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...)

voice
In one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my (your) mind (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 here (there)
Inside my (your) mind

Sing, my Angel of Music! (He's there, the Phantom of the Opera)
Sing for me

Sing my angel, sing

Sing for me

There was a version with Tarja and Marko, which was amazing. Now, there is a version with Floor and Henk Poort, which is also amazing. Both are different, but both are rocking! 🤘

[FloorJansenOfficial]

Keeping promises! ❤ What an amazing thing to experience. After performing it multiple times with Henk during my solo shows and on TV it has been an honour that my promise to Henk to perform it with Nightwish was granted. I hope you all enjoy it!

Nightwish: the only band that can change singers, musicians, producers, drumsticks, mics, shoes, etc, etc, but still give every song the fucking chills.
THANK YOU TO EXIST

[jordanflati]

Henk showing up looking like the Janitor of the Opera but slaying the song.

Fantastic.

[KaioticNeutral]

Her hitting and holding that last note fills my soul with pure happiness

[PB-Trinity]

When comparing this performance to End of an Era's, so much has changed during these 17 years : Tarja, Anette, Troy, Floor, Jukka N., Kai, Marko and Jukka K. Band members came and went but the magic at the center of it all is still here and better than ever. Thank you Nightwish...

[prakkari]

The janitor in the T-shirt and jeans that wandered in there had a powerful voice. He should make singing his day job.

[mattgraham]

the fact that henk poort was excited to be a part of this what a very top tier performance what a holy heavy metal masterpiece what a insane high that was especially for the audience that was really bad ass

[grantharriman]

This is about the third rendition of Floor and Henk doing this song, and I find it really interesting how different Henk's delivery is on this one. He went much harsher for a metal crowd than he did for the more general audience of "Beste Zangers". He's changing his performance to suit his audience. That's a committed performer.

[JuanCarabajal]

Seeing Floor healthy and happy brings tears of joy to my eyes. What a beautiful human being she is. Beautiful performance, Nightwish forever 💕🔥

[miraclelife]

I have heard different versions of The Phantom of the Opera. Each has its merits! Personally, for me, the performance of Floor Jansen and Henk Poort is the best, the most impressive, the most powerful, the most beautiful, the most captivating! Floor creates a mythical, mysterious feeling when she appears on stage and sings. She is multi-talented, has great stage presence and a magical aura! Floor and Henk absolutely complement each other, their performance is fantastic! This extraordinary woman and singer has a special beauty that captivates and conquers! God, I can listen to her 24/7.

[ReSpawNnL]

It what an absolute pleasure to see this show twice. The first being completely shocked by Henk's appearance, the second being taken away by the perfect joining of two amazing voices.

WE WERE THERE

[FINNlSH]

Its so wholesome having Henk Poort. As classical opera singer as there is hopping into the metal mayhem without a second thought :D What a class act through and through.

[augustjoseph]

All do the high notes were perfectly in tune. The D6 was also perfection! She started and sustained center pitch throughout. Wow, just wow. Floor never fails to deliver!

[CharladyOne]

I love how the keyboard player is always having such a good time, smiling, he looks very happy. Great!

[jhnnK]

Thank you for making Henk's wish come true, and it delivered us a great performance.
For many Dutch people, this is basically a national pride thing, two of our most beloved singers together with the best symphonic metal band in the world, again.. thank you so very much for this.

[ZeitdiebX]

Uncle Henk enjoying himself to the max, in a Nightwish shirt, Floor smiling her girlish, secret smile as she hears him sing. The band getting into the epic spirit of the moment.
This is utter perfection.

[melkisedeck]

This is the most impressive thing I saw this year.

Floor Jansen - the Goddess of metal!

[neongirl]

The version with Tarja and Marko is more aggressive and passionate. The version with Floor and Henk is full of tenderness and sensuality. Both versions are amazing! ❤‍🔥

[TerrorTjon]

The length of that end note was ridiculous! I had chills during the whole performance. This was 17 years worth waiting! What an absolute pleasure to have witnessed this live with the fans in Amsterdam and now the rest of the world can witness this epic performance!🤘
