gounod's roméo et juliette; leroux only says christine sings some excerpts from it on her first night covering for carlotta and he doesn't clarify further, i like to think she also sang the poison aria at some point (especially considering later in the novel christine tries to kill herself in erik's lair)

the prison scene and final trio from gounod's faust, the piece that makes the parisian audience fall in love with christine as raoul and erik watch. it was also used in the 1990 miniseries!

when christine isn't covering for carlotta, she's playing siebel en travesti, and faites-lui mes aveux is the aria she's singing on the night the chandelier falls when she makes eye contact with raoul and her voice falters - while he starts sobbing violently to everyone else's confusion

the jewel aria is the aria that makes the audience go mad for carlotta

during that same performance of faust, while singing act 3's last duet il se fait tard, carlotta croaks at the end of the line that starts at 2.20

erik sings nuit d'hyménée from gounod's roméo et juliette, the wedding night duet (he gives her a ring that night), as raoul watches christine walk through the mirror after the masked ball

la romanza di desdemona from rossini's othello, which erik (!) sings to christine after bringing her to the lair for the first time
