    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 35th 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.

    I love the phantom's intensity. If you watch his eyes you can see the emotions he feels and you can feel his pain and love.

    Something is just so haunting and beautiful about Gerard's version. It's not technically good like Ramin's but Gerard's voice is like velvet. This version has something magical that none of us(the one's who love this version) can explain...the curse of music.( and i know I'm just going to get ripped for just saying that but I don't care)

    I believe that this is the best song in the whole movie. Every time I listen to this specific song my eyes tear up, his voice is beautiful and smooth...

    That was the most beautiful part of the movie. In my opinion I believe this was the most romantic, sensous, passionate and sweet scene I've ever seen.

    I knew he was talented, but I never knew he could sing like this, until I saw this movie. His voice, his acting makes your heart ache for this Phantom that he plays so well...

    This shows that he is more of an actor than a singer. Rather than striving for the perfect note he instead fills the song with emotion, he becomes the Phantom.

    Am I the only one who can watch this over and over without getting tired of it? C'mon, it can't just be me. When he hits that high note, it's like... O.O

    She was a 17-year-old high school student when the film was made; 18 when it was released. How does a 17-year-old learn facial expressions of wonder and terror as she does in this film. And sing like angel. Amazing.

    A little trivia: It might interest you to know that the mannequin actually was her. They couldn't get the wax copy to look good enough, so they just had the actress pose completely still for that shot.

  • @whispersandtingles
    @whispersandtingles 11 ปีที่แล้ว +199

    I don't know why people say they dislike his voice. I think it's beautiful. Just because he isn't first and foremost and opera singer doesn't mean he can't sing at all.

    Gerard Butler as the Phantom is absolutely beautiful.. It melts my heart. His voice. His face. His hair. Is it just me, or is it simply wonderful in every detail? Enchanting, by all means.

    I listen to all types of music, from dubstep to pop to classical, but nothing moves me more than broadway music. the amount of emotion that they add to a beautiful story is truly stunning. I saw this live in New York as a young child, and I have never, and will never, forget it.

    I have been singing this since I was a very little girl. I saw the show live when I was about six, and was in love with it ever since. Only shows, the darkness is not something to fear, but to embrace and let it betroth you. What I thought was beautiful in the light, turned to be foolish and cross. The dark reveals the true beauty you cannot see with your eyes. 3

    As far as I'm concerned, Erik is the most tragic character in all of literature. He loves Christine, but has no idea how to convey it. He desperately wants to be a part of the world that rejected him, and hopes that Christine will be his link to that world. He never developed any social skills, and so has no outlet for his genius. When Christine chooses Raul, He tries to hate her, but can't. In the end he can't reconcile his love for Christine with his own ambitions, and he lets her go. Tragic.

    Love him. How can someone resist that man?!? Mutated face or not, I'd take him over raoul 100%. Somehow, it seems to make him look more attractive. And that voice... ;D He's so sweet and just wants to be loved. Even though he's a killer.. and also is insane. The world's cruelty made him that way. He's just lonely and extremely insecure.

    I think Gerry did a wonderfu job. I spent the first thirty years of my life with music.I am a retired concert violinist and I've heard many people sing this song and I can say that without a doubt, Gerry Butler did a better job than a lot of the other singers did in the same role.

    i watched this movie in choir last year, and every time the Phantom sang, especially this song, i was like in a trace much like Christine appeared to be. I just stared at the screen in complete awe. I'm still in awe when ever i hear or see this movie. Gerard Butler portrayed the Phantom very well.

    @JAMbannana 11 ปีที่แล้ว +336

    In my opinion, I think Gerard is veri underrated in this role, I personally think he did a fantastic job at it!! I can never understand why there are so many people judged him wiv so many -ve comments...I like his voice in this song as well as the Phantom!! Even if his look is not taken into account and just listen to his voice, he has one of the most passionate, sexy and beautiful voice!! How can others ALWAYS bashing about his voice and ignore all the strength he has!?:(

    its so nice to hear someone your age say so ! Not that im some old geezer (im 41), but your comment gives me hope that younger generations can both recognize and appreciate the beauty in classical, opera, and other types of music that arent necessarily "main stream" these days. There's so many talented people out there who can make beautiful music, and its so under-appreciated by lots of young people. I saw Phantom as a teenager (on stage in NYC) many years ago, and it blew me away !

    He was about 32 at the time and she was 16 when filming began. When they went out in public together, they had a chaperone. Emmy turned 17 during filming and was old enough to consent to the "Grope" scene, we see here...in all it's beautiful romance...and commented about having to wear those tight corsets that the real original Christine, from the 1800's had to wear. She commented that she could hardly breathe at times, after 14 hrs a day in them. Great production by Joel for 90 million pounds.

    I remember when this first came out on DVD when I was a teen. My best friend and I were both /horribly/ infatuated with the Phantom. I remember we used to re-play the moment where he turns around suddenly and sings "darkest dreams" (1:28) over and over again because we thought it was so sexy! God, we were weirdos.

    Yes he did. He used to play in a band with some of his mates when he was a lawyer, or before that. He had 24 extra singing lessons to get it right for this movie. ALWebber wanted his voice, a slightly rock n' roll ballad type voice and Emmy sang her part too. She was ballet and singing trained since she was 4 or 6yrs old and is the most perfect Christine ever.

    Notice that when he says, "Open up your mind! Let your fantasies unwind..." at 2:29, she looks down at his crotch. It's those little nuances that really bring these types of performances to life. It's a very sensual song.
