Far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart cannot resist.
The musical opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre on 9 October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles, and there have been dozens of productions worldwide since then. Now in its 35th record-breaking year, The Phantom of the Opera continues to captivate audiences at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End, after more than 11,000 performances.

I Always wished I could go to a party like this.

[@MyHeartHeardMusic]

Is it me, or do I just like the fact that Erik was dressed as Red Death, and Raoul was dressed as a prince.... ...A prince is who Red Death kills in Poe's story.

[@PhantomhiveT]

I love how Raoul just runs off at 1:45, like, "Um, okay, Red Death, I'm just gonna go, you good Christine, you good? Okay good, later." XD

[@KingIshimaru]

"Guys? Do you think we might wanna go easy on the masquerades while the masked psychotic is still living in the basement? I mean, every time there's an event he sort of walks right in and out again." "We haven't seen him in a while, man, lighten up!"

[@ritzel345]

You notice something when christine and the phantom are staring at eachother for a long time. when the camera flashes to madame giry you see everyone else all panicked. but madame giry knows that there is something more between the two.

[@garbagemancole2554]

I remember when I went to a masquerade, unfortunately we didn't have a man dressed as the red death crash the party.

[@sarah-annbird8044]

i love how he sings softly, "fondest greeting to you all" while touching his sword

[@whiteXrose21]

I love it how the phantom gets cocky with the sword in his hand! Rep! XD

[@MsDaydream3r]

when he says "why so silent?" I just keep thinking of the joker saying "why so serious?" :)

[@whiteXrose21]

sometimes we all need dramatic music to indicate our footsteps

[@argusprimus]

lol, Raol is like "youve got this right?" and then takes off. i know it wasnt really like that but you can imagin lol

[@danigirl800]

Hmm, I'd be in the middle of the crowd saying, "God! the phantoms sexy!"

[@taya89]

I LOVE when the Phantom starts singing, the throb from the drums turns into the low and deep hum from the strings... pure genius.

[@CrazeddancerMomiji]

I've always loved how the conductor was up there keeping everyone on time. It's like they all got together and said "Hey, let's have this masquerade but we're an opera company so it's gotta be flashy! Rehearsals are 7-9 M-F, people! We gotta open with a choreographed number performed just for us!"

[@kelswalker5414]

funny how everytime he takes a step (phantom) it makes a sound

[@vivianarojas40]

If you look closely you'll see that he's buckling on a SWORD BELT. He wanted to fight the Phantom, he wasn't running away or going to the bathroom.

[@LittleBohoChick]

Aww, when he looks at Christine, all he's evil intentions vanish in the air

[@MissEdge102]

"You belong to me" give me shivers every time (not to mention the really cool exit)

[@liljokerhaha1]

The Phantom should have said THIS IS OPERA!!!! and then kicked Raul into the hall of mirrors.

[@WarriorOfMusic15]

I think its because he's the only one that truly believes shes a good performer. Raoul never mentioned her singing career much did he? All the Phantom talks about is how wonderful she is

[@lilypad12322]

When i first saw this i honestly thought Raoul was leaving to hide or run away or something...especially with that "good luck" tap he gave her.

[@themusic199]

I had never noticed until today that this was inspired by "The Masque of the Red Death" by Poe. Now I can appreciate both even more.

[@KUCaldog187]

Gerard is a good phantom

[@Lala16ss]

Dramatic sound effect when descending down the stairs. Need that !

[@kaitlynrausch1371]

And because she knows the phantom is basically harmless but he's so in love with the girl. Madame Giry was the one who saved him from his terrible childhood

[@Melstrife]

Always one of my favorite scenes on the stage and in the movie. Gerard Butler does a great job with this scene. Always wanted to be Christine because he just looks at her with pure adore! Love it!

[@bellscomstock5797]

Gerard is one of the best actors of all time

[@EnterElysium]

We goes to get his rapier to duel. Such is the culture, rather brave considering the Phantoms rep.

[@StorytellerMatt]

After multiple viewings of this film, I notice subtleties in faces. I love the way Madame Giry watches the Phantom, and the heartbreak on her face as he draws close to Christine--no secret she's in love (as we learn in her later monologue). It also makes her sung line "And what a masquerade!" which comes earlier, resonate more.

[@MrsBlack88]

Imagine the sexual tension in this room when Christine started walking towards the Phantom

[@Sharavis]

God I love him. The poor guy just has serious communication issues, it could work!! Love that entrance!!

[@MyPlaylistPerson]

There are some awesome camera angles in this scene. The music is amazing as well.

[@tanukigalpa]

What's terrible is that she also loves Raoul (as shown by the ENGAGEMENT RING AROUND HER NECK) but when one is out of the room she chooses the other, when the other is out of the room she chooses the one. It's very sad because Erik looks down and she's practically throwing the engagement and herself at him at the same time.

[@Sleepinglily]

1:42 Raoul's all like, "I'll be back, I gotta go water my plants."

[@londonrobinson2922]

2:44 Christine doesn't seem scared of him at all; she looks pretty... Loving.

[@loitagrl12]

She was going to go for it- WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT AT THE END!?

[@ElderGrimm1994]

I gotta say, that skull mask is pretty cool.

[@midnightstwilight]

Raoul is sweet and all but I'm cheering for the Phantom!

[@Phoenix61310]

I love how the music pauses for a moment then switches to the Phantom's Song.

[@ThatOneIsaac]

Yes, even though practically everyone in Paris is there, they won't touch the Phantom out of sheer terror. That's his secret weapon.

[@mjvoigts]

EVERY time one of them starts to soften the other (Erik and Christine), one of them does something completely STUPID (like in this scene, Erik ripping off Christine's necklace and saying "You belong to me!"). Veeeery frustrating...!!

[@the15thoftheNOAH]

Ok, who the HELL clicked the dislike button?! This is one of my favorite songs from the movie! We gon drop a chanderlear on this fool.

[@katypayne5501]

I swear the next time I crash a party, this is how it's going to go down

[@zubatlover45]

I love the way Christine and Raoul are watching everyone like, "LOL! They look so dorky spontaneously breaking out into song and dancing! Good thing WE don't do that!"

[@gustavomartinsdesouza5548]

I just need that mask...

[@OPrimeandKupfan]

The Phantom is making an Edgar Allen Poe's "Masque of the red death" style point, and that crowd knows it! listen to them gasp in shock, horror and even disgust!

[@niftynafter]

The Phantom took a break in order to design his new mask and cloths :D

[@corkscrewfork]

Really Raoul? Either you have your weapon to begin with or you don't abandon the chick who has TOLD YOU the Phantom's after her. Hell, even Piangi stepped in front of Carlotta when Erik started in on her. Raoul? Upstairs, try again when it's convenient.

[@stannisbaratheon5528]

I would kill for a full version of 3:00

[@jasoya_gaming]

Had you missed me good monsieurs, I have written you an opera! Here I bring the finished score, THE KING IN YELLOW!!! Everyone goes insane.

[@JikaInFamous]

Best entrance ever, all the men harrased by his presence and all the women tingling with expectations

[@purplehearts875]

I remember the first time I saw this scene, the gold things at 1:05 freaked me out more than the actual phantom did XD

[@OPrimeandKupfan]

The Phantom just made an Edgar Allen Poe's "Masque of the red death" style point, and that crowd knows it! listen to them gasp in shock, horror and even disgust! you'd have to have read Masque of the red death By Edgar Allen Poe to know what I mean! I read it, I know!

[@derpyhooves4914]

how did they know its him? the random music playing when he shows up?!

[@marshanahrai97]

The Phantom looked so FINE in this seen. I'd let you be my teacher!!!!

[@calihoyer1415]

I love how Raoul wears his jacket off one shoulder. I never knew that was possible.

[@celesteburt8826]

I think he ran off to get his sword. At 3:24 you can kinda see that he's buckling his sword onto his belt.

[@cankcorn]

I LOVE THIS MUSICAL!!!!

[@cloudydae]

I bet if he took off that mask he'd look like a panda...

[@thewierdoneout]

Yeah, until he ruined the moment by ripping off her ring/necklace and saying she belonged to him. If he hadn't been such a douche right then, the story might just have ended differently.

[@PrincessCupcake3]

in the 25th anniversary the costume is so awesome and creepy plus the way he shows up! EPIC! I LOVE THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!

[@cadethawk1]

i wish i had an awsome verse play whenever i entered a room

[@xMinuet]

i cant believe my highschool is lucky enough to perform this entire musical :)!

[@TNTDynamiteTNTNikki]

Carlotta Is Enjoying Their Dancing--- Girl Almost Fell Down The Stairs!!

[@blockmasterscott]

The ultimate gate crasher....

[@chocoheartt]

My moms best friend, and her whole family have planned dancing at their parties haha

[@AkamaraLamia]

Watched the musical in London.... Phantom of the opera is one of the best musicals i ever saw and i love it!!!!! thank you for psoitng this video!

[@MrsBlack88]

"Wait here, KFC is closing in 5 minutes."

[@vamp1024]

What was Christine thinking? You're so much better. Braver, sexier, and you can SING. :)

[@NenadlPopovic]

THE BEST PHANTOM!

[@cbarrrus2]

0:54 Me when I'm late to work.

[@Gramilla250500]

I want his costume! Especially his mask!

[@guppygirl1000]

For some reason, 1:06 makes me think "DON'T BLINK."

[@738kathleena]

Yes and in the end she kinda chooses him but he lets her go, you know after the kiss when her tells them to go...

[@tidepoolpotions]

Red and black is the most sexiest colors on a man...I love his outfit in this part.

[@Xpancakes12X]

i want this at my engagement party

[@faixkurogane]

Gotta love a witty, murderous stalker! :D

[@RandomBooksXD]

At first I wasn't sure how I felt about the movie version, (this is my first time ever seeing anything of it) However, after watching this, I am pleased :)

[@kateharden1895]

i lovveee this movie!

[@analusilvaj]

"I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you", said Raoul while he leave the toilet! ¬¬

[@mylesag2]

Gerard Butler is fantastic. The SEXIEST Phantom of ALL time!!

[@Jenivi224]

I just realised the hilt on the Phantoms sword is a skull. :D

[@ponyrellabellasara]

1:46 perfect time to leave Roaul! CONGRATULATIONS!

[@Opulentdreamer]

he might be crazy but that's how I take my men

[@MsTripleFff]

"If pride will let her return to her teacher." God I wish I had a teacher like that. Awkward teacher fetish emerging.

[@benia2499]

Raul's like, "Well, I'm out."

[@EMOLOVE23ful]

you had me at Angel of Music

[@RaNd0mChicklife]

The whole phantom and Christine the id just so romantic!!!!! ♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡ ^0^

[@MicMic18]

I know right! It was perfect and Christine was starting to like him a little then he had to do something stupid! He should have just shut up right after saying Your teacher and she might have given him a chance.

[@TheDamien583]

This wasposted on my birthday

[@DJMan547]

HIS CAPE!!!! I WANT IT

[@haley188118118]

my school did phantom as our musical last year and it was amazing all together but this was the most fun scene for sure omg

[@meghanstewart1747]

You can't say no Gerard Butler, even if he's dressed as the phantom

[@glittergrasshopper1144]

I always wanted the Phantom's classic outfit :(

[@kathy4963]

OMG this is my favorite scene! Bravissimo

[@rebekahrainbowunicorn245]

i had this great dream last night that i was looking for someone in the crowd, when i found the phantom, touched his mask, and then he ran...well the last part wasn't happy.

[@quelzinhaclv]

Essa cena é linda demais, eles nas escadas sem palavras!!!

[@florenciamoreira7959]

[@susannajackson137]
