14 - The Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall is a 2011 British film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical The Phantom of the Opera, which in turn was based on the French novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by Gaston Leroux.

To mark the extraordinary milestone of 25 years, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Mackintosh planned a special 3-day production to take place at London's Royal Albert Hall in October 2011. Designer Matt Kinley initially planned to hold a concert-style production not unlike the Les Misérables 25th Anniversary concert at the O2 Arena, but Mackintosh made it clear the show would be fully staged, as both he and Lloyd Webber felt it would not work unless it was the whole show. As a result, the event was planned as a full show.

I enjoy watching The Phantom of the Opera. Actually I don’t like theatre acts but this one is just so amazing.  Their singing skills are so amazing and it came to the point that whenever they’re singing I felt goosebumps. Sierra Boggess really did a great job portraying Christine Daaé. She is so beautiful and when she sings you’ll feel like you’re in heaven because of her beautiful voice.

Almost all of the songs are so good, but my favorite are the “Think of Me”, “Angel of Music”, “Music of the Night”, and “The Phantom of the Opera.” And my favorite part is when Brightman sang "The Phantom of the Opera" with five Phantoms.

I like the story of The Phantom of the Opera. It shows how love should end with. To me I want Christine Daaé to be with the phantom. I think the phantom is so kind but desperation rules him. Desperate to have Christine. But all in all, it’s so amazing and the whole casts and crews really did great to produce this kind of theatre act.
