Prelude Lyrics by Frankenstein World Premiere Cast

Frankenstein (World Premiere Recording)

2008

[ROBERT WALTON (spoken)]
Captain Robert Walton, in a letter to his sister, November 9th, 1793
It was just north of the Arctic circle that I discovered him, adrift on a floe of ice alongside our ship. A wretch, near death. In the days that followed he would tell me a tale, strange and horrifying. His life...a twisted path of destruction. His deeds...almost too incredible to recount
[VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN]
I am the innocent, I am the damned!
[WALTON (spoken)]
I alone know the heart of this man...
[VICTOR]
The found of delusion, the father of dreams!
[WALTON (spoken)]
...For I alone am still haunted by the faces of those he loved
[VICTOR'S FATHER (spoken)]
His adoring father, who could see in him only greatness
[VICTOR'S MOTHER (spoken)]
The mother whose loving spirit he could not bear to lose
[WILLIAM (spoken)]
The young brother who worshipped him
[JUSTINE (spoken)]
And the faithful servant who understood why
[VICTOR (spoken)]
I am not a madman!
[HENRY (spoken)]
The soul who was his dearest friend in life
[WALTON (spoken)]
And the woman, who from their childhood days had been—
[ELIZABETH (spoken)]
His one, true love
[VICTOR]
I can hear my name...
[WALTON (spoken)]
His story is the province of nightmares
[VICTOR]
Blackened by my crime...
[ELIZABETH (spoken)]
Yet, it must be told
[VICTOR]
Haunting me and taunting as it echoes through all time...
[WALTON (spoken)]
His name...
Is Frankenstein
[INSTRUMENTAL]
