When Carlotta heard Tifa's name she was almost going to burst; but Sparda and James were worried for her, they thought that Tifa was harmed by the demon; Firmin and Andre were arguing of which of the singers would play the part of the countess, Tifa or Carlotta?. 'This must be a joke made by those two fools, the human and that idiot-of-a-son skeleton' Carlotta thought.
Carlotta:
Tifa!
Andre:
Whatever
next?
Carlotta:
It's
all a ploy to help Tifa!
Firmin:
This
is insane...
Carlotta:
I
know who sent this:
The Vicomte -- her lover!
James:
Monsieur
Can
you believe this?
Andre:
Signora!
Carlotta:
O
traditori!
Firmin:
This
is a joke!
Andre:
This
changes nothing!
Carlotta:
O
menititori!
Firmin:
Signora!
Andre:
You
are our star!
Firmin:
And
always will be!
Andre:
Signora...
Firmin:
This
creature is mad!
Andre:
We
don't take orders!
Firmin:
Miss
'le Strange will be playing the pageboy -- the silent role...
Andre
and Firmin:
Carlotta will be playing the lead!
Carlotta:
It's
useless trying to appease me!
You're only saying this to please
me!
Signori, e vero?
Non, non, non voglio udire!
Lasciatemi morire!
O padre mio!
Dio!
Emily:
Who scorn his word, beware to those...
Carlotta:
You
have reviled me!
Emily:
The
demon sees, the demon knows...
Carlotta:
You
have rebuked me!
Andre
and Firmin:
Signora, pardon us...
Carlotta:
You
have replaced me!
Andre
and Firmin:
Please, Signora
We beseech you...
Emily
This
hour shall see your darkest fears
James
and Sparda:
I must see her...
Carlotta:
Abbandonata!
Deseredata!
O, sventurata!
Emily:
The
demon sees, the demon hears...
James
and Sparda:
Where did she go...?
Carlotta:
Abbandonata!
Disgraziata!
Andre
and Firmin:
Signora, sing for us!
Don't be a martyr...
Everyone:
What
new surprises lie in store...?
Carlotta approaches the exit to the opera house; which is filled with millions of fans holding different types of flowers. "Would you please give this to Miss Tifa?" said one of the many fans, Carlotta quickly closed the door, "Miss Tifa?" the same fan said, Carlotta felt that she has been replaced by a mere human girl with an ugly scar. She didn't know what to do. "Your public needs you" said Monsieur Andre. "We need you too" Firmin said.
"Wouldn't you rather have your precious little creator?" Carlotta said angrily to the two gentlemen. "Signora, no" they both said.
Andre
and Firmin:
The world wants you.Prima Donna first
lady of the stage
your devotees are on their knees to implore you
Andre:
Can
you bow out when their shouting your name?
Firmin:
Think
of how they all adore you.
Andre
and Firmin:
Prima Donna enchant us once again
Andre:
Think
of your muse
Firmin:
And
of the queues round the theatre!
Andre
and Firmin:
Can you deny us the triumph in store?
Sing, Primma
Donna one more!
Sparda:
Tifa
spoke of a demon.
Calotta:
Primma
Donna your song shall live again, you took a snub, but there's a
public who needs you.
Emily:
He
has heard...
Carlotta,
Firmin and Andre:
Think of their cry of undying support, follow
where the limelight leads you!
Carlotta:
Primma
Donna your song shall never die, you'll sing again, and to unending
ovation.
James,
Sparda, Andre and Frimin:
Orders! Warnings!
Lunatic demands!
Carlotta:
Think
how you'll shine in that final encore.
Andre
and Firmin:
Sing Prima Donna once more!
James:
I
must see if
these demands are rejected!
Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve a chorus girl who's gone and slept with the patron? James and the soubrette entwined in loves duet, although he may deny he must have been with her. You'd never get away with all this in a play, but if its loudly sung and in a foreign tongue, it's just the sort of story audiences adore, in fact a perfect opera.
Emily,
Katie and Marie:
For/But if his curse is on this opera
Everyone:
Prima
Donna the world is at your feet
a nation waits and how it hates to
be cheated.
Light up the stage with that age old raport;
sing,
Prima Donna once more!

Since every one of Drago's commands were ignored, he was very disappointed in them. He saw them prepare the opera Il Muto and also when Carlotta mentioned that James was Tifa's lover, he felt in his heart anger. HE was Tifa's lover, not the skeleton. "So... it is war between us! If these demands are not met... a disaster beyond their imagination... will occur... Even if I do not wish the disaster... upon the one I love... " Drago said to himself, he grabbed his cloak and walked thru the underground chambers to above the stage of the Opera Populaire.
Jeje, too much singing there ;
