Phantom:

Why so silent, good monsieurs?

Did you think that I had left you for good?

Have you missed me, good monsieurs?

I have written you an opera.

Here, I bring the finish score.

Don Juan Triumphant!

Fondest greetings to you all

A few instructions just before rehearsal starts

Carlotta must be taught to act

Not her normal trick of strutting 'round the stage

Our Don Juan must loose some weight

It's not healthy in a man of Piangi's age

And my managers must learn that their place is in an office

Not the arts

As for our star, Miss Christine Daae...



No doubt she'll do her best/It's true, her voice is good

She knows, though

Should she wish to excell

She has much still to learn

If pride will let her return to me, her teacher

Her teacher...

(Spoken)

Your chains are still mine, you belong to me!
