meanwhile, inside the opéra house, joseph buquet, the opéra's chief stagehand, regales the chorus girls with tales of the "opéra ghost" and his magical lasso. madame giry warns buquet to exercise restraint ("magical lasso"). in the managers’ office, andré and firman read notes from the phantom aloud and are interrupted by raoul, who accuses them of sending him a note saying that he should make no attempt to see christine again. carlotta and piangi then burst into the office, demanding to know who sent carlotta a note saying that her days at the opéra are numbered. as andré and firmin try to calm the distressed carlotta, madame giry delivers another note from the phantom: he demands that christine replace carlotta in the new opera, "il muto", or there will be a terrible disaster "beyond imagination" ("notes…"). firmin and andré assure the enraged carlotta that she will remain the star, begging her to "entrance us once again" ("prima donna"). the performance begins well, with andré and firmin joking about the disaster the phantom threatened. the phantom's voice suddenly cuts through the performance, angrily reminding them that he had instructed them to keep box 5 empty for his use. as christine whispers that she knows the phantom is near, carlotte reminds her that her role is silent, calling her a "little toad". the phantom states that it is carlotta who is the toad and reduces carlotta's voice to a frog-like croak. firmin quickly tries to calm the situation by telling the audience that christine will take over the starring role, moving forward the ballet to keep the audience entertained. suddenly, the corpse of buquet, hanging from the phantom's magical lasso, drops from the rafters. firmin and andré plead for calm as the phantom's diabolical laughter is heard ("poor fool, he makes me laugh").
