FIRMIN:Messieurs Andre
ANDRE:Messieurs FIRMIN
FIRMIN:Dear Andre what a splendid party
ANDRE:The prologue to a bright new year
FIRMIN:Quite a night
I'm impressed
FIRMIN:Well, one does one's best
ANDRE/FIRMIN:Here's to us
The toast of all the city
What a pity that the Phantom can't be here
CHORUS:Masquerade
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your face, so the world will never find you
Masquerade
Every face a different shade
Masquerade
Look aroundThere's another mask behind you
Flash of mauve
Splash of puce
Fool and king
Ghoul and goose
Green and black
Queen and priest
Trace of rouge
Face of beast
Faces
Take your turn, take a ride on the merry-go-round in an inhuman race
Eye of gold
Thigh of blue
True is false
Who is who
Curl of lip
Swirl of gown

Face of clown
Faces
Drink it in,drink it up,till you've drowned in the light,in the sound
STINE:But who can name the face
ALL:Masquerade
Grinning yellows, spinning reds
Masquerade
Take your fill，let the spectacle astound you
Masquerade
Burning glances, turning heads
Masquerade
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you
Masquerade
Seething shadows breathing lies
Masquerade
You can fool any friend who ever knew you
Masquerade
Leering satyrs, peering eyes
Masquerade
Run and hide - but a face will still pursue you
GIRY:What a night
MEG:What a crowd
ANDRE:Makes you glad
FIRMIN:Makes you proud
All the creme de la creme
CARLOTTA:Watching us watching them
MEG/GlRY:And all our fears are in the past
ANDRE:Six months（
PIANGI:Of relief
CARLOTTA:Of delight
ANDRE/FIRMIN:Of Elysian peace
And we can breathe at last
CARLOTTA:No more notes
PIANGI:No more ghost
GIRY:Here's a health
ANDRE:Here's a toast: to a prosperous year
FIRMIN:To our friends,to our health
PIANGI/CARLOTTA:And may its splendour never fade
GIRY:What a joy
MEG:What a change
FIRMIN/ANDRE:What a blessed release
GLRY:And what a masquerade
(They clink glasses and move offThen RAOUL and CHRISTINE emerged She is admiring a new acquisition: an engagement ring from RAOUL, which she has attached to a gold chain around her neck)
CHRISTINE:Think of it
A secret engagement
Look - your future bride（
Just think of it
RAOUL:But why is it secret
What we have to hide?You promised me
CHRISTINE:No，RaoulDon't do it,please
RAOUL:Although,let them seeIt's an engagement, not a crime
Christine,What are you afraid of?
CHRISTINE:Let's not argue
RAOUL:Let's not argue
CHRISTINE:Please pretend
RAOUL:I can only hope I'll
CHRISTINE:You will
BOTH:understand in time
(Dance section, in which CHRISTINE, almost coquettish almost jittery, goes from man to man But too many of her partners seem to be replicas of the PHANTOM, and each spins her with increasing force Eventually RAOUL rescues her and holds her tightly He whirls her back into the dance, as the music heads towards its climax)
ALL:Masquerade
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your face, so the world will never find you
Masquerade
Every face a different shade
Masquerade
Look aroundThere's another mask behind you
Masquerade
Burning glances, turning heads
Masquerade
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you
Masquerade
Grinning yellows, spinning reds
Masquerade
Take your fill，let the spectacle astound you
(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)
