The Prologue
PROLOGUE
In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me and speaks my name
And do I dream again for now I find
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind
Sing once again with me our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me to glance behind
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside your mind
Those who have seen your face draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
The Auction
The auction is starting
The curtains are drawing apart
And here is your chance
To take a chance
To own a heart
So let the bidding begin
For this is your night
To shine like the star
You are
The Stalls
The Stalls lyrics:
All I ask of you, is forever to remember me
As loving you and loving me
Is how it should be
All I ask of you, is forever to recall
The way you felt today, as love flowed through us all
I have brought you here so that we can be as one
Leave the world behind and come into the light
Share with me the vision of your perfect final scene
And let the music of the night take control!
The Ballet
The Phantom of the Opera lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Webber contains the words to the songs sung by the characters in The Phantom of the Opera musical. The musical is based on the novel The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux.
The first musical production of The Phantom of the Opera premiered in London’s West End in 1986. The original cast included Michael Crawford as The Phantom, Sarah Brightman as Christine, and Steve Barton as Raoul.
The show has been produced on Broadway and around the world multiple times and has been translated into many languages. In 2004, a film adaptation was released, starring Gerard Butler as The Phantom and Emmy Rossum as Christine.
There are several well-known songs in The Phantom of the Opera, including “The Music of the Night,” “Think of Me,” “All I Ask of You,” and “The Point of No Return.”
The Phantom’s Lair
The Phantom’s Lair is a dark and mysterious place, hidden away from the world. The Phantom lives there, hidden from society, and he spends his days creating his music. The music of the night is the only thing that brings him joy, and he pours his heart and soul into it.
The Phantom is a tragic figure, misunderstood by the world. He is an outcast, shunned by society. But in the darkness of his lair, he is free to be himself. He can be wild and passionate, and he can express himself through his music.
The Music of the Night is a beautiful ballad that captures the essence of the Phantom’s character. It is a song about yearning for something that can never be yours, and it is sung with great emotion by the Phantom himself.
The lyrics of The Music of the Night are written in a very poetic style, and they capture the dark and romantic atmosphere of the Phantom’s lair perfectly. The song is both haunting and beautiful, and it has become one of the most popular songs from The Phantom of the Opera.
The Masquerade
The Masque (Act II, Scene 1)
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The northern lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge I cremated Sam McGee.
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The northern lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
The Point of No Return
“The Point of No Return” is a song from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical The Phantom of the Opera. It is sung by the Phantom in the lair beneath the Paris Opera House after he has decided that Christine Daaé will be his new protégée. In the musical, this song marks the turning point in the Phantom’s story, after which he becomes truly evil.
The Finale
The Finale is the final song of the play. In it, the Phantom sings about how he will never be able to love or be loved and how the music of the night is all he has. He also begs Christine to stay with him forever.
