Raoul:
A collector's piece indeed
Every detail, Exactly as she said
Will you still play when all the rest of us are dead?
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're told, ladies and gentlemen,
that this is the very chandelier...
...which figures in the famous disaster.
Our workshops have repaired it and wired parts of it for the new electric light.
Perhaps we can frighten away the ghost...
...of so many years ago with a little illumination.
Gentlemen?
