Faust. When she sang in the place of La Carlotta, who was sick. No one had ever heard or seen anything like it.
People wanted to know why Daae, a real jewel, had been kept from them. Why was Daae only allowed to perform this piece when La Carlotta was sick? Were Debienne add Poligny trying to keep this great talent hidden? why? And why had she kept it hidden? The whole thing was a mystery.
Philippe Georges Marie, count of Chagny,was forty-one, good looking, and wealthy. standing up in his box, he had listened to the enthusiastic audience and joined in by clapping loudly. Next to him was his brother, Raoul, who was twenty years younger. The parents had died when Raoul was very young, so Philippe brought up the young viscount, who later joined the navy. Raoul had just come back from a trip around the world and was now home for six months before his next journey to the North Pole.
Philippe wanted Raoul to see Paris,so he took him everywhere and introduced him to the Opera. On that evening, Philippe was clapping loudly when he looked at his brother, who seemed quite pale. Christine Daae had just been carried off after fainting at the end of her performance.
" You are not going to faint too, are you? " Philippe asked.
But Raoul recovered and stood up. " Let's go and see her, " he said. "She never sang like that before."
Raoul led the way, feeling that his heart no longer belonged to him, his face a picture of burning desire.Count Philippe followed him through the crowd of gentlemen, scene movers, and ballet girls. When they arrived at Christine Daae's dressing room, the doctor was there with her. And with a great admiring crowd.
" Don't you think, Doctor, that those gentlemen had better clear the room?" Asked Raoul coolly. " she can't breathe here."
" You're quite right," said the doctor.
