About:
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 30th 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.

Listening to this after a couple of years, I'm actually quite impressed with Carlotta and understand why the company would have been keeping her on despite her dramatics, haha... Her part ( even when she's "speaking") sits quite high all the time and this little bit from "Il Muto," whoever is supposed to have composed it, is like an echo of Mozart - and not at all easy to sing, with all those little staccato flourishes!

[@cutsieproductions4805]

Inés de Erausquin Thanks for finally saying it!

[@theclairebaire]

Phantom was lusting Christine and in earlier versions of Phantom apparently Phantom was sleeping with Carlotta before Christine came along into the picture

[@elizabethharkness9197]

In the Lloyd Webber-Joel Schumacher 2004 film version, she was played by Minnie Driver. Due to Driver's lack of experience in opera, her singing voice was dubbed by opera singerMargaret Preece, although she lent her actual voice to the song "Learn to Be Lonely" during the end credits.

[@specialunit0428]

[@silverkitty2503]

Its terrible singing in real life she wouldn't even be in the chorus. No idea who it is singing ...but sure its just a movie :)

[@Niniane17]

You know, it's not that I don't understand that in-universe this is supposed to be a waste of Christine's talent...but the thing is, this is the perfect casting! The Countess is a spoiled brat who "struts around the stage" while "Serafimo" can only express himself through his body, which is a very fitting part for a young dancer like Christine. Switching their roles would have made no sense, it would have been awful and all the comic effect would have been lost. Erik, stop thinking with your other head!

[@BestMMORPG2017-games]

Hmmm so the Opera Populaire wanted to stage a bawdy sex comedy with gender bender, that's why they needed Charlotte instead of Christine. Judging from the audience reaction, they were loving it.

[@inesdeerausquin5658]

Best MMORPG 2017 the gender- bender bit is quite typical of 18th century opera, which this purports to be; witness Mozart's Marriage of Figaro or later, Thomas' Mignon, both of which have pageboys played by mezzo-sopranos. In Figaro there's a very similar scene to this where the Countess and Susanna dress Cherubino (the page, ergo a girl playing a boy) as a girl, to hide him from the Count's somewhat-deserved wrath. Trust opera for that... And much earlier, men would play ALL the parts in opera, including the girls! Shakespeare's actors would have done that too.

My thoughts about Il Muto is that the Phantom sought to draw a comparison between the "faithless" countess and Christine, who has to choose between the old, decrepit husband (Phantom, unattractive) and the mute lover (Raoul, attractive, but cannot sing). That Carlotta plays the countess would ruin the Phantom's scheme.

[@ingridmay66]

@@amandategner1314 The 25th anniversary is a concert... I know some people prefer the musical version because it's with well- trained singers. It's a live show and they need to be experienced and perfect. Singing on stage is always more powerful and dramatic. The 2004 movie is the more realistic version of the story with the characters. The phantom has been living under the opera house for years and years and he probably only got to observe the other opera singers, he had no teacher. If you think about what his character has gone through, and the fact that this genius person was able to learn all the things he learned on his own, including singing, then his voice is very suitable for the film. Sir Webber casted someone with a raw untamed voice to be Phantom because that's realistic given his backstory and how he grew up. Andrew himself said he wanted to have a different type of phantom. Gerard Butler has an amazing voice, but he is an actor first. By the way, Some may not know that voice styles like Michael Crawford (his voice was soft and not threatening) and Ramin Karimloo were not Andrew Webber's initial vision of the Phantom. In fact, Steve Harley was the initial prime candidate for the role of the Phantom.😆

[@amandategner1314]

@@ingridmay66 oh yeah. I have heard Crawfords performance. I loved it… and as much as I agree. Michel was not a good phantom for his voice. More for his range like in the all I ask of you reprise. He holds the note in 10 seconds. 25th version held it in 6 because he didn’t breath before doing it. Butler only held it in 4. And he’s called Angel of music so he needs some more.
