    THE STAGE OF THE PARIS OPERA, 1905

    (The contents of the opera house is being

    auctioned off. An AUCTIONEER, PORTERS,

    BIDDERS, and RAOUL, seventy now, but still

    bright of eye. The action commences with a

    blow from the AUCTlONEER's gavel)

    AUCTIONEER

    Sold. Your number, sir? Thank you.

    Lot 663, then, ladies and gentlemen: a poster

    for this house's production of "Hannibal" by

    Chalumeau.

    PORTER

    Showing here.

    AUCTIONEER

    Do I have ten francs? Five then. Five I am bid.

    Six, seven. Against you, sir, seven. Eight.

    Eight once. Selling twice. Sold, to Raoul,

    Vicomte de Chagny.

    Lot 664: a wooden pistol and three human

    skulls from the 1831 production of "Robert le

    Diable" by Meyerbeer. Ten francs for this. Ten,

    thank you. Ten francs still. Fifteen, thank you,

    sir Fifteen I am bid. Going at fifteen. Your

    number, sir?

    665, ladies and gentlemen: a papier-mache

    musical box, in the shape of a barrel-organ.

    Attached, the figure of a monkey in Persian

    robes playing the cymbals. This item,

    discovered in the vaults of the theatre, still in

    working order.

    PORTER (holding it up)

    Showing here. (He sets it in motion)

    AUCTIONEER

    My I start at twenty francs? Fifteen, then?

    Fifteen I am bid.

    (the bidding continues. RAOUL. eventually

    buys the box for thirty francs)

    Sold, for thirty francs to the Vicomte de

    Chagny. Thank you, sir.

    (The box is handed across to RAOUL. He studies it, as

    attention focuses on him for a moment)

    RAOUL (quietly, half to himself, half to the

    box)

    A collector's piece indeed . . .

    every detail exactly as she said . . .

    She often spoke of you, my friend ....

    Your velvet lining, and your figurine of lead...

    Will you still play,

    when all the rest of us are dead?

    (Attention returns to the AUCTIONEER, as he

    resumes)

    AUCTIONEER

    Lot 666, then: a chandelier in pieces. Some of

    you may recall the strange affair of the

    Phantom of the Opera: a mystery never fully

    explained. We are told ladies and gentlemen,

    that this is the very chandelier which figures in

    the famous disaster. Our workshops have

    restored it and fitted up parts of it with wiring

    for the new electric light, so that we may get a

    hint of what it may look like when re-

    assembled. Perhaps we may frighten away the

    ghost of so many years ago with a little

    illumination, gentlemen?

    (The AUCTIONEER switches on the chandelier

    There is an enormous flash, and the OVERTURE

    begins. During the overture the opera house is

    restored to its earlier grandeur. The chandelier

    immense and glittering, rises magically from

    the stage, finally hovering high above the

    stalls
