The Phantom of Music

I finally watched The phantom of the opera in its entirety, and I was once again shocked by those songs by Webber. I imagined that maybe one day, when a dusty crystal chandelier rejuvenated with time, the struggling feelings, the persistent pursuit and The crazy and paranoid love will melt the ice flowers in the heart at the moment when the music sounds. Amazed by the beauty of Christine's debut like a princess, Qingyue's singing voice swirled in her dream, splashing her eyes behind the mask. This is a very successful song and dance drama, although it still has the shadow of too heavy stage play, although the plot itself seems a little pale when the music becomes the worthy protagonist, and the flaws are not concealed, not to mention this is the most emotional dedication of Webber's life From time to time, I can hear the eternal call in All I ask of you: Love me, that's all I ask of you.

The Phantom of the Opera quotes

  • The Phantom: [to Christine of Raoul] His life is now the prize which you must earn!

  • Madame Giry: He welcomes you to his opera house...

    Firmin: His opera house?

    Madame Giry: ...and commands that you continue to leave box 5 empty for his use. And reminds you that his salary is due.

    Firmin: His salary?

    Madame Giry: Well, Monsieur Lefevre used to give him 20,000 francs a month.

    Firmin: [grabs note from Andre] 20,000 francs?

    Madame Giry: Perhaps you can afford more? With the Vicomte as your patron?

    Firmin: Madame, I had hoped to make that announcement public tonight when the Vicomte was to join us for the gala. But obviously we shall now have to cancel, as it appears we have lost our star. A full house, Andre. We shall have to refund a full house!

    Madame Giry: Christine Daae could sing it, sir.

    Andre: A chorus girl? Don't be silly.
