ANDRE/FIRMIN:Signora, no! |
| [00:15.13] |
ANDRE/FIRMIN:The world wants you! |
| [00:21.96] |
ANDRE/FIRMIN:Prima Donna, first lady of the stage! |
| [00:28.41] |
ANDRE/FIRMIN:Your devotees are on their knees to implore you! |
| [00:35.90] |
ANDRE:Can you bow out when they're shouting your name? |
| [00:43.32] |

| [00:50.51] |

Christine spoke of an angel---- |
| [01:24.16] |
CARLOTTA:Prima donna, your song shall live again! |
| [01:31.06] |
ANDRE/FIRMIN:Think of your public! |
| [01:32.55] |
CARLOTTA:You took a snub, but there's a public who needs you! |
| [01:35.90] |
GIRY:She has heard the voice of the angel of music ... |
| [01:36.79] |
ANDRE/FIRMIN:Those who hear your voice liken you to an angel! |
| [01:39.44] |
CARLOTTA:Think of their cry of undying support! |
| [01:44.82] |
RAOUL:IS this her angel of music? |
| [01:45.98] |
ANDRE:We get our opera ... |
| [01:47.43] |
FIRMIN:She gets her limelight! |
| [01:52.08] |
CARLOTTA:Follow where the limelight leads you! |
| [01:52.68] |
ANDRE/FIRMIN:Leading ladies are a trial! |
| [01:54.58] |
CARLOTTA:Prima donna, your song shall never die! |
| [02:00.47] |
You'll sing again and to unending ovation! |
| [02:02.27] |

Lunatic demands |
| [02:06.07] |

| [02:07.96] |
CARLOTTA:Think how you'll shine in that final encore! |
| [02:13.46] |

| [02:17.87] |
ANDRE/FIRMIN:Surely there'll be further scenes worse than this!（ |
| [02:20.17] |
RAOUL:I must see these demands are rejected! |
| [02:22.57] |
ANDRE/FIRMIN:Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve a |
| [02:25.20] |
chorus girl who's gone and slept with the patron? |
| [02:28.46] |
Raoul and the soubrette, entwined in love's duet! |
| [02:31.89] |
Although he may demur, he must have been with her! |
| [02:35.34] |
You'd never get away with all this in a play, |
| [02:38.69] |
but if it's loudly sung and in a foreign tongue， |
| [02:42.24] |
it's just the sort of story audiences adore, |
| [02:45.79] |
In fact a perfect opera! |
| [02:47.62] |
His game is over! |
| [02:48.32] |
GIRY:This is a game you cannot hope to win! |
| [02:48.91] |
RAOUL:And in Box Five a new game will begin... |
| [02:50.17] |
GIRY:For,if his curse is on this opera... |
| [02:50.56] |
But if his curse is on this opera-- |
| [02:51.06] |
ANDRE/FIRMIN:Prima donna, the world is at your feet! |
| [02:56.26] |
A nation waits, and how it hates to be cheated! |
| [03:03.84] |
Light up the stage |
| [03:07.35] |
With that age-old rapport |
| [03:11.68] |
Sing, prima donna, once more! |
