('Think of Me')īackstage after her triumphant debut, Christine confesses to her best friend Pierre (Madame Giry's son) (Victor) that she knows her mysterious teacher only as an invisible 'Angel of Music' ('Angel of Music'). Rather than cancel the performance, the owners reluctantly audition Christine, and to their surprise, she is equal to the challenge.

Madame Giry (Skeeter), the Opéra's ballet mistress, tells Firmin and André that Christine Daaé (Miss Piggy), a Swedish chorus girl and orphaned daughter of a prominent violinist, has been 'well taught', and could sing Carlotta's role. The Opera's new owners, Firmin and André (Gonzo and Rowlf), try to downplay the incident, but Carlotta refuses to continue and storms offstage. 'The Phantom! He's here!' the excited cast members whisper. As Carlotta, the Opéra's resident soprano prima donna (Janice), rehearses for that evening's performance, a backdrop collapses without warning. Lot 665, purchased by the elderly Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny (Scooter), is a music box in the shape of a monkey he eyes it fondly, noting that its details appear 'exactly as she said.' Lot 666 is a shattered chandelier which, the auctioneer says, has a connection to 'the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera.a mystery never fully explained.' As the chandelier illuminates, reassembles itself, and slowly rises over the audience to its old position in the rafters, the years roll back and the theatre returns to its 1880s grandeur.

At the Paris Emerald Clover Opera House in 1911, an auction of old props is underway.
