viscount raoul de chagny
in the lair, christine is forced to don a wedding dress. raoul finds the lair and attempts to persuade the phantom to spare christine, begging him to show compassion. the phantom refuses, stating that "the world showed no compassion to me" and claiming that his intention was never to hurt christine for raoul's "sins." the phantom captures raoul with his lasso and turns to christine - he bargains that he will free raoul if she agrees to stay with him forever; if she refuses, raoul will die. christine, heartbroken, tells the phantom that it is his soul that is deformed, not his face. as the phantom and raoul both plead to her, christine mournfully wonders what kind of life the phantom has known. she tells the phantom that he is not alone and kisses him, showing him compassion. the phantom, having experienced kindness, at last, understands that he cannot compel christine to love him. he sets them both free, telling them to forget about "this angel in hell". christine returns the phantom's ring to him, and he tells her he loves her. christine exits with raoul. lamenting that, without christine, "it's over now, the music of the night", the phantom makes his way to his throne and covers himself with his cloak. meg enters the phantom's lair and pulls away the cloak, finding only the phantom's mask. she holds the phantom's mask up and looks out to the audience as the lights fade to black.
