This Place is Mine

Track 6

Carlotta: Meg Bussert

Christine now enters the Opera House looking for Gerard Cariere. Jean-Claude, the stage door man, tells her that Carriere has just been fired. Her dreams seem dashed. Jean-claude takes pity on her. Maybe the new manager will help. and he leads her off.
In the manager's suite, some of the opera staff try to show Carlotta what they have planned for the new season. "what you have planned?" Offende, she chases them out and looks around gloatingly. This Place Is Mine! I'ts what she's always wanted. Cholet brings Christine to meet his wife. Corlotta is aghast: "Singing lessons? This girl can't sing! Look what she's wearing!" But when the diva hears Christine's benefactor is the opera's leading patron she changes her mind, tells Christine the only way to learn to sing is to observe singers and puts her in the costume department. "she's just replaced Joseph Buquet, who seems to have disappeared!" says Carlotta

Hey, what happened to track 5?

[jesterimb]

track 5 is there. its just a different pic

[AkumiSan]

Hrm, this song isnt on my soundtrack...rather a disappointment >>  I really like this. Carlotta amuses me and this is definitely a good audition song if it can be pulled off properly ^^ Thanks for it ^^

[jesterimb]

why isn't it on your soundtrack?

[dirulovely]

lol Doesn't 1:27 remind you of The Mob Song from Beauty and the Beast?

Well, this came first.........

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

This song is scary. Carlotta frightens me in this version.

[cantosprofanae]

why does this sund like the mob scene from beauty and the beast?

[RodrigoTurcott]

@horrorstudieo IDK why you dare to say that, i mean has anyone heard about this version, NO! just a few ones but Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom is one of the best musicals ever!! that's why they have 25 years in London and hey, howlong did this version was on theatre, lol anyway i'm not gonna argue, you have your point of view and i've mine so i only wanted to make it clear

[kogiama]

@dirulovely you are right

[horrorstudieo]

tis version of the phantom of the opera is better then ALW version

[mysweetsmile23]

mob song anyone? 

[MewtwoLove]

This musical is amazing! Too bad it's been so overlooked because of the ALW version (which has me in its grasp because of 'Point of No Return'). This version gives Christine so much more strength, gives Erik a more detailed background, and gives Carlotta this WONDERFUL SONG! :)

[HeiwaChikara]

Wow, I actually like this song. o_o Sure it ain't "angelic" but there's attitude in it, and I like that. Her high notes are actually pleasant and the song overall is pretty catchy too.

[PaleWithYellowHair]

I adore this song

[PiperPix]

It's definitely overlooked, though I prefer POTO overall :D

[ScarletFlamia]

I realized just after asking it...duh ^^''' sorry
