Prima donna

Fantasma da Ópera
Your public needs you!We need you, too!
Would you not rather have your precious little ingenue?
Signora, no!
the world wants you!
Prima donna first lady of the stage!
Your devotees are on their knees to implore you!

Can you bow out when they're shouting your name?
Think of how they all adore you!

Prima donna, enchant us once again!

Think of your muse ...And of the queues round the theatre!

Can you deny us the triumph in store?
Sing, prima donna, once more!


Christine spoke of an angel ...

She has heard the voice of the angel of music
Those who hear your voice liken you to an angel!
Prima Donna your song shall live again, you took a snub,
but there's a public who needs you.
Think of their cry of undying support!

Is this her angel of music ...?
We get our opera
She gets her limelight!
Leading ladies are a trial!
Heaven help you, those who doubt ...
Prima Donna your song shall never die
You'll sing again, and to unending ovation!

Tears ... oaths ...
Lunatic demands are regular occurrences!
Orders! Warnings!
Lunatic demands!
This miscasting will invite damnation ...
Think how you'll shine in that final encore!
Surely there'll be further scenes worse than this!
Think, before these demands are rejected!
... I must see
these demands are rejected!

... if his threats and demands are rejected

Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve a chorus girl,
who's gone and slept with the patron?
Raoul and the soubrette,
entwined in love's duet!
Although he may demur,
he must have been with her!
You'd never get away with all this in a play,
but if it's loudly sung and in a foreign tongue
it's just the sort of story audiences adore,
in fact a perfect opera!

Prima donna the world is at your feet!
A nation waits, and how it hates to be cheated!
Light up the stage with that age old rapport!
Sing, prima donna, once more!
