Raoul pays a visit to Christine’s dressing room.

As Christine sings the aria during the evening performance, the Opéra’s new patron, Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny, recognizes her as his childhood friend and playmate (“Think of Me”).īackstage after her triumphant début, Christine confesses to her best friend Meg (Madame Giry’s daughter) that she knows her mysterious teacher only as an invisible “Angel of Music” (“Angel of Music”). With cancellation of the sold out show being their only other alternative, the managers reluctantly audition Christine and are surprised to discover that she is indeed up to the challenge. Madame Giry, the Opéra’s ballet mistress, informs Firmin and André that Christine Daaé, a chorus girl and orphaned daughter of a prominent violinist, has been “well taught” and can sing Carlotta’s role. The managers try to downplay the incident, but Carlotta angrily insists that such things have been happening for “three years” and she storms out, quitting the show. Carlotta, the Opéra’s resident soprano prima donna, begins to perform an aria for the new managers when a backdrop inexplicably falls from the flies, barely missing her and prompting anxious chorus girls to whisper, “He’s here! The Phantom of the Opera!”. It is now 1881 and the cast of a new production, Hannibal, are rehearsing onstage when they learn that new owners, Firmin and André, are taking over the Paris Opéra House (“Hannibal Rehearsal”). As the porters remove the drop cloth covering the fixture, it flickers to life and ascends to the ceiling as the auditorium’s former grandeur is restored (“Overture”). In 1911 Paris, the Paris Opéra hosts an auction of old theatrical props. Among the attendees is the Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, who purchases a papier-mâché music box and eyes it sadly, remarking how the details are “exactly as she said.” The auctioneer presents “a chandelier in pieces” as the next item up for bid, alluding to a connection with “the Phantom of the Opera”.
