After the gala, Christine is afraid to sing again and pushes away Raoul's advances. On the anniversary of her father's death, she visits the town of Perros-Guirec. Christine sends Raoul a note about her plans, as she does remember their childhood together. Christine and her father used to visit Perros-Guirec with his patrons, Professor and Mamma Valérius. The father and daughter would roam Perros playing music for money, which is how Raoul first saw Christine. After Raoul retrieved Christine's scarf from the ocean, the two became inseparable as children. Christine and Raoul delighted in hearing stories, especially Christine's father’s folktales about the Angel of Music. After her father’s death, Christine lost her love of music, though she sang at the Opera to make Mamma Valérius happy.
Raoul catches the train to Perros-Guirec and finds Christine at an inn. He declares his love for her, but she refuses to believe him. Frustrated at her naivety and still feeling jealous, Raoul confronts Christine about the man's voice in her dressing room. To his surprise, Christine is excited by his declaration and bursts into tears, locking herself in her room. Raoul fills his time alone by paying respects to Christine's father's grave.
