  • Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again sung by Sierra Boggess as Christine, followed by herself and Ramin Karimloo in a powerful rendition of the Phantom of the Opera title song. This performance of Phantom of the Opera is also available separately on this channel.
    You can briefly see Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber in the audience between the two songs - I am sure he approved of this performance. Play it loud!
    Performed at the Royal Albert Hall on 2nd October 2012 at the Classic BRIT Awards and broadcast on ITV1 HD on 7 October 2012.

    The problem with Sierra Boggess as Christine is that she set such a high standard of excellence that all past, current and future Christine's are going to be compared to her.

      I agree to all of that. I read where she was hand-picked by Sir Webber himself because he felt that with her singing and acting skills, she was /is the total embodiment of Christine. Consider, out of 1000s of women who would have killed to play Christine on the 25th Anniversary POTO, he chose her. I also read where JOJ, was 1st on the list, but was doing Les Miz at the time.

    Wishing you were somehow here again
    Wishing you were somehow near
    Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
    Somehow you would be here
    Wishing I could hear your voice again
    Knowing that I never would
    Dreaming of you won't help me to do
    All that you dreamed I could
    Passing bells and sculpted angels
    Cold and monumental
    Seem for you the wrong companions
    You were warm and gentle
    Too many years fighting back tears
    Why can't the past just die?
    Wishing you were somehow here again
    Knowing we must say, "Goodbye"
    Try to forgive, teach me to live
    Give me the strength to try
    No more memories, no more silent tears
    No more gazing across the wasted years
    Help me say, "Goodbye"
    Help me say, "Goodbye"

      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
      Your/my spirit and your/my voice
      In one combined
      The Phantom of the Opera is there
      Inside your/my mind
      He's there
      The Phantom of the Opera
      Beware
      The Phantom of the Opera
      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 your/my mind
      Sing, my angel of music
      He's there, the Phantom of the Opera

    When Sierra Boggess sings this solo number from The Phantom of the Opera, I feel as if I am witnessing PERFECTION being sustained infinitely throughout the song, suspending time, itself, and filling in all sense of space. She is Christine personified in perfection.
    When Ramin Karimloo starts singing as the Phantom, his voice sends out electrifying shocks of erotic fantasy. The stage chemistry between him and Sierra in this musical is simply spell-binding theater magic. It is an exceptionally rare fusion of artistic talents who seem to bond even at the vibratory molecular level. During the first time I saw them together at the RAH performance to celebrate the musical's 25th anniversary, I was stunned, astounded, amazed and electrified by them.
    They are the artists and performers who are described beyond description by two word -- LEGENDARY GREATS.

    Sierra and Ramin have spoiled me for this musical. No one can compare to them. Sierra IS Christine. Ramin's voice is so powerful, he honestly takes my breath away. I love them! I'd do just about anything to see them perform live. I get chills just watching videos.

      @mimosa27 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@Ihdc1 Same here!! Let's not forget that the role of Christine was written FOR Sarah Brightman. In 90s I watched an old VHS tape of behind the scenes. Harold Prince (RIP 😢) was saying "It's the way she moves, the way she is." I will never forget that, for some reason. And Michael.... he has unearthly voice, with a hint of danger in it, always.
      I mean, there is no comparison

      I had the opportunity to see Phantom when it came to my town with a classmate of mine but she didn't want to pay the ticket prices. We wanted to sit in the balcony but the tickets were around $100 or up but I should've just went by myself because I've always wanted to see this show. So I decided to go see it by myself when it comes back to town this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me.

    Emmy Rossum has plenty of practice singing. She could sing in all twelve keys when she was younger and was selected for the Metropolitan Opera children's choir. She has done other things as well and I don't believe the same type of soprano as this lady.
    This lady has a lot of experience from Les Mis to Phantom of the Opera and is the original leading lady for the sequel. She originated the role of Ariel on Broadway and a whole list of other things. She has done Phantom numerous times. Obviously she is thought of as a very good singer. "Boggess began teaching various musical theater master classes and began to workshop an upcoming musical adaptation of the 1998 film Ever After." I'm afraid many in here don't have the expertise to critique either of these singers who are both equally wonderful.

    Can we not only take a moment to admire how amazingly talented Sierra is (as well as Ramin) for their singing alone, but on top of that, to go from "Wishing you were somehow here again," which is an incredibly emotional song, and then to jump right into "Phantom of the Opera" with only a moment between to recover and get into the mentality of the next song. That's talent. I can just imagine them asking her, "which one do you want to do first?" and her saying, "It's going to be a difficult transition either way."

  • @fullhousecast420
    @fullhousecast420 9 ปีที่แล้ว +470

    I don't understand how people like movie Phantom better than this. I saw this live, and Sierra literally looked bored while hitting the notes at the end of the title song. Her voice is perfect. Nobody in the movie version was a singer except Emmy Rossum (who does not have a Christine voice) and they only hired Gerard because he was famous and would bring in fans. No matter ho you look at it, Broadway puts the mmovie to shame.

      Its the acting and he chemistry which is better in the film. The voices yes are overall better but acting and chemistry is so important for the phantom of the opera as well - for the phantom is such a unique character. But we talking about two goods not either being bad.

    • @Eleglas
      @Eleglas 9 ปีที่แล้ว +38

      mrssalina Really? I'd disagree there. I think Ramin is THE best phantom there ever was, he has a power to him I've never seen in any other and it really shows with Sierra. The way he moves, controlling her, obviously it is well rehearsed but it still has incredible impact to me. And I always thought they did have great chemistry together, more so than with the guy who played Raoul, I forget the name.

    Ramon is my favorite is because he has a voice that carries a slightly antagonistic personality. That makes him fit into the character perfectly, the phantom who is a little mad, a little evil but mostly powerful showing his control-freak personality because he is so deeply in love. All of which is clearly portrayed by rami 's voice. The previous phantoms are simply too protagonist.

    Yesterday, the 17th of April 2020 I watched the anniversary performance of Phantom filmed At The Albert Hall in 2017 ! I have to admit I'd seen it before and had no idea what it was about but it memerised me ! Firstly the brilliant Wendy Ferguson but then by Sierra who I just can't believe I'd never heard of ! Now I see that this amazing performance has been watched over FIVE MILLION times and that every man adores her as much as I do !
