Erik : Charles Dance

[@katerinapetrova9745]

Thumbs up if you would chose Erik instead of Philipe! :D

[@theatrekidwithinternetacce704]

IN A DAMN HEARTBEAT.

[@CuteDwarf11]

I'll choose him over Philippe anytime!

[@rubena23tw]

yes…😗

[@seattlered3018]

Nope, I'm a sucker for blonde guys lol but I have to acknowledge Eric's passion and beautiful voice.

[@GwenniferPhalange]

In this version, yes.

[@karenpinson759]

This scene is amazing. The translation in French is that she is telling the Phantom that she loves him and that he is her heart. He responds in kind. This is why the Count doesn't look very happy because they are both declaring their love to one another. Though I know both of the voices are dubbed in, both actors had to learn these songs in French, as well as act the scene realistically, a major accomplishment. I HATE how the movie ends, but this scene makes the movie worth it. I LOVE THIS SCENE. The music is gorgeous. The sentiment looks so real.

[@MiaMellow24]

I love Philippe's face. He's like "I can't make her sing like that."

[@Kairi271]

I also like how Erik doesn't give two fucks about being seen. I also like how the police chief let's them have their moment.

[@MNAvenger]

Well, at least the orchestra and the guy playing Meph know the phrase "The show must go on."

[@jamesrfb6459]

The look of sheer happiness on Erik's face as he realizes he has won Christine's (trembling!) heart is priceless. What a wonderful performance here by both actors.

[@Irgendjemand1986]

And Raoul's face... 🤣😂

[@aileenteo7027]

It's truly priceless.

[@teamplasmaelite]

I love how casually Erik jumps down from the box and takes Christine XD

[@Kairi271]

When I first saw this song I was so surprised and awed when the Phantom started to sing because this was seriously the firs time in the movie. His voice is gorgeous. I can't get over their duet. His vibrato. Ugh. I just go and fangirl in a corner.

[@blackmagd]

Yeah. I fell in love with opera & phantom after that duet. Its so so breathtaking &soultouching! So amazing. Its like they made love singing... With passion & desperate deep affections (I guess thats why Raoul looks so jealous ^^). Stunning. Masterpiece all times.

[@cje24576]

May seem like a stupid question, but which part is vibrato? And yes, his voice is fantastic!

[@pookiesg]

***** Vibrato is when the singer produces a tremulous or pulsating effect in their voice

[@Aliceuhhh-rq6gw]

Kairi271 No, I believe he also sang in a scene earlier than this one

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

He's coughing and dying, and yet he can still sing a duet! I love it!

[@lilanthia]

My God, if I found a guy singing like that to me and picking me up to carry me off like the romantic hero Erik is; I'd yell to everyone... 'Bloody leave us alone! If I was a damsel in distress, I'd let you KNOW!' I'm amazed Erik could sing all that without coughing.

[@CrazyGood88]

Ten years later and I am cracking up at this comment still. Lol! Ditto!

[@taylorsampson3702]

I love how at 6:27, Christine isn't even bothered that he picked her up. Her face and body language basically says: OK, let's get out of here. You know the drill.

[@CuteDwarf11]

Erik's expression as he realizes that Christine loves him and is passionately declaring it to him during their duet is a sight to behold.

[@Rurushufan2010]

@phangirl1986 I agree. In the song, Christine sings "Yes, it's you whom I love." while Erik sings "Yes, it's me, I love you." This scene always made me tear up for it's beauty and meaning

[@nicolescott89]

I love the Erik and Christine moments in this film. like the little looks he gives her or the tendor touches or moments when he wants to hold her touch but is surprised. when she's getting ready and he says 'don't worry I've never seen such perfection' and then the look of tender love mixed with passion is just so well done. Also talking about the bistro and helping her with her dress jusy great moments. All the Christine and Erik moments even the ones when he's angry are great. Some of his one liners are great. I love this film of Phantom

[@theatrekidwithinternetacce704]

When is this 'such perfection' line? I haven't looked at many videos and I'm curious about this (recently found this series)

[@navidnamini1169]

You can feel the love between Erik and Christine. Such a beautiful scene

[@amidala904]

his voice is just so beautiful i can't even. and i love how christine is just trembling with emotion after they finish singing. i love this scene so much

[@CamilleNadia]

I love how even though they're startled at first, the orchestra and the audience just goes with it.

[@101wolfanime]

Erik is singing even though he is dying...My heart can't take it!!!!!

[@nicolescott89]

I was like I can't take this either. I loved Erik in this one. roaul is a ladies man and I don't think cares for her or her talent as Erik does. I'm glad they sang together with such emotion passion and love. I love this film and the Erik and Christine moments

[@101wolfanime]

+Nicole Scott This is my favorite version of the Phantom, second is the one with Gerard Butler.

[@theatrekidwithinternetacce704]

Question, I just skip thru parts. How is he dying???? NOT MY PICNIC LOVING ERIK!!!!!!!!!

[@conhaquecafe9297]

@@theatrekidwithinternetacce704 He was dying of sadness. Christine passed away after seeing his deformed face and then woke up only to try and escape. His heart was destroyed. I don't think science can explain or even prove that, but heartbreak can really make a person sick. I've been through something similar. A rejection from someone I truly cared about. I couldn't eat, cause there was a knot in my stomach. I couldn't concentrate in anything else. Just wanted to sit in a corner and cry myself to death. Purple dots appeared in my thigh and I felt physically sick. So yeah, he was very much dying.

[@theatrekidwithinternetacce704]

[@jarvisel]

That scene with the two of them singing is hands down one of the most romantic moments of all time.

[@michellehayton8984]

4:50, the moment when Erik realizes that Christine loves him! What an amazing scene, both actors are so emotional here! I just wish that balcony was not separating them, if it was not, I believe they would have passionately kissed!

[@caroxoxo]

Agreed!

Yes!

[@la_esmeralda444]

Maybe not romantic love, but this Christine truly cared about him. That was enough for him, the same way Leroux!Erik was happy by her compassion, even it that didn't mean marrying her. She is the sweetest Christine of all and my favorite one ❤️

[@kuji017]

Christine and Erik's duet is probably my favourite part... Such a poignant scene...

[@deanmorton6537]

What shocked me is that the audience was applauding TO THE PHANTOM!!!!!

[@nicolescott89]

This is a man who truly loves her for whatever reason. I'm glad she aknowledged she loves him and is in love with him. I have always thought Christine should have been with Erik. I know he's abit crazy but look past that he's a man who really loves her heart and soul. He would go beyond the ends of the earth for her.

[@cicimelendez4557]

The phantom's voice; a blanket I would like to wrap myself with cuz it's so smooth sounding!!!!

[@TheMsiaddict]

He reminds me of Matthew Cammelle.

[@phangirl1986]

This is my favorite part of the whole movie. PhantomReviewer called it silly; I can't see how he can think that. It's so passionate. I can't understand the words or the subtitles, but the emotion shines through so perfectly. Whoever does the singing for Teri Polo and Charles Dance, bravo! The Phantom's voice especially is gorgeous! The only thing is, I kind of feel bad for the guy playing Faust. He got his role stolen! You can see him in the background mouthing the words, poor guy, lol.

[@MsAbixxx]

3:15 to 6:00 We're sorry, this user has died from overexposure to the most pure and angelic male singing she has ever heard

[@carrawaydaron7000]

Look at him at 6:14. He is so happy. I'm gonna die. :'(

[@la_esmeralda444]

Surely one of the best adaptations. It is much not Leroux accurate, but it keeped the main message about the story and it brought us one of the best representations for Erik, that many versions missed. For more adaptations like this one! Enough of turning a tragic, misunderstood antihero wishing to be loved, forgave and understood like Erik into a heartless, stupid villain with no respect to Leroux. Great acting of both Polo and Charles Dance, they are of my fave Christine and Erik ❤️❤️ Btw, she should have stay with Erik, and not that useless, selfish, narcisist count! Raoul/Philippe doesn't deserve a girl as sweet as her :)

[@hankenbm]

omg...he sings like an angel...he caught my breathe when he started singing

[@GwenniferPhalange]

heard it a hundred times..... still getting goosebumps.....

[@chezzabunnee2584]

Friggin love this scene! I only understood "je t'aime" which means "I love you" and even though that was all I understood I loved it! So beautiful!

[@rachelpreston4872]

My grandmother recorded this movie when it aired on television over 30 years ago. My siblings and I would watch it. We were very, very young. I was probably 9 or 10? My baby brother was maybe 5 when I first sat and watched it with him. I LOVED the movie then and I still love it today. This was always my favorite scene! Every time I watch it my entire body becomes covered in goosebumps. This year, I decided to read Faust and figure out what the opera story is about…Goethe is not light reading but I’m almost finished with the book. I’ve been learning a lot and expanding my mind…and it is all because this scene inspired me and sparked my curiosity when I was a child. Thank you to the person who made it available on KZbin!

[@PhantomoftheOperaOG]

He pretty much so chose how to do everything in the Opera house according to Gerard & he taught Christine to sing. He also made everyone in the Opera house think he was a ghost & knew ventriloquism. THAT is intelligence in my opinion

[@dotstripe5133]

I watched this on TV when I was 20. This is the best "the phantom of the opera" for me.

[@CrazyGood88]

I went into shock watching this version. Erik was (almost) human and simply amazing, Christine was more confused than ever, raoul/phillipe was a bigger douche than I've ever seen him, and the duet was heartbreakingly wonderful. The portrayal of their relationship in this version was my favorite. The 2004 version was cool, but it did not hit me in the tear ducts like this one did.

[@CrazyGood88]

Watching Season 2 of Game of Thrones, and found out Charles Dance was in it. Squeed when I heard him speak. His voice is just as alluring even when he isn't playing the Phantom.

[@FireStar32005]

Erik, aka the Phantom is music personified. Just saying. He lives and breathes music.

[@flyingsnow00]

lovely inspector - he couldn't stop an artistic moment :D ...and poor Philippe , wringing there

[@kuji017]

I've seen it called: "Ah! C'est la voix du bien aime! Oui, c'est toi! Je t'aime!" ("Ah! It is the voice of my beloved! Yes, it's you; I love you!"), or just "Oui, c'est toi! Je t'aime!"

[@LePhantome273]

Double agreed. *raises teacup in agreement* Couldn't've said it better myself. Possibly the most beautiful singing I have ever heard. THAT there is why I adore opera so much. The Phantom singing it just makes it seem like the lottery in chocolate.

[@pboyle2249]

This song just makes me melt! The voices - hers and Eric’s harmonizing together are just heartbreaking. They are so beautiful.

[@AnnLiOz]

@JKS177 I agree! I love the duet in this! I know its dubbed, but all the same Charles Dance gives so much expression of his love. And I like how the audience applauds him, as though his mask in those few wonderful moments no longer matters. He seems so happy when the song ends. ''Oui, ce moi je t'aime!'' (I hope thats right) He really believes it. We love you, Erik! Beautiful...Its so sad it has to end.

I love this version of The Phantom of the Opera and I just adore the duet aria on this version. I would love to be able to download the aria/song/duet that Christine and Eric sing to my music collection; but even Shazan cannot identify the area/song. Oh woe is me.. Two hearts beating as one.

[@mllebree348]

This song is from the final trio of Faust: it can be found by googling the first line of it. It's Mon cœur est pénétré, Ah! C'est la voix and Alerte! Alerte! Hope I helped you. They cut quite a chunk out between Ah! C'est la voix and Alerte! Alerte! So the scene is much longer than it looks here. But it's truly beautiful. Happy hunting!
