Script of Phantom of the Opera
SCENE 1
NARRATION..
SCENE 1.1
CARLOTTA (NIEVARES)
Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye. Remember me once in a while - please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long to take your heart . . .

(As CARLOTTA((NIEVARES)) is singing a backdrop crashes to the floor cutting her off from half the cast)
MEG/BALLET GIRLS/CHORUS
He's here: the Phantom of the Opera . . .
He is with us . . .
It's the ghost . . .

PIANGI (CHICO) (looking up, furiously)
You idiots!

(He rushes over to CARLOTTA((NIEVARES)
Cara! Cara! Are you hurt?

LEFEVRE (GACIAS)
Signora! Are you all right? Buquet!
Where is Buquet ?

PIANGI (CHICO)
Is no one concerned for our prima donna?

LEFEVRE(GACIAS)
Get that man down here !
(to ANDRE(AGUSTIN) and FIRMIN)
Chief of the flies. He's responsible for this.

(The drop is raised high enough to reveal upstage an old stagehand, JOSEPH BUQUET(JOSON), holding a length of rope, which looks almost like a noose)

LEFEVRE(GACIAS)
Buquet! For God's sake, man, what's going on up there?

BUQUET (JOSON)
Please monsieur don't look at me: as God's my witness,
I was not at my post.
Please monsieur there's no one there: and if there is, well then, it must be a ghost . . .

MEG(CARREON) (looking up)
He's there; the Phantom of the Opera ...

ANDRE (AGUSTIN)
Good heavens!
Will you show a little courtesy?

FIRMIN (PINEDA) (to MEG(CARREON) and the OTHERS)
Mademoiselle, please!

ANDRE(AGUSTIN) (to CARLOTTA)
These things do happen.

CARLOTTA ((NIEVARES))
Si! These things do happen! Well, until you stop these things happening, this thing does not happen!

Ubaldo! Andiamo!
(PIANGI (CHICO) dutifully fetches her furs from the wings)

PIANGI (CHICO)
Amateurs !

LEFEVRE(GACIAS)
I don't think there's much more to assist you, gentlemen. Good luck. If you need me, I shall be in
Frankfurt .

(He leaves. The COMPANY looks anxiously at the NEW
MANAGERS)

    17th Century Venetian Opera

    Between 1637 and 1678, in nine different theaters, Venetian audiences saw more than 150 operas. The creation of public opera houses sparked the interest of the people of the time because of social and philosophical changes that were happening in the Republican state of Venice. Opera was not only interesting to the elite. It had now made its way to a public audience. The primary audience was the crowd of Venetians and tourists that came for the carnival season in Venice. Opera succeeded as a public art form for many reasons: because of its exquisite musicality, it was highly successful and it became a way to produce revenue. Ellen Rosand says that three conditions existed for opera to be a permanent establishment in the Venetian culture: there was regular demand during the carnival season, dependable financial backing, and a broad predictable audience. An important group involved with the financial backing and librettos written for the opera houses were the Accademia degli Incogniti, translating to “The Academy of Unknowns”.…

    shakespears hamlet notes

    Hamlet claims “there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so”, his delay or inaction is a central and ambiguous concern throughout the play. This key theme becomes prevalent in his soliloquies. The soliloquies are a dramatic technique, which provides an insight into the characters frame of mind, in this case giving reasons for Hamlet’s delay. The “O what a rogue and peasant slave am I” and “How all occasions do inform against me” soliloquies highlight the ways in which cowardice can prevent action. Hamlet reproaches himself for his apparent weakness and lack of action claiming that he has “but one part wisdom and ever three parts coward.” However the notion of Hamlet’s cowardice, made famous by G. Wilson Night who claims Hamlet is a “sick soul” who “infects the state”, is questionable. Hamlet shows considerable courage: when first informed of the ghosts existence he claims that he will “speak to it though hell itself should gape”, this courage also re emerges when Hamlet calmly confronts Laertes, his existential questions “to be or not to be” turns into the accepting “Let be”. Additional theories relative to the cause of Hamlet’s inaction include an attempt to prevent contamination: his delay results from an attempt to convert the Ghost’s injunction into action without being stained by the corruption of Denmark. Coleridge also approaches the notion of Hamlet’s delay stating that Hamlet knows what is expected of him, but he is constitutionally averse to action, his energy evaporates in self-reproach- “Hence great, enormous, intellectual activity, and a consequent proportionate aversion to real action.” The 1948, Laurence Olivier film echoes this statement, it’s opening title stating “This is the tragedy of a man who could not make up his mind”. This sentiment however is not supported in the text. Hamlet shows that he is capable of making up his mind, often in rash and unthinking ways, such as the murders of Polonius, Rosencrantz and…

    Compare and Contrast: Play and Movie

    One of the most famous plays ever to hit Broadway, “The Phantom of the Opera” written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, is a classic that no one can deny to be amazing. Its brilliant plot of a distorted musical genius that haunts an opera house in Paris and unconsciously helps a beautiful woman with her singing career and falls in love with her can seize anyone who watches it. Also, the dazzling music and setting launch the audience back into the time in which this incredible play takes place. But now a new version of this wonderful play has been created in the form of a movie that gives it a bit more spunk and pulls the audience, even more, into a grueling love triangle between a beautiful young actress and two men who would fight to the death for her affection.…

    Blood Red Monologue

    I end off on an erotic pole twirl and walk off the scintillating stage to the dressing room. As I enter the room containing the killed hopes of women, Bill says “Good performance but could you put more of yourself into it”. Bill’s comment seemed to go straight through me since my mind was occupied on the strange man. I make my way to the mirror to remove the mask which hides my true self. As I begin to wipe away the red lipstick I begin to see the broken girl within but ignore her cry for help. Rapidly I begin to pack my things and make my way to the bus stop. As I sit on the icy, cement bench a muscular figure begins to walk up, my extinct tells me to walk away but my heart tells me to remain. As the figure gets closer I realise it’s the strange man, His husky voice stating “This is a gift from Rico, he wants payment on…

    How is othello presented in act 3 scene 3?

    Act 3 scene 3 is one of the most important scenes in the whole play and one of the most well known scenes in the world of theatre. In it, Iago speaks carefully and at length with Othello and plants the seeds of suspicion and jealousy, which eventually bring about the tragic events of the play. Ironically, it is Desdemona’s innocent attempt to reconcile Othello with Cassio that gives Iago the opportunity to get his revenge on Othello, thereby causing the murder and suicide that bring this tragedy to its violent conclusion.…

    Prologue Act 1 Scene 1 Romeo and Juliet

    In the Prologue of Act 1 Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses poetic devices to successfully outline the setting, and main plotline of the play. The prologue is delivered to the audience in the form of a sonnet. As the sonnet is a form of traditional love poem, the use of this style of poetry gives the reader/listener a basic understanding of the narrative’s themes prior to the extraction of meaning from the written/spoken words. Through this choice of poetic form, Shakespeare sets the framework for his ideas about love during the prologue and therefore during the play.…
