As for Miss Christine Daae.no doubt she'll do her best, it's true her voice is good. And my managers must learn that their place is in an office, not the arts. Our Don Juan must lose some weight it's not healthy in a man of Piangi's age.

Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest.You alone can make my song take flight.What warm unspoken secrets will we learn? Past the point of no return, the final threshold.Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you.

"All I Ask Of You" (reprise, following "The Point of No Return").Say you want me with you here, beside you.

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.No "buts"! for once, Monsieur le Vicomte is right.Angel of music, you denied me, turning from true beauty.Wandering child, so lost, so helpless! Yearning for my guidance!.The bridge is crossed so stand and watch it burn.And though you turn from me to glance behind, the Phantom of the Opera is there.Overcome by emotion, as he has never been kissed or allowed to kiss, the Phantom shows her true love and sets her free–ultimately to be with Raoul.Īccording to, the plot of “The Phantom of the Opera” is about the obsessive pursuit of something–love, money, revenge, status, etc.–and the redeeming qualities of love in this case, both for the Phantom and Christine. She agrees to save both Raoul and innocent lives, and after the Phantom kisses her on the forehead, she returns his kiss. Raoul, handsome and rich, is smitten with Christine and pursues her despite the Phantom’s ominous warnings.Īt the end of “The Phantom of the Opera,” the Phantom kidnaps Christine and forces her to promise marriage to him if she refueses, he vows to blow up the opera house. The Phantom teaches her to sing his works, but on the eve of her debut, the new patron of the opera house recognizes Christine as an old childhood friend. Christine believes that the phantom is the Angel of Music, a figure that her father promised would protect her when he died. “The Phantom of the Opera” takes place in 1881, when the disfigured phantom chooses Christine Daae, an orphaned dancer at a Parisian opera house, to become his protégée.
