[Madame Giry + Lesser Opera Persons]
The worst tragedy since the fall of Rome has occurred.
My head is as heavy as the heart of a sinner before Our Lord. My breath is labored, and I am weak as a newborn lamb. My skin is cold as the eternal death. Yet, worse even than the pallor of my perfect complexion is the fate of our beloved opera.
Madame, I have lost my voice. The same voice which has captured the world, and brought it to its knees. The voice which brings tears to the eyes of gentlemen, and tenderness to the heart of ladies. That voice is nothing now. It is gone.
I am as good as dead, Madame Giry. And along with me, the opera.
