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.

My husband and I had this at our wedding. It was our song. I had it played at his funeral. It will always be our song.

When you are young and immature, you watch this and think, "Go away Raoul!...Christine and the Phantom belong together!" 
Then when you grow up, you realize that Raoul really was the good guy and the right choice. The Phantom didn't love her, he was just controlling, abusive, and obsessed. He was always "punishing" her for not doing and being what he wanted. 
Raoul was kind, giving, patient and forgiving.

[YoungSugarCane]

She would have made a great Belle for beauty and the beast

[TheDillon]

Probably THE most romantic song I've ever heard.

[anyastuart]

“Music of the Night” is the Phantom’s love song to Christine. He sings it all by himself, indicating that he is controlling and possessive towards her, and won’t let her be her own person.

“All I Ask of You” is Raoul’s love song to Christine. This is a duet. This indicates that Raoul is encouraging and patient towards Christine, and lets her voice her opinions instead of making her his puppet.

No wonder she chose Raoul.

[noraeisele]

I always had a sinking feeling that Christine was betraying the phantom, that she left his deep devotion to her for a petty boy who gave her flowers and was nice to look at, until I realized just recently that Christine's love for Erik is Stockholm syndrome, and Raul is leading her out of a lifelong deception and swirling nightmare geniusly designed by Erik to trap her. I listened to this song for the millionth time once and realized that until she loved Raul she didn't realize what she had wasn't true.

[PlantagenetRose]

Phantom: I want to own you

Raul: I want to stay by your side

[christinakoontz]

I love when she says, "Say you love me..." and before she finishes, he says, "You know I do." It's just so freaking romantic!

[mariacillan]

Patrick's voice... is my bias. For me, he has the best voice for a Raoul. It's so comforting and soothing

[EpikAda]

Patrick Wilson is severely underrated as a vocalist. Without a doubt the strongest voice of the entire movie.

[bealatorre]

“Say you love me...”
“You know I do.”

That’s the cutest shit I’ve ever heard.

[megr]

I don’t care what everyone else says about him, I love Raoul. He had such good intentions and just wanted Christine to be safe and comfortable. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE how complex Phantom is. But Raoul is just great. (Especially Patrick Wilson)

[kyrios]

Used to prefer the phantom over Raoul when I was younger. But now I'd choose Raoul because his love is true.

[josephmamah]

I was rewatching this movie last month (I grew up with this movie) and I noticed something. Raoul sings about spending every *day* with Christine, but the phantom sings about the *night* .It’s an interesting duality, and made me love the movie even more.

[rickandrews]

Patrick Wilson and Emmy Rossum sing this song better than any other duo. I think Wilson in particular is underrated as a singer.

[wyrmur]

Lolol I thought of this at school when a teacher was trying to get us to focus and said "Just focus. That's all I ask of you" and I kinda laughed really quietly and this has been stuck in my head ever since.

[prairieN]

Aaahhh! Everyone being so sad for the man who abuses, kidnaps, and murders when he doesn't get what he wants is exactly why so many people end up in abusive relationships and why it's so hard to get out.

[khadijasankoh]

Why is everyone hating on Raoul so freaking much. I understand that the phantom hypnotized us with his voice and strong appearance but he takes Christine hostage he doesn't have love for Christine. Unless love to u guys is obsession. Honestly they both have points on my board but Raoul can do much more for her.
