THE CURSE OF THE OPERA

Three days ago, on the 23rd of June 2013, a crisis to go down in the history of musical theatre occurred. The female lead, Christine Daee, in London's best loved musical, the Phantom of The Opera, was found dead in her hotel room after the magnificent first show's finale. Phillipa Jones, who played the role, had previously been telling the rest of the cast outlandish rumours of a face appearing behind her mirror - as the Phantom did to Christine's in the play.

Distraught, yet convinced the دکھائیں must go on, the director (who will remain unnamed) forced her understudy to...

RAOUL
No مزید talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
my words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here with you, beside you,
to guard آپ and to guide you...

CHRISTINE
Say آپ love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime...
Say آپ need me with آپ now and always...
Promise me that all آپ say is true
that's all I ask of you

RAOUL
Let me be your shelter
let me be your light
You're safe, No one will find you
your fears are far behind you...

CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom,
a world with no مزید night
and you, always...

This was written for the Featuring Luciana challenge. The challenge: Write a oneshot story describing Luciana's thoughs on Erik, shortly before her death.

“I want آپ to take off the mask. Please take off the mask.”

    I am standing in front of Erik, begging him to remove the mask that hides his face from me. I want to know his face, to see him.

    “You must excuse me, mademoiselle. I have work to finish.”

    The nerve of him! “I will not excuse you! آپ don’t have work to finish! I want آپ to take off...

I was watching the silent Lon Chaney version of "The Phantom of the Opera" earlier on TCM, and I began to do some pondering about the many Phantom movies.

When someone thinks of The Phantom of the Opera, often there are two iconic تصاویر that will come to mind. One is the famous unmasking of Lon Chaney, rightfully recognized as one of the very iconic تصاویر of not only horror, but of cinema itself. His face makeup is taken from the original novel's تفصیل of Erik, as someone with a horrible deformity from birth that gives him a terrifying corpse-like appearance.

The سیکنڈ iconic image...

Hi everyone, it's been coming to 9 years since I watched the musical in Singapore. I have always want to write this review of the stage version since I had did a comparison on both the movie and stage version!

The Staging

I was stunned سے طرف کی the staging because it was such a spectacular, colourful and whimsical, I also like how each scenes represent dark & light throughout the musical. It was like bringing the realism of what it's like of Palais de Garnier, on which the story is set.
One of my major disappointments was that I did not sit in front where the dramatic chandelier came crashing...

I have seen T.P.O.T.O many times, and most of them have been the 25th anniversary performance. This performance is by-far my favorite. Ramin Kariloo is the BEST Phantom I have ever seen. Sierra Boggess is also the best Christine. Hadley Fraser is one of the best Raoul's I have seen. Even Meg and Madame Giry were fantastic. Carlotta was probably my least پسندیدہ actress. I enjoyed this performance so much better because the actors seemed like they were literally their characters. I hope آپ enjoyed this and آپ can watch the entire performance on youtube. Thanks!

There are various interpretations of why the old Raoul brings the monkey موسیقی box to her grave and some even think that all the old Raoul parts of the movie are completely useless. However, I'm one of those who believe that while the film would've worked perfectly well even without Raoul travelling anywhere with the موسیقی box, all the old Raoul clips are perhaps the most essential aspect of the entire film's basic point. I think they are the ultimate aspect that drastically differs the film from the stage play.

A monkey symbolizes many things that are strongly related to the story. Essential...

Carlotta is writen as a horrid character. She tells rumors and plans schemes to eliminate christine as her competition. I think what is often overlooked is that Carlotta is one of the so many victims of the book. From what is written آپ can tell that Carlotta was extremely talented as an opera singer as the book mentions how perfect an instrument her voice was. She had the misfortune to be ill and be replaced سے طرف کی someone far مزید loved and adored than herself, that in itself is enough to make anyone mad, take a دن of sick and your job isnt waiting for آپ when آپ get back. Not only was she...

It is no secret that I'm not fond of Love Never Dies. I don't like the idea of ALW making a sequel to a دکھائیں that had no need of one, I don't like the fact that although a good portion of the موسیقی (while fairly pretty) has been recycled یا pinched from other sources while Wee Andy brags about how it's the best thing he's ever done and it's SO original, and I especially am appalled سے طرف کی what has been done to the characters. However, as it exists and it is impossible to avoid it in the fandom یا erase it from my memory, I have decided that I must analyze it and try to figure out just what in the...

The Haunted Mansion ride at Disney has always been one of my favourite things, and Phantom tops the فہرست at #1 fave thing. And a while back I started noticing really heavy similarities between the two things and I found many of them interesting. I thought I would share these observations here, so that others might enjoy the coincidences, یا homages if you'd care to take it that way.

We will begin in the Foyer. Above the fireplace hangs a portrait where a young gentleman (presumably Master Gracey) hangs. It is here that the unseen guide for the attraction first makes his presence known.
