The fact that she could still hit those high notes and the last high note, holy cow. And she was 57 during this concert? Not every singer can maintain their voice as they get older.
I don't think she is - she's only singing the one song, she's not holding the notes for long and doesn't sound "pitch perfect", but there has been gossip that she might be syncing bits and pieces on the Xmas tour, especially this song because she's doing it towards the end of a 2 hour show, holding notes for longer than she does here, and hits an even higher note at the end. She's pushing a "no video" policy at her shows so finding video's going to be tough.
And please, don't start that silly fight about who's the best Christine. Phantom has been on stage for 34 years, and consequently, every Christine gave something personal and unique to the character
@@jixer1956 I have recently listened to an interpretation of this song and it is still spectacular, his voice is very well cared for at the age he is at this moment
Ramin turned the wrong way, Colm Wilkinson (the white haired man on the other side of Ramin) is the original phantom, Webber wrote the part for him. He played the Phantom in the Sydmonton version. I'm not entirely sure if it was known when the Sydmonton version was made that Wilkinson wouldn't be abled to play the Phantom once the play moved to West end, because if I understood correctly he got the role of the original Jean Valjean in Les Miserables on a pretty short notice. But once Phantom moved to West end, he was already busy with Les Miserables and that's how Michael Crawford got the part
Ramin getting patted on the shoulder by Colm at 10:15 is so heartwarming. He always wanted to play the role when he was younger and now, look at him :D
Yup. Colm was actually Ramin's Phantom and his inspiration to join theater. He told him that they will one day perform together in a stage which happened here.
@@viktorcheng2061 Colm Wilkinson has always been my favorite Jean Valjean from Les Mis. I first saw him with the 10th Anniversary Concert Special, and he amazed me. I didn't realize until much later that he had also played the Phantom. These are my two favorite musicals.
The way Michael puffs his chest out with this wonderous look on his face and rubbing his thumb against Christine’s hand as The current phantom sings to him is so 🥰🥺 there’s no words needed for such a lovely tribute for the original and best phantom ❤
I find it a moving touch that they invited Sir Michael Crawford to the stage at the closing of the presentation. I watched "PHANTOM" in London, three times in the 80's and 90's...., it is a masterpiece!
@@TooCooFoYou Oh, that would have been icing on the cake to hear the original Phantom, Michael Crawford, sing to Sarah, the original Christine. But it was such a treat to see him at this incredible performance with all the other Phantoms.
Colm Wilkinson is the only of them who had no vocal training starting out in Dublin in the 1960s in rock music. He grew up with music at home in Dublin. His family all sang. His dad played in bands.
I am moved by all of these talents, especially when Ramin Karimloo thanks Mr. Crawford by singing "only you can make OUR song take flight".... We can't live on this Earth without appreciating such beauty!
Lovely to see our own Aussie Phantom, the great Anthony Warlow (the one on the right of the stage facing the audience), singing here. What an honour for him to be included. The best musical ever - could watch it over and over and over again. Thank you for sharing. 😘💕🥰🇦🇺

I had the opportunity to see Phantom of the Opera at the Paris Opera house June 2012. This performance brings me back to that wonderful memory. It's 2022, anybody else still watching this?
It's 2024 now and yes, still watching. I've seen Phantom 2-3 times in Atlanta, GA, once in Jacksonville, FL, and once in London. Wish I could remember who was singing the Phantom when we were in London. I probably still have the playbill saved somewhere. My favorite musical ever!
I was fortunate enough to see Michael Crawford and colm Wilkinson. Man those guys can sing. It's so sad that phantom is coming to an end after 35 years on Broadway
Agreed...!!! Perhaps THE BEST musical since Jesus Christ Superstar. I too was fortunate enough to see Crawford and Brightman when they came to NY. However, i must say that Ramin Karminloo and Sierra Boggess were FANTASTIC in their roles at the Royal Albert Hall performance.
Sarah performed so perfectly on stage. This is a live performance not recording. She can hit the high note live without out of tune. Brilliant. Also the Four medley sing so well. They are very professional. This is a spectacular live performance. 👍👍
i remember watching the movie as a kid with my mother , the voices were so strong and gave me chills , the music told you everything ,you can feel walk on your soul and touch you deeply . I love classical music ,opera , such blessed people , thank you all for such a beautiful video .
When Colm sang"night time sharpens" at 5:27, I don't why but I just burst into tears...All of them are great and did a fantastic job during their time, but Colm's timbre, his interpretation touched me the most.
This is one of my favorite parts of The Phantom of The Opera since not just because we were able to hear the other 4 Phantoms and Sarah sing but it also kinda makes me forget how the ending made me cry. I will never get tired of watching and listening to the Phantom of The Opera.
The best part? After all the singing and the credits are rolling, Colm drags Ramin back into the middle of the stage. Then after all the applause Ramin picks up Sierra and carries her offstage
Anthony Warlow has one of the most well controlled voices in the theatre world and I adore every song he sings due to the strength of his voice. Every phantom is magnificent in this and we have love and adoration for each one!!
Omg, the way she's in the middle, and they're on either side of her.... They look like wings.... THE ANGEL OF MUSIC. Edit: Or just typical composition when you have 5 people on stage. BUT I LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS THE ANGEL.
I’ve seen the version where Sierra did this and I was obsessed with it for a really long time. My sister and I watched this one yesterday afternoon for the first time and we were just shocked! We couldn’t believe her voice even after all of these years she sounds almost exactly the same! So beautiful! And all of the guys!!!! Oh my gosh their voices are enchanting and beautiful yet powerful too!
She isn't 107. I am a soprano, whose age we won't mention, I still have voice and breath control. No one mentioned the men, tenors I believe, holding notes and controlling their voices.... oh yes, they didn't.
I saw Sarah perform the original Phantom of the opera when it first was shown in London. Everyone's voice changes and Sarah still has a magnificent voice. I totally applaud her, she sung wonderfully ❤️ at this performance. It must have been hard for her as well having been the original all of those years ago, but she nailed it. A big congratulations Sarah. 🤗🙏👍🌟
2:38 to 2:50 What voices!!! My favourite Phantom I've seen on stage (John Owen Jones) and my absolute favourite Phantom of all time (Anthony Warlow) completely nailing it! They are spectacular. 6:09 onwards "Grasp it, sense it" just floors me. Perfection.
Gosh, Brightman hands down and she should have gone to space, as when she hits the notes of a pure Soprano, during the final crescendo to 4:23. It's just spine tingling. Over a full orchestra, choir and all 5 other phantoms. Amazing.
Amazing! Thank God! All we have to do is to enjoy this miraculous reunion and the duet of Sarah and Ramin!! The true fan of “thePhantom of the Opera” recognizes this video’s preciousness!
This is a tough one as all 6 Phantoms display such talent, voice range and voice color to their performance. Michael Crawford will always be the Original Phantom, hands down. Colm Wilkerson, the Canadian Phantom in Toronto is also known for his quintessential performance as Jean Val Jean in Les Miz. Strength and projection of voice goes to Rain Karimloo and Anthony Warlow. The voice range, especially in the upper Tenor range (bordering on falsetto) goes to John Owen-Jones and honorable mention to Peter Joback. The role of Christine Daae will always be Sarah Brightman's, however Sierra Boggess is a very capable understudy who is naturally talented to perform as the love interest of both the Phantom and Raoul.
In early 1988, when I was 17 years old, I travelled to NYC with a group from my school in a rural area of Canada. We saw Colm Wilkinson play the lead in Les Miserables in the afternoon, and Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in Phantom that night. Truly amazing day that I still carry with me and think of often, 30 years later. A few years later I saw Wilkinson as Phantom in Toronto. He was incredible in Les Mis, but nothing could ever come close to comparing to Michael Crawford. There was something about his presence as Phantom. An older, tortured man in such deep pain, frightening with the rage that he kept barely contained, yet captivating in the way he moved and gave you glimmers of what a gentleman he could be. I've adored Crawford all my life. A few years ago I was so sad to hear that we share a very unfortunate connection. We've both developed a systemic neuroimmune disease called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It's taken almost everything away from me during the past 12 years, including my ability to work, and I'm barely able to care for myself. It keeps me in a constant state of illness, but one thing it hasn't taken from me is my precious memories of that day on Broadway so many years ago. I wish so much I could meet Michael and give him a huge hug. I'm thankful that he's doing better these days. 💜
Thank you for sharing those beautiful memories. I also saw Sarah Brightham and Michael Crawford what a memorable experience. God be with you each and every day.
THAT is like hitting the lottery jackpot of Broadway musicals. This is one of the few times I really get jealous of people being able to watch celebrities I wanted to see but did not. Lucky for you!
Wow. I just love The Phantom of the Opera.. And Sarah Brightman is a true Angel! Gosh she looks like a Greek Goddess with the Phantoms around her! Classic! love it
Sitting here working 3rd shift listening to this tearing up at the absolute beauty of this whole thing. Truly a masterpiece that can evoke such emotion at any time it’s heard.
five phantoms and 1 sarah brightman. the look in the faces of cast and executives, so proud of sarah's performance. very sweet voice. then, "soar................."
I lost my mind when I saw Colm Wilkinson enter the stage! He holds a special place in my heart because he was the Canadian Phantom. Thank you for uploading this video!
I was lucky enough to see her in Phantom many years ago. She was incredible then and she still is. I guess it's a perk of being old. I got to see all the og casts in all the Broadway plays.
The average human cannot help but be amazed and astonished at these fabulous voices that come out of their mouths. It has to be truly remarkable for someone to open their mouth and have fabulous sounds emanate from their throat! Of course there is voice coaching, training and musical knowledge that comes with their education but it is still a remarkable talent that we appreciate and love to hear. And ALW is a remarkable soul who can write these wondering musical entities that please us all.
I loved Phantkm of the opera. When it came to Iowa from Broadway. I took my husband...then a week later I took my grown daughter. Before it left the city I took my teen age grandaughter. So I saw it 3 times. Sarah Brightman was in the original cast. If I remember rightly Sarah was romantically involved with Andrew Lloyd Webber and he wrote the Phantom for Sarah's beautiful voice. SHE WAS CHRISTINE for years....these are the greatest voices right here on stage together. What a treat.
God, this was amazing. My mom and I were both crying at the end of this. Phantom of the Opera has played a major role in my 14 years of life. I even plan on getting a tattoo of the mask one day. ♡
I have a full back piece. Started it at 18 after having it impact my life for the first time as a teen. Now I’m grateful my children adore it as much as I do 💗
We had it performed in Pretoria South Africa many years ago and I was fortunate enough to get tickets to see it again before they left truly wonderful. That’s what theatre is about is transporting you to another world. Absolutely amazing ❤❤❤❤
@@sloeberdoet John is more a sophisticated phantom than Ramin..all Ramin does is shout... John's final lair scene beats Ramin's by a long shot!...people automatically choose Ramin or Michael because they're easily assessable and well known..oh and cause Ramin's meant to be a " hot " phantom blah blah... Anthony Warlow and John Owen Jones are the true king's of the role!.
Oh man. So many feels watching this video. Ms. Brightman is amazing as ever. She doesn’t seem to age at all - and still nails that E6. (And “Music of the Night” is still one of my favorite showtunes. So many great tenors all with different, unique qualities to their voices.)
I'm pretty sure that was lipsynced. You can hear an abrupt change in her vocal timbre after Peter Joback's "sing!" She suddenly sounds 20 years younger at the end than earlier in the song.
The phantom of the opera lyrics: In sleep he sang to me In dreams he came That voice which calls to me And speaks my name And do I dream again For now I find The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my mind Sing once again with me Our strange duet My power over you Grows stronger yet And though you turn from me To glance behind The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your mind Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear I am the mask you wear It's me they hear My spirit and my voice in one combined The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my mind In all your fantasies You always knew That man and mystery Were both in you And in this labyrinth Where night is blind The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my mind Sing My angel of music He's there The Phantom of the Opera Sing (aah) Sing (aah) Sing for me (aah) Sing my angel of music (aah) Sing for me (aah) I have brought you To the seat of sweet music's throne To this kingdom where all must pay homage to music Music You have come here For one purpose And one alone Since the call when I first heard you sing I have needed you with me To serve me To sing for my music My music... Music of the night lyrics: Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation. Darkness stirs and wakes imagination. Silently the senses abandon their defenses. Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor. Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender. Turn your face away from the garish light of day. Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light, And listen to the music of the night. Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams, Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before. Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar. And you'll live, as you've never lived before. Softly, deftly, music shall caress you. Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you. Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, In this darkness which you know you cannot fight. The darkness of the music of the night. Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world, Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be. Only then can you belong to me. Floating, falling, sweet intoxication. Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation. Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in, To the power of the music that I write. The power of the music of the night. You alone can make my song take flight. Help me make the music of the night.
I discovered this broadway master piece by watching a figure skating review in Minneoplis minnesota of the Olympic winners of 1988 featuring Brian Boitona who skated to the “music of the night” I was mesmerized. At the falsetto not at the end, Brian was doing figure eight patterns leaning back with a white poets shirt, building was dark and a diminishing spot lighting him as the song ends. Unforgettable moment and unforgettable song!!! Finding out where it was from I ran out a bought the soundtrack, since I’ve seen it 5 times in theaters and will always enjoy the power and music of Phantom, Andrew Loyd Weber’s best work!!
I love this video so much.. everyone just looks so happy and their performance is flawless and amazing💗 Also when Ramin honored Michael it brought tears to my eyes, this is one of my favourite things ever

i remember watching the movie as a kid with my mother , the voices were so strong and gave me chills , the music told you everything ,you can feel walk on your soul and touch you deeply . I love classical music ,opera , such blessed people , thank you all for such a beautiful video .
When Colm sang"night time sharpens" at 5:27, I don't why but I just burst into tears...All of them are great and did a fantastic job during their time, but Colm's timbre, his interpretation touched me the most.
I cry regardless of who’s singing. The music touches my very soul. I’m wearing out watching it on TH-cam. 😉😊
Colm is my fav too Sing Sing
yes Michael always be the one Phantom but Colm comes a close second in a way he's a very unique phantom
“Silently the senses, abandon their defenses…”
This is one of my favorite parts of The Phantom of The Opera since not just because we were able to hear the other 4 Phantoms and Sarah sing but it also kinda makes me forget how the ending made me cry. I will never get tired of watching and listening to the Phantom of The Opera.
The best part? After all the singing and the credits are rolling, Colm drags Ramin back into the middle of the stage. Then after all the applause Ramin picks up Sierra and carries her offstage
Wow, John Owen-Jones, your note at 7:10 really did soar! So beautiful!!!
He is one of the Phantoms best known for his haunting voice, he really hits those high notes with his angelic tone.
That note sold it for me! You can really see how Christine became so spellbound by the Phantom's voice.
@@TheAdventuresOfLiz haunting is the perfect description!
Anthony Warlow has one of the most well controlled voices in the theatre world and I adore every song he sings due to the strength of his voice. Every phantom is magnificent in this and we have love and adoration for each one!!
Omg, the way she's in the middle, and they're on either side of her.... They look like wings.... THE ANGEL OF MUSIC.
Edit: Or just typical composition when you have 5 people on stage. BUT I LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS THE ANGEL.
it's like that meme

The "It's over now, the music of the night" is heartbreaking for me. I want it to last forever.
I’ve seen Phantom over 50 times…. Was a young 20 year old the first time in NYC on broadway… and many visits since. LOVE IT WITH ALL MY HEART.
From these 4, Colm Wilkinson is certainly my favorite Phantom. All of them are amazing, but his voice, his control, oh my!
Same! He’s just so incredible
Anthony Warlow is the best for me.
John Owen Jones is my favorite but Colm is totally in my top 5
No one's gonna top Michael Crawford tho
Of the 4, my favorite is colm, and if you add Ramin , then my favorite is Ramin.
The level that this star has reached is impressive. Few can accompany and sing with her. She is a wonderful Diva.💜
The way Sarah sings,no one has is so soft AND delicate.
At 10:13, the look Michael gives Sierra. And the little hand shake!
Adorable.
I love Sarah Brightman, no wonder she's one of the highest paid sopranos, she deserves it a thousand times
The biggest selling soprano. And her concerts is one of a hell strict. So many rules.
@@paralleluniverses2969 oh really? What rules does she impose?
I don't actually like the way she sings it sounds way to vibratoey
@@snoozyq9576 agreed
@@snoozyq9576 maybe a little too technical too!
I’ve seen the version where Sierra did this and I was obsessed with it for a really long time. My sister and I watched this one yesterday afternoon for the first time and we were just shocked! We couldn’t believe her voice even after all of these years she sounds almost exactly the same! So beautiful! And all of the guys!!!! Oh my gosh their voices are enchanting and beautiful yet powerful too!
Love Sarah, she sang this pretty amazingly well given her age and being out of her prime. Love it. Love all of her music
Emocionante lindíssimo
She sang it better in her original performance
I'm not a fan of her Christine, but her singing in this version always gives me chills!
She isn't 107. I am a soprano, whose age we won't mention, I still have voice and breath control. No one mentioned the men, tenors I believe, holding notes and controlling their voices.... oh yes, they didn't.
There is no age and prime. As long as her heart beats, she can be 57 or 80 and still be phenomenal.
Please do 1 Phantom with 4 Christine when this pandemic is over
And the Phantom should be Raminnnnnnn
Definitely! And maybe after that: one Christine Daaé and 4 Raouls for all I ask of you. Can we get the 25th anniversary cast for the 35th anniversary
Yes, I think so, too. And please one of Christine must be Sierra.
I actually did the theme as phantom with two christines
GERARD BUTLER
(I’m kidding)
@@yumemilee so long as it’s not Steve Harley
I saw Sarah perform the original Phantom of the opera when it first was shown in London. Everyone's voice changes and Sarah still has a magnificent voice. I totally applaud her, she sung wonderfully ❤️ at this performance. It must have been hard for her as well having been the original all of those years ago, but she nailed it. A big congratulations Sarah. 🤗🙏👍🌟
I wish Michael Crawford could of sang a bit as the Phantom with Sarah, what a reunion it would be, I mean he’s the OG Phantom.
Sadly he is did not dressed up as The Phantom for it!
He got asked last minute to sing and Michael is a purist and prefers practice so he politely declined.
He has to rest his voice because he was hot footed as Andrew put from the play he was in.
michael was in another musical when this was filmed, so he had to be on vocal rest.
@@claire6160 yes’m also part of the reason:))
Anyone else "have a little something in their eye" at 10:20, when Ramin salutes Michael?
Definitely. Especially with Michael joins in on the last note.
@@darthkurland YES!!!
2:38 to 2:50
What voices!!!
My favourite Phantom I've seen on stage (John Owen Jones) and my absolute favourite Phantom of all time (Anthony Warlow) completely nailing it!
They are spectacular.
6:09 onwards
"Grasp it, sense it" just floors me. Perfection.
Gosh, Brightman hands down and she should have gone to space, as when she hits the notes of a pure Soprano, during the final crescendo to 4:23. It's just spine tingling. Over a full orchestra, choir and all 5 other phantoms. Amazing.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, she was lip syncing at the end
I really love the grin Colm flashes at JoJ and Warlow at 2:40 they do sound phenomenal together.
ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL VOICES FOR THIS MASTERPIECE OF SONG, AND NOT ANYONE COULD EVER PERFORM IN THE WAY SHE. DID AND DOES. I LOVE SARA BRIGHMAN.
Perfect way to reunite the Phans once more! Missing this show more than ever😭
I need a version of 1 PHANTOM & 4 CHRISTINE, how about that???
YES
This
the last 20 seconds of that would be CHAOS (and i’m here for it)
The one Phantom should be Michael Crawford. But the four Christines should be:
• Sierra Boggess
• Ali Ewoldt
• Emmy Rossum
&
• Sarah Brightman
@@lustforlimerence Y A S
How humble that Andrew loydd Webber stayed at the edge of the stage to shake their hands. Classy .
John Owen-Jones' "soar" does things to me
Amazing! Thank God! All we have to do is to enjoy this miraculous reunion and the duet of Sarah and Ramin!! The true fan of “thePhantom of the Opera” recognizes this video’s preciousness!
This is a tough one as all 6 Phantoms display such talent, voice range and voice color to their performance. Michael Crawford will always be the Original Phantom, hands down. Colm Wilkerson, the Canadian Phantom in Toronto is also known for his quintessential performance as Jean Val Jean in Les Miz. Strength and projection of voice goes to Rain Karimloo and Anthony Warlow. The voice range, especially in the upper Tenor range (bordering on falsetto) goes to John Owen-Jones and honorable mention to Peter Joback. The role of Christine Daae will always be Sarah Brightman's, however Sierra Boggess is a very capable understudy who is naturally talented to perform as the love interest of both the Phantom and Raoul.
So beautiful to listen how each Phantom has the same tone and voice, the one we all have in mind!
In early 1988, when I was 17 years old, I travelled to NYC with a group from my school in a rural area of Canada. We saw Colm Wilkinson play the lead in Les Miserables in the afternoon, and Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in Phantom that night. Truly amazing day that I still carry with me and think of often, 30 years later. A few years later I saw Wilkinson as Phantom in Toronto. He was incredible in Les Mis, but nothing could ever come close to comparing to Michael Crawford. There was something about his presence as Phantom. An older, tortured man in such deep pain, frightening with the rage that he kept barely contained, yet captivating in the way he moved and gave you glimmers of what a gentleman he could be. I've adored Crawford all my life. A few years ago I was so sad to hear that we share a very unfortunate connection. We've both developed a systemic neuroimmune disease called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It's taken almost everything away from me during the past 12 years, including my ability to work, and I'm barely able to care for myself. It keeps me in a constant state of illness, but one thing it hasn't taken from me is my precious memories of that day on Broadway so many years ago. I wish so much I could meet Michael and give him a huge hug. I'm thankful that he's doing better these days. 💜
My god, what a beautiful story
may god bless you for sharing doc
Wwith
Willpower.u will..
Overcome
God bless u
Thank you for sharing those beautiful memories. I also saw Sarah Brightham and Michael Crawford what a memorable experience. God be with you each and every day.
THAT is like hitting the lottery jackpot of Broadway musicals. This is one of the few times I really get jealous of people being able to watch celebrities I wanted to see but did not. Lucky for you!
When they harmonized "Only then can you belong to me". I had goosebumps. 🥰
This and the four Valjeans are simply magical. This kind of gig is the reward the fans of the musicals deserve.
Wow. I just love The Phantom of the Opera.. And Sarah Brightman is a true Angel! Gosh she looks like a Greek Goddess with the Phantoms around her! Classic! love it
Sitting here working 3rd shift listening to this tearing up at the absolute beauty of this whole thing. Truly a masterpiece that can evoke such emotion at any time it’s heard.
It’s great to see Anthony Warlow representing Australia here. Rest in peace Rob Guest…
Anthony does so well when singing
From Jekyll and Hyde to Phantom to Sweeny Todd
They're all incredibly talented in their own way. Michael Crawford is my personal favourite though. 🥰
Agreed. It's a real shame he couldn't perform along with Sarah.
@@erintwomey3846 although he did show up for the anniversary which is enough for me to see Sarah and Micheal on stage even though not singing together
@@Marrythenightgaga101 Yeah, that too
five phantoms and 1 sarah brightman. the look in the faces of cast and executives, so proud of sarah's performance. very sweet voice. then, "soar................."
My wife took me to the Majestic this past March for our 35th Wedding anniversary. Absolutely amazing production.
I lost my mind when I saw Colm Wilkinson enter the stage! He holds a special place in my heart because he was the Canadian Phantom. Thank you for uploading this video!
Both Colm and Ramin are both Canadian actors who were on stage in the Canadian company of Phantom.
Colm and Ramin did a duet in a production of Les mis.
5 phantoms if you include Ramin.
That is truly the best part about the show!
6 if you include Michael!! Just his presence was worth it.
They forgot Howard McGillin and Gerard Butler!
Was Antonio from after this show?
Watched it in London last week still took my breath away ❤
I was lucky enough to see her in Phantom many years ago. She was incredible then and she still is. I guess it's a perk of being old. I got to see all the og casts in all the Broadway plays.
OMG I'm in heaven!! Seen it 4 times on Broadway.I will see it again! Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman! I am Over the Moon!!
All cast Christine's are wonderful and cast for a reason, it must be a grueling process. But Sarah is beyond ♡
Vow
That lady...what a voice..range...lovely...enchanting..magical voice..
All singrs great😀😍😍😍😍
The average human cannot help but be amazed and astonished at these fabulous voices that come out of their mouths. It has to be truly remarkable for someone to open their mouth and have fabulous sounds emanate from their throat! Of course there is voice coaching, training and musical knowledge that comes with their education but it is still a remarkable talent that we appreciate and love to hear. And ALW is a remarkable soul who can write these wondering musical entities that please us all.
All four of the past Phantoms. This must be such an honor for them to perform once again!
I loved Phantkm of the opera. When it came to Iowa from Broadway. I took my husband...then a week later I took my grown daughter. Before it left the city I took my teen age grandaughter. So I saw it 3 times. Sarah Brightman was in the original cast. If I remember rightly Sarah was romantically involved with Andrew Lloyd Webber and he wrote the Phantom for Sarah's beautiful voice. SHE WAS CHRISTINE for years....these are the greatest voices right here on stage together. What a treat.
God, this was amazing. My mom and I were both crying at the end of this. Phantom of the Opera has played a major role in my 14 years of life. I even plan on getting a tattoo of the mask one day. ♡
I have a full back piece. Started it at 18 after having it impact my life for the first time as a teen. Now I’m grateful my children adore it as much as I do 💗
We had it performed in Pretoria South Africa many years ago and I was fortunate enough to get tickets to see it again before they left truly wonderful. That’s what theatre is about is transporting you to another world. Absolutely amazing ❤❤❤❤
That was absolutely incredible!!! I didn’t realize Crawford was there till Ramin bowed to him. I got goosebumps! And tears.
Cameron Mackintosh tickles me. He’s so joyous, that smile. Like he’s hearing everything for the first time, every time. I love it ❤️
Que que é isso? Que voz é essa? Sensacional Sarah Brightman!
John Owen Jones will forever be my Phantom. He's got such a richness to his voice
Amazing voice
John Owen-Jones is known as the Friendly Phantom!
Same!.. he's a king
he has a beautiful voice but he lacks a little bit the aggressiveness and madness from Ramin and the haunting voice of Michael.
@@sloeberdoet John is more a sophisticated phantom than Ramin..all Ramin does is shout... John's final lair scene beats Ramin's by a long shot!...people automatically choose Ramin or Michael because they're easily assessable and well known..oh and cause Ramin's meant to be a " hot " phantom blah blah...
Anthony Warlow and John Owen Jones are the true king's of the role!.
What an iconic moment
Truly the best part of the show!
YOUR PROFILE
It really is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I saw Phantom twice in Melbourne, starring Anthony Warlow. Magic.
Wow! The amount of pure talent right there on one stage, mind blowing
Anthony Warlow is the best!
That high note blows me away every time, even had Andrew Lloyd Webber excited
Just keeping watching again, again and again. Superb performance and vocals. Love Sara Brightman..😍
When colm starts: Yay!
When Anthony starts: Yay
When Peter starts: yay
When John starts:WHOOOOOOOOOO
When Ramin enters: everyone goes crazy
When Michael appears: the craziness goes through the roof.
Ooo ooo op
Bravo to ALL,!!!!👏👏👏👏👏❤️🇨🇦 (special Bravo to Colm., his voice sings to me but they are all amazing!)
Colm Wilkinson is my Favorite! Something about that voice, it's so unique!!!! ❤️
17 minutes since upload and 1.4k views already.... It's good to know I'm not the only one who clicked as fast as humanly possible
That's gotta be such a relief when she hits that high note successfully.
Anyone else think 🧐 The Four Phantoms sounds like a great operatic band? They are all stunning and their voices incredible 🤩
Oh man. So many feels watching this video. Ms. Brightman is amazing as ever. She doesn’t seem to age at all - and still nails that E6. (And “Music of the Night” is still one of my favorite showtunes. So many great tenors all with different, unique qualities to their voices.)
I'm pretty sure that was lipsynced. You can hear an abrupt change in her vocal timbre after Peter Joback's "sing!" She suddenly sounds 20 years younger at the end than earlier in the song.
@@Ihdc1 You need to check your ears and work on your brain settings.
This was wonderful to listen to. Sarah Brightman still has an excellent voice. I could never sing like that for sure.
Absolutely brilliant. Love Colm Wilkinson.
The phantom of the opera lyrics:
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again
For now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
To glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
It's me they hear
My spirit and my voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery
Were both in you
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
Sing
My angel of music
He's there
The Phantom of the Opera
Sing (aah)
Sing (aah)
Sing for me (aah)
Sing my angel of music (aah)
Sing for me (aah)
I have brought you
To the seat of sweet music's throne
To this kingdom where all must pay homage to music
Music
You have come here
For one purpose
And one alone
Since the call when I first heard you sing
I have needed you with me
To serve me
To sing for my music
My music...
Music of the night lyrics:
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation.
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defenses.
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor.
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender.
Turn your face away from the garish light of day.
Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light,
And listen to the music of the night.
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams,
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before.
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar.
And you'll live, as you've never lived before.
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you.
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you.
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight.
The darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world,
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before.
Let your soul take you where you long to be.
Only then can you belong to me.
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication.
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation.
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in,
To the power of the music that I write.
The power of the music of the night.
You alone can make my song take flight.
Help me make the music of the night.
Спасибо
The Phantom of the opera is a must see. Seen it many times and would not hesitate to go see it again. If it tours after it`s ending on Broadway.
Literal GOOSEBUMPS and CHILLS. Had me smiling and crying at the same time.
Wooo! Was hoping they’d post this and more phantom vids since last time! So incredible that they are still all so great sounding!
I discovered this broadway master piece by watching a figure skating review in Minneoplis minnesota of the Olympic winners of 1988 featuring Brian Boitona who skated to the “music of the night”
I was mesmerized.
At the falsetto not at the end, Brian was doing figure eight patterns leaning back with a white poets shirt, building was dark and a diminishing spot lighting him as the song ends.
Unforgettable moment and unforgettable song!!!
Finding out where it was from I ran out a bought the soundtrack, since I’ve seen it 5 times in theaters and will always enjoy the power and music of Phantom, Andrew Loyd Weber’s best work!!
I love this video so much.. everyone just looks so happy and their performance is flawless and amazing💗 Also when Ramin honored Michael it brought tears to my eyes, this is one of my favourite things ever
