Prima Donna - Phantom Of The Opera Original London Cast

Andr-

Your public needs you!

Firmin-

We need you too!

Carlotta-

Would you not rather have your

precious little ingnue?

Andr and Firmin-

Signora, no.

The world wants you.

Prima donna,

first lady of the stage!

Your devotees

are on their knees

to implore you!

Andr-

Can you bow out

when they're shouting

your name?

Firmin-

Think of how they all adore you.

Andr and Firmin-

Prima donna,

enchant us once again

Andr-

Think of your muse...

Firmin-

And of the queues

round the theatre!

Andr and Firmin-

Can you deny us the triumph in store?

Andre and Firmin-

Sing, prima donna,

once more!

Raoul-

Christine spoke of an angel...

Carlotta-

Prima donna,

your song shall live again!

Andr and Firmin-

Think of your public!

Carlotta-

You took a snub,

but there's a public

who needs you!

Giry-

She has heard the voice

of the angel of music...

Andr and Firmin-

Those who hear your voice

liken you to an angel!

Carlotta-

Think of their cry

of undying

support!

Raoul-

Is this her angel of music...?

Andr-

We get our opera...

Firmin-

She gets her limelight!

Carlotta-

Follow where the limelight

leads you!

Meg-

Is this ghost

an angel or a madman...?

Raoul-

Angel or madmadman...?

Andr and Firmin-

Leading ladies are a trial!

Carlotta-

Prima donna,

your song shall never die!

Meg-

Voice of hell, or of heaven...?

Giry

Heaven help you,those who doubt...

Carlotta

You'll sing again,

and to unending

ovation!

Raoul

Orders! Warnings!

Lunatic demands!

Giry

This miscasting

Will invite damnation...

Andr and Firmin

Tears... oaths...

lunatic demands

are regular occurences!

Meg

Bliss or damnation?

Which has claimed her...?

Carlotta-

Think how you'll shine

in that final

encore!

Sing, prima donna,

once more!

Giry-

Oh fools,

to have flouted his warnings!

Raoul-

Surely, for her sake...

Meg-

Surely he'll strike back...

Andr and Firmin-

Surely there'll be further scenes -

worse than this!

Giry-

Think, before

these demands are rejected!

Raoul-

...I must see these demands are rejected!

Meg-

...if his threats

and demands are rejected!

Andr and Firmin-

Who'd believe a diva

happy to relieve a

chorus girl, who's 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!

Meg and Raoul

Christine must be protected!

Carlotta-

O, fortunata!

Non ancor

abbandonata!

Andr and Firmin-

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!

Raoul-

His game is over!

Giry-

This is a game

you cannot hope to win!

Raoul-

And in Box Five

a new game will begin...

Giry-

For, if his curse

is on this opera...

Meg-

But if his curse

is on this opera...

Andr and Firmin-

Prima donna,

the world is at your feet!

A nation waits,

and how it hates,

to be cheated!

Carlotta-

The stress that falls upon a

famous prima donna!

Terrible deseases,

coughs and colds and sneezes!

Still, the dryest throat

will reach the highest note,

in search of perfect

opera!

Meg and Giry-

...then I fear the outcome...

Raoul-

Christine plays the Pageboy,

Carlotta plays the Countess...

Giry-

...should you dare to...

Meg-

...when you once again...

All-

Light up the stage

with that age-old rapport!

Sing, prima donna,

once more!

Phantom(spoken)-

So, it is war between us!

If these demands are not met, a disaster

beyond your imagination....will occur!

All-

Once more!
