Madame Giry’s Tale / The Fairground Lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Patrick Wilson (Actor), Miranda Richardson

The Phantom of the Opera (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack / Deluxe Edition)

2004

[MADAME GIRY is hurrying across. RAOUL appears and calls after her.]
[RAOUL, spoken]
Madame Giry, wait!
[MADAME GIRY, spoken]
Please, monsieur, I know no more than anyone else
[RAOUL, spoken]
That's not true!
[MADAME GIRY, spoken]
Monsieur, don't ask
There have been too many accidents
[RAOUL, spoken]
Accidents?
Please, Madame Giry, for all our sakes
[MADAME GIRY, spoken]
Very well
It was years ago
There was a travelling fair in the city, gypsies
I was very young, studying to be a ballerina
One of many living in the dormitories of the opera house
[There is a flashback to when Madame Giry is still very young and at the travelling fair. Young Madame Giry's school is taking a field trip to a travelling circus.]
[WOMAN, spoken]
See the wonder from the East!
[CRUEL MAN, spoken]
Come, come, come inside
Come and see the Devil's Child
[Instrumental]
[MAN, spoken]
Murder! Murder!
[POLICEMAN, spoken]
Which way?
[MAN, spoken]
That way!
[MADAME GIRY, spoken]
I hid him from the world and its cruelties
He has known nothing else of life since then except this opera house
It was his playground and, now, his artistic domain
He's a genius, he's an architect and designer, he's a composer and a magician
A genius, monsieur
[RAOUL, spoken]
Clearly, Madame Giry, genius has turned to madness
