Andrew Lloyd Webber - Prologue

Sold Your number, sir Thank you

Sold, for thirty francs to the Vicomte de Chagny Thank you, sir

RAOUL in his mind
A collector's piece, indeed
Every detail exactly as she said
Will you still play, when all the rest of us are dead

AUCTIONEER, spoken
Lot 666, then: a chandelier in pieces Some of you may recall the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera a mystery never fully explained We're told, ladies and gentlemen, that this is the very chandelier which figures in the famous disaster Our workshops have repaired it and wired parts of it for the new electric light Perhaps we may frighten away the ghost of so many years ago with a little illumination Gentlemen
