The Phantom of the Opera by Jennifer Basset原文Chapter 10: Madame Gigy visits the PersianFor weeks, all Paris talked about that night at the Opera.Everybody asked questions, but nobody knew the answers.Where was Christine Daae? Where was the Vicome de Chagny?Were they alive, or dead? And the Phantom of the Opera …?Some weeks after that famous night, Madame Giry went out one afternoon to a small house near the Rivoli gardens.She went in and up the stairs to some rooms at the top of the house.The Persian open the door.Madam, God looked at him."My friend, you know the answers. Please tell me. Are they alive or dead?""Come in,"the Persian said quietly.They sat down on some chairs by the window, and looked out across the Rivoli gardens."Yes," the Persian said slowly, "The Phantom is dead now. He did not want to live any longer. I saw his body three days ago, and because of that, I can talk to you about him. He cannot kill me now.""So the Phantom was really a man? " Madame Giry asked."Yes, his name was Erik. That was not his real name, of course. He was born in France, but I knew him in Persia. He was a famous builder and I worked with him there. For a time I was his friend, but not for long. When he came to Paris, I came after him – I wanted to watch him. He was a very clever, very dangerous man. He could be in two, or three, places at the same time. He could be in one place, and his voice could come from another place. He could do many clever things with ropes and mirrors, and secret doors. You see, he helped to build the Opera House. He built secret passages underground, and his secret house on the lake. He could not live in the outside world, because of his terrible, ugly face. Unhappy Erik! We can feel sorry for him,Madame Giry. He was so clever... and so ugly.People screamed when they saw his face. And so he lived this strange life - Half man – Half phantom. But he was a man, in the end. He wanted a woman's love. He stopped.And Madame Giry asked quietly, "And Christine Daae and VicomteRaoul? What happened to them?"The Persian smiled."Ah yes! What happened to young Raoul and the beautiful Christine...? Who knows."Nobody in Paris ever saw Raoul and Christine again.Perhaps they took a train to the north, and lived a quiet happy life together there.Perhaps Christine's wonderful voice is still singing, somewhere in the cold and beautiful mountains of Norway.Who knows.翻译第十章:吉丽夫人拜访波斯人几个星期以来，整个巴黎都在谈论歌剧院的那个晚上。每个人都问问题，但没有人知道答案。克丽斯廷·达埃在哪儿?夏尼伯爵在哪里?他们是活着还是死了?那歌剧魅影呢?那个著名的夜晚过后几个星期，一天下午，吉丽夫人到里沃利花园附近的一所小房子里去。她走了进去，上了楼梯，来到房子顶层的几个房间。波斯人打开了门。夫人，上帝看着他。“我的朋友，你知道答案。请告诉我。他们是死是活?”“请进。”波斯人平静地说。他们在窗边的几张椅子上坐了下来，望着窗外的里沃利花园。“是的，”波斯人慢慢地说，“幽灵现在已经死了。他不想再活了。三天前我看到了他的尸体，正因为如此，我才可以跟你谈谈他。他现在杀不了我了。”“这么说幻影真的是个人?”吉丽夫人问。“是的，他的名字叫埃里克。当然，这不是他的真名。他出生在法国，但我在波斯认识他。他是一位著名的建筑师，我在那里和他一起工作。有一段时间我是他的朋友，但并不长久。他来巴黎时，我跟着他——我想监视他。他是一个非常聪明，非常危险的人。他可能同时出现在两个或三个地方。他可能在一个地方，而他的声音可能来自另一个地方。他可以用绳子、镜子和暗门做很多聪明的事情。你知道，他帮助建造了歌剧院。他在地下建造了秘密通道，在湖上建造了他的秘密房子。他不能生活在外面的世界，因为他可怕的，丑陋的脸。不幸的埃里克!我们为他感到难过，吉丽夫人。他太聪明了……而且很丑。人们一看到他的脸就尖叫起来。于是他过着这种奇怪的生活——半人半鬼。但他终究是个男人。他想要女人的爱。他停止了。”吉丽夫人平静地问道:“克丽斯廷·达埃和拉乌尔子爵呢?他们后来怎么样了?”波斯人笑了。“哦,是的!年轻的拉乌尔和美丽的克里斯汀发生了什么事?谁知道。”巴黎再也没有人见过拉乌尔和克里斯汀。也许他们乘火车去了北方，在那里过着平静幸福的生活。也许克里斯汀美妙的声音还在歌唱，在挪威寒冷而美丽的山区的某个地方。谁知道呢。

The Phantom of the Opera by Jennifer Basset原文Chapter 8: Where is Christine Daae?On Saturday morning,Comte Phillipe looked across the breakfast table at his brother."Don't do it,Raoul, please. All this talk about ghosts and phantoms. I think the girl is mad.""She's not mad,and I'm going to marry her." Raoul said."She's only a little opera singer" Phillipe said unhappily. "And she's very young. Are you still going to love her in ten or twenty years time?Raoul drank his coffee and did not answer.There were two more unhappy faces in the Opera House, too.The directors now understood about O.G.They didn't want anymore accidents."It's a lot of money," Mr. Firmin said unhappily.He thought for a minute."What about some flowers in Box 5? Madam Giry says that O.G likes flowers.""O.G. can bring his own flowers!" shouted Mr. Armand.The evening began well.The chandelier was now back in place, with new ropes.All Paris was in the Opera House.Everybody wanted to hear Christine Daae's voice again.People also knew about the love story between Christine Daae and the Vicomte de Chagny.There are no love secrets in Paris!People watched the Comte and the Vicomte Box 14 with interest.Young men from families like de Chagny do not marry opera singers.When Christine came onto the stage, her face was white, and she looked afraid.But she sang like an angel.Ah, what a voice!All Paris was in love with Christine Daae.She began to sing the famous love song.Suddenly, every light in the Opera House went out.For a second, nobody moved or spoke.Then a woman screamed, and all the lights came on again.But Christine Daae was no longer on the stage!She was not behind the stage. She was not under the stage.Nobody could find her.The Opera House went mad.Everybody around here and there, shouted and called.In the director's office, people ran in and out.The police came and asked questions.But nobody could answer the questions.Mr. Armand got angry and shouted, and Mr. Firmin told him to be quiet.Then, Madame Giry arrived in the office with her daughter, Meg."Go away,woman! " Mr. Armand shouted."Monsieur,there are three people missing now!" Madame Giry said. "Meg, tell the directors your story."This was Meg story."When the lights went out, we were just behind the stage. We heard a scream - I think it was Christine Daae's voice. Then the lights came back on, but Christine wasn't there! We were very afraid, and we began to run back to our dressing room. There were people running everywhere. Then we saw the Vicomte de Chagny. His face was red, and he was very angry. "Where's Christine? Where's Christine?"He shouted. Suddenly, the Persian came up behind him and took his arm. He said something to the Vicomte and they went into Christine Daae's dressing room.….""Yes? And then?" Mr. Firmin said quickly. "What happened next?""Nobody knows!" Meg's face was white. "We looked into Christine Daae's dressing room, but ... but that...was nobody there!"翻译第八章:克丽斯廷·达埃在哪里?星期六早晨，菲利普伯爵隔着早餐桌望着他的哥哥。“别这样，拉乌尔，求你了。一直在说鬼魂和幽灵。我想这女孩疯了。”“她没疯，我要娶她。”拉乌尔说。“她只是个小歌剧演员。”菲利普不高兴地说。“她还很年轻。十年二十年后你还会爱她吗?拉乌尔喝了咖啡，没有回答。歌剧院里还有两张不高兴的脸。董事们现在理解了O.G.他们不想再发生意外。“这是一大笔钱，”菲尔曼先生不高兴地说。他想了一会儿。“在5号盒子里放些花怎么样?”吉丽夫人说O.G.喜欢花。”“O.G.可以带他自己的花来!”阿尔芒先生喊道。这个晚上开始得很顺利。枝形吊灯现在用新绳子放回了原位。整个巴黎都聚集在歌剧院。每个人都想再听到克丽斯廷·达埃的声音。人们也知道克里斯汀·达埃和沙尼子爵之间的爱情故事。巴黎没有爱情的秘密!人们饶有兴趣地看着伯爵和子爵包厢。像德·沙尼这样家庭出身的年轻人不会和歌剧演唱家结婚。当克里斯汀走上舞台时，她脸色苍白，看上去很害怕。但她唱得像个天使。啊，多么美妙的声音!整个巴黎都爱上了克丽斯廷·达埃。她开始唱那首著名的情歌。突然，歌剧院里所有的灯都熄灭了。一时间，没有人动，也没有人说话。然后一个女人尖叫起来，所有的灯又亮了。但是克丽斯廷·达埃已经不在舞台上了!她不在舞台后面。她不在舞台下面。没人能找到她。歌剧院都疯了。周围的每个人都喊着。在主任办公室里，人们进进出出。警察来问了些问题。但是没有人能回答这些问题。阿尔芒先生生气了，大喊大叫，菲尔曼先生叫他安静。接着，吉丽夫人带着她的女儿麦格来到了办公室。“走开，女人!”阿尔芒先生喊道。“先生，现在有三个人失踪了!”吉丽夫人说。“梅格，把你的故事告诉主管们。”这就是梅格的故事。“当灯光熄灭时，我们就在舞台后面。我们听到一声尖叫——我想那是克丽斯廷·达埃的声音。然后灯又亮了，但是克丽丝汀不在那儿!我们非常害怕，开始跑回更衣室。到处都有人在跑。他们看见了沙尼子爵。他的脸涨得通红，非常生气。“克里斯汀在哪里?克里斯汀在哪里?”他喊道。突然，波斯人走到他身后，抓住他的胳膊。他对子爵说了些什么，他们就走进了克丽斯廷·达埃的化妆室.....”“是吗?然后呢?”菲尔曼先生很快地说。“接下来发生了什么?”“没人知道!”麦格的脸变白了。“我们查看了克丽斯廷·达埃的化妆间，但是……但这…那里一个人也没有!”

The Phantom of the Opera by Jennifer Basset词汇提示1.Persian 波斯人原文Chapter 7: My angel of musicFor a week, Raoul saw Christine every day.Some days, Christine was quiet and unhappy, someday she laughed and sang.She never wanted to talk about the Opera House, or her singing, or Raoul's love for her.Raoul was very afraid for her.Who, or what was this strange teacher, This man's voice, her "Angel of Music"?Then, one day, there was no Christine.She was not at her home, not at the Opera House, not at their meeting places.Raoul looked everywhere and asked everybody.Where was Christine Daae?But nobody knew.Two days before the Opera House opened again, a letter arrived for Raoul.It was from Christine.Meet me in an hour at the top of the Opera House on the 10th floor. The 10th floor of the Opera House was a dangerous place. There were hundreds of ropes going down to the stage below - It was a long, long way down.Raoul and Christine sat in a dark corner and Raoul took Christine's hands.Her face was white and tired."Listen,Raoul," she said quietly. "I'm going to tell you everything. But this is our last meeting. I can never see you again.""No, Christine!Raoul cried. "I love you. And we--""Shh! Quietly perhaps he can hear us. He's everywhere in the Opera House, Raoul.""Who? What are you talking about, Christine?""My angel of music. I couldn't meet you last Saturday because he came for me and took me away.I was in my dressing room in the opera house and suddenly, he was there in front of me. I saw the voice for the first time! He wore black evening clothes and a mask over his face. He took me through many secret doors and passages,down, down under the Opera House. There is a lake down there, a big lake; the waters are black and cold.He took me across the lake in a boat to his house. He lives there, Raoul, in house on the lake,under the Opera House! "Raoul stared at her.Was his beautiful Christine mad?Christine saw his face and said quickly: "It's true. It's true! And he …. he is the phantom of the Opera! But he's not a ghost, he's not an angel of music, he's a man! His name is Erik, and he loves me, he wants me to be his wife. No, Raoul, listen, there is more. He told me all this in his house, in a beautiful room. He said that no woman could ever love him, because of his face. He was so unhappy! Then he took off his mask, and I saw his face."She began to cry,and Raoul put his arms around her."Oh Raoul, he has the most terrible face! It is so ugly! I wanted to scream and runaway. But where could I run to?He has the face of a dead man, Raoul, but he is not dead!He has no nose, just two black holes in his yellow face. And his eyes!Sometimes they are black holes, sometimes they have a terrible red light...."She put her face in her hands for a second.Then she said,"I stayed in his house for five days. He was very good to me, and I felt sorry for him, Raoul. He wants me to love him, and I told him ...I told him… ""No, Christine,no! you're going to be my wife! Come away with me at once, today! You can't go back to him."But I must," Christine said quietly. "He knows about you, Raoul. He knows about us. He says he's going to kill you. I must go back to him.""Never!"said Raoul."I love you,Christine, and I'm going to kill this Erik!".Erik...Erik...Erik...Erik...The word whispered around the Opera House.Raoul and Christine stared."What was that?" Raoul said, afraid. "Was that .…. his voice? Where did it come from?""I'm afraid,Raoul, " Christine whispered. "I'm singing Margarita again on Saturday. What's going to happen?""This,"Raoul said, "After the opera on Saturday night, you and I are going away together. Come on. Let's go down now. I don't like it up here."They went carefully along a dark passage to some stairs, then suddenly stopped.There was a man in front of them, a tall man and a long dark coat and a black hat.He turned and looked at them."No, not these stairs,"he said. "Go to the stairs at the front. And go quickly!"Christine turned and ran. Raoul ran after her."Who was that man?" he asked."It's the Persian,"Christine answered."But who is he?What's his name? Why did he tell us to go to the front stairs?""Nobody knows his name. He's just the Persian. He's always in the Opera House. I think he knows about Erik, but he never talks about him. Perhaps he saw Erik on those stairs, and wanted to help us."Hand in hand, they ran quickly down the stairs, through passages, then more stairs and more passages.At one of the little back doors to the Opera House, they stopped."On Saturday night,then. After the opera," Raoul said. "I'm going to take you away, and marry you."Christine looked up into his face. "Yes, Raoul."Then they kissed,there by the door of the Opera House.Their first kiss.翻译第七章:我的音乐天使整整一个星期，拉乌尔每天都见到克里斯汀。有些日子，克里斯汀安静而不快乐，有些日子她又笑又唱。她从来不想谈歌剧院，不想谈她的歌唱，也不想谈拉乌尔对她的爱。拉乌尔非常担心她。这个奇怪的老师是谁，或者是什么，这个男人的声音，她的“音乐天使”?然后，有一天，克里斯汀不见了。她不在家里，不在歌剧院，不在他们见面的地方。拉乌尔到处看了看，问了问每个人。克丽斯廷·达埃在哪儿?但是没有人知道。在歌剧院重新开放的前两天，拉乌尔收到了一封信。是克里斯汀寄来的。一小时后在歌剧院顶层10楼见。歌剧院的10楼是个危险的地方。有几百根绳子通往下面的舞台——这是一条很长很长的路。拉乌尔和克里斯汀坐在一个黑暗的角落里，拉乌尔拉着克里斯汀的手。她的脸苍白而疲惫。“听着，拉乌尔。”她平静地说。“我要告诉你一切。但这是我们最后一次见面了。我再也见不到你了。”“不,克里斯汀!拉乌尔哭了。“我爱你。我们——”“嘘!悄悄地，也许他能听见我们。他在歌剧院无处不在，拉乌尔。”“谁?你在说什么，克里斯汀?”“我的音乐天使。上周六我没能见到你，因为他来接我，把我带走了。我在歌剧院的更衣室里，突然，他出现在我面前。我第一次看到了那个声音!他穿着黑色晚礼服，脸上戴着面具。他带我穿过许多秘密的门和通道，往下走，往下走，一直走到歌剧院下面。那里有一个湖，一个大湖;水又黑又冷。他用小船带我渡过湖去他家。他住在那儿，拉乌尔，在湖边的房子里，在歌剧院下面!”拉乌尔盯着她。他美丽的克里斯汀疯了吗?克里斯汀看到他的脸，急忙说:“这是真的。这是真的!他....他是歌剧里的幽灵!但他不是鬼，他不是音乐天使，他是人!他叫埃里克，他爱我，他想让我做他的妻子。不，拉乌尔，听着，还有更多。他在他的房子里，在一个漂亮的房间里告诉了我这一切。他说没有女人会因为他的脸而爱他。他太不开心了!然后他摘下面具，我看到了他的脸。”她哭了起来，拉乌尔搂住了她。“哦，拉乌尔，他有一张最可怕的脸!它太丑了!我想尖叫着逃跑。但我能逃到哪里去呢?他长着一张死人的脸，拉乌尔，但他没死!他没有鼻子，黄色的脸上只有两个黑洞。还有他的眼睛!有时它们是黑洞，有时它们发出可怕的红光....”她用手捂了一会儿脸。她说:“我在他家里住了五天。他对我很好，我为他感到难过，拉乌尔。他想让我爱他，我告诉他……我告诉他……”“不，克丽斯廷，不!你将成为我的妻子!今天就跟我走吧!你不能回到他身边。“但是我必须这样做，”克里斯汀平静地说。“他知道你的事，拉乌尔。他知道我们的事了。他说他要杀了你。我必须回到他身边去。”“决不!”拉乌尔说。“我爱你，克里斯汀，我要杀了这个埃里克!”埃里克、埃里克……埃里克、埃里克…这个消息传遍了歌剧院。拉乌尔和克里斯汀瞪大了眼睛。“那是什么?”拉乌尔害怕地说。那是.....吗?他的声音吗?它是从哪儿来的?”“我很害怕，拉乌尔。”克里斯汀低声说。“星期六我又要唱玛格丽塔了。会发生什么?”“这个，”拉乌尔说，“星期六晚上看完歌剧，你和我要一起离开。来吧。我们现在下去吧。我不喜欢这里。”他们小心翼翼地沿着一条黑暗的通道走到一些楼梯前，然后突然停了下来。在他们前面有一个人，一个高个子男人，穿着深色的长外套，戴着一顶黑帽子。他转过身来看着他们。“不，不是这些楼梯，”他说。“到前面的楼梯上去。快去!”克里斯汀转身就跑。拉乌尔追着她跑。“那个人是谁?”他问。“是波斯人，”克里斯汀回答。“可他是谁?”他叫什么名字?他为什么叫我们走前面的楼梯?”“没有人知道他的名字。他只是个波斯人。他总是在歌剧院。我想他知道埃里克的事，但他从不提起他。也许他看见埃里克在楼梯上，想帮助我们。”他们手拉手迅速跑下楼梯，穿过通道，然后是更多的楼梯和更多的通道。在歌剧院的一个小后门前，他们停了下来。“那就星期六晚上吧。看完歌剧，”拉乌尔说。“我要把你带走，娶你。”克里斯汀抬头看着他的脸。“是的,拉乌尔。”然后他们在歌剧院门口接吻了。他们的初吻。

The Phantom of the Opera by Jennifer Basset词汇提示1.chandelier 吊灯原文Chapter 6: La Carlotta sings MargaritaOn Friday morning,La Carlotta had her breakfast in bed.She drank her coffee and opened her morning letters.One letter had no name on it.It was very short."You are ill.You cannot sing Margarita to night.Stay at home and don't go to the Opera House. Accidents can happen. Do you want to lose your voice forever?"La Carlotta was very, very angry.She got out of bed at once and did not finish her breakfast."This is from Christine Daae's friends." She thought. "They want her to sing again tonight. That Daae girl is going to be sorry for this! I, La Carlotta, I am the best opera singer in Paris. And nothing is going to stop me singing Margarita tonight!"At six o'clock, that evening the dancers were in their dressing room.They talked and laughed and put on their red and black dresses for Faust.But Meg Giry was very quiet."What's the matter Meg? " Annie Sorelli asked."It's the opera ghost," Meg said. "My mother says he's angry. She's afraid that something's going to happen tonight. "" Oh,pooh!" the girl with black hair said. "Who's afraid of an old ghost?"An hour later, Mr.Armand and Mr. Firmin went into Box 5 and sat down.They were not afraid of ghosts. Of course not.There were no ghosts in the Opera House.Then, Mr. Armand saw flowers on the floor by the door of the box."Firmin,"he whispered, "did you put those flowers there?"Mr. Firmin looked."No, I didn't," he whispered back, "Did you?""Of course not,you fool! Shh, the music's beginning."La Carlotta did not sing for the first hour.There were no strange voices in Box 5, and the two directors began to feel happier.Then, La Carlotta came out onto the stage, and Mr. Firmin looked at Mr. Armand."Did you hear a voice just then?" he asked quietly."No," Mr.Armand said, but he looked behind him twice, then three times, and suddenly felt cold.La Carlotta sang and sang, and nothing happened.Then she began a beautiful love song. "My love begins to -Co-ack!"Everybody stared.What was the matter with Carlotta's voice? What was that strange noise -Co-ack? Carlotta stopped and began the song again."My love begins to - Co-ack!" "I cannot forget my - Co-ack!"It was the noise of a toad!People began to talk and laugh.Mr. Firmin put his head in his hands.Then he felt Mr. Armand's hand on his arm.There was a void in the box with them! A man's voice, laughing!Poor Carlotta tried again, and again. "I cannot forget my - Co-ack.!"Then the two directors heard the voice again, behind them, in front of them, every where."Her Singing tonight is going to bring down the chandelier!"The two directors looked up at the top of the Opera House.Their faces were white.The famous chandelier, with its thousand lights, broke away from its ropes and crashed down to the people below.That was a terrible night for the Paris Opera House.One woman was killed by the chandelier, and many people were hurt.The Opera House closed for two weeks.And La Carlotta never sang again.翻译第六章:拉·卡洛塔演唱玛格丽塔。星期五早上，拉·卡洛塔在床上吃早餐。她喝着咖啡，打开早晨的信。有一封信上没有名字。它很短。“你病了。今晚你不能唱玛格丽塔。呆在家里，不要去歌剧院。事故是可能发生的。你想永远失声吗?”拉·卡洛塔非常非常生气。她立刻下了床，没有吃完早餐。“这是克里斯汀·达埃的朋友送的。”她想。“他们想让她今晚再唱一次。那个叫达埃的女孩会为此后悔的!我，拉·卡洛塔，我是巴黎最好的歌剧演唱家。今晚没有什么能阻止我唱玛格丽塔!”那天晚上六点钟，跳舞的人都在化妆室里。他们有说有笑，为《浮士德》穿上红黑相间的衣服。但梅格·吉丽很安静。“怎么了，梅格?”安妮·索雷利问道。“是歌剧里的鬼魂，”麦格说。“我妈妈说他生气了。她担心今晚会发生什么事。”“哦，呸!”黑头发的女孩说。“谁会怕鬼?”一小时后，阿尔芒先生和菲尔曼先生走进5号包厢坐下。他们不怕鬼。当然不是。歌剧院里没有鬼。接着，阿尔芒先生看见包厢门边的地板上有花。“菲尔曼，”他低声说，“那些花是你放那儿的吗?”菲尔曼先生看了看。“不，我没有，”他小声回答，“你呢?”“当然不是，你这个傻瓜!”嘘，音乐开始了。”拉·卡洛塔第一个小时没有唱歌。5号包厢里没有奇怪的声音，两位主管开始感到高兴起来。然后，拉·卡洛塔走到舞台上，菲尔曼先生看着阿尔芒先生。“刚才你听到什么声音了吗?”他轻轻地问。“不，”阿尔芒先生说，但他回头看了两遍，又看了三遍，突然感到一阵寒意。拉·卡洛塔唱了又唱，什么也没发生。然后她开始唱一首美丽的情歌。“我的爱开始——呱!”每个人都盯着。卡洛塔的声音怎么了?那奇怪的声音是什么?卡洛塔停下来，重新开始唱歌。“我的爱开始——退呱!” “我不能忘记我的——呱!”那是癞蛤蟆的声音!人们开始有说有笑。菲尔曼先生双手抱头。接着，他感到阿尔芒先生的手在他的胳膊上。在他们的盒子里有一个空白!一个男人的声音，在笑!可怜的卡洛塔试了一次又一次。“我不能忘记我的——呱 !”然后两位主管又听到了那个声音，在他们身后，在他们前面，到处都是。“她今晚的歌声会使枝形吊灯黯然失色的!”两位导演抬头望着歌剧院的顶楼。他们的脸都白了。那盏挂着上千盏灯的著名枝形吊灯从绳索上脱落下来，砸向下面的人。对巴黎歌剧院来说，那是一个可怕的夜晚。一名妇女被吊灯砸死，许多人受伤。歌剧院关闭了两个星期。拉·卡洛塔再也没唱过歌。

The Phantom of the Opera by Jennifer Basset词汇提示1. Vicomte 子爵2. mademoiselle 小姐原文Chapter 3: Christine DaaeMr. Firmin was right.All Paris talked about the new Margarita in Faust, the girl with the beautiful voice, the girl with the voice of an angel.People loved her.They laughed and cried and called for more.Daae was wonderful,the best singer in the world!Behind the stage,Meg Giry looked at Annie Sorelli."Christine Daae never sang like that before," she said to Annie. "Why was she so good tonight?"."Perhaps she's got a new music teacher," Annie said.The noise in the Opera House went on for a long time.In Box 14, Phillipe, the Comte de Chagny, turned to his younger brother and smiled."Well, Raoul,what did you think of Daae tonight?" Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny, was 21 years old.He had blue eyes and black hair, and a wonderful smile.The Chagny family was old and rich, and many girls in Paris were in love with the young Vicomte.But Raoul was not interested in them.He smiled back at his brother."What can I say? Christine is an angel, that's all. I'm going to her dressing room to see her tonight."Phillipe laughed.He was 20 year solder than Raul, and was more like a father than a brother."Ah, I understand." He said, "You are in love! But this is your first night in Paris, your first visit to the opera. How do you know Christine Daae?""You remember four years ago, when I was on holiday by the sea, in Brittany?" Raoul said, "Well, I met Christine there. I was in love with her then, and I'm still in love with her today! "The Comte de Chagny looked at his brother."Mmm, I see." He said slowly. "Well, Raoul, remember she is only an opera singer. We know nothing about family."But Raoul did not listen.To him, good families were not important, and young men never listened to their older brothers.There were many people in Christine Daae's dressing room that night.But there was a doctor with Christine, and her beautiful face looked white and ill.Raoul went quickly across the room and took her hand."Christine!What's the matter? Are you ill?"He went down on the floor by her chair."Don't you remember me? Raoul de chagny, in Brittany?Christine looked at him, and her blue eyes were afraid.She took her hand away."No, I don't know you. Please go away. I'm not too out."Raoul stood up, his face red.Before he could speak,the doctor said quickly."Yes, yes, please go away. Everybody, please leave the room. Mademoiselle Daae needs to be quiet.She is very tired."He moved to the door, and soon everybody left the room.Christine Daae was alone in her dressing room.Outside in the passage the young Vicomte was angry and unhappy.How could Christine forget him? How could you say that to him?He waited for some minutes, then, very quietly and carefully, he went back to the door of her dressing room.But he did not open the door, because just then he heard a man's voice in the room!"Christine, You must love me.!" the voice said.Then Raoul heard Christine's voice."How can you talk like that? When I sing only for you? Tonight, I gave everything to you,everything. And now I'm so tired."Her voice was unhappy and afraid."You sound like an angel," the man's voice said.Raoul walked away.So that was the answer!Christine Daae had a lover.But why was her voiceso unhappy?He waited in the shadows near her room.He wanted to see her lover – his enemy!After about 10 minutes Christine came out of her room, alone, and walked away down the passage.Raoul waited, but no man came out after her.There was nobody in the passage, so Raoul went quickly up to the door of the dressing room, opened it and went in.He closed the door quietly behind him, then called out: Where are you? I know you're in here! Come out!"There was no answer.Raoul looked everywhere - under the chairs, behind all the clothes, in all the dark corners of the room.There was nobody there.翻译第三章:克里斯汀·达埃菲尔曼是对的。整个巴黎都在谈论《浮士德》里的新玛格丽塔，那个有着美丽嗓音的女孩，那个有着天使般嗓音的女孩。人们喜欢她。他们又笑又哭，要求更多。达埃太棒了，他是世界上最好的歌手!在舞台后面，梅格·吉丽看着安妮·索雷利。“克丽斯汀·达埃以前从来没有唱过那样的歌，”她对安妮说。“她今晚为什么这么好?”“也许她有了一个新的音乐老师，”安妮说。歌剧院里的喧闹声持续了很长时间。在十四号包厢里，沙尼伯爵菲利普转向他的弟弟，微微一笑。“喂，拉乌尔，你觉得达埃今晚怎么样?”拉乌尔，夏尼子爵，21岁。他有一双蓝色的眼睛和一头黑色的头发，还有一个美妙的微笑。沙尼家族古老而富有，巴黎的许多姑娘都爱上了这位年轻的子爵。但拉乌尔对他们不感兴趣。他对他弟弟也笑了笑。“我能说什么呢?”克里斯汀是个天使，仅此而已。今晚我要去她的化妆室看她。”菲利普笑了。他比劳尔大20岁，更像父亲而不是兄弟。“啊，我明白了。”他说:“你恋爱了!但这是你在巴黎的第一个晚上，你第一次去歌剧院。你是怎么认识克丽斯汀·达埃的?”“你还记得四年前，我在布列塔尼的海边度假吗?”拉乌尔说:“嗯，我在那里遇到了克里斯汀。那时我就爱上了她，直到今天我还爱着她!”沙尼伯爵看了看他哥哥。“嗯，我明白了。”他慢慢地说。“好吧，拉乌尔，记住她只是一个歌剧演员。我们对家庭一无所知。”但拉乌尔不听。对他来说，好的家庭并不重要，年轻人从不听哥哥的话。那天晚上克丽斯廷·达埃的化妆室里有很多人。但是克丽斯廷身边有一位医生，她美丽的脸显得苍白而病态。拉乌尔迅速穿过房间，拉起她的手。“克里斯汀!怎么了?你病了吗?”他倒在她椅子旁边的地板上。“你不记得我了吗?布列塔尼的拉乌尔·德·查尼?克里斯汀看着他，她的蓝眼睛里充满了恐惧。她把手拿开。“不，我不认识你。请走开。我还没太落伍。”拉乌尔站了起来，脸涨得通红。他还没来得及说话，医生就飞快地说。“是的，是的，请走开。大家请离开房间。达埃小姐需要安静。她很累了。”他走到门口，很快大家都离开了房间。克丽斯廷·达埃一个人在她的化妆室里。在外面的通道里，年轻的子爵又气又恼。克里斯汀怎么能忘记他呢?你怎么能这样对他说?他等了几分钟，然后非常安静、小心地走回她的化妆室门口。但他没有开门，因为就在这时，他听到房间里有一个男人的声音!“克丽斯廷，你一定爱我!”那声音说。然后拉乌尔听到了克丽斯廷的声音。“你怎么能这样说话?”当我只为你而唱?今晚，我把一切都给了你。现在我太累了。”她的声音里充满了不高兴和恐惧。“你听起来像个天使，”那人的声音说。拉乌尔走开了。这就是答案!克丽斯廷·达埃有个情人。可是为什么她的声音这么不高兴呢?他在她房间附近的阴影里等着。他想见见她的情人——他的敌人!大约十分钟后，克里斯汀从她的房间里出来，独自一人，沿着走廊走了。拉乌尔等着，但没有人出来追她。走廊里一个人也没有，所以拉乌尔迅速走到更衣室门口，打开门走了进去。他轻轻地关上身后的门，然后喊道:你在哪里?我知道你在这里!出来!”没有人回答。拉乌尔到处找——椅子底下，所有衣服后面，房间里所有黑暗的角落。那里一个人也没有。

The Phantom of the Opera by Jennifer Basset原文Chapter 2: The directors of the Opera HouseThe Opera House was famous, and the directors of the Opera House were very important men.It was the first week of work for the two new directors.Mr. Armand Moncharmin and Mr. Firmin Richard.In the director's office the next day, the two men talked about Joseph Buquet."It was an accident," Mr. Armand said angrily. "Or Bouquet killed himself.""An accident? .…… killed himself?"Mr. Firmin said."Which story do you want, my friend? Or do you want the story of the ghost?""Don't talk tome about ghosts!" Mr. Arrmand said."We have 1500 people working for us in this Opera House and everybody is talking about the ghost. They are all mad! I don't want to hear about the ghost. Okay? "Mr. Firmin looked at a letter on the table next to him."And what are we going to do about this letter, Armand?"."Do?",cried Mr. Arrmand."Why, do nothing,of course! What can we do?"The two men read the letter again.It wasn't very long.To the new directors.Because you are new in the Opera House, I am writing to tell you some important things. Never sell tickets for Box 5. That is my box for every Opera night.Madame Giry, the doorkeeper, knows all about it. Also, I need money for my work in the Opera House.I am not expensive, and I am happy to take only 20,000 francs a month. That is all. But please remember, I can be a good friend, but a bad enemy. OG."Don't sell tickets for Box 5! 20,000 francs a month!"Mr. Armand was very angry again."That's the best box in the Opera House, and we need the money, Firmin! And who is this O.G.,eh? Tell me that!""Opera ghost,of course," Mr. Firmin said."But you're right, Armand. We can do nothing about this letter. It's a joke, a bad joke. Somebody thinks we are fools, because we are new here. That are no ghosts in the Opera House!"The two men then talked about the opera for that night.It was Faust, and usually La Carlotta of sang Margarita. La Carlotta was Spanish, and the best singer in Paris.But today, La Carlotta was ill."Everybody in Paris is going to be at the opera tonight," said Mr. Armand, "and our best singer is ill. Suddenly! She writes a letter to us just this morning, she is ill, she cannot sing tonight!""Don't get angry again, Armand," Mr. Firmin said quickly. "We have Christine Daae, that young singer from Norway. She can sing Margarita tonight. She has a good voice.""But she's so young., and nobody knows her! Nobody wants to listen to a news singer.""Wait and see.Perhaps Daae can sing better than La Carlotta. Who knows?"翻译第二章:歌剧院的主管们歌剧院很有名，歌剧院的主管们都是非常重要的人物。这是两位新主任工作的第一周。阿曼德·蒙查曼先生和菲尔曼·理查德先生。第二天，在主任的办公室里，两个人谈到了约瑟夫·比凯。“这是个意外，”阿尔芒生气地说。“或者是波格自杀了。”“意外?.......自杀了?”菲尔曼说。“你想听哪个故事，我的朋友?还是你想听鬼的故事?”“别跟我谈鬼!”阿尔芒说。“我们有1500人在歌剧院为我们工作，每个人都在谈论鬼魂。他们都疯了!我不想听鬼的事。没事吧?”菲尔曼先生看了看旁边桌子上的一封信。“阿尔芒，这封信怎么办呢?”“怎么办?”阿尔芒先生叫道。“当然，什么也不做!”我们能做什么呢?”那两个人又读了一遍信。它不是很长。致新任主管。因为你是歌剧院的新人，所以我写信告诉你一些重要的事情。不要卖5号包厢的票。那是我每个歌剧之夜的包厢。守门人吉丽夫人知道这一切。还有，我需要钱在歌剧院工作。我并不贵，一个月只拿两万法郎我就心满意足了。就这些。但请记住，我可以是一个好朋友，而不是一个坏敌人。o.g.“不要卖5号包厢的票!”一个月两万法郎!”阿尔芒先生又生气了。“那是歌剧院最好的包厢，我们需要钱，菲尔曼!”这个o.g.是谁?快告诉我!”“当然是歌剧幽灵，”菲尔曼先生说。“您说得对，阿尔芒。我们对这封信无能为力。这是个玩笑，一个糟糕的玩笑。有人认为我们是傻瓜，因为我们是新来的。歌剧院里没有鬼!”然后这两个人谈论了那天晚上的歌剧。那是《浮士德》，通常是拉·卡洛塔唱的玛格丽塔。拉·卡洛塔是西班牙人，是巴黎最好的歌手。但今天，拉·卡洛塔病了。“今晚巴黎的每个人都要去看歌剧，”阿尔芒先生说，“我们最好的歌唱家病了。突然!她今天早上刚刚给我们写了一封信，她病了，今晚不能唱歌了!”“别再生气了，阿尔芒，”菲尔曼先生赶紧说。“我们有克里斯汀·达埃，那个来自挪威的年轻歌手。她今晚可以唱玛格丽塔。她有一副好嗓子。”“但她太年轻了。没有人认识她!没人想听一个新闻歌手的歌。”“等着瞧吧。也许达埃唱得比拉·卡洛塔好。谁知道呢?”

With the recent passing of Lucy Simon, playing the role of Lily Craven in "The Secret Garden" is both special and bittersweet for Sierra Boggess and the rest of the cast. Despite people telling her to switch to vocal performance, Sierra stayed as a musical theatre major so she can “graduate a triple threat.” She recalls how she got to do Phantom in Las Vegas which changed the trajectory of her career. She considers leaning into acting as the most important aspect no matter what you're doing and always considers her character's need at the moment to help her with how she's going to sing or dance. Being a part of "The Secret Garden" now playing at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, Sierra talks about the different messages of the show, her relationship with Lucy and how they're honoring her, and the contrast between working with adults and kids. She also gets real about her beliefs, her relationship with fans, knowing what your truth is and why you shouldn't let anyone take your love of performing away. Sierra Boggess is an Olivier-nominated actress who made her Broadway debut in 2007, originating the role of Ariel in "The Little Mermaid" wherein she received Drama Desk and Drama League nominations. She's also best known for her re-inventing the coveted role of Christine Daae in Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera". In fact, Lord Webber himself went on record to say that she's the best Christine. Her other stage credits include "It Shoulda Been You", "School of Rock", "Master Class", "Love, Loss, and What I Wore", and "Music in the Air". She also starred in London West End's "Les Miserables", and "Love Never Dies". Currently, Sierra is playing Lily Craven in "The Secret Garden" at Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theatre.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA COMPOSER: Andrew Lloyd Webber LYRICIST: Charles Hart BOOK: Richard Stilgoe and Andrew Lloyd Webber SOURCE: The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (1909) DIRECTOR: Hal Prince CHOREOGRAPHER: Gillian Lynne PRINCIPLE CAST: Steve Barton (Raoul), Sarah Brightman (Christine), Michael Crawford (The Phantom) OPENING DATE: January 26th, 1988 CLOSING DATE: Still Running as of this writing PERFORMANCES: +13,370 SYNOPSIS: Lurking deep in the bowels of the celebrated Paris Opera House lives a disfigured man, The Phantom, whose passion for soprano Christine Daae turns into a dangerous obsession.  The Phantom of the Opera held audiences captive since its Broadway premiere. The rock-infused score and traditional stage technology helped set a standard for British imports to the New York stage which would become mega-successful international sensations. Cast member Susan B. Russell introduces audiences to the corporate world of Phantom, as dictated by Sir Cameron Mackintosh, the producer, specifically creation under the confines of recreation and the effect this philosophy had on performers in a post-Phantom world, with a first hand account of how the corporation handled the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001.  Susan Russell is an Associate Professor in the School of Theatre at The Pennsylvania State University in State College, PA, where she teaches graduate and undergraduate literature/criticism, and Playwriting. She received her PhD in Theatre Studies from Florida State University's School of Theatre in 2007, her Master of Arts degree from Florida State University in 2003, and her BA in Theatre from St. Andrews Presbyterian College in Laurinburg, NC in 1979. She experienced a twenty-five-year career as a professional actor on and off-Broadway, and her plays have been produced by Emerging Artists Theatre, Lincoln Center, and Penn State University.

On today's episode of Cinemallennials, I talked with Will Pender, host of Now that's What I call a podcast about the silent horror classic, The Phantom of the Opera starring the Man of a Thousand Faces, Lon Chaney, and the original scream queen, Mary Philbin. Lon Chaney paved the way for all of our favorite grotesque but deeply human onscreen characters. Costumed and made up creatures like Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Apes from The Planet of the Apes, The Elephant Man, Jar Jar Binks, The Amphibian Man from The Shape of Water and one of my all-time favorites, Gollum/Sméagol could have never been realized if Lon Chaney and his makeup never appeared on screen. Based on Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel, The Phantom of the Opera follows the story of Christine Daae, a young singer who for years has been tutored by a kindly masked figure, known to her as Spirit of Music but known to everyone else as The Phantom of the Opera, a shadowy spirit that causes chaos when his musical sensibilities are disturbed by the Opera's owners.  Defied once more and thought to have been betrayed by his muse, our, sometimes recognized as an empathetic figure, the Phantom goes on a rampage claiming if he can't have Christine, no one can. So sit back, relax, and befriend the outcast. Cinemallennials is a podcast where myself and another millennial are introduced to a classic film for the very first time ranging from the birth of cinema to the 1960s. Myself and my guest will open your eyes to the vast landscape of classic film as we discuss the films' performers,  their performances, those behind the camera, and how they and their films still influence our world today.

   You want to know what having ten teeth extracted at once will do for you? It will make you long for your happy place, that's what it'll do for you. I've made no secret that I've had some pretty major dental issues and I've been transparent about it. Why hide it? It's part of who I am. And now, my dental issues have come to a head in a way that required drastic action. I had to get a denture plate for my top teeth. In the long run, it'll be a good thing. As a matter of fact, I'm already reaping the benefits because I now have an attractive smile, but the hours leading up to E-day were stressful.    What, exactly, is E-day? That's what I'm going to tell you about. I'm Michael Blackston. Strap yourself in if teeth-related stuff bothers you, because that's the town we're going to visit from my Funny Messy Life. _________________________    E-day for me was August 16, 2021. The “E” stands for “extraction”, so Extraction Day! … not a day in your calendar where you would expect to plan a cookout, or exchange gifts, or sing happy songs about the joys of getting cavities. Oh the rot in your mouth is frightfuuuullllll!    Oddly enough, I trust my dentist in the area of comfort to the point that I didn't feel a ton of trepidation about it. Maybe I just pushed the thought to the back of my mind with other topics like paying overdue taxes and asking forgiveness for buying another microphone without running it by my wife. Whatever the reason, I didn't think about it until it started getting closer to the day.    For one thing, I had already had to reschedule it once. I had made a plan with another dentist. I was still going to get the teeth extracted, but instead of a denture plate, I was going to go for the more expensive snap-in implant prosthetic plate. I told myself I was too young to have dentures, and I have a friend who got the snap-ins and loves them. Being a performer, I was concerned that I might be in the middle of an awesome rendition of Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera and my teeth would fly out of my mouth unexpectedly, poking Christine Daae in the eye, and sliding down her face cartoon-like in a trail of spit and Cheezit crumbs from the snack I'd had right before the show.   Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for my wallet, when I went to the dentist the Friday before my first scheduled E-day to pay for everything early so I didn't have to worry about that with a numb mouth dripping spit, and blood, and Cheezit crumbs from the snack I'd had just before the appointment, I found out that particular dental office was being run by drunk monkeys. They didn't have anything together, so I told them to forget it. I'd go somewhere else.    After talking to several people who wore regular dentures, and being assured of the quality of suction available nowadays, not to mention the expense if half that of the snap-ins, I became convinced that a regular denture plate was the way to go. So I made an appointment with a former dentist I trusted.    I mention all of that to say that I was just ready to get it done, and that might have contributed to my peace before going in.    As the days drew nigh, though, the reality of what I was about to have done began to hit me. Snap-ins or not, it didn't matter. Either way, those teeth had to come out.    People asked me a lot of questions the closer I got to E-day ...      They gon' put you to sleep?    No. They said they'd give me gas, but to put me to sleep would be more expensive and was something I'd have to have done elsewhere. It was too many steps.    Won't insurance cover that?    I don't know. I don't have insurance because a self-employed man with dental insurance is rare. Dental insurance for a self-employed person requires $30,000 a month and selling your soul to Satan.    So they ain't gon' put you to sleep for that?    See my answer to the first time you asked me that. And by the way, this line of questioning isn't making me feel any better about it.    Can I have one of them Cheezits?      As it turned out, I didn't even get gas. They didn't offer it, and by the time they got through sticking me eighty times in the gums with a needle, I was numb enough that I didn't figure I needed it.    As the days wound toward August 16th, I started to think more about it.    On the Sunday before it, had I not been singing on the Praise Team at church, I would have knelt down at the front and bathed in a little of that sweet altar juju. I spent the rest of that Sunday afternoon getting the requisite well wishes and folks telling mew they'd be praying for me. One theatre friend told me to Break a leg!    Then it was night. The sun went behind the horizon and things began to take on that eerie feeling. It's like watching a scary movie at noon and thinking, there's nothing to it, then trying to go to bed later that night and hearing every crack and shift of the old wood that holds up the house.    I started to realize what having ten extractions actually meant. Having ten tooth extractions at once means that someone is about to extract ten teeth out of your face at once, but it's more than that. They're going to then send you home with a hundred pounds of gauze because that's how much it's going to take to soak up everything that tends to ooze from ten gum holes where teeth used to be.    What's wrong, honey?    Kayla realized I was crying.    I can't do it. I can't go through with it.   Yes you can. It'll be over before you know it and I'll be there with you.    It's all gonna ooze … I don't wanna ooze!    Go to your happy place.    That was a good idea. I should go to my happy place in my mind where I could at least fall asleep among the things that I love.    And I did. I love Christmas. Christmas is my happy place. Disney World is also my happy place, but there are too many characters walking around there sporting big, perfect teeth. I didn't want anything to send my mind back in that direction any sooner than necessary. So, I chose Christmas as I drifted off to sleep and dreamed ……    Silver bells … manger scenes … lights, and laughter, and family, and …..   Twas The Night Before Dentist   Twas the night before dentist and all through my mouth Not a tooth understood what my nerves were about Preparations were made at the surgeon's with care And tomorrow, first light, I'd lay back in the chair   The children were wrestled and sent to their beds While visions of toothless me rent through their heads And mama with her phone out and me in a mask Had just settled in before morning's bleak task   When into my slumber, my mind took control And sprang into fantastic story time mode At once, I was partying, quite happy to go To the dentist and loose my teeth, row after row   The celebrants danced and they played in the sun As a farewell - a send off - to the unfortunate one “It's me!” I proclaimed with a face full of cake Why this hullabaloo? It feels more like a wake   When what to my curious eyes should be brought But a fistful of strings, their attachments aloft “It's your ride to the dentist!” said my Mother with cheer Offering me the large present of helium gear   I took them suspiciously, and questioned as why I should not go by car, but instead I should fly “‘Cause BALLOONS!” She responded, then bounded away  With agility not in her wheel house today   She left me there standing with strings in my hand And bright rubber orbs floating high o'er the land The party continued as I took my flight Hovering just a few feet, for my weight is not light   As I drifted off townward, they waved their goodbyes And I set my eyes downward for my journey was nigh First I sailed out of course and got stuck in a tree While the guests from my party stood pointing at me   Away to adventure, I corrected my course For awaiting were dentures and a pie hole of sores Now needle, now mouthwash, now suction, now spit On face mask for gas, so I'll not give one … care   Through the town toward my destiny as onward I flew When suddenly a carnival appeared out of the blue Now the tree I'd encountered had popped some balloons  So my flight was more labored than first I'd assumed   Yet alas, what came bumbling amid all the sass Of the carnival atmosphere now come to pass But a filthy, drunk clown, stumbling toward me and he Held a crop of balloons, which then filled me with glee   “I say, my good clown, might I buy them from you At a dollar apiece?” But he said, “That won't do. You may not! They are mine!”, quoth the clown with a heave And my dream jumped ahead once he'd taken his leave   What to do? What to do? I shall linger all day And be late to the dentist. “Oh, I hate clowns!”, I say But just as this freak show appeared from nowhere In an instant it disappeared into thin air   What was left was the sound of a siren ablast But no sign of confusion my mind had amassed It was time to wake up, and the sound? My alarm For the hour had come to, in truth, face the storm   I was oddly at peace as my wife drove me there With no hint of balloons, or drunk clowns, or the fair So I now have no teeth at the top of my mouth Only sore, bloody holes and some pain meds to tout   And oh yes, there's the denture I'm getting used to You can probably tell by the "esh" shounds I do But you'll hear me exclaim, ere I end this tonight There just isn't much pain, and I'm speaking alright

Christine Daae's wardrobe in the ALW musical is iconic. This week, I thought it might be fun to give my personal ranking of her costumes!

Rachel Moore is no stranger to musical theater. She has spent years working in musical theater icon, Andrew Lloyd Webber's productions of both Phantom of the Opera and Love Never Dies. Moore got her first glimpse of the show in Germany where she got the chance to perform as Christine Daae as well as cover a few other roles. She even travelled the country as Daae on the Love Never Dies National Tour. Prior to the pandemic, Rachel made her Broadway debut as a Carlotta alternate in the longest running musical theater production on Broadway. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jayme-starr/support

This time on Paper Cuts, we dive into a childhood favorite of mine, The Phantom of the Opera! You'll have to forgive some of my pronunciations here, French isn't exactly a language I'm abundantly familiar with, so I stumble on some of the personal titles in particular. Still, the story of Christine Daae, Carlotta, Raoul de Chagny, and the Phantom himself haunting the Paris Opera House stuck to me in a major way as a child, or at least the telling of it from the 2004 movie did! Admittedly, there's some elements of the book that are a little darker than the usual fare here, so do keep that in mind! You can find the text (to follow along with) here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/175 We go live each week with a new, live episode of the show on Fridays, over on https://www.twitch.tv/glacier_nester (or at least, we will when all 60 existing episodes go up!)

Hailed by the New York Times for her “attractive soprano voice,” and for having “total control of the stage,” (Broadway World) coloratura soprano Meghan Picerno currently stars as Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. In 2017 Meghan collaborated with legendary director Hal Prince as Cunegonde in his production of Candide at the New York City Opera. She quickly became one of the most sought-after Cunegondes in the world and reprised the role at San Francisco Symphony, Princeton Symphony, and the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona. Meghan next took on the role of Christine Daae in the US Premiere and 1st National Tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Love Never Dies. She has represented Andrew Looyd Webber’s body of work by special invitation in performances on the ITV Television broadcast of the Classic BRIT Awards in 2018, making her Royal Albert Hall debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and a guest appearance on the Live at Chelsea Concert Series honoring his 70th birthday.

This past fall she made her Broadway debut as leading lady, Christine Daae, in The Phantom of the Opera, and was hailed as one the Top Broadway replacements of 2019 by BroadwayBox. Like many people during COVID-19, Meghan is back home spending time with her parents. In this episode she shares how she dealt with the initial blow when Broadway was shut down - finding herself in a bit of an identity crisis not being able perform and sing, the one she thing she loves more than anything else in the world. She talks candidly about coming out the other side, and feeling now like she is awake again - “it’s kind of magical,” she shares. Meghan also takes us on the whirlwind journey that began by meeting Hal Prince and landing a leading role in Candide, to touring with Love Never Dies and Phantom of the Opera as Christine, to making her Broadway debut in The Phantom of the Opera this past fall. Until the curtains on Broadway rise again, she is finding time to give back and help people, “one part of theater” she really loves, by hosting workshops, master classes, and private voice lessons, and getting inspired by her students. In this episode, we talk about: Adapting to the new virtual normal as a performer  Music as an emotional outlet  The plans she has for her future  Working for Renee Fleming in grad school Her time living and studying in Vienna, Austria  Competing in Plácido Domingo's Operalia, The World Opera Competition Working with Hal Prince, and Andrew Lloyd Webber Connect with Meghan: IG: @meghanpicerno On the web: https://www.meghanpicerno.com Connect with The Theatre Podcast: Support us on Patreon: Patreon.com/TheTheatrePodcast Twitter & Instagram: @theatre_podcast Facebook.com/OfficialTheatrePodcast TheTheatrePodcast.com Alan's personal Instagram: @alanseales Email me at feedback@thetheatrepodcast.com.

A masterly mix of romance, drama, mystery, suspense, love and jealousy, The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux will haunt you long after you've turned the last page. Today the world knows it by Andrew Lloyd-Webber's long running musical on stage and its 2004 film adaptation, and earlier from Lon Chaney's screen portrayal of the dark intruder who roams the Paris Opera House. However, Gaston Leroux's novel was first released as a serial in the French magazine, La Gaulois over four months in 1909-10. Gaston Leroux, himself led an extremely colorful life. Born into an immensely wealthy family, he had to abandon his early dreams of becoming a writer and began studying law. As a student, he inherited millions of francs on the death of his father and embarked on a debauched life which culminated in bankruptcy. Leroux then went to work as a journalist. He covered crime and theater and traveled extensively. He was almost forty when he took up writing as a full time profession. Detective fiction, plays, novels and tales of mystery were his forte. The Phantom of the Opera was translated from the original French by Alexander de Mattos. A tale of fatal obsession, it owes its inspiration to classic fairytales like The Beauty and The Beast, where physical ugliness leads a person to seek anonymity. Erik is a young man, tormented by his physical deformity. He runs away from home as a child and hides his hideous visage in the vast cellars of the Paris Opera House. As he grows, so does his knowledge of music. He falls in love with a young singer, Christine Daae, whom he lures into his lair with his angelic singing. This fatal attraction takes a tragic turn as Christine and her fiancé Raoul are caught in a web of horror and deceit. As a classic Gothic novel, The Phantom of the Opera is matchless in the atmosphere of mystery and evil that it evokes. However, it is also a story of human tragedy and the cruelty we practice on those who look different. The novel is structured in a very interesting way—it's in the form of bits of information available from journal entries, police reports, interviews alternating with first person accounts. A great read for music lovers, mystery fans and Gothic romance enthusiasts!

However, Gaston Leroux's novel was first released as a serial in the French magazine, La Gaulois over four months in 1909-10. Gaston Leroux, himself led an extremely colorful life. Born into an immensely wealthy family, he had to abandon his early dreams of becoming a writer and began studying law. As a student, he inherited millions of francs on the death of his father and embarked on a debauched life which culminated in bankruptcy. Leroux then went to work as a journalist. He covered crime and theater and traveled extensively. He was almost forty when he took up writing as a full time profession. Detective fiction, plays, novels and tales of mystery were his forte. The Phantom of the Opera was translated from the original French by Alexander de Mattos. A tale of fatal obsession, it owes its inspiration to classic fairytales like The Beauty and The Beast, where physical ugliness leads a person to seek anonymity. Erik is a young man, tormented by his physical deformity. He runs away from home as a child and hides his hideous visage in the vast cellars of the Paris Opera House. As he grows, so does his knowledge of music. He falls in love with a young singer, Christine Daae, whom he lures into his lair with his angelic singing. This fatal attraction takes a tragic turn as Christine and her fiancé Raoul are caught in a web of horror and deceit. As a classic Gothic novel, The Phantom of the Opera is matchless in the atmosphere of mystery and evil that it evokes. However, it is also a story of human tragedy and the cruelty we practice on those who look different. The novel is structured in a very interesting way—it's in the form of bits of information available from journal entries, police reports, interviews alternating with first person accounts. A great read for music lovers, mystery fans and Gothic romance enthusiasts!

Maggie graduated from Texas State with a BFA in Musical Theatre just two years ago and has been pounding the NYC pavement ever since. In today's episode she talks about how she holds herself back sometimes from being her best in the audition room and in pursuing this career. She also opens up about what keeps her going and how theater has truly changed her life, enjoying every step of it along the way. She studied for ten years at Paper Mill Playhouse Summer Theatre Conservatory under the leadership of Mark Hoebee and Patrick Parker. There she was nominated for a Paper Mill Rising Star Award two years in a row for her performances as Lucy in Jekyll & Hyde and Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes.  Regionally she appeared as Aquata (u/s Ariel) in The Little Mermaid and understudied Christine Daae in Phantom, both at the Fireside Theatre. Also, she struck "the perfect balance of sarcasm, selfishness and underlying heart" (BroadwayWorld) as Lucy Van Pelt in The World According to Snoopy at Theatre Under The Stars choreographed by Adam Cates. Broadway legend and Tony-nominated Terrence Mann directed her in Les Miserables at Connecticut Repertory Theatre, and he also starred in a production of Peter Pan alongside Maggie, who played Wendy.

Phantom of the Opera is an operatic macabre musical centered on a Phantom and his object of utter adoration, the singer Christine Daae. I encourage even those who have seen a live performance to listen to the soundtrack, especially if they can't understand what opera singers say, like me.    P.S. This episode was done in a time crunch, apologies if it did not cover something important! ♡

Who better to teach us how to unmask what matters in our own lives than the Broadway star who played Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera? Sandra Joseph, the longest running Christine in the longest running Broadway play, has just released her book on Phantom's 30th birthday: Unmasking What Matters: 10 Life Lessons from 10 Years on Broadway. Her life unrolled like a fairytale: from too shy to sing in an elementary school performance to starring in a Broadway show and marrying the lead (a man who played the Phantom) - how romantic is that? But, when she finally stepped off the stage, she was confronted by the death of her beloved father and her own medical crisis, a brainstem tumor. These challenges caused her to 'unmask what matters' for herself and realize that she wanted to use her voice to inspire audiences in a new way. She's now on a mission to empower other people's voices through her work as an author, speaker and thought leader.

When Sierra Boggess made her Broadway debut in 2008 in the title role of the hit Disney musical 'The Little Mermaid,' she became an overnight not just star, but also idol, role model, sensation even in a way that happens so rarely to person appearing on a Broadway stage for the first time. She, of course, went on to star in the Broadway revival of 'Master Class opposite' Tyne Daily and as Christine Daae in London’s West End production of 'Love Never Dies,' Andrew Lloyd Webber’s sequel to the Phantom of the Opera. I first got to witness the greatness that is Sierra Boggess on stage in last season’s 'It Shoulda Been You'—a show that I found to be so special for a variety of reasons that we’ll get into in this interview. She is currently starring as Rosalee Mullins, the sort of tight lipped, rulsey principal in the brand new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical 'School of Rock'—a show that frequent listeners know that I am completely obsessed with. I love this interview for a lot of reasons. Not the lease of which being that we did the interview in Sierra’s dressing room about 90 minutes prior to an evening performance and I think it really captures the bustle and energy of the backstage of a Broadway theater just before showtime. At one point we’re interrupted—good naturedly—by a stage manager, The charming Alex Brightman makes a small cameo, oh and then there was the moment Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber himself spoke over the PA system. Anyway, Sierra is a force of nature and just as brilliant as you imagine she is. It was so much fun to chat with here. Enjoy our conversation!

Today, I am excited and honored to welcome the amazing Miss Sandra Joseph. For nearly a decade, Sandra played Christine Daae, the lead role in The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, and has since became a speaker, author and workshop facilitator. Sandra co-authored the book Your Creative Soul: Expressing Your Authentic Voice with Caroline Myss, the woman who inspired her to start her new career after leaving Broadway. Do not miss Sandra’s inspiring story and her amazing tips to you find your voice to change up your game and have you reaching for your goals.  You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: http://bit.ly/1tosgNc
