Your public needs you!
FIRMIN
We need you, too!
CARLOTTA
Would you not
rather have your
precious little
ingenue?
ANDR?/FIRMIN
Signora, no!
The world wants you!
ANDR?/FIRMIN
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!
BOTH
Prima donna,
enchant us once again!
ANDR?
Think of your muse...
FIRMIN
And of the queues
round the theatre!
BOTH
Can you deny us the triumph
in store?
Sing, prima donna,

*RAOUL
*Christine spoke of an angel...

Para realizar, mi sue~o que hare, por donde empezar, como realizare? tu tan lejano amor, lo unico que se, es q ya no se quien soy, de donde vengo y voy. Desde que te vi, mi identidad perdi, en mi cabeza estas, solo tu y nadie mas, y me duele al pensar, q nunca mio seras, de mi enamorate. Coro Mira que e...l dia q de mi, te enamores, yo voy a ser feliz y con puro amor, te protegere, y sera un honor, dedicarme a ti, eso quiera Dios. El dia q de mi te enamores tu, voy a ver por fin de una vez la luz, y me de

*ANDR?/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

*
*MEG
*Is this ghost

*RAOUL
*Angel or madman...?

*ANDR?/FIRMIN
*Leading ladies are a trial!

*CARLOTTA
*Prima donna,
*your song shall never die!

*GIRY
*Heaven help you,
*those who doubt...
*
*CARLOTTA
*You'll sing again,

*
*RAOUL
*Orders! Warnings!
*Lunatic demands!

Song of the Stars Lyrics
we are the stars which sing we sing with our light; we are the birds of fire, we fly over the sky. our light is a voice; we make a road for the spirit to pass over {algonquian indian} outò, ba mwen son ou,e, outò, ba mwen son ou,e, tanbouyè, o ba mwen son ou, solèy lève. outò, give me your sound, outò, give me your sound, drummer, give me your sound, the sun rises. {vodun invocation-haiti}
*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?/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?/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/RAOUL
*Christine must be protected!
*
*CARLOTTA
*O, fortunata!
*Non ancor
*abbandonata!
*
*ANDR?/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
Pinch And Roll Lyrics
Everyday when i get in my car It's a honda, you know I sit on down but i don't get too far You wanna know why? 'cuz i've gotta reach down And scratch an itch In an area, an area That's so sensitive So i do a (chorus) Pinch and roll (x2) (everybody do a) pinch and roll (x2) (if you're itchy do a) pinch and roll (x2) (we don't scratch, we do a) pinch and roll (x2) So if you've got a problem You know what to do Whether you're watching tv Or sniffing airplane glue Which we don't do Now the girls don't know Bu

*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?/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 diseases,
*coughs and colds and sneezes!
*
*Still, the driest throat
*will reach the highest note,
*in search of perfect
*opera!
*
*MEG/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...

Light up the stage
with that age-old
rapport!
Sing, prima donna,
once more!

(spoken)
So, it is to be war between us! If these
demands are not met, a disaster beyond
your imagination will occur!
ALL
Once more
