE
Angel ... or father ... friend ... or Phantom ... ? Who is it there, staring ... ?

PHANTOM (more and more hypnotic)
Have you forgotten your Angel ...?

CHRISTINE
Angel ... oh, speak ... What endless longings echo in this whisper ...!

(RAOUL appears in the shadows and watches for a moment transfixed)

PHANTOM (now drawing CHRISTINE towards him)
Too long you've wandered in winter ...

RAOUL (to himself a murmur)
Once again she is his ...

PHANTOM
Far from my far-reaching gaze ...

RAOUL
Once again she returns ...

CHRISTINE (increasingly mesmerized)
Wildly my mind beats against you ...

PHANTOM
You resist ...

PHANTOM/CHRISTINE
Yet your/the soul obeys ...

RAOUL
... to the arms of her angel ... angel or demon ... still he calls her ... luring her back, from the grave ... angel or dark seducer ...? Who are you, strange angel ...?

PHANTOM
Angel of Music! You denied me, turning from true beauty ... Angel of Music! Do not shun me ... Come to your strange Angel ...

CHRISTINE
Angel of Music! I denied you, turning from true beauty ... Angel of Music! My protector ... Come to me, strange Angel ...

(CHRISTINE moves towards the figure of the PHANTOM)

PHANTOM (beckoning her)
I am your Angel of Music ... Come to me: Angel of Music ...

RAOUL (suddenly calling out)
Angel of darkness! Cease this torment!

[ 本帖最后由 leevihua 于 1-3-2009 05:16 PM 编辑 ]

(Inexorably the PHANTOM continues to beckon CHRISTINE)

PHANTOM
I am your Angel of Music ... Come to me: Angel of Music ...

RAOUL (in desperation)
Christine! Christine listen to me! Whatever you may believe, this man ... this thing ... is not your father!

(to the PHANTOM) Let her go! For God's sake, let her go! Christine !

(Coming out of her trance CHRISTINE turns and mouths the words):

CHRISTINE
Raoul ... (She turns lo RAOUL who embraces her protectively. The PHANTOM freezes for a moment and then suddenly
seizes a pike upon which is impaled a skull. At a movement from him a flash of fire streaks from the
gaping mouth of the skull and lands at RAOUL's feet)

PHANTOM
Bravo, monsieur! Such spirited words! (Another fireball)

RAOUL
More tricks, monsieur?

PHANTOM
Let's see, monsieur how far you dare go! (Another fireball)

RAOUL More deception? More violence?

CHRISTINE (to RAOUL)
Raoul, no ...

(RAOUL has begun to walk slowly and resolutely towards the PHANTOM the fireballs always landing just ahead of him)

PHANTOM
That's right, that's right, monsieur - keep walking this way! (Two more fireballs)

RAOUL
You can't win her love by making her your prisoner.

CHRISTINE
Raoul, don't ...

RAOUL (to CHRISTINE)
Stay back!

PHANTOM
I'm here, I'm here, monsieur: the angel of death! Come on, come on, monsieur Don't stop, don't stop!
(Three more fireballs. RAOUL. is almost at the PHANTOM's feet. A confrontation is imminent when CHRISTINE suddenly rushes across to RAOUL)

CHRISTINE
Raoul! Come back ... (She pulls him away)

PHANTOM
Don't go! (As they are exiting, the PHANTOM declaims in fury):

So be it! Now let it be war upon you both! (At a gesture from the PHANTOM, there is a flash of lighting and the stage erupts into flame)

SCENE 6

BEFORE THE PREMIERE

THE OPERA HOUSE ON THE NIGHT OF THE PREMIERE OF "DON JUAN TRIUMPHANT"

(The orchestra is tuning. A whistle sounds the CHIEF FIRE OFFICER is reviewing two FIRE MARSHALLS in tin helmets. A worklight on a stand illuminates them. Also present are RAOUL, ANDRE and FIRMIN, supervising the proceedings, and a MARKSMAN, at present hidden in the pit)

CHIEF
You understand your instructions?

FIREMEN (severally)
Sir!

CHIEF
When you hear the whistle, take up your positions. I shall then instruct you to secure the doors. It is essential that all doors are properly secured.

FIRMIN
Are we doing the right thing, Andre?

ANDRE
Have you got a better idea?

CHIEF
Monsieur le Vicomte, am I to give the order?

RAOUL
Give the order.

(The CHIEF blows his whistle. The FIREMEN fan out, leaving RAOUL, the CHIEF and the MANAGERS on stage)

RAOUL (to the MARKSMAN)
You in the pit - do you have a clear view of this box?

MARKSMAN (appearing from the pit)
Yes, sir.

RAOUL
Remember, when the time comes, shoot. Only if you have to - but shoot. To kill.

MARKSMAN
How will I know, sir?

RAOUL
You"ll know.

FIRMIN
Monsieur le Vicomte, are you confident that this will work? Will Miss Daae sing?

RAOUL
Don"t worry, Firmin. Andre?

[ 本帖最后由 leevihua 于 17-3-2009 10:16 AM 编辑 ]

ANDRE
We"re in your hands, sir.

CHIEF
My men are now in position, sir.

RAOUL
Go ahead, then.

(Sounding his whistle again, the CHIEF shouts into the auditorium):

CHIEF
Are the doors secure?
(Exit doors are slammed all over the building, The FIREMEN answering one by one: "Secure."" The orchestra falls silent. Very quietly from nowhere, we hear the VOICE of the PHANTOM)

PHANTOM"S VOICE
I"m here: The Phantom of the Opera . . .

(ALL look around apprehensively. FIREMEN start to run in the direction of the VOICE)

PHANTOM"S VOICE (from somewhere else)
I"m here: The Phantom of the Opera . . .

(Again, they follow the VOICE. This happens several times, the PHANTOM"S VOICE darting more and more bewilderingly from place to place. Finally it is heard from Box Five, and in the confusion the MARKSMAN fires a shot. RAOUL rounds on the MARKSMAN furiously)

RAOUL
Idiot! You"ll kill someone. I said: only when the times comes!

MARKSMAN
But, Monsieur le Vicomte . . .

(The PHANTOM"S VOICE cuts in, filling the building. All look up)

PHANTOM"S VOICE
No "buts"! For once, Monsieur le Vicomte is right . . . Seal my fate tonight – I hate to have to cut the fun shortbut the joke"s wearing thin . . .Let the audience in . . .Let my opera begin!
