Final Scene & Bows - Phantom of the Opera Conductor Cam

Phantom of the Opera

[@artyzach]

AT 0:10 OH NOOOOO I FEEL THE FEAR SHUDDER THROUGH THE GIRL PLAYING CHRISTINE... WHEN SHE PAUSED HER NOTE BECAUSE SHE HEARD SHE WAS OFF KEY FROM THE WINDS. But still a very professional and good call :D *applauds* Also loved how you gave the downbeat and casually walked out while conducting at 10:05 for your curtain call XD Thanks for uploading these videos though, it's always amazing to see what goes on in the "pit" or "backstage" in these type of musical productions.

[@brxzbze]

That's a really common area to mess up, actually -- I've heard people in professional productions go _way_ off there too

[@TheOscarFrancois]

I like it when the Phantom hit the floor and smashed it in agony and pain of losing Christine. It’s another interpretation no one has done yet, or so I haven’t seen. It’d be nicer though had he left a few seconds before started singing, “Christine, I love you...”

[@PatrickKCompton]

Love this Kris! Had to be the last show, everyone's erasing notes, lol. I hate that part after a close! Take care! :)

[@martinbenson5423]

why do the musicians do this??? surely the scores are theirs, and the notes would be helpful for next time?

[@edwah2004]

@@martinbenson5423 Usually the scores are rented for the production so all marks have to be removed before they are returned.

[@davidleavitt835]

I'm mildly surprised that no one made photocopies of the sheet music; one ink pen mark and no good.

[@Monk018_CS]

@@davidleavitt835 Typically there are disclaimers in the front of the books forbidding photocopies... So a commercial store will not be able to copy them legally.

[@disneydanny2]

interesting hearing the playout so early (it's always started after the Phantom takes his bow)

[@elenafavalr3753]

4:31 im wheezing just as he slaps the floor it goes to a commercial about glue lmaoooo 😂

[@laurenwybacz1479]

Amazing music

[@cblodg1]

Always great to see the musicians. Felt like the horns were off in places? Not sure though. Nice job all around, though.

[@Dabaka93]

I have the feeling that the choir hadn't practiced (Based on your face at around 4:12 and then after that passage :D )

[@tommasocecchetti4316]

wonderful but how did you get the sheet music?

[@juliusmarx0804]

You have to rent a license for the whole musical

[@juliusmarx0804]

MTI has all rights

[@areyounatz]

They rented the materials, thus all the erasure actions. Could be the last show, and everyone wants to return their scores ASAP. Lol

[@troianbutler]

What theatre is this?

[@CR-dq1ch]

I read on another video that it was a school's production.

[@0danishdrummer0]

Is a School allowed to play Phantom?? I don’t Think so...

[@katli4806]

@@0danishdrummer0 Why wouldn't they be?

[@elphbwckd212]

@@katli4806 because the rights are not publically available. At least in the US. Most shows don't release the rights to amateur productions and until the Broadway run is over. I know the rights to Phantom have been available to amateur productions in a couple other countries, like Australia, but not in the US at this time, unless they were given specific permission from Andrew Lloyd Webber's productive n company.

[@0danishdrummer0]

Kathy Li because of the rights, and the “rules” for setting it up.. i know someone at a theater who worked with this musical, and there was so many rules and “restrictions” in the contract, it seems crazy that a School could set it up 😅

[@SifoDillas]

I have to ask: Why some musicians gum on their score during the performance ?

[@ecpi.x]

same question on my mind

[@traceywatson2092]

After the last show of a production, the musicians are required to return their music books. They must be clear of all pencil markings, so they are erasing their books as they go through the performance.

[@ecpi.x]

@@traceywatson2092 Oh thanks for this info. But why during the performance? lol

[@traceywatson2092]

So they can leave as quickly as possible!

[@grandpepere]

The scores are rented along with the rights to perform them. This is the last show.

[@Christknight1991]

So no more orchestra pit???

[@JMRSplatt]

Some of these parts are so ridiculous... does any pit get them 100%?? I doubt it. Nice job!!! The 4/4 that says it's in 8 for whatever reason.. shifting 3/2 to 6 or 3... odd time signature placements. ... many mistakes in the percussion part for Timpani note changes. Ooof. Keyboardist with the erase as you go on the last night efficiency. nice.

[@royalty8380]

Shame there's no pit for orchestra. They have to be recorded by microphone

[@juliusmarx0804]

That wouldn’t be different in a pit

[@jm726t]

Where is this?

[@sundus928]

What happened to the Phantom after 4:00 😭😂😂😂
