Quotes
Here are some of my favorite quotes throughout the musical...
"Angel of Music, guide and guardian!
Grant to me your glory!"-Christine: Act I, Scene 3
"In all your fantasies you always knew
that man and mystery..."
"...were both in you..."-Phantom/Christine: Act I, Scene 4
"Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world,
leave all thoughts of the life you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me..."-Phantom: Act I, Scene 5
"Stranger than you dreamt it, can you even dare to look
or bear to think of me: this loathsome gargoyle
who burns in hell, but secretly
yearns for heaven secretly...secretly...
But Christine - fear can turn to love
you'll learn to see, to find the man behind the monster..."-Phantom: Act I, Scene 6
"Those who speak of what they know,
find, too, late that prudent silent is wise..."-Giry: Act I, Scene 7
"What a way to run a business! Spare me these unending trials!
Half your cast disappears, but the crowd still cheers!
Opera!
To hell with Gluck and Handel - it's a scandel that'll back 'em in the aisles!-Firmin: Act I, Scene 8
"Those who scorn his words, beware to those:
the angel sees, the angel knows!"-Giry: Act I, Scene 8
"But his voice filled my spirit with a strange, sweet sound...
In that night there was music in my mind...
And through music my soul began to soar!
And I heard as I'd never heard before..."-Christine: Act I, Scene 10
"I gave you my music... made your song take wing...
and now, how you've repaid me:
denied me and betrayed me..."-Phantom: Act I, Scene 10
"Masquerade! Leering satyrs, peering eyes...
Masquerade! Run and hide, but a face will still pursue you!"-Ensemble: Act II, Scene 1
"Twisted every way, what answer can I give?
Am I to risk my life to win the chance to live?
Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice?
Do I become his prey? Do I have any choice?He kills without a thought, he murders all that's good...
I know I can't refuse, and yet, I wish I could...
Oh God - if I agree, what horrors wait for me
in this, the Phantom's opera...?-Christine: Act II, Scene 3
"No one will know if it is right or if it is wrong.
No one will care if it is right of ir it is wrong."-Carlotta: Act II, Scene 4
"Angel... or father... friend... or Phantom...?
Who is it there, staring?""Angel... oh speak... What endless longings
echo in this whisper!"-Christine: Act II, Scene 5
"Seal my fate tonight,
I'd hate to have to cut the fun short.
But the joke's wearing thin,
let the audience in.
Let my opera begin!"-Phantom: Act II, Scene 6
"Past the point of no return - no going back now:
our passion-play has now, at last, begun...
Past all thought of right or wrong... one final question:
how long should we two wait, before we're one...?-Aminta (Christine): Act II, Scene 7
"Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair!
Down we plunge to the prison of my mind!
Down that path into darkness deep as hell!"Why, you ask, was I bound and chained in this cold and dismal place?
Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face!"-Phantom: Act II, Scene 8
"This haunted face holds no horror for me now...
It's in your soul that the true distortion lies..."-Christine: Act II, Scene 9
