Ludicrous!
Have you seen the score?
Simply ludicrous!
It's the final straw!
This is lunacy!
Well, you know my views
...Utter lunacy!
But we daren't refuse ...
Not another
Chandelier
...Look, my friend, what
We have here ...
"Dear Andre,
Re my orchestrations:
We need another first bassoon.
Get a player with tone -
And that third trombone
Has to go!
The man could not be deafer,
So please preferably one
Who plays in tune!"
"Dear Firmin,
Vis a vis my opera:
Some chorus-members must be sacked.
If you could, find out which
Has a sense of pitch -
Wisely, though,
I've managed to assign a
Rather minor role to those
Who cannot act!"
Outrage!
What is it now?
This whole affair is
An outrage!
Now what's the matter?
Have you seen
The size of my part?
Signora, listen ...
It's an insult!
Not you as well!
Just look at this -
It's an insult!
Please, understand ...
Signor! Signora!
The things I have
To do for my art!
If you can call
This gibberish "art" !
Ah! Here's our little flower!
Ah Miss Daae,
Quite the lady
Of the hour!
You have
Secured the largest role
In this "Don Juan".
Christine Daae?
She doesn't have
The voice!
Signora, please!
Then I take it
