<br>

ANDRE & FIRMIN<br>

Prima donna first lady of the stage!<br>

Your devotees are on their knees to implore you!<br>

Can you bow out when they're shouting your name?<br>

Think of how they all adore you!<br>

<br>

Prima donna, enchant us once again!<br>

Think of your muse... And of the queues round the theatre!<br>

Can you deny us the triumph in store?<br>

Sing, prima donna, once more!<br>

<br>

RAOUL<br>

Christine spoke of an angel...<br>

<br>

<br>

CARLOTTA<br>

Prima donna, your song shall live again!<br>

<br>

ANDRE & FIRMIN<br>

Think of your public!<br>

<br>

CARLOTTA<br>

You took a snub, but there's a public who needs you!<br>

<br>

MME. GIRY <br>

She has heard the voice of the angel of music...<br>

<br>

ANDRE & FIRMIN<br>

Those who hear your voice liken you to an angel!<br>

<br>

CARLOTTA <br>

Think of their cry of undying support!<br>

<br>

ANDRE<br>

We get our opera<br>

<br>

CARLOTTA<br>

Follow where the limelight leads you!<br>

<br>

FIRMIN<br>

She gets her limelight!<br>

<br>

ANDRE & FIRMIN<br>

Leading ladies are a trial!<br>

<br>

CARLOTTA<br>

Prima donna, your song shall never die!<br>

You'll sing again, and to unending ovation!<br>

<br>

RAOUL<br>

Orders! Warnings!Lunatic demands!<br>

<br>

ANDRE & FIRMIN<br>

Tears... oaths... lunatic demands are regular occurrences!<br>

<br>

CARLOTTA<br>

Think how you'll shine in that final encore!<br>

<br>

ANDRE & FIRMIN<br>

Surely there'll be further scenes worse than this!<br>

<br>

RAOUL <br>

Think, before these demands are rejected!<br>

<br>

ANDRE & FIRMIN<br>

Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve a chorus girl,<br>

who's gone and slept with the patron?<br>

Raoul and the soubrette,<br>

entwined in love's duet!<br>

Although he may demur,<br>

he must have been with her!<br>

You'd never get away with all this in a play,<br>

but if it's loudly sung and in a foreign tongue<br>

it's just the sort of story audiences adore,<br>

in fact a perfect opera!<br>

<br>

ALL<br>

Prima donna the world is at your feet!<br>

A nation waits, and how it hates to be cheated!<br>

Light up the stage with that age old rapport!<br>

Sing, prima donna, once more!<br>

<br>
