Angel of music

- AFTER THE GALA (SCENE 2)

(CHRISTINE is at the dressing room door)

PHANTOM'S VOICE: Bravi, bravi, bravissimi...

MEG: Where in the world have you been hiding?

Really, you were perfect!

I only wish I knew your secret!

Who is this new tutor?

CHRISTINE (entering the dressing room)

Father once spoke of an angel . . .

I used to dream he'd appear . . .

Now as I sing, I can sense him . . .

And I know he's here . . .

Here in this room

he calls me softly . . .

somewhere inside hiding . . .

Somehow I know

he's always with me . . .

he - the unseen genius . . .

MEG: Christine, you must have been dreaming,

stories like this can't come true . . .

Christine, you're talking in riddles . . .

and it's not like you . . .

CHRISTINE (not hearing her, ecstatic)

Angel of Music! Guide and guardian!

Grant to me your glory!

MEG: Who is this angel? This . . .

BOTH: Angel of Music! Hide no longer!

Secret and strange angel . . .

CHRISTINE: He's with me, even now . . .

MEG: Your hands are cold . . .

CHRISTINE: All around me . . .

MEG: Your face, Christine, it's white . . .

CHRISTINE: It frightens me . . .

MEG: Don't be frightened . . .
