歌剧魅影
[编辑本段]概述
歌剧魅影(The Phantom of the Opera)是一部安德鲁·洛伊·韦伯(Andrew Lloyd Webber)作曲的百老汇音乐剧。又译做歌声魅影、剧院魅影或歌剧院的幽灵。原著:《歌剧幽灵》作者:加斯通·勒鲁1986年首演,于1988年获得七项托尼奖,是史上最成功的音乐剧之一。1986年伦敦的首演由麦克尔•克劳福德和莎拉•布莱特曼担任男女主角,至今全球已有16个制作版本
剧院魅影可以说是一部折射着后现代魅力的剧作,首先它成功的改编了盖斯东·勒鲁(Gaston Leroux,1868-1927)的原作小说,既保留了原作的风格又使之更适合舞台演出,提升了作品的可看性,其次,巧妙的戏中戏令观众徘徊于现实与虚幻之间。尤其是追逐幽灵的那一场戏,整个剧院,台上台下、四面八方响起了幽灵的声音,使观众置身其中,因为那句“我在这里”似乎就在他们的身边,就在隔壁的包厢,而那幕吊灯突然坠落的戏也着实令气氛紧张刺激到极点,前排观众的惊叫与台上演员的呼声连成一片,在这方面,舞台设计玛莉亚·布琼森自然功不可没。
在全剧中,一首“All I Ask of You”的旋律反复出现,罗尔与幽灵对这首歌的不同演绎表现了他们各自对于女主角克莉丝汀不同的爱情,最后这一主题在管弦乐中浮现,显示了爱情最终战胜了悲剧。
[编辑本段]剧情简介
序幕 故事开始在1905年,年迈的贵族Raoul Vicomte De Chagny正在巴黎歌剧院参加一场拍卖会。拍卖师拍到一个八音盒。在竞拍过程中,参与竞价的Giry夫人见Raoul想要这个八音盒,就放弃了。Raoul如愿得到了八音盒。随后,拍卖师又提到了下一个拍品:在著名的Phantom事件中摔得支离破碎的大吊灯(Chandelier)。为了让大家都能看清楚修复后的吊灯,拍卖师开启了吊灯上新安装的电灯,一时灯火通明,Phantom的主题音乐响起,舞台上的大吊灯也随之升起。
第一幕
舞台灯光恢复正常,而时间已经回到了30年前。那是巴黎歌剧院的舞台上,艺术总监Reyer先生正在帮助首席女高音Carlotta和首席男高音Piangi(Carlotta的情夫)排演歌剧Hannibal。而Giry夫人也正在指导伴唱伴舞的女孩子们进行练习。这时,即将退休的老经理带来了两位客人Firmin和Andre,他们两位即将接任歌剧院经理的位置。正当Carlotta在为两位新领导献上一首当晚准备演出的Think of Me时,突然从舞台天幕上掉下来的一块布景引起了骚乱,大家纷纷猜测这是歌剧院的幽灵(Phantom of the Opera)干的。Carlotta耍起小脾气不肯继续排练,并且离场声称不再参加歌剧院的演出。正在焦急的时候,年轻的伴舞演员Meg Giry(Giry太太的女儿)提出让她的同伴,也是伴舞的Christine试试看,并得到了Giry夫人的支持。结果,在排练场和当晚的演出中,Christine的歌喉征服了所有的人,包括当晚到场观看演出的年轻的贵族Raoul,他也是歌剧院的资助人。
回到后台,Meg问Christine是谁教会她这么美妙的歌喉,Christine却说不知道,并提起她去世了的父亲曾经提到过一个“音乐天使”(Angel of Music)会来保护并指导她。而她就是在自己的化妆间里经常听到一个神秘的声音来指引她练习,她觉得这就是那个天使。正在这时,Raoul专门来拜访了,原来Raoul认出了台上的Christine就是他儿时的同伴。Raoul准备邀请Christine共进晚餐,于是就出门去取放在外面的帽子。这时,房间里又出现了Phantom的声音。Phantom愤恨地责备Raoul企图引诱Christine离开音乐的王国。Christine被Phantom的声音震慑并迷惑,通过Phantom设置在穿衣镜上的机关,跟随Phantom走入暗道。等Raoul回到屋内,已经空无一人。
Phantom用歌声引诱Christine来到他居住的地下湖心的屋内。在这里,他继续用Music of the Night引诱Christine的心智以及表达自己的爱意。最后,Christine在看到Phantom做的穿戴婚纱的自己的蜡像后,在Phantom的美妙的歌声中晕厥过去。Phantom让Christine躺在床上休息,自己则埋头进行新的歌剧的创作。
第二天,Christine慢慢醒来,先发现了身边的一个小八音盒(就是Raoul后来拍得的那个),渐渐又回忆起昨晚是如何跟随Phantom下到这里的。好奇心驱使她壮胆趁Phantom不备而摘下了Phantom的面具。Phantom惊恐万状,恶毒地诅咒Christine的好奇心,说再也不会让Christine自由,转念又劝Christine不要害怕,相信随着对他的了解,恐惧终究会转成爱意。并告诉Christine他准备送她回去。
当Phantom通过他自己设计的暗门突然出现在后台时,正好碰到舞台工人Buquet在演示给剧院的女孩子们如何通过高举双手保护自己不被旁遮普套索套住。Buquet所言所行一切都被Phantom看在眼里。路过并目睹一切的Giry夫人警告Joseph不要把这件事情告诉任何人,否则将会遭致Phantom的可怕报复。
Phantom把Christine带走后,剧院里着实忙乱了起来。Firmin和Andre看着演出门票飞快地售出,心里又高兴又着急,高兴的是自己的业务不错,着急的是Carlotta使性子不肯来,Christine虽然出人意料地成功,但是又突然失踪。正在忙乱时,他们各自收到了写在信纸上署名O.G.的命令,要求赶快补发积欠他的工资,并且将Christine取代Carlotta成为剧院的首席女高音。他们正在猜测这会是哪个疯子的行为时,Raoul拿着他收到的一张字条也来质问他们Christine到底在哪儿,原来字条上威胁说如果谁想把Christine占为己有,就再也不要想看到她了。三人正琢磨着呢,Carlotta突然出现在剧院,出示了又一张写着威胁她不许阻拦Christine的锦绣前程的字条,并且不听解释指责Raoul在背后操纵一切,就是为了捧红Christine。正在乱的不可开交的时候,Giry夫人带着Meg前来告诉大家Christine已经回来,只是因为很疲惫所以谁也不能见,并且带来了一张字条,上面大意是:今晚演出的歌剧Il Muto必须由Christine来演主角伯爵夫人,Carlotta只能演一个不出声的传令仆从,而且剧院的5号包厢必须给Phantom空出,好让他象以往那样前来观赏。如果这些命令没有被遵守,一场无法预料的灾难将会降临到歌剧院的头上。
Carlotta自然无法接受这种安排,她歇斯底里地咒骂着,吓坏了两位经理,于是Firmin和Andre连忙用一曲Prima Donna来安慰Carlotta,总算让Carlotta安静了下来。而且Firmin不顾Giry夫人的劝阻,公开宣布Christine出演传令仆从,Carlotta出演主角伯爵夫人。神通广大的Phantom果然听到了,并且发誓要让他们知道自己的厉害。
当晚,演出开始了,为了帮助Firmin他们阻挠Phantom的计划,Raoul坐入5号包厢。Phantom被他们的轻蔑激怒了,先是将舞台上傲慢的Carlotta的嗓音变成了蛤蟆叫,导致演出的中断,后来又在芭蕾表演的时候把已经被旁遮普套索绞死的Buquet的尸体从舞台天幕上吊下来,引起了观众们的慌乱。Christine和Raoul趁着大家的惊慌,逃到了屋顶上。在那里,Christine向Raoul诉说了自己的遭遇,Raoul一面安慰她说这一切都是梦境,一面向Christine表示了埋藏已久的爱意,两人合唱了一曲All I Ask of You互表心意。然而这一切还是没有逃出躲藏在暗处的Phantom的监视。在Raoul和Christine相拥离开屋顶后,Phantom痛苦于Raoul对Christine的迷惑以及Christine的背叛,决定诅咒他们。在Il Muto演出结束演员谢幕时,剧院的大吊灯坠下砸在Christine跟前,毫无疑问,这就是Phantom的愤怒所示!
(第一幕完)
第二幕
幕间曲过后,舞台上出现的是戴着面具的Firmin和Andre,时间已经是继吊灯坠下后大概6个月了。已经是新的一年。期间,Phantom没有再来打扰任何人,新的吊灯也安装好了,于是人们在剧院里举办了一次化妆舞会(Masquerade)来庆祝这新的生活。已经秘密订婚的Christine和Raoul也在人群中携手共舞。虽然Raoul很希望公开这个秘密,但是Christine依然害怕Phantom会知道后威胁他们的生活,要求Raoul继续保密,并把Raoul给的订婚戒指串在项链上,而不是戴在手上。Raoul虽然不是心甘情愿,但也无可奈何。
正在欢乐进行到高潮的时候,突然出现一个戴着红色死神面具的客人,大家都被这奇异吓人的装束震住了。来者正是销声匿迹许久的Phantom。他带来了刚刚写就的一出歌剧《唐璜的胜利》(Don Juan Triumphant)要求剧院上演。并且,在再度消失前,他从Christine脖子上夺走那枚戒指,告诉她他还没有放弃她。
舞会不欢而散,Raoul见Giry夫人心事重重,就上前询问她是否知道Phantom的底细。Giry夫人在Raoul的苦苦劝说下,这才道出Phantom的来历。原来几年前,巴黎来过一个江湖马戏团,除了表演杂耍,他们还展出一些畸形人供大家娱乐,其中有一个被关在笼子里的怪脸人,却是一个知识渊博的建筑师,音乐家。后来,这个怪脸人逃出了笼子,大家遍寻不着,都以为他已经死在某个角落。而Giry夫人则清楚意识到,之后出现在歌剧院的Phantom,就是这个怪人。Raoul听到这一切,心中飘过一丝寒意,还想继续追问,但是Giry夫人已经不敢再说下去,他也只得作罢。
两位经理对着新的总谱一筹莫展,说实话,他们不想听从Phantom的命令,但是实在害怕再来一次以外。这时,他们又收到了Phantom发来的字条,上面对歌剧院的人事安排等做出了一系列的指示。接着,Carlotta和Piangi又闯了进来,大呼小叫,原来Phantom给Carlotta在戏中安排的是一个只有合唱的小配角角色。Carlotta无法接受,说这是对她的侮辱。Raoul带着Christine前来询问两位经理到底有无决断,是否让Christine出演主角。而Giry夫人又带着另一张字条匆匆赶来。Phantom在这张最后指示中声明他的要求必须都得到满足,否则,更大的灾难将会等着他们。大家一时没了主意
Raoul突然觉得这是一个很好的机会,便跟两位经理商议一切按照Phantom的意思办,但是另外他们将布置岗哨,诱捕Phantom。Giry夫人听了十分惊慌,极力劝说他们,但是三人不听,Christine虽然百般恳求他们不要让她陷于其中,但是经不起Raoul的规劝,遂答应了他。当然,Phantom也没有错过他们的谈话。
于是乎,一切都开始行动,Reyer先生开始给大家排练新的歌剧,在嘈杂的排练房里,正当人们忙碌而且紧张到了极点的时候,突然放置一旁的钢琴在没有人弹奏得情况下自己弹出了排练曲目。惊惶失措的Christine夺路逃出,来到了父亲的墓地前,向墓碑上的父亲塑像诉说着自己的忧虑和恐慌,希望能得到他的帮助。突然,Phantom又出现在了她面前。Phantom告诉她自己就是他父亲说的Angel of Music,就是来引导和保护她的。被过度惊吓的Christine再次被Phantom迷惑住。这时Raoul也闻讯赶到了墓地,并力劝Christine不要相信Phantom的话。Phantom企图挑逗Raoul上前跟他决斗,但是Raoul被Christine制止并一起逃离了墓地。Phantom愤怒之余,发誓要报复他们两个人。
地点回到剧院,Raoul和两位经理正在紧急安排警察布哨布岗,准备在《唐璜的胜利》的首演式上,在5号包厢抓住Phantom。不过这一切都没有逃过Phantom的耳目,Phantom的声音在剧院各个角落响起,嘲笑他们的狂妄,并且挑战他们说如果真想抓他,就尽快开演《唐璜的胜利》。Raoul也决定破釜沉舟,和Phantom做最后一次较量。
演出在合唱中开始了,按照剧情。Piangi扮演的Don Juan和其仆从为了设计引诱由Christine扮演的女主人公,进入舞台上的隔间换上仆从的服装。但是Phantom早已设计好了在隔间内用旁遮普套索吊死了Piangi,然后换上了剧情中的斗篷,遮住自己的脸,出来和Christine一起演唱了剧中一段优美的咏叹调The Point of No Return。演出中,Christine偶然触碰到了Phantom的面部,发现对方并不是Piangi,就掀开了斗篷,一时间大家被舞台上的突变吓住,而Raoul为了不伤害Christine,也阻止了士兵开枪。Phantom按捺不住内心的渴望,用柔和的嗓音,向Christine表明爱意,而Christine也勇敢地揭下了Phantom的面具,让观众们都看到了Phantom的扭曲的相貌。在一片惊呼声中,Phantom带上Christine,再次消失在众目睽睽之前,让Raoul精心布置的陷阱落了空。同时,舞台上的人们也发现了早已死在布景后面的Piangi。
Raoul一时没了主意,但是Giry夫人提醒他赶快跟着她去地下室,并嘱咐他一定要记住将胳臂举过头顶,以防Phantom再次使用旁遮普套索袭击他们。同时,几乎所有的人都出动,一边高喊抓住凶手,一边到处查找Phantom的踪影。
Phantom果然又带着Christine来到地下室,他正沉浸在小小获胜的喜悦中,突然又被远远传来的人们的叫喊声搅乱心情。他质问Christine,为什么这个世界会对他这么不公平,仅仅因为他长了一副令人可怕,连他的母亲都不忍正眼以对的面容。Christine告诉他,之所以觉得世界对他不公,不是世人的错误,而是因为他自己囚禁了自己的灵魂,并且与世人为敌,为了达到目的而不惜杀人或者夺取他人所爱。所以,她对他的感情,已经从同情转为憎恨,而没有丝毫的爱。
正在这时,Raoul已经赶到地下室,但是被阻隔在铁栏之外。他哀求Phantom可以对他做任何事,但是一定放过Christine。Phantom被他的打搅激怒,趁他不防,用旁遮普套索套住了Raoul,并且逼迫Christine做出选择:
1)要么用Raoul的生命换取她的自由;
2)或者披上Phantom准备的婚纱,换取Raoul的生命。尽管Raoul表示自己可以为爱牺牲生命而在所不惜,但是Christine不忍爱人的牺牲。她最终鼓起勇气,告诉Phantom,她将告诉他,爱的力量,会有多么强大,上帝终究会拯救Phantom的灵魂。然后,给了Phantom一个吻……
尾声
一个意味深长的吻,如同天上的造物主的光辉,照亮了Phantom的封闭的心灵。Phantom被Christine的坚定的爱的力量彻底折服。他松开了Raoul脖子上的旁遮普吊索,对Christine和Raoul挥了挥手,让他们赶快离开,并且不要再回来也不要跟旁人提起这里的一切。
Christine和Raoul相依走到门口,突然Christine回头跑到Phantom身边,将Phantom之前给她戴上的戒指摘下,还给Phantom。Phantom强捺悲哀,目送Christine离去。然后悲哀地唱出“It's over now, the music of the night--”,然后慢慢地走向舞台一角的王座。
正在此时,Meg带着众人也找到了地下室这里,在她们进到地下室之前,Phantom扬起黑斗蓬遮住自己,等Meg来到王座前揭开斗蓬,Phantom早已不知去向。王座上,只留下Phantom的一只面具。

[编辑本段]电影影评
《剧院魅影》,讲述了一个发生在1881年的巴黎的故事。一个卡西莫多似的苦命人游荡在巴黎歌剧院迷宫般的地下室中。年少的不幸让人们同情他的身世,但丑陋的面容更使人们对他恐惧与排斥,不知道他来了歌剧院多少年,但他安于成为人们心中的魔鬼,成为歌剧院的幽灵。 这幕歌剧,便是讲述这个剧院魅影的传奇故事。
一出悲喜剧
在这场歌剧中,有人只出现短短的一瞬,便消逝了。有的人却经历物是人非的变迁,依然健在。有的人咆哮命运的不公、向社会报复,有的人享受贵族的荣耀与幸福,安享生活。沉陷于爱情的泥沼,或者为爱疯狂。所有的一切,都发生在巴黎歌剧院的剧场内。这是一幕爱恨交织的悲喜剧。结局出人意料,却也是皆大欢喜。
一个关于爱的故事
什么是爱?谁能说得清道得白呢?两情相悦的幸福,背后总有自我牺牲的悲壮。包容是爱,宠溺是爱,暗恋是爱、依恋是爱、虐恋也是爱……我们每个人都深深的陷入爱的漩涡。期待着、享受着、回味着、追忆着爱。
剧院魅影,一个出生于贵族家庭的“象人”,面具是他来到这个世界以后穿的第一件衣裳。仅仅是因为他的容貌。他被光鲜的世界排斥了,没有尊宠、没有关爱。漂泊四方,在任何地方都成为别人猎奇的目标,甚至成为马戏团铁笼中的小丑。……
喜爱“魅影”这个角色,因为他虽然容貌丑陋,但这掩盖不住他那与生俱来的贵族气质,遮蔽不了他出众的才华,也无法抑止他对爱的追求。他爱克里斯汀,一个巴黎歌剧院里看上去默默无闻的舞者。“魅影”为她创作优美的音乐、华丽的歌剧、教导她歌唱、训练她的舞姿。帮助她成为一个令整个巴黎倾倒的女神。
“魅影”以为克里斯汀就是他的,或者说是因为他向她倾注了所有的热情。她代表了他所有的理性(对音乐的热爱)与非理性(对爱的痴狂)的追求。当克里斯汀与拉乌尔在巴黎歌剧院的楼顶海誓山盟的时候,魅影的心碎了。再次感到无依无靠、被抛弃。凄厉的呼喊响彻巴黎的夜空,却仍然无法改变命运的安排。
他并不想复仇,或者说,他也知道自己无力改变现实世界中的一切,所以他才会使用偷梁换柱的手法,杀死皮昂吉,把自己扮演成唐璜,成为他为克里斯汀创作的歌剧中的角色,在厚厚的披风下掩饰自己的面容,在警察遍布的巴黎歌剧院中,在舞台上与他心中的爱人上演这幕绝唱。希望在他自己创造的世界中,成为爱的主宰。
也许,他知道,在现实上演的悲喜剧中,他必须死。他带走了克里斯汀,然而,他真的是为了占有她、霸占她吗?未必。因为当克里斯汀不在乎他的容貌,给他深情的一吻时,他颤抖了。我甚至能感觉到那副“怪兽”似的脸上在流泪。这是一种幸福的感觉,一种常人难以体味的幸福。他并不残忍,也不缺同情心,他需要的是他人的尊重,所爱的人对他的尊重。
他可以放弃克里斯汀,让她与拉乌尔远走高飞。但希望看到克里斯汀的坦诚,看到拉乌尔的执着。当拉乌尔宁肯被吊死,也不愿放弃克里斯汀的时候,魅影明白了,这个看似柔弱的男人,拥有更大的勇气。对爱的追求,能给人和脆弱的人带来巨大的勇气。爱的力量能促使我们忘记一切恐惧、去争取。
也许我们可以说,魅影的残忍来自于他童年的不幸经历、来自于他自卑的人格。但我们又怎能评价一个人人格的优劣呢?每个人都是在一次次的伤害中成长。受到别人伤害的时候,往往也会伤害别人。
但我觉得,拉乌尔对克里斯汀的爱,更多的是一种对年少伙伴的梦幻般想象。或者说,歌剧在对他们两人爱情的刻画上多少显得有些单薄。让人感到只是一个灰姑娘遇见王子的梦幻。甚至让人以为,克里斯汀因为拉乌尔贵族的身份和财富才跟他在一起的。
而拉乌尔和克里斯汀后来怎样呢?无从得知。歌剧开始的拍卖会上,为什么只有拉乌尔一个人呢?克里斯汀呢?30年的时间已是沧海变桑田,但这个倾城的美丽女孩,是否已长眠地下了呢?更不知道她是否还记得那个拥有丑陋却极富才华的 魅影 。
一种令人心醉的美丽
华丽的服饰、精致的布景、变幻莫测的舞台,再加上专业的演员。使得这幕百老汇的歌剧显得如此美丽。从演出开始,巴黎歌剧院的拍卖会上展示第663件拍品的时候,就感觉自己仿佛来到了1911年的巴黎。昏暗的拍卖会现场、垂垂老矣的拉乌尔,落满灰尘的海报,有些机械失灵的铙钹,倾覆的吊灯,让人情不自禁的投入其中。
倏的一下时空倒转,30年前的巴黎歌剧院一片金碧辉煌。《汉尼拔》的排演,有些耍大牌的皮昂吉腆着肚子在演唱。灯光照得他将军的盔甲闪闪发亮。只有惊叹的份。……
当场景转移到歌剧院的地下湖时,干冰营造出梦幻般的效果。小舟在湖面穿行。魅影此时仿佛变成驾驶贡多拉的船工,引领着克里斯汀来到他的宫殿。
当拉乌尔与克里斯汀为了避开魅影,来到歌剧院楼顶的时候,背景墙上显现的是19世纪巴黎的迷人夜景。街巷里闪烁的烛光与满天繁星呼应。仿佛在星河中徘徊。
克里斯汀来到她父亲的墓前倾诉心声与困扰。魅影出现在十字架旁。深情的演唱,矛盾的心理,灰暗的服饰、苍白的面具,加上幽暗的十字架。让人也为他感到无限悲哀。
而当歌剧的最后,一个女孩来到曲折的地下室,发现魅影那件披风下的面具,拿起端详、定格的时候,忽然间感到时光流转。这感觉不亚于电影中的蒙太奇镜头。看到这个场面,我是第一次彻底折服于剧场演出的魅力。令人无法言表的感动,那是一种令人心醉的美丽。
第一次进上海大剧院看演出,深深的折服于歌剧的魅力。只能说,《剧院魅影》带给我的感觉,就是一段传奇,一出悲喜剧,一个关于爱的故事,一种令人心醉的美丽。
[编辑本段]全剧歌词
1.Think of me 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 back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me...
we've never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember,
stop and think of me...
think of all the things we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things which might have been...
think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me,
trying too hard to put you from my mind.
recall those days,
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you...
flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade
They have their seasons, so do we
But please promise me
That sometimes you will think of me spare a thought for me
we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you .
2.Mirror ( Angel Of Music )
PHANTOM
Insolent boy!
This slave of fashion,
basking in your glory!
Ignorant fool!
This brave young suitor,
sharing in my triumph!
CHRISTINE
Angel! I hear you!
Speak -
I listen ...
stay by my side, guide me!
Angel, my soul was weak -
forgive me ...
enter at last, Master!
PHANTOM
Flattering child, you shall know me,
see why in shadow I hide!
Look at you face in the mirror -
I am there inside!
CHRISTINE
Angel of Music!
Guide and guardian!
Grant to me your glory!
Angel of Music!
Hide no longer!
Come to me, strange angel ...
PHANTOM
I am your Angel of music
Come to me: Angel of Music ...
RAOUL
whose is that voice...?
Who is that in there...?
Christine! Christine!
PHANTOM
I am your Angel of Music ...
Come to me: Angel of Music ...
3.Phantom of the Opera
CHRISTINE
In sleep he sang to me,
in dreams he came ...
that voice which calls to me
and speaks my name ...
And do I dream again?
For now I find
the Phantom of the Opera is there -
inside my mind ...
PHANTOM
Sing once again with me
our strange duet ...
My power over you
grows stronger yet ...
And though you turn from me,
to glance behind,
the Phantom of the Opera is there -
inside your mind ...
CHRISTINE
Those who have seen your face
draw back in fear ...
I am the mask you wear ...
PHANTOM
It's me they hear ...
BOTH
Your/My spirit and your/my voice,
in one combined:
the Phantom of the Opera is there -
inside your/my mind ...
CHORUS
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera ...
Beware the Phantom of the Opera ...
括号里的是舞台版的:
(PHANTOM
In all your fantasies, you always knew that man and mystery ...
CHRISTINE
... were both in you ...
BOTH
And in this labyrinth, where night is blind, the Phantom of the Opera is there/here - inside your/my mind ... )
PHANTOM
Sing, my Angel of Music!
CHRISTINE
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera...
4.Music of the Night
PHANTOM
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation 深夜里,每一种感觉都在渐渐复苏
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination 黑暗唤醒并刺激着幻觉
Silently the senses abandon their defenses 无声中,所有感官放下了防备
Helpless to resist the notes I write 无法抗拒我笔下乐符的诱惑
For I compose the music of the night 因为我谱写了夜之歌
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor 慢慢地,轻轻地,夜展现出了它的华丽
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender 捕捉它,感觉它,细微却令人震撼
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving 听到的乐曲如此真实,但那音乐却似真似幻
Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight 烈如闪电,柔若烛光
Dare you trust the music of the night 无法至信的夜之歌
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth 闭上你的双眼,因为你的眼睛只会告诉你事实
And the truth isn't what you want to see 而事实却不是你所想要看见的
In the dark it is easy to pretend 在黑暗中,伪装是多么的容易
That the truth is what it ought to be 真理成为了臆想
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you 温柔地,轻巧地,音乐将会抚慰你
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you 聆听它,感觉它偷偷地控制了你
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind 敞开你的胸怀,让你的幻想得到释放
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight 在这你无法抗拒的黑暗中
The darkness of the music of the night 这夜之歌中黑色的魔力
Close your eyes, start a journey to a strange new world 闭上你的双眼,踏上向着一个新世界的旅程
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before 抛开你对于这个世界所有的思考
Close your eyes and let music set you free 闭上你的双眼,让音乐将你释放
Only then can you belong to me 唯有那样你才能属于我
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication 时而漂游,时而旋落,甜蜜的陶醉中
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation 抚摸我,相信我,享受每一种感觉
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in 让梦境开始,让你阴暗的一面退却
To the power of the music that I write 臣服于我的音乐脚下
The power of the music of the night 这夜之歌的魔力
You alone can make my song take flight 惟有你可以使我的歌声飞扬
Help me make the music of the night 帮助我写出这首夜之歌
5.Prima Donna

Sing, prima donna, once more!
ANDRE/FIRMIN
Surely there'll be further scenes -
worse than this!
RAOUL
I must see these demands are rejected!
ANDRE/FIRMIN
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!
RAOUL
His game is over!
GIRY
This is a game you cannot hope to win!
RAOUL
And in Box Five a new game will begin ...
GIRY
For, if his curse is on this opera ...
MEG
But if his curse is on this opera ...
ANDRE/FIRMIN
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!
6.All I Ask of You
RAOUL
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears,
I'm here, nothing can harm you -
my words will warm and clam you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears,
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you .
CHRISTINE
Say you love me every waking moment,
Turn my head with talk of summertime,
Say you need me with you,
now and always,
promise me that all you say is true -
that's all I ask of you ...
RAOUL
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you -
your fears are far behind you ...
CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night ...
and you, always besides me,
to hold me and to hide me ...
RAOUL
Then say you'll share with me one
love, one lifetime ...
let me lead you from your solitude ...
Say you need me with you here, beside you ...
anywhere you go, let me go too -
Christine,
that's all I ask of you ...
CHRISTINE
Say you'll share with me one
love, one lifetime ...
say the word and I will follow you ...
BOTH
Share each day with me, each
night, each morning ...
CHRISTINE
Say you love me ...
RAOUL
You know I do ...
BOTH
Love me -
that's all I ask of you ...
Anywhere you go let me go too ...
Love me -
that's all I ask of you ...

FIRMIN
Monsieur Andre?

CHORUS
Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade ...
Masquerade!
Hide your face, so the world will never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade..
Masquerade!
Look around -
there's another mask behind you!
Flash of mauve .. Splash of puce ...
Fool and king ... Ghoul and goose ...
Green and black ... Queen and priest ...
Trace and rouge ... Face of beast ...
Faces !...
Take you turn,
Take a ride on the merry-go-round ...
in an inhuman race ...
Eye of gold ... Thigh of blue ...
True is false ... Who is who ...?
Curl of lip ... Swirl of gown ...
Ace of hearts ... Face of clown ...
Faces ...
Drink it in, drink it up, till you've drowned
in the light ... in the sound ...
But who can name the face ...
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows, spinning reds ...
Masquerade!
Take your fill -
let the spectacle astound you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances, turning heads ...
Masquerade!
Stop and stare
at the sea of smiles around you!
Masquerade!
Seething shadows, breathing lies ...
Masquerade!
You can fool any friend who ever knew you!
Masquerade!
Leering satyrs, peering eyes ...
Masquerade!
Run and hide -
But a face will still pursue you!
GIRY
What a night!
MEG
What a crowd!
ANDRE
Makes you glad!
FIRMIN
Makes you proud!
All the creme de la creme!

To our friends who are here!
PIANGI/CARLOTTA
And may our splendor never fade!
FIRMIN/ANDRE
What a blessed release!
GIRY
And what a masquerade!
CHRISTINE
Think of it! A secret engagement!
Look - your future bride!
Just think of it!
RAOUL
But why is it secret?
What have we to hide?
You promised me
CHRISTINE
No, Raoul, please don’t. They’ll see
RAOUL
Let them see
It's an engagement, not a crime!
Christine, what are you afraid of!
CHRISTINE
Let's not argue ...
RAOUL
Let's not argue ...
CHRISTINE
Please pretend ...
RAOUL
I can only hope I'll ...
CHRISTINE
You will understand in time
RAOUL.
I will understand in time
ALL
Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade!
Masquerade!
Hide your face, so the world will never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade!

There's another mask behind you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances turning heads ...
Masquerade!
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you!
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows, spinning reds ...

8.Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
CHRISTINE
You were once my one companion ...
you were all that mattered ...
You were once a friend and father -
then my world was shattered ...
Wishing you were somehow here again ...
Wishing you were somehow near ...
Sometimes it seemed,
if I just dreamed,
somehow you would be here ...
Wishing I could hear your voice again ...
knowing that I never would ...
Dreaming of you won't help me to do
all that you dreamed I could ...
Passing bells
and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental,
seem, for you, the wrong companions -
you were warm and gentle ...
Too many years
fighting back tears ...
Why can't the past just die ...?
Wishing you were somehow here again ...
knowing we must say goodbye ...
Try to forgive ...
teach me to live ...
give me the strength to try ...
No more memories, no more silent tears ...
No more gazing across the wasted years ...
Help me say goodbye
Help me say goodbye
9.The Point of No Return
PHANTOM
Passarino - go away!
For the trap is set and waits for its prey!
You have come here in pursuit of
your deepest urge,
in pursuit of that wish,
which till now has been silent,
silent ...
I have brought you,
that our passions may fuse and merge -
in your mind you've already succumbed to me,
dropped all defenses,
completely succumbed to me -
now you are here with me:
no second thoughts, you've decided,
decided ...
Past the point of no return -
no backward glances:
Our games of make-believe are at an end ...
Past all thought of "if" or "when" -
no use resisting:
abandon thought, and let the dream descend ...
What raging fire shall flood the soul?
What rich desire unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction lies before us...?
Past the point of no return,
the final threshold -
what warm, unspoken secrets will we learn?
Beyond the point of no return ...
CHRISTINE
You have brought me to that moment
when words run dry,
to that moment when speech disappears into silence,
silence ...
I have come here,
hardly knowing the reason why ...
In my mind, I've already
imagined our bodies entwining, defenseless and silent -
and now I am here with you:
no second thoughts, I've decided,
decided ..
Past the point of no return -
no going back now:
our passion-play has now at last begun ...
Past all thought of right or wrong -
one final question:
how long should we two wait, before we're one...?
When will the blood begin to race,
the sleeping bud burst into bloom?
When will the flames, at last, consume us...?
BOTH
Past the point of no return,
the final threshold -
the bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn ...
We've passed the point of no return ...
PHANTOM
Say you'll share with me one
love, one lifetime ...
Lead me, save me from my solitude ...
Say you want me with you, here beside you ...
Anywhere you go let me go too -
Christine, that's all I ask of ...
10.Learn to be lonely (电影版片尾曲)
Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Ever dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you?
You've always known
Your heart was on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived
Life can be loved
Alone.
11.No One Would Listen (电影版中被剪掉的部分,诉出了魅影的心声)
No one would listen
No one but her
Heard as the outcast hears
Shamed into solitude
Shunned by the multitude
I learned to listen
In my dark, my heart heard music
I long to teach the world
Rise up and reach the world
No one would listen
I alone could hear the music
Then, at last, a voice in the gloom
Seemed to cry "I hear you"
I hear your fears
Your torment and your tears
She saw my loneliness
Shared in my emptiness
No one would listen
No one but her
Heard as the outcast hears
No one would listen
No one but her
Heard as the outcast hears...
Down once more/Track down this Murderer (其中有P,C,R三人合唱,经典)
PHANTOM:
Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair! Down we plunge to the prison of my mind! Down that path into darkness deep as hell! Why, you ask, was I bound and chained to this cold and dismal place? Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face!
MOB:
Track down this murderer! He must be found!
PHANTOM:
Hounded out by everyone! Met with hatred everywhere! No kind word from anyone! No compassion anywhere! Christine, Christine ...
Why, why ... ?
GIRY:
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
RAOUL:
... at the level of your eyes ...
MOB:
Your hand at the level of your eyes! Track down this murderer - He must be found! Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground! Too long he's preyed on us - but now we know: the Phantom of the Opera is there, deep down below ... He's here: the Phantom of the Opera ...
CHRISTINE:
Have you gorged yourself at last, in your lust for blood? Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?
PHANTOM:
That fate, which condemns me to wallow in blood has also denied me the joys of the flesh ... this face - the infection which poisons our love ... This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing ... A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing ... Pity comes too late - turn around and face your fate: An eternity of this before your eyes!
CHRISTINE:
This haunted face holds no horror for me now ... It's in your soul that the true distortion lies ...
PHANTOM:
Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest! Sir, this is indeed an unparalleled delight! I had rather hoped that you would come And now my wish comes true - You have truly made my night!
RAOUL:
Free her! Do what you like, only free her! Have you no pity?
PHANTOM:
Your lover makes a passionate plea!
CHRISTINE:
Please, Raoul, it's useless ...
RAOUL:
I love her! Does that mean nothing? I love her! Show some compassion ...
PHANTOM:
The world showed no compassion to me!
RAOUL:
Christine ... Christine ... Let me see her ...
PHANTOM:
Be my guest, sir ... Monsieur, I bid you welcome! Did you think that I would harm her? Why should I make her pay for the sins which are yours? Order your fine horses now! Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes! Nothing can save you now - except perhaps Christine ... Start a new life with me - Buy his freedom with your love! Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death! This is the choice - This is the point of no return!
CHRISTINE:
The tears I might have shed for your dark fate grow cold, and turn to tears of hate ...
RAOUL:
Christine, forgive me, please forgive me ... I did it all for you, and all for nothing ...
CHRISTINE:
Farewell, my fallen idol and false friend ... We had such hopes, but now these hopes lie murdered
PHANTOM:
Too late for turning back, too late for prayers and useless pity ...
RAOUL:
Say you love him, and my life is over!
PHANTOM:
Past all hope of cries for help: no point in fighting ...
RAOUL:
Either way you choose, he has to win ...
PHANTOM:
For either way you choose, you cannot win! So, do you end your days with me, or do you send him to his grave?
RAOUL:
Why make her lie to you, to save me?
CHRISTINE:
Angel of Music ...
PHANTOM:
Past the point of no return -
RAOUL:
For pity's sake, Christine, say no!
CHRISTINE:
... why this torment?
PHANTOM:
... the final threshold ...
RAOUL:
Don't throw your life away for my sake ...
CHRISTINE:
Why do you curse mercy?
PHANTOM:
His life is now the prize which you must earn!
RAOUL:
I fought so hard to free you ...
CHRISTINE:
Angel of Music ...
PHANTOM:
You've passed the point of no return ...
CHRISTINE:
... you deceived me - I gave my mind blindly ...
PHANTOM:
You try my patience - make your choice!
CHRISTINE:
Pitiful creature of darkness ... What kind of life have you known ... ? God, give me courage to show you you are not alone ...
MOB: Some:
Track down this murderer - he must be found! Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground! Too long he's preyed on us - but know we know: the Phantom of the Opera is there, deep down below ...
Others:
Who is this monster, this murdering beast? Revenge for Piangi! Revenge for Buquet! This creature must never go free ...
PHANTOM:
Take her - forget me - forget all of this ... Leave me alone - forget all you've seen ... Go now - don't let them find you! Take the boat - swear to me never to tell ,The secret you know of the angel in hell! Go ... Go now - go now and leave me! Masquerade ... Paper faces on parade ... Masquerade ... Hide your face, so the world will never find you ... Christine, I love you ...
CHRISTINE:
Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime ... say the word and I will follow you...
RAOUL:
Share each day with me ...
CHRISTINE:
... each night ...
BOTH:
... each morning ...
PHANTOM:
You alone can make my song take flight - it's over now, the music of the night ...
