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.

1:27 - 1:31 in this part imo, Raoul realizes how connected Erik and Christine to each other. That no matter what he’ll do, there’s always a part of Christine that only Erik can complete it. He may be the “safe” choice since Erik’s a repulsive and obssessed man, but she will always belong to him and him to her. That’s why he’s like tearing up. I mean why would you even tear up seeing your girl like that? Jealousy? Nah! Dude realizing the deep connection😂

[@lemotheemonemo]

+zomberz von zombycow Well, remember throughout the play, the two theater owners are always fretting about their public image. So, shooting a performer in the middle of a show would've brought bad publicity. That's why they waited and "made certain the doors are bared, made certain their men are there, made certain they're armed". Their original plan was to wait "until the curtain falls; his reign will end". They just weren't anticipating the Phantom taking an alternative exit. xD

I know! I loved the way Erik sang it better than the way Raoul sang it. To me, it is just so memorable.

[@mckennawest12]

This scene is so sad, it really shows that most of his hold over has to do with lust, the second he tried to be gentle, sincere and loving she looks like she broke out of a trance. I really do think though if Raoul didn't exist she would have fallen for Phantom.

[@cristinacarreiro8969]

+McKenna West They both loved each other. She loved the Phantom on level way above Raoul but Raoul offered her safety which is why in the end the Phantom let her go because he knew he couldn't protect her. That's why the ending is just so sad because they have to depart.

[@daenerystargaryen2554]

+McKenna West The Phantom loves Christine and is trying to "woo her" with this song. It is clear that she loves him too, but is frightened by his murderous actions. He'll do anything to win her affections and is jealous of her relationship with Raoul. The part where you said she "breaks out of her trance", is Christine realising that the Phantom has overheard her and Raoul on the rooftop, because he is using the same song that they sang to each other (All I Ask of You).

[@la_esmeralda444]

By far my favorite scene of the movie. The Point of No Return is surely about Erik's frustrated fantasies (there's nothing wrong about it, it's totally ok lol), but the part when he sings "All I Ask of You"... is so, but so beautiful and lovable. He's surrendered, weak and fragile, showing his deepest feelings and dreams for Christine. It's easy to notice how much real his love was, it's not a petty childish "feeling" that Raoul sang. Erik's "All I Ask Of You" is truly romantic and lovable. The song was about sex and everything, but Erik's confession was the purest form of love and courage. He has weakness as any other human has, but still, Erik was very strong facing his traumas and his love deception. And of course Christine helped him to be stronger and a better person, despiting the bad things he did (with good intentions). I. LOVE. THIS. STORY. The musical is not that loyal to the novel (unsurprassing) but still got the moves.

[@wij2012Gaming]

Right before she took his mask off, you can see she's very conflicted. She needs to reveal his face so the police and others know its him, but she is also clearly in love with in almost in spite of herself and doesn't want to hurt him or see him get hurt. You can even see the guilt on her face and in her eyes after she takes it off and for a split second, even the phantom's expression says, "Fair enough," after the initial shock and before the rage kicks in. The acting here is beyond amazing.

[@Oopsiedaisy861]

Thank you for this comment. I feel embarrassed to admit I didn’t understand why Christine unmasked him during this scene, because I felt it was so obvious that people knew that the actor was the Phantom. But it’s true, somehow the entire opera house had no idea and she needed to reveal his identity. The look of sorrow and pity in her eyes is beautifully sad.

[@chaoticfantasycosplays]

God, I love this scene. So much passion and tension. Also, even though many Phans like to point fun at Raoul for crying in this scene (and trust me, I hated his character when I was younger), you can't deny that you would be crying your eyes out too if the woman you truly loved was being sung the song that you were sure that was only meant for the two of you.

[@kaylovesdisney4582]

It still amazes me how many people don't realise that The Phantom/ Erik wears a wig. If you watch the scene prior to PONR where he sings; "seal my fate tonight, i hate to have to cut the fun short..." you can see him adjust his wig and also all his spare wigs are on the table. The Phantom also wears a wig in the stage version....the main difference is that stage Phantom has very little hair....whereas Gerry's Phantom has more hair (though thinner on the disfigured side) and is blonde. I have always loved the movie's version of PONR. It's the only scene i think the movie does better than the stage version, mostly because i like that Christine knows it's him as soon as he starts singing, rather than him hiding under the black hood and cape. I also completely love Gerry's performance, especially here (Emmy's also)....he completely owns the role. There are some wonderful Phantoms, and he deserves his place among them. 🌹🖤

[@brittanymcmullan3188]

You can aee the change in the phantom go from confident and sedictive when he sings his part, to vulnerable and uncertain when she sings her part. I still believe that Christine's heart has always truly belonged to the phantom, but she knows that she can only live a life in the shadows with him, unlike a life in the light with Raoul.

[@ayeshathestranger]

Well, it's a matter of perspective: while Erik's brilliant genius lights up the darkest of caves, Raoul's dumb mind covers the fanciest chateau with pitch darkness... (Btw the Opera house has a nice roof terrace for sunbathing...)

[@amyli092]

I'd say it's for mixed reasons. Some people might have screamed in shock because Christine took the mask off, but others might have reacted that way because of Erik's face. You can't really help how you react to certain things.

[@maggielu3927]

they also weren’t completely sure that he was real, even the masquerade could’ve been a fake, so seeing him in person would be pretty scary (especially with all the crime he’s committed)

[@EntertainmentFan11]

His face. Even the next song explains it. "Why, you ask, was I bound and chained in this cold and dismal place?! Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face! Hounded out by everyone, met with hatred everywhere, no kind words from anyone, no compassion anywhere!"

[@jordanvan.winkle]

[@lyndsaysalazar6294]

Their vocals and chemistry in this scene are phenomenal, but the part where she rips his mask off is incredible frustrating because she puts the poor man on the spot. And at 2:27 that little moment they have together where she smiles as he serenades her is so raw and beautiful it perfectly shows their love ♡. If Raoul weren’t in the picture I believe Christine would’ve chosen the phantom in a heartbeat.

[@trin1464]

they would've !! the director and ALW even said so themselves. they made it a romance and love triangle on purpose and they wanted to make her decision to the viewers as confusing as people so you truly don't know who she will choose in the end. Unfortunately, because he's so scared of losing her since shes the only person whos ever loved him and seen the kindness in him despite his face, he goes to disgusting measures to keep her with him and make Raoul lose their competition of winning her love, and because of that, there's no way she can stay with him :( his murderous tendencies scare her no matter how much she loves him and cares for him.

[@_knowledgebank1815]

Luna Xu you said what I wanted to say

[@aubrey7116]

Emma Petersen I disagree. First of all, I don’t think he intended to surprise her. He wrote this opera so that he could perform this scene with her, I doubt he’d want her to _not know it was him._ Also, he looks up at Raoul, too, somewhere before the beginning of this clip. He knows they’re there to kill him. And, honestly, I don’t think he really cares. He’s smiling and happy because it’s a show, and he has to be, but he drops that when he and Christine get close enough. You’re right that he’s desperate when he sings All I Ask of You, but wouldn’t that be because he knows it’s impossible? People aren’t generally desperate for something they know they have, they’re desperate for something they know they _don’t_ have. He’s desperate because he knows he’s lost her, and he’s begging her not to leave. He might not have known specifically that she was going to take his mask off, but he knew something was up (especially since they yell-sang about it in his opera house).

[@CH-gr7tn]

The getaway that the Phantom did was a bit better than the musical.

[@katherinedzioba8173]

Reasons why Rauol is a tool; - he used his girlfriend as bait to lure the phantom onto the stage -when the plan fails and Christine gets taken away, he is so shocked that it happened -he watches his girlfriend fawn for the man that had given her nightmares -in the beginning of the movie, he denies the existence of the phantom - in the song Prima Donna, his lines don't have a point, like, we know that Firmin and Andre aren't listening to the Phantom -and when he arrives to rescue her, he ends up being tied up by Erik That is all I have to say; #Raoulatool2020

I wish they would've made the musical theatre version of The Point of No Return more like this.

2:20 ppl might not like Gerard but cmon that’s some shivering stuff bro he’s putting his emotions out in front of those ppl with his voice that’s some guts “anywhere you go too” absolutely perfect he made the sadness in his voice really come out passionately total props love this scene

[@awanna-bechristine9324]

I love this song so much... it makes me cry. There's all this sexy stuff that was in the opera and written that way, but through the whole section, you can kind of see in the Phantom's eyes that he's not positive that she means what she's singing. Then everything stops and he breaks off; it's as if he didn't mean to propose to her there, but he couldn't help himself. And Christine hears the change and snaps out of the trance she's in... 2:20 you can hear the raw emotion in his voice, the years of tortured loneliness, the pleading for someone to understand him and love him and value him despite his face... Look, his hands are shaking as he holds hers... Sing it to me, Phantom. My answer would have been different.

[@theonlyalaska7499]

i can have him if she doesnt want him. i could fix him

[@virginiaclark6]

no fixing needed

[@mynameisb4020]

Why does he like ok like Brendan Fraiser from that angle

[@ashleynegrete317]

We shall never know.

[@johnsheehan7215]

She is back in his musical hypnotizing trance. And it happened every time he spoke or talked in song.

[@brittanygordon6544]

The Phantom has been hypnotizing her with his singing through the whole movie and at this scene she’s hypnotizing him. Also, if Madam Giry has seen his face before why did she freak out? Was his face not as scary when he was a boy? She acts like she knows who he is with a white mask but in any other she has no clue. I liked that with this movie he’s not wearing a hooded cloak unlike the opera. Both are timeless though. You can never get tired of them if your a true Phantom of the Opera fan.

[@thecosmicfish]

Can we all talk about how Gerard whips off his cape and struts 0:53 😮‍💨

[@건대생]

so sad... so beautiful....

[@haleyhenry582]

I hate rauol so when he cried I was crying too. tears of fricken joy

[@mallieblayke303]

My thoughts. Raoul didn’t even recognize her until she was singing on stage, didn’t serenade her until she started singing about how Erik sang to her and forced her to do something she didn’t want to do to trap the phantom. I think that she would have been better with Erik, because they have more chemistry and more passion. I think the reason why more people are team Phantom is because everyone (including his mother) shunned and hated him, but when Christene came along she was the only one who liked him despite his appearance she was his light. He only wanted someone to be there with him and like him to ‘save him from his solitude’. And when he feels something will take that light from him naturally he would do anything to protect it, even if that means violence, which he learned as a child. :/ Also is think the reason why she took the mask off was either because she couldn’t love him hiding who he was, or, to show him that no matter how anyone else will react she will love him for who he is. What do you think?

[@Firegirl483]

There was a whole plan that Christine was forced to do by everyone in the Opera. She was ordered to do the musical, and at the end they would arrest the Phantom because he would show up eventually. Christine ripped off the mask to let them know it was him. She realized it was him and not Piangi when he first touched her, and she got out of her trance when he sang "All I ask" because she realized he was on the roof and saw that. Raoul represents safety, and she suddenly remembered she was engaged and had a duty, so she did it even though she didn't want to.

[@idontknowanymore5065]

Spartan YT. I agree with you, and good explanation. When I try to explain stuff like this to my family or friends it is harder for me to explain. So thanks :)

[@mallieblayke303]

Zanillani During her performance she looked up at Raoul. (Previous vid) I think that was the signal that it was the phantom, because Raoul signaled the guards to prepare after they made eye contact . So I don’t think taking the mask off was to tell them, but Idk I could be wrong.

[@mallieblayke303]

POTOLLOM LOSWPAO3 Haha, it took me a while to type, because I had to figure out how to word it 😂 Glad you understood.

[@evenceflux1852]

Gerard passionately practice singing for months and he got it! While me here practiced singing for like an enternity still sound like a screeching cat🤣🤣

[@bellanewton6125]

No he had three lessons and that’s it he didn’t have a lot of time to practice

[@ur-local-lesbian-comrade]

That cape flip at :52 is too sexy. I'd be like, SORRY RAOUL

[@adrianatdottru]

aaaaaAANNYWHERRE YOU GO LET ME GO TOO😭😭❤

[@obiwankenobi9141]

Erik: NO! You revealed my pinkeye to the world DAMN YOU!

[@jeopardybehrens3047]

You lying Delilah, you little demon

[@WarDogs2023]

У Рауля такое лицо, потому что он хочет быть на месте Кристины

[@jillmorgan403]

The most beautiful rendition and plot of all Phantom of the Opera plays is this movie. Especially this part of the Point of No Return sequence wherein everything is so perfect and very touching..... I love it so much. The best ever.....!

[@caras2004]

The Point of No Return sequence on stage The moment when it becomes terrifying and sensual at the same time

[@h.huffen-puff4105]

That's ALL he asks of her, huh?

[@bighuge1060]

Christine: "Oh my goodness! You have a mild facial deformity!"; something I'm sure Gaston Leroux never intended.

[@billandmonicaschleicher9018]

So true king

[@yangchun7458]

Say you'll share with me One love, one lifetime Lead me, save me from my solitude Say you want me with you here, beside you Anywhere you go, let me go, too Christine, that's all I ask of this is the most touching and honest love confession I’ve ever seen and Christine totally ruined it

[@MicaRayan]

Seriously now are we gonna ignore the fact that they build the whole set for the production... remarkable 0:07 rip Joel

[@holdmybeard3160]

So the Phantom's disfigurement ended up being a minor burn on his face?

[@mrjones2721]

Eric could have had a world-spanning career as an opera singer specializing in masked roles. Or a set designer. Or a singing teacher. He just had to get over himself. And maybe, y'know, stop murdering people.

[@sugakookie_rand]

My man really wrote a whole opera and murdered someone just to sing with her… girls if he wanted to he would

[@SoWhosGae]

Get you a man that would 😂

[@lilianavalentinaalegrialop2727]

Lead me, save me from my solitude! I'm crying! :')
