E vocea ascunsă-n vis, obsesia mea (It's the voice hidden in dream, my obsession) E cântecul deschis ce mă chema (It's the open song which was calling me) Visul s-a stins de mult, vocea-mi șoptea (The dream is long gone, the voice was whispering to me) Fantoma de la operă e aici în mintea mea (The phantom of the opera is here inside my mind) Doar glasul meu și-al tău, ciudat duet (Only my voice and yours, strange duet) Misterele te-atrag încet-încet (Mysteries slowly attract you) Deși te-ndepărtezi nu poți scăpa (Although you walk away, you can't escape) Fantoma de la operă e acum în mintea ta (The phantom of the opera is now inside your mind) În lumea umbrelor te-ascunzi mereu (In the world of shadows you are always hiding) Eu sunt esența ta...Și glasul meu (I am your essence... And my voice) Același crunt destin e soarta mea/ta (The same cruel destiny is my/your fate) Fantoma de la operă e doar în mintea mea/ta (The phantom of the opera is just inside my/your mind) E aici fantoma de la operă (It's here, the phantom of the opera) Ferea! (?) Fantoma de la operă (Look out! The phantom of the opera) Din sumbre depărtări te-au îndrumat (From gloomy distances they guided you) Ai vrut să știi ce sunt...Și am aflat (You wanted to know what I am...And I found out) Iar dacă-ncerci să crezi c-o poți vedea (And if you try to believe you can see it) Fantoma de la opera e aici în mintea mea/ta (The phantom of the opera is here inside my/your mind) Înger al muzicii, cântă-mi (Angel of music, sing to me) E aici fantoma de la operă (It's here the phantom of the opera) Cântă-mi x5 (Sing to me) Înger al muzicii, cântă-mi (Angel of music, sing to me)

This is an interesting set design. Its more complex than the original which was simple and Charming, but i think this set looks great and i would live to see it live

[@douglasduff4466]

Completely agree

[@galacticob4395]

Looks more like The Dracula of the Opera

[@christinewells-leddon9287]

It does have that vibe, doesn't it...?

[@OliverRaj]

Wow, i like how they already appeared on the boat when a certain part of the song, and the moving set made it seem like they are actually moving to different locations, very wonderful!

[@douglasduff4466]

Very clever staging

That’s an interesting set choice

Very inventive staging of this portion of the show.

[@actorjulion101]

I like the fact that Christine is actually blonde like in the first original book!!

[@Nen014cy]

Why?!

[@actorjulion101]

​​@@Nen014cy Because I'm allowed to like something and it's based on the original roots of the storyline...🤨😂

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Adrian Nour is miscast and too popish sounding for the Phantom.

[@sebycraciun]

And who would be the right choice? I don't know any Romanian musical actor better suited for the role

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

@@sebycraciun I’d love to see a Romanian opera tenor or baritone sing the role, as fitting the role. Opera tenor Darius Coltan would be a wonderful choice.

[@maggieaishalee3829]

The set looks better than the restaged version in english

[@alexzanderopera]

atât de mândru de această producție și de toată munca pe care au depus-o în ea este minunat de văzut. ❤❤❤

[@evelynem4630]

Da, arată super. De-abia aștept să văd spectacolul live în mai ❤

[@christinewells-leddon9287]

This is a gorgeous staging, the way the walls move and the boat slips thru. Mesmerizing! The costuming has a very "Dracula" vibe to it...but I think it works well.

[@proudream]

Au nevoie de mai multa ceata la scena cu barca

[@christinevergara5357]

Honestly the only part of the set I don’t like is the stairs. They look like a set from a high school.

[@evelynem4630]

I saw yesterday this show live. I think that the sets, the costumes, the music and the acting are all great. Several changes were made in comparison with the original production. Some of them made me raise my eyebrows in surprise (e.g. the ballet from "Il muto" and Past the Point of No Return) and some of them were a very nice touch (e.g. there is a character played by a child and thank God this is not a reference to Love Never Dies). And some fun fact I learned today is that the set designer for this production (Gary McCann) worked as the assistant of Maria Björnson, the set and costume designer for the original POTO production, at some point. I really recommend going to see this show live if you can. I won't upload any new videos from it (at least not this year) as I think it might ruin the theatre experience :)

[@proudream]

Yeah, the theatre director said that they were not allowed to use the original production.

[@Aleera31]

is there a cd of it? I think the singers are so great❤

[@evelynem4630]

If they would release a CD, I'd be the first to buy one :)

[@Theatreeeee]

That set it amazing 🤩

[@nashjohnsnashleytisdale956]

I’m in love with this 😍

[@clevm002]

I like the staging, just feel if the whole thing was choreographed tighter it would look fantastic. To me the set changes are over done with little impact here. For the effort and cost of this set, you'd hope they would use every inch of it well and time the transitions perfectly.

[@leonardowilson7709]

Do you have music of the night?

[@evelynem4630]

No. Maybe someone will record it in May.

[@douglasduff4466]

Fabulous Staging

[@jackmurphybatmanfan4619]

I love reading the book

[@sakurapablo671]

This is the reason why, only few countries will change just the costume for what feels right to that said country. Which I love this one for the use of stage and making sure that works within their budget. It goes for the same on Love Never Dies, cause of the two versions that their working on it. That’s why the America got the original version that was worked in the London version, while parts of Asia and Australia got the 2nd version.

[@kam_loves_cats]

This is when more isn't always good

[@samueljaramillo4221]

I prefer the original stage design.

[@jws1948ja]

beautiful in any language.

[@dirkstrachan2421]

A lot of choices made... Not many of them good.

[@CakeKitty135]

I love the way the thingys (I can never remember words 🥲) move around to create the illusion that they're actually moving around through different locations!

[@bensherm2389]

The lighting is terrible, please stop the moving lights from moving, they don't need to move at all while the scenery moves, also why is the scenery moving when the boat stops? You can't have sim real boating and then random scenic moving, lol, mess!

[@proudream]

@@geaganastefan1663 Wtf that's not a good excuse. Your attitude is unprofessional AF and shouldn't exist in such a high-production show.
