The Bistro: Sing/Paree Is a Lark/Christine’s Obligato
As You Would Love Paree/Finale

Chirstine: Glory Crampton
Carlotta: Meg Bussert,
and Company

Her audition will be no ordinary one; Carlotta would be too jealous for that. It will take place at the local bistro, where the company goes after the show. At the bistro everybody sings, and Christine’s opportunity comes when the Count, who’s been away, throws a huge party and invites her, of course. “Sing!” intone the waiters. Carlotta agrees to start the contest. “Paree Is A Lark” she sings (and none too well.) Then Christine takes a turn. “Christine’s Obligato” wins everyone’s applause, except, of course, Carlotta’s. When Christine sings “As You Would Love Paree” the crowd goes wild. Cholet offers her a contract on the spot, and Carlotta begins her treachery. Christine must sing only leading roles, she proclaims. Christine is overwhelmed.
