Music Sheet
Short Info
The Phantom of the Opera is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Charles Hart with additions from Richard Stilgoe. Lloyd Webber and Stilgoe also wrote the musical’s book together. Based on the French novel Le Fantôme de l’Opéra by Gaston Leroux, its central plot revolves around a beautiful soprano, Christine Daaé, who becomes the obsession of a mysterious, disfigured musical genius.
The musical opened in London’s West End in 1986, and on Broadway in 1988. It won the 1986 Olivier Award and the 1988 Tony Award for Best Musical, and Michael Crawford (in the title role) won the Olivier and Tony Awards for Best Actor in a Musical. It is the longest running show in Broadway history by a wide margin, and celebrated its 10,000th Broadway performance on 11 February 2012, the first production ever to do so. It is the second longest-running West End musical, after Les Misérables, and the third longest-running West End show overall, after The Mousetrap.

Christine:
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again
For now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
Phantom:
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
To glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind
Christine:
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
Phantom:
It’s me they hear
Both:
My/your spirit and your/my voice
In one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your/my mind
Offstage:
He’s there the Phantom of the Opera!
Phantom:
In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery
Christine:
Were both in you
Both:
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your/my mind
Christine:
He’s there, the Phantom of the Opera!

Phantom:
I have brought you
To the seat of sweet music’s throne
To this kingdom where all must pay homage to music
Music.
You have come here
For one purpose and one alone
Since the moment I first heard you sing
I have needed you with me to serve me
To sing for my music
