Prima Donna |
| «a vertical line of **** indicates areas of the text where there is a substantial overlapping of different voices) |
| ANDRÉ |
| Your public needs you! |
| FIRMIN |
| We need you, too! |
| CARLOTTA |
| Would you not |
| rather have your |
| precious little |
| ingenue? |
| ANDRÉ/FIRMIN |
| Signora, no! |
| The world wants you! |
| ANDRÉ/FIRMIN |
| Prima donna, |
| first lady of the stage! |
| Your devotees |
| are on their knees |
| to implore you! |
| ANDRÉ |
| Can you bow out |
| when they’re shouting |
| your name? |
| FIRMIN |
| Think of how they all |
| adore you! |
| BOTH |
| Prima donna, |
| enchant us once again! |
| ANDRÉ |
| Think of your muse… |
| FIRMIN |
| And of the queues |
| round the theatre! |
| BOTH |
| Can you deny us the triumph |
| in store? |
| Sing, prima donna, |
| your song shall live again! |
| ALL |
| Light up the stage |
| with that age-old |
| rapport! |
| Sing, prima donna, |
| once more! |
| PHANTOM |
| (spoken) |
| So, it is to be war between us! |
| If these |
| demands are not met, a disaster beyond |
| your imagination will occur! |
| ALL |
| Once more |
