Christine enters and the Phantom sings 'Christine, I love you.' Christine then returns the ring which the Phantom had recently given to her.Ĭhristine and Raoul leave, and the Phantom is left alone and unloved. Christine unties Raoul and we see the Phantom sitting in front of the monkey music box, crying and singing. He tells Christine to take Raoul and go, therefore condemning himself to a lifetime of misery and loneliness. The Phantom is overcome with emotion, because he has never before been touched by any motion of love, and he realizes that he wants Christine to be happy. She tells the Phantom that he is not alone,and she and the Phantom then share a passionate kiss. She can either live with the Phantom, thereby allowing Raoul to live, or else choose a life of liberty, away from the Phantom, while leaving Raoul to death. When Raoul enters, Raoul turns when the gate closes, and the Phantom throws the punjab lasso around Raoul's neck, ties him up, and offers Christine a choice. Once he reaches Christine and the Phantom, locked in a struggle of wills, the Phantom realizes his presence, and opens the gate to his lair. He quickly escapes and then continues on his quest to find Chrisitine.

On his way, Raoul falls into a flooding chamber, one of the many traps the Phantom has planted. The Phantom then drags Christine off to his lair, much to the horror of her lover, Raoul who, led by Madame Giry attempts to follow them. In a fit of anger, the Phantom cuts the only rope supporting a huge chandelier, causing it to fall into the audience and set fire. During the play, Don Juan, Christine unmasks the Phantom, revealing his horribly derranged face.
