Pass all thought of right or wrong. One final question. How long shall we to wait before we’re one? Phantom: Ayanga (Ayunga) Christine: Yang Chen Xiu Yi/Pan Hang Wei
(At the height of the activity a grotesque figure suddenly appears at the top of the staircase. Dressed all in crimson, with a death’s head visible inside the hood of his robe, the PHANTOM has come to the party. With dreadful wooden steps he descends the stairs and takes the centre of the stage) PHANTOM Why so silent, good Messieurs? Did you think that I had left you for good? Have you missed me, good Messieurs? I have written you an opera! (He takes from under his robe an enormous bound manuscript) Here I bring the finished score - ‘Don Juan Triumphant’! (He throws it to ANDRÉ) I advise you to comply - my instructions should be clear - Remember, there are worse things than a shattered chandelier… (CHRISTINE , mesmerised, approaches as the PHANTOM beckons her. He reaches out, grasps the chain that holds the secret engagement ring, and rips it from her throat) Your chains are still mine - you will sing for me! (ALL cower in suspense as the music crescendos until, suddenly, his figure evaporates)
