Bravi, bravi, bravissimi...        Where in the world have you been hiding?   Really you were perfect.   I only wish I knew your secret!   Who is this new tutor?  Father once spoke of an angel. I used to dream he'd appear.   Now as I sing I can sense him. And I know he's here. . .   Angel of Music!   Guide and Guadian!   Grant to me your glory!     Meg Giry. Are you a dancer? Then come and practice.

Christine's dressing room

 

Raoul, Andre Firmin are seen making their way towards the dressing room, the MANAGERS in high spirits.             They bow and move off.     Raoul knocks at the door and enters.                              He hurries out   Calling after him.         Tremulous music   Christine hears the Phantom's voice, seemingly form behind the dressing room mirror                     The figure of the Phantom becomes discernible behind the mirror)      Christine walks to the glowing shimmering glass. Raoul has returned   Inside the room, the mirror opens. Behind it, in an inferno of white light, stands the Phantom. He reaches forward and takes Christine  by the wrist. She disappears through  the mirror, which closes behind her. The door of the dressing room   suddenly unlocks and swings open, and Raoul enters to find the room empty.

A tour de force! No other way to describe it!  What a relief! Not a single refund!  Richard, I think we've made quite a discovery in Miss Daae!  Here we are, Monsieur le Vicomte  Gentlemen, if you couldn't mind. This is the one visit I should prefer to make unaccompanied.  Christine Daae, where is your scarf? You can't have lost it. After all the trouble I took. I was just 14 and soaked to the skin...  Oh, Raoul. So it is you !  Father said, "When I', in heaven child, I will send the Angel of music to you". Well, father is dead. Raoul, and I have been visited by the  Angel of Music.  No doubt of it - And now we''l go to supper!  No, Raoul, the Angel of Music is very strict.  You must change. I must get my hat. Two minutes - Little Lotte  Raoul!   Things have changed Raoul.  Insolent boy!  This slave of fashion,  basking in your glory  Ignorant fool!  This brave young suitor,  sharing in  my triumph!  Angel, my soul was weak -  forgive me.  enter at last, Master!  Flattering child, you  shall know me,  see why in shadow I hide!  Look at your face in the mirror-  I am there inside!  Angel of music!  Hide no longer!  Come to me, strange angel...  I am your angel...  Come to me: Angel of Music  Whose is that voice...?  Whose is that voice in there...?  I am your Angel of Music  Come to me: Angel of Music
