PHANTOM
Brava! brava! bravissima ...

MEG
Christine, Christine ...

PHANTOM
Christine ...

MEG
Where in the world have you been hiding?
Really, you were perfect!

I only wish I knew your secret!
Who is your great tutor?


CHRISTINE
Father once spoke of an angel
I used to dream he'd appear ...

Now as I sing, I can sense him ...
And I know he's here ...

Here in this room he calls me softly ...
somewhere inside hiding ...

Somehow I know he's always with me ...
he - the unseen genius ...


MEG
Christine, you must have been dreaming ...
Stories like this can't come true ...

Christine, you're talking in riddles ...
And it's not like you ...


CHRISTINE
Angel of Music!
Guide and guardian!
Grant to me your glory!


MEG
Who is this angel?
This ...


BOTH
Angel of Music!
Hide no longer!
Secret and strange angel


CHRISTINE
He's with me, even now ...

MEG
Your hands are cold ...

CHRISTINE
All around ...

MEG
Your face, Christine, it's white ...

CHRISTINE
It frightens me ...

MEG
Don't be frightened ...
