Just to add a little additional supporting information:- The performance you hear in the video is given by an amateur youth theatre company based here in the UK. All of the actors on stage are in or around their late teens. The orchestra comprises a mix of music students, semi-professional musicians and professional musicians. You will notice that the 'signature' organ, drums and electric guitar are missing from the ensemble. This is a requirement of the license and not the choice of the company. These instruments are covered using click tracks which are provided by the licence owner. My guess is that this is intended to ensure consistency in reproduction of the famous and instantly recognisable theme tune......or it might be simply to avoid booking an extra couple of musicians who would otherwise be sat doing nothing for the rest of the show. Either way - it's an amazing show and these kids did an amazing job every night for what turned out to be a sell-out run.

I came here to make the observation about the sampled pieces. Your explanation makes perfect sense.

I always thought the "organ" was a synth and almost never real except maybe when it was at Royal Albert. It sure never seemed real as it sounded Korg and such. But it may also explain why when they perform in a large place with a really nice organ, it is usually not used except maybe as a prop. I think the ultimate Phantom performance some day will be at Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall in a few years when Midmer-Losh is finally finished with its decades long restoration. (Disclaimer: Scientific obs ahead) 武汉-利伯-N1H1-SARS-COV-2 had not became known at this time in 2017. But at Harvard, Dr. Charles Lieber had already started getting $50,000 per month from nation of China and they also provided a Captain Zheng of People's Army plus Lt. Ye who ferried biologicals between Wuhan and Boston. DOJ arrested Zheng and Lieber and charged them with felonies for their scheme. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/harvard-university-professor-and-two-chinese-nationals-charged-three-separate-china-related Lt. Ye of People's Army got away, making a final run back to China with a box of biologicals. www.fbi.gov/wanted/counterintelligence/yanqing-ye Ye is on the top 10 FBI most wanted. In just a couple years of this production, we would have 武汉-利伯-N1H1-SARS-COV-2 and nothing like this would ever be produced again like it going forward.

@@ngck You can seen the conductor give the (very obvious) cue to the keyboard player on the right when title song starts. She then pushes the click-track or sample. I suspect it's uploaded in her keyboard because I don't see anything else there. What's also very obvious is that nobody else is playing their instrument at that particular moment.

For an amateur youth production this performance is amazing. Given a few more years, the minor pitch issues that pop up will be obsolete, and those singers will have a bright future ahead of them in future professional productions. As a brass musician, the pit sounded superb with a good balance between all the instruments. Can't blame them for reading and looking at their phones, as long as they hit their entrances and it's not a distraction to other players around them. Nice job everyone.

You mean the flat and wavering notes he was hitting? He had good moments, but... Nah. He was better than the Christine who was all over the place and could not figure out how to navigate her vibrato in any way throwing her off pitch constantly. It seems like she was constantly fighting her voice rather than just letting it out.

I've never played in a pit but I can see it has a few upsides over a traditional orchestral performance, which I've done countless times over the years. You don't have to worry about attire nearly as much, you can use your phone during rests and you can bring drinks with you That said it looks like it is often pretty cramped and the lighting doesn't seem to be too good either.
@MrMoogey4 жыл бұрын
Yeah. It really boils down to the type of set up the theater has. Some/most are in front below the floors (that smog machine is awful). This is more amateur so looks like they’re backstage which has limited space, hence looking cramped. Attire depends on conductors. Some, like this isn’t concerned about folks’ outfits. Some require concert dress the first night. Some require black only. The stand light is sufficient. Phones, not so much and are distracting but a book, magazine, newspaper, crossword is fine. Having played the violin book far too many times to count, I get more satisfaction than a regular orchestra. Highly advise folks play at least once in a pit.
@adam47574 жыл бұрын
Where does the cymbal crash at 03:32 and 03:39 come from? The percussionist is playing the timpani and does not hit the cymbals, yet there are two crashes and I can't see another percussionist. Is it from one of the keyboard players?
@davedrums4fun4 жыл бұрын
Yes. There are various bits of percussion written into the keys pad. If you look closely, you can see the keyboard closest to the percussion playing the clash cymbals. In most cases it makes sense due to the percussion part already being busy, but there are a couple of instances where that wasn’t the case which is a little odd. I can only imagine there was some logic to it at the point at which it was orchestrated.

The last note (E6) is usually recorded so that the actress playing Christine doesn't damage her voice (it gets quite tiring for the voice to perform that at least 8 time a week). I believe that they can decide to sing it at there own risk but they usually don't. They might decide to sing it if it's a special occasion (opening night, closing night, ect). If I am not mistaken this should be the Phantom of the Opera UK Tour meaning they have several "closing nights" (when they finish in one location and move to the next) and I saw a comment saying that this was their final show in Derby so maybe the Christine wanted to do something special for her last show there. Regarding the overture (when the chandelier rises from the stage): it, unfortunately, is pre-recorded. The orchestra merges into it at a certain point (like half way through). Apparently it is pre-recorded because of: "The Overture is taped because of technical aspects with the chandelier.". I don't really know what the technical aspects would be but there you go, hope I helped :)

everyone does that. it gets really boring sitting through 5+ practices, 6-10 hours a day, where most of the time is spent with the director just telling people what to do on the stage. eventually, people memorize the cues, so there is little chance of actually missing the start of a song to texting or playing games on a phone.

Yeah, there's no issue with texting - just don't miss a cue! I play in a heap if shows and I'm always reading a book when I'm not playing.

You're right. I was wincing the whole time. Christine's high note at 15:10 was more than a bit under too, enough so that I wondered if she was comping by singing a step low. I saw Dave Shipley's response to one of the other commenters and learned that these were teens. Not bad for teens. I guess we could take into consideration that this was closing night and their voices were probably wore slap out after some nights of singing this. Most teens don't have the training to care for their voices for singing this score days on end. I know I didn't when I was a teen, and I was pretty doggone good back in the day.

Does anyone happen to know if this is an amateur or a professional production? The orchestra is rather good! - But the singing personnel... Well, I just hope they are amateurs. Otherwise they wouldn't justify the expensive entrance fees for a professional production. I hate to say it, but especially the actress playing Christine is certainly not up to professional standards. Her final high E at the end of the title song! My own shrieking at that sound could easily have been as asthmatic as hers! For amateur standards the singing would be fine but not for a professional performance!

Carsten Lorentz Thanks for the question. It might have been better to wait for the answer (or read the existing comments) before passing judgement though. This is a youth theatre performance. Everyone on stage is under 18 and they’re all incredible. The orchestra is a mixture of music students, semi-pros and pros.

What’s the youth theatre called? They’re amazing for late teens
