Notes? / Prima Donna
Firmin 'Mystery after gala night,' it says, 'mystery of sopranos flight'. 'Mystified,' all the papers say, 'We are mystified. We suspect foul play!' Bad news on soprano scene First Carlotta, now Christine. Still at least the seats get sold, Gossip's worth its weight in gold. What a way to run a business Spare me these unending trials Half your cast disappears But the crowd still cheers Opera! To hell with Gluck and Handel Have a scandal and you're sure to have a hit!
Andre Damnable! Will they all walk out? This is damnable!
Firmin Andre please don't shout It's publicity and the take is vast Free publicity
Andre But we have no cast!
Firmin Andre have you seen the queue Ah, it seems you've got one too
Andre 'Dear Andre what a charming gala, Christine was in a word sublime We were hardly bereft when Carlotta left On that note: The diva's a disaster, Must you cast her when she's seasons past her prime?'
Firmin 'Dear Firmin just a brief reminder; My salary has not been paid Send it care of the ghost By return of post P.T.O No one likes a debter so it's better if my orders are obeyed!'
Andre & Firmin Who would have the gall to send this? Someone with a puerile brain These are both signed O.G Who the hell is he? Opera Ghost!
Firmin It is nothing short of shocking
Andre He is mocking our position
Firmin In addition he wants money
Andre What a funny apparition
Andre & Firmin To expect a large retainer Nothing plainer He is clearly quite insane
Raoul Where is she?
Andre You mean Carlotta?
Raoul I mean Miss Daae. Where is she?
Firmin Well how should we know?
Raoul I want an answer I take it that you sent me this note
Andre What all this nonsense? Of course not
Firmin Don't look at us
Raoul She's not with you then?
Firmin Of course not
Andre We're in the dark
Raoul Monsieur don't argue Isn't this the letter you wrote
Firmin And what is is that we're meant to have wrote? ...Written!
Andre D'o not fear for Miss Daae The Angel of Music has her under his wing Make no attempt to see her again.'
Raoul If you didn't write it then who did?
Carlotta Where is he?
Andre Ah, welcome back!
Carlotta & Piangi Where is he? Your precious patron Where is he?
Raoul What is it now?
Carlotta I have your letter A letter that which I rather resent
Firmin And did you send it?
Raoul Of course not!
Andre As if he would
Carlotta & Piangi You didn't send it?
Raoul Of course not!
Firmin What going on?
Carlotta You dare to tell me That this is not the letter you sent
Raoul And what is it that I'm meant to have sent? 'Your days at the Opera Populaire are numbered. Christine Daae will be singing on your behalf tonight. Be prepared for a great misfortune should you attempt to take her place.'
Andre & Firmin Far too many notes for my taste And most of them about Christine All we've heard since we came Is Miss Daae's name
Madame Giry Miss Daae has returned
Firmin No worse for wear as far as we're concerned
Andre Where precisely is she now?
Madame Giry I thought it best she was alone
Meg She needed rest
Raoul May I see her?
Madame Giry No monsieur she will see no one
Carlotta & Piangi Will she sing? Will she sing?
Madame Giry Here I have a note
All (except Madame Giry and Meg) Let me see it
Firmin Please 'Gentlemen, I have now sent you several notes of the most aimnable nature detailing how my Opera House is to be run You have ignored my orders...
Phantom ...I shall give you one last chance Christine Daae has returned to you And I am anxious her career should progress In the new production of Il Muto You will therefore cast Carlotta as the page boy And put Miss Daae in the role of Countess The role which Miss Daae plays calls for charm and appeal The role of the page boy is silent which makes my casting in a word, ideal I shall watch the performance from my normal seat in box 5 which will be kept empty for me Should these commands be ignored a disaster beyond your imagination will occur I remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant O.G
Carlotta & Piangi Christine!
Andre What ever next?
Carlotta & Piangi It's all a ploy to help Christine
Firmin This is insane
Carlotta 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 I know who sent this The Viscount, her lover
Raoul Indeed, can you belive this?
Firmin Signora
Carlotta O tradori!
Andre This is a joke
Firmin This changes nothing
Carlotta O mentitori
Firmin Signora!
Andre You are our star
Firmin And always will be
Andre Signora
Firmin The man is made
Andre We don't take orders
Firmin Miss Daae will be playing the page boy The silent role
Andre & Firmin Carlotta will be playing the lead
Charlotta It's useless trying to appease me
Piangi Appease her!
Carlotta You're only saying this to please me
Piangi Please her!
Carlotta & Piangi Lasciatemi morire! O padre mio! Dio!
Madame Giry Who scorn his word beware to those
Carlotta You have reviled me!
Madame Giry The angel sees, the angel knows
Raoul Why did Christine fly from my arms?
Carlotta You have rebuked me!
Andre & Firmin Sinora, pardon us
Carlotta You have replaced me
Aandre & Firmin Please Signora we beseech you
Madame Giry This hour shall see your darkest fears
Raoul I must see her
Carlotta & Piangi Abbandonata! Deseredata! O, sventurata!
Madame Giry The angel sees, the angel hears
Raoul Where did she go?
Carlotta & Piangi Abbandonata!
Andre & Firmin Senora sing for us
Carlotta & Piangi Disgraziata!
Andre & Firmin Don't be a matyr
All What new suprises lie in store
Andre Your public needs you
Firmin We need you too
Carlotta Wouldn't you rather have your precious little ingenue?
Andre & Firmin Signora no! The World wants you Prima Donna first lady of the stage Your devotees are on their knees to implore you
Andre Can you bow out when they're shouting your name?
Firmin Think of how they all adore you
Andre & Firmin Prima donna enchant us once again
Andre Think of your muse
Firmin And all your queues 'round the theatre!
Andre & Firmin Can you deny us the triumph in store?
Andre, Firmin & Piangi Sing Prima Donna once more
Raoul Christine spoke of an angel
Charlotta Prima Donna your song shall live again
Andre & Firmin Think of your public
Carlotta You took a snub but there's a public who needs you
Madame Giry She has heard the voice of the Angel of Music
Andre & Firmin Those who hear you liken you to an angel
Carlotta Think of the cry of undying support
Andre We get her Opera
Firmin She gets her limelight
Carlotta Follow where the lime light leads you
Andre & Firmin Leading ladies are a trial
Carlotta Prima Donna your song shall never die You'll sing again and to unending ovation
Raoul Order, warnings lunatic!
Andre & Firmin This misacating will invite damnation Lunatic demands are regular occurences
Carlotta Think how you'll shine in that final encore
Andre & Firmin Sing Prima Donna once more
Raoul I must see these demands are rejected
Andre & Firmin Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve A girl whose 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!
Carlotta Fortunata! Non ancor abbandonata!
Andre & 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!
Meg & Christine For if his curse is on this Opera
All Prima Donna the world is at your feet A nation waits, and how it hates to be cheated! Light Up the stage with that age-old rapport, Sing Prima Donna Once more!
