Little Lotte

RAOUL
Little Lotte let her mind wander
Little Lotte thought, Am I fonder of dolls
or of goblins or shoes?

CHRISTINE
Raoul

RAOUL
or of riddles of frocks

CHRISTINE
Those picnics in the attic

RAOUL
or of chocolates

CHRISTINE
Father playing the violin

RAOUL
As we read to each other dark stories of the North

CHRISTINE
No - what I love best, Lotte said,
is when I'm asleep in my bed
and the Angel of Music sings songs in my head!

BOTH
The Angel of Music sings songs in my head!

RAOUL
You sang like an angel tonight

CHRISTINE
Father said, 'When I'm 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.

RAOUL
Oh, no doubt of it - And now we'll go to supper!

CHRISTINE
No, Raoul, the Angel of Music is very strict.

RAOUL
Well, I shan't keep you up late!

CHRISTINE
Raoul, no

RAOUL
You must change. I'll order my carriage.
Two minutes - Little Lotte.

CHRISTINE
No, Raoul, wait!

PHANTOM
Insolent boy!
This slave of fashion
basking in your glory!

Ignorant fool!
This brave young suitor,
sharing in my triumph!

CHRISTINE
Angel! I hear you!
Speak, I listen...
stay by my side, guide me!

Angel, my soul was weak
forgive me...
enter at last, Master!

PHANTOM
Flattering child
you shall know me,
see why in shadow I hide
Look at your face in the mirror
I am there inside!

CHRISTINE
Angel of Music!
Guide and guardian!
Grant to me your glory!

Angel of Music!
Hide no longer!
Come to me, strange angel

PHANTOM
I am your Angel of Music
Come to me: Angel of Music

RAOUL
Whose is that voice?
Who is that in there?

PHANTOM
I am your Angel of Music

RAOUL
Christine, Christine

PHANTOM
Come to me: Angel of Music
