Prima Donna - 2004 Film | The Phantom of the Opera 

I'm not a big Carlotta fan, but in Point of no Return when she cries over her lover, I get kind of emotional.

My mom used to sing this to me when I was a teenager and was having self doubts :)

Funny how the term “Prima Donna” basically means diva these days, even though it essentially meant leading lady originally.

Madame Giry's eye roll at 0:13 gives me life.

Minnie Driver is so gorgeous. And the melody to this song is so beautiful, gives me chills every time.

2:20 NO ONE hears this, but they say "Chorus Girl who's gone and slept with the Patron"

me getting ready for a night out love it

That inhaling at the end!!! Lol!!

But seriously, Carlotta is a trained professional being replaced by a teenager who isn't even old enough for her voice to be fully developed, all because some creep who lives under the building finds said teenager attractive. Why the heck is she presented as a villain for being bothered by this? If Carlotta was portrayed more sympathetically, maybe it would be more obvious to certain phans that the way the Phantom makes Christine feel special with lead roles is a manipulative grooming tactic and not just her due as a talented singer.

I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved carlotas character

I freaking love how they just dropped the skirt on her

the audible group breath before the big final note has ALWAYS cracked me up. Ive adored this movie/stage musical/production for as long as I can remember

Carlotta is such a mood

Minnie Driver is such a delight. She knew exactly what part she was playing and just had fun with it :)

1:49 *casually drinks champagne from her shoe* 😂😂

The collective in-take of breath always makes me laugh.

I gotta say, Carlotta may not be very nice, but she does have a super pretty voice. It's so ELEGANT!

Performance wise, Minnie Driver seemed to be one of the very few actors in this film who got the memo: Be vividly present and don't get swallowed up by the scenery. It's easy for a performer to get lost, overwhelmed by this spectacle of a movie. She succeeded by getting us to focus on her face and body by deft comic timing, apt facial reactions and fluid gestures. Girl has skills.

I essentially do this exact scene every time I get ready for a concert. Bigass hair and all

They dubbed her singing...you're not hearing Minnie Driver, you're hearing Margaret Preece.

This was the first song that I memorized from Phantom

What would we do without these 3. It be too serious.

She sounded like a car alarm at the end XD

This is my mood getting ready for work in the morning.

Am I the only person that thinks this isn't bad. I mean it's opera and I would just love to hear her sing "queen of the night aria"...

I would like to just take a moment to point out just how supportive her husband is in all of this,

I like how Carlotta choose dog over the necklace

she's the umbridge in phantom of the opera

CAN'T STOP WATCH CARLOTTA... IS A DIVA

It's too bad that right after Christine became a big hit, Carlotta had to return to the opera house.

La carlotta and pavarotti would be phenomenal

Such an underrated song. One of my favorites 💜💙💚

The only version of Prima Donna that goes "priimaa donna your soOng shall live again"

Love the music

My opinion one of the best sences in the whole movie.

Wow... Thank you Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Rest in peace joel the man who directed this he died yesterday

Marvelous ! Great singing and performance !

In the beginning her voice sounded like an italien alien and the guy looked pained to drink from her shoe. Did you notice the pained faces that The men made behind her back? Shes so pretty.

I love the actress so much!

My favorite scene in the movie and even on the stage. Minnie Driver steal the scene!

The looks on the managers' faces 😂😂😂😂

Ohhh shes the voice of Jane in Tarzan .... 🥰

My FAV scene!!! SOOOOOO Glamorous!

That gasp gets me every time XD.

The French Poodle says it all: Hilarious 🤣

2:49 get's to me every time

GOALS

I love Carlotta lol

Wow such a pretty song 💗

Did anyone watch this movie and think she's a better singer than Christine? Like it's different in the musical, but in the movie she's leagues better than whoever plays Christine.

MAGNIFIC!!!!!💖👏👏👏👏👏👏

I didnt know what this was, I let my wife use my spotify and the beginning cracked me up so I had to find it!

minnie's lipsyncing is just incredible!!

Lyrics For Prima Donna André: Your public needs you! Firmin: We need you too! Carlotta: Would you not rather have your precious little ingnue? André and Firmin: Signora, no. The world wants you. Prima donna, first lady of the stage! Your devotees are on their knees to implore you! André: Can you bow out when they're shouting your name? Firmin! Think of how they all adore you. André and Firmin: Prima donna, enchant us once again André: Think of your muse... Firmin: And of the queues round the theatre! André and Firmin: Can you deny us the triumph in store? Andre and Firmin- Sing, prima donna, once more! Raoul- Christine spoke of an angel... Carlotta- Prima donna, your song shall live again! André and Firmin- Think of your public! Carlotta- You took a snub, but there's a public who needs you! Giry- She has heard the voice of the angel of music... André and Firmin- Those who hear your voice liken you to an angel! Carlotta- Think of their cry of undying support! André- We get our opera... Firmin- She gets her limelight! Carlotta- Follow where the limelight leads you! Andr and Firmin- Leading ladies are a trial! Carlotta- Prima donna, your song shall never die Carlotta- You'll sing again, And to unending ovation! Raoul- Orders! Warnings! Lunatic demands! Carlotta- Think how you'll shine in that final encore! Sing, prima donna, once more André and Firmin- Surely there'll be further scenes - worse than this Raoul- ...I must see these demands are rejected! André and Firmin- Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve a girl, who's gone and slept with the patron? Raoul and the soubrette, entwined in love's duet! Although he may demur, he must have been with her Carlotta- O, fortunata! Non ancor abbandonata! Andr and Firmin- You'd never get away with all this in a play, but if it's loudly sung and in a foreign tongue, it's just the sort of story audiences adore, in fact a perfect opera! André and Firmin- Prima donna, the world is at your feet! a nation waits, and how it hates, to be cheated! All- Light up the stage with that age-old rapport! Sing, prima donna, once more!

Me encanta : )

I don’t believe this is the person who also voiced Jane in Tarzan...

Raoul! ❤️

Why did he drink from her shoe? I don't really get it...

Lmao when I say Carrolatta part I can sound just like her when she says would you not rather not have your precious little angelooo

"He love me, he love me love me love me"

they drink from her shoe?? ewww

Poor Richard and Gilles, having to kiss her ass so she'll come back to work. 1:46: "Leading ladies are a trial." 2:00: "Lunatic demands are regular occurrences."

The best Carlotta

0:36 Simon Callow gives the fourth wall a damn good seeing to

I’ve seen this film several times Buts one thing I was never understood is why the two managers wanted La Carlotta over Christine? Despite Christine being so beloved from her performance with Think of Me

This is the Mechanical base TRACK again

What’s really funny is carlotta gets mooned in this sequence in the movie...

oh god, i just saw Rita skeeter!!!

1:37 WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS SOMEONE EXPLAIN

0.33 that's Sir Lloyd Webber's head on a plate

101 on how to be a diva

Does anybody know where Carlotta's accent is from?

1:44 DID HE JUST DRINK CHAMPAGNE FROM HER SHOE

If Carlotta were a man, she'd be Michael Crawford.

1:35 Why they do that?🤣 drink wine in her shoe 😂

Hilarious 🧑🏻‍💻💗

This must be how people who work for Nicki Minaj must feel/behave

yes fcking karrrrlotta

Why does this sound like a song from the animate Mulan to me?

Ho-lee shit, the manager with the moustache is Mance Rayder! I'm finished.

can someone explain to me why they drink from her shoe? Was that a thing back then?

Really though...I wonder how heavy that wig was?

Marina and the Diamonds looks different here?

The Duchess of Fffrrrrraaaannnnnncccceeee 🎵 Ddddoooonnnnnnnnaaaaa....

The managers look like Willy Wonka-

Love the piece! BUT … the arrangement with so many character interactions at the same time takes away from the beautiful melody.

Those two rich mans wasting their money buying flowers, expensive jewelries, pet animals, new dresses and hand puff, desserts for Carlota. All the efforts benefiting her just to keep themselves famous.

Ewww shoe champagne 🍾

All that pink.

약 3분간의 대똥꼬쇼

I know the collective breath at the end was for laughs, but Carlotta breathed completely incorrectly for an opera singer. Too high and shallow. All in the shoulders, nothing in the lower lungs or diaphragm.

Cake women. 😂🤣😅🙂😂🤪😜

I’ll be completely honest, and I know that I sound like a purist, but I’ve always really disliked the movie. First off, they took out the phantom’s masquerade costume, then they also take out some of his guilt trips. Not only that, but their Carlotta is pitchy and A for effort seriously but she could have done better. They also play up the diva part of her and not the true beauty behind her singing which is incredibly impressive.

Why are they in her dressing room? Why a man is tight lacing a woman? 😂 Director seems really sus.

Whoooooooo! Caucasians 😍 the world of Caucasians 🥰 I want to be Caucasian forever 💕💞 hohohohohoho!
