在歌剧《
Hannibal》的排练中,两位新来的剧团经理,来到剧院观看。剧团的台柱,女高音Carlotta正在唱歌的时候,突然一个沙袋从舞台顶上落下,只差一点点就可能砸死她。 在演员们的惊呼之中,伴唱的姑娘们尖叫起来"是Phantom干的"。Carlotta又惊又气,拂袖下场,拒绝再唱。 剧团芭蕾舞教练Giry太太站出来…
G: Oh,It must be the phantom,
MA: Phantom? I used to think it's only a legend。 What shall we do?
G: Every time there is a performance the No 5 balcony should be empty。 For it's phantom's。 And the 2 million franc that is given to the phantom should be continued。 Or the accidents happened today won't stop。
MA: That's a bad news。 But even worse Carlotta our leading actress also a bad temper woman refuse to play the role。
G: Not very difficult。 Christine can take the place of her。
MA: Christine?
G: Yes。 Though she is 16 in our troupe but I learn from my daughter that she is learning singing from a secret teacher。 And she sings a wonderful voice。
MA: Ok…ok since I have no idea now。 Christine could have a try。
《
Hannibal》的公演时,包箱里坐的子爵Raoul,也是歌剧院新的股东,发现剧里的女主角就是Christine,他年幼时的好朋友。 演出结束以后,Raoul到后台见Christine并邀请她同进晚餐。 Christine见到久别的好友虽然很高兴,但是她拒绝了Raoul的邀请,因为她的音乐教师,"音乐天使",对她十分严格。Raoul离开后,Christine对镜卸妆的时候赫然发现Phantom从镜子里面显现出来。 Christine被他牵引着,穿过镜子,仿佛走进了另一个世界。他们走下一层又一层的楼梯,坐船穿过歌剧院地下水池,最后来到Phantom所住的秘室。秘室的四周布满高大的烛台,里面的布置精制而高贵,但是既陈旧又破烂。 在Phantom的钢琴声里,Christine的音乐课开始了。
P: I find the one I'm looking for eventually。 A person who can understand my music has appeared。 Christine for the first time I see her I know she is the one I'm looking for。 Now I'm making effort to practice her to be the best singers。 One day she will be able to sing my song in the stage。
CH: What a man he is。 He always wears a mask。 And I know nothing about him。 His name, his backdrop, where he came from, only I know that he is a good person and help me lot。 Maybe he is ugly。 How he looks like?
… …
P: No, I can be sure that you won't be interesting in it。 And you never have chance to see my real appearance。 Oh it's already daybreak。 You should go to the ground。
Ch: Bye
P: I think we would meet soon。
Some days later
G: what is the matter manager? You look so worried。
Ma: A serious problem。 The phantom had sent me a letter。
G: what's the content。
MA: It reads that he order us to let Christine be the leading actress of the new opera。
G: it doesn't seem so bad as I think。
MA: But Carlotta won't agree。
G: What are you going to do now。
MA: I choose Carlotta for she is more famous now。 And she will of course make the opera successful。
G: Will the phantom take action to do sth?
MA: I hope he'd better not。 Now strengthen the guard。 It's all I can do。
在演出中,Christine扮演主角,在表演结束演员上台谢幕的时候,Phantom出现在舞台上方的水晶玻璃吊灯上,他摇动了吊灯,在众人的震惊之中,硕大的吊灯从天而降。
吊灯事件后整整六个月,歌剧院都没有Phantom的消息。 ,歌剧院举行的盛大舞会。Christine和Raoul已经订婚了,但是他们的订婚消息并没有公开,Christine的订婚戒指也一直被她偷偷挂在项链上面。 舞会中间,Phantom突然再次出现了,这一次,他打扮成红色死神,并且交个剧院经理他呕心沥血所编写的剧本,唐徨。 一开始,经理们不同意演出这个离奇而且怪异的剧本。但是Raoul提议他们可以先排练,再设计下圈套捕捉Phantom。 几经商量,他们的计策逐渐成型,但是要用Christine做诱饵。
MA: who are you?
P: there is no need for you to know who I am。 Take it。
MA: what's this。
P: a playbook。
MA: a playbook
P: yes you ought to perform it as I tell you。 Listen to me or you will regret。
After the party
R: what are you looking at manager。
MA: oh my venerable viscount。 It is just a playbook。
R: who wrote it? What a fantastic story it is。
MA: it is…
R: the phantom isn't he。 Only he can do it。
MA: yes viscount。
R: so what are you going to deal with it。
MA: as you say the story is so strange I don't think it should be performed。
R: I think it should。 For phantom always make my fiancée Christine worried。 And he had killed Carlotta。
MA: you mean that…
R: try to perform the play。 And the phantom would appear the police would catch him。
MA: a good plan。 But…
R: take it easy。 I think it will succeed。
唐徨的首场演出时,整个巴黎歌剧院布满了警察和看守,都满心期待着抓到Phantom。 在最后一段压轴歌曲里,Phantom扮成男主角。 后,他甩脱了警察的包围,再一次挟带着Christine来到歌剧院底下,穿过水池,来到他藏身的地方。Raoul追到Christine的化妆室,找不到暗门。Giry太太是Phantom的传信人,但是她觉得Raoul和Christine是真心相爱,于是她指Raoul打开镜子后面的暗门,Raoul一路追到了秘室。
R: where are they had gone。 It seems that they had disappear。
G: What's wrong。 Why are you here, viscount?
R: you should know I lost my way。 I must find my fiancée as soon as I can。 You Mrs。 Giry know a lot of phantom should know where he had gone。 Tell me。
G: (should I tell him what I know, I'm the passenger of phantom but。 ) now tell me young one you love Christine and she loves you don't you。
R: yes I can swear。 I would take care of her for the whole life。
G: Ok I feel for Christine so much。 Ok you go down through the door of the mirror。 This is all I can help
R: Thank you so much。
G: be careful young man。
R: I will dear madam。 My thanks to you again。
Phantom看到Raoul走近,他放下铁条闸门,把Raoul锁在门外,他告诉Christine,如果她肯他走,他就会放Raoul一命,如果Christine不同意,那么他就杀了Raoul。 这时警察们追着Raoul也来到密室外面。Phantom忽然转念,决定放这一对年轻的恋人离开,因为他明白Christine永远不会爱他,他的一番苦心也永远不会有结果。他打开秘室的闸门,警察一拥而进,可是一阵烟雾过后,Phantom所坐的椅子上只留下一只面具,人却消失得无影无踪了。
R: Free her! Do what you like, only free her!
P: now dear Christine you have to make a Choose。 GO with me and I will release this gentleman。 If you don't this young man will certainly die。
R: don't listen to him Christine。 Phantom let Christine go you can kill me。 Why don't。 I'm prey for you lust for blood。 You are a demon。
CH: I have never been recognizing that you are such a cruel one。 You have taught me, and you have changed now。
P: Cruel。 You say cruel。 Who is cruel? It's me who give you the chance to be the famous actress。 And you have betrayed me。
Ch: how can you say so! I respect you so much。 But I loved Raoul。 I will follow him not you。
R: I love her! Show some compassion。
P: shut up。 The world shows no compassion to me。
Police: viscount。 Are you in? Track down this murderer - he must be found!
We will burst in。
P: too late to turn back。 You must pay for what you have down to me
CH: not too late my friend。 What you need is others care。
R: either way you choose, my love, he wins。 Forgive me, I can't do as I promise to be with you。
CH: why torment yourself my friend。 End it。
P: either way you choose, I lose。 Maybe you are right Christine。 Oh see what I have down to you。
P: young man you are free now。 Forget all this and all you have seen。 Take her away。
R: Why。 You set us free。
P: no reason, perhaps。 Christine, listen。 Only you can take my song flight。
CH: I will。 But what are you going to do。
P: It is over now。 The play has concluded。 There is no phantom in the world from now and forever。
