Synopsis

This voice comes from the "ghost" who lives in the labyrinth under the theater, who falls in love with the actress Christine, secretly teaches her to sing, and helps her get the position of heroine, while Christine loves the theater agent Raoul, which causes a series of plots such as jealousy, chase, murder and so on. In the end, the "ghost" discovers that his love for Christine has exceeded his personal possessiveness, so he frees Christine, leaving behind a cloak and mask, and disappears alone in the dim underground labyrinth.

The music of the play is written extremely successfully, mysteriously and beautifully. The first one: "Think of me" will catch your heart, and then "The Phantom of Opera" and "The Music of the Night" have become classics of musical theater.

Romantic tidbits

The Phantom of the Opera premiered on 9 October 1986 at the Queen's Theatre in London, England, with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman as the male and female protagonists, and has been produced in 16 productions worldwide to date.

Think of that year in Sarah. Brightman or Andrew. When Lloyd Weber was married, her beautiful soprano gave Weber a lot of inspiration, and Sarah Brightman also made her eternal Christine inside and outside the play with her performance of "The Phantom of the Opera", known as the "Chief Red Man".

Weber's use of notes of a fusion of old and new is perhaps appropriate, as he retrieves a long-lost rainbow in the streams and shards, and the 2004 version of the film seems to be back to the beginning of the sound era. One timbre and one vocal seem to have become a word, and their relatively independent and exuded information has made this magnificent chapter of the original soundtrack, and together they have supported the resurrection of the narrative of Broadway song and dance. Strictly speaking, Phantom of the Theatre represents the freedom and choice of love, which may also be a technical consideration, because it is free, simple, and diverse.
