Phantom of the Opera Characters Trivia

1. Thanks to the Phantom dropping the stage curtain on the prima donna, Christine lands her first solo. Which song does she sing?

From Quiz Christine

Answer: Think of Me

Christine makes her first appearance with the rest of the ballet dancers rehearsing as part of the opera "Hannibal". During the rehearsal, the Phantom drops the stage curtain on top of Carlotta, the prima donna. Carlotta leaves, insulted and enraged, so the managers have no choice except to let Christine sing. She gets up and quaveringly begins the solo Carlotta had been meant to sing, "Think of Me". Her voice gains strength, and the stage transforms to show that she is now performing in front of the audience as the female lead.

Answer: Blue

She sometimes wears the hood up and sometimes down.

From Quiz "Phantom of the Opera" - Carlotta, Part II

Answer: red

In all productions, Carlotta has some variance of red hair although Piangi's hair color varies.

From Quiz Phantom of the Opera: Carlotta

Answer: Guidicelli

Piangi is Ubaldo's last name. It's derived from the Italian piangere, which means 'to cry.'

From Quiz Christine

Answer: Her father

Offstage, Christine says that before he died, her father promised her that he would send her the Angel of Music. When she came to the Opera Populaire with Madame Giry, she thought the Angel had come to her. In reality, the Phantom had heard that she expected an angel, so he masqueraded as the Angel of Music to give her singing lessons. Christine's dialog then shifts into her singing "Angel of Music" with Meg.

From Quiz Christine Daae

Answer: Violin

He played at night and sometimes Raoul was there.

From Quiz "Phantom of the Opera" - Carlotta, Part II

Answer: Piangi

One actress who played Carlotta believes that in the absence of a romantic relationship, Piangi would have done Carlotta's bidding as the way operas were cast was different back then. The leading sopranos sometimes had a bit of power over who was cast opposite them, so Piangi could have just been protecting his own interests by placating Carlotta.

From Quiz Phantom of the Opera: Carlotta

Answer: Leading soprano

She was the 'leading soprano for 5 seasons now.' Leading soprano means that she played the lead in just about all the productions.

From Quiz Christine Daae

Answer: The Phantom

Meg sings "Who is this new tutor?" referring to the fact that she doesn't know who the Phantom is.

From Quiz "Phantom of the Opera" - Carlotta, Part II

Answer: one day

We can figure this out easily by looking at the intervening scenes. "Little Lotte" takes place immediately following the gala. After Raoul leaves, the Phantom takes Christine. She wakes up the next morning ("Stranger Than...") and the Phantom returns Christine to the theatre (immediately prior to the first managers scene). In "Notes I," the managers are going over the morning's papers - giving reviews of last night's gala. Carlotta rushes in a few moments later - the day after the gala.

From Quiz Phantom of the Opera: Carlotta

Answer: 5 seasons

'The leading soprano for five seasons now.'

From Quiz Christine Daae

Answer: In her dressing room

The Phantom is behind her dressing room mirror.

From Quiz "Phantom of the Opera" - Carlotta, Part II

Answer: Rivals

While Andre and Firmin are singing their bit, Carlotta and Piangi sing "the stress that falls upon a famous prima donna - terrible diseases, coughs and colds and sneezes. Still the dryest throat will reach its highest note in search of perfect opera!"

From Quiz Phantom of the Opera: Carlotta

Answer: 3 years

'For the past 3 years these things do happen! And did you stop them from happening? No. And you! You are as bad as him! 'These things do happen!'

From Quiz Christine

Answer: Buquet's death

The Phantom sends notes to the Opera Populaire's managers, Messieurs Andre and Firmin, telling them to have Christine sing the main character's role in their next opera, "Il Muto". They very indignantly do just the opposite, having Carlotta sing the lead with Christine playing a silent role. Meanwhile, Buquet scares young girls with tales of the Phantom and his lasso. Madame Giry stops him, telling him it is unwise to speak of what he does not know. During "Il Muto", the Phantom causes Carlotta to lose her voice. The managers have the performers skip to the ballet. The ballerinas stop halfway through in horror when Buquet's dead body is dropped from the rafters suspended by a lasso. Christine dashes away, singing, "My God who is this man,who hunts to kill I can't escape from him, I never will!"

From Quiz Christine Daae

Answer: Think of Me

She was a member of the corps de ballet before the scenery dropped onto Carlotta.

From Quiz "Phantom of the Opera" - Carlotta, Part II

Answer: She should be silent on stage

The Phantom's note talks about how the casting should be changed. The part of the Countess "calls for charm and appeal" while the role the Phantom wants Carlotta to play (the Pageboy) doesn't have a single line as the Pageboy is mute (hence "Il Muto").

From Quiz Phantom of the Opera: Carlotta

Answer: Andre

She then proceeds to flirt with him. Firmin, on the other hand, couldn't care less (which could be because he's married).

From Quiz Christine

Answer: Raoul

Raoul chases after Christine when she flees the scene of Buquet's death. She leads him to the top of the roof. She explains about the Phantom in her song "Raoul I've Been There". He comforts her, and they sing their love with "All I Ask of You". Unbeknownst to them, the Phantom is listening. Later, as Raoul and Christine join the masquerade party, they sing about their "secret engagement", and she sports an engagement ring on a chain around her neck.

From Quiz Christine Daae

Answer: Slave Girl

Piangi gets picked up and put onto the back of an elephant during this scene.

From Quiz "Phantom of the Opera" - Carlotta, Part II

Answer: Piangi

Piangi doesn't play Don Attilo as it's written for a bass singer. We see that Piangi has been waiting in the wings after Carlotta starts to croak, when he runs on stage to try and calm her/get her off the stage. Raoul and Andre sit in their respective boxes while the Phantom ends up looking down on the stage from above.

From Quiz Phantom of the Opera: Carlotta

Answer: Andiamo

Andiamo means 'let's go' in Italian. Ubaldo then follows her off the stage while muttering/shouting 'amateurs!'

From Quiz Christine

Answer: She is the bait

The Phantom interrupts the masquerade party to give them sheet music and orders. Among other things, he demands that Christine sing the female lead's role, and that he be given "his" Box 5. The managers are too cowed to do anything with him there. When he leaves, however, Raoul points out that they can bait him. If Christine sings, he will definitely be there. They will then have armed guards within the closed doors. The Phantom will be trapped. Christine is afraid, not only about being used as bait, but also that they will be unable to catch him.

From Quiz Christine Daae

Answer: Twice

The first time we do not see the Phantom's face but the second time we do.

From Quiz "Phantom of the Opera" - Carlotta, Part II

Answer: The Pageboy's skirt was already removed

The first time, Carlotta took off Christine's skirt and threw it towards her attendants. After the Phantom interrupts and Carlotta begins the song again, they forgot to put the skirt back on Christine so Carlotta gets tripped up a little as she tries to figure out whether to just pretend to take it off or what. As for Carlotta forgetting her lines - nope, the Phantom just made her croak like a toad. (Now why, if the Phantom was using ventriloquism, her voice wouldn't be heard *in addition to* the toad is beyond me...)

From Quiz Christine

Answer: Her father's grave

Late at night, Christine sneaks off to the graveyard. She wanders to her father's grave, remembering his promise of sending the Angel of Music by singing "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again". As she kneels before his tomb, the Phantom sings "Wandering Child" and entices her to go inside the tomb. Raoul arrives hurriedly, having followed Christine. He and the Phantom duel, but Christine interposes herself. The two lovers leave together. Behind them, the Phantom declares war on both of them, including Christine.

From Quiz Christine Daae

From Quiz Christine

Answer: Takes off his mask

As per the Phantom's instructions, Christine sings the lead, Box 5 is left empty, and Carlotta takes a minor role. When Piangi, as Don Juan, goes offstage, he is ambushed by the Phantom. The Phantom appears onstage as Don Juan, and they duet with "Point of No Return". Fearing for her safety, Raoul and the managers keep the soldiers from firing. As the Phantom sings a reprise of "All I Ask of You", Christine takes off his mask, revealing his face to the entire opera house. The Phantom grabs Christine and vanishes to his lair.
