Follow The Phantom of the Opera everywhere:

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.

whoever designed the set of the Phantom's Lair needs to design my house

The only experience with music Gerard Butler had before making this film was singing in a rock band while he was studying to be a lawyer. He actually took singing lessons just for this film and god damn it payed off.

The electric guitar riffs are really underrated.

Can we talk about how intense and goosebump inducing it was to see the phantom keep looking back at Christine, as he pulls her through the mirror and leads her down to his lair? It’s like he’s checking to see that she’s still following him, before turning to look our direction with the most satisfied and proud, “she is mine” looking smile/smirk. It’s so brilliantly directed and believable and makes my heart pound so fast that I get almost light headed 🥺😍 can’t stop watching this scene 🥰🥰🥰🎶👏🏻

Fun fact: the living hands holding the candelabras at 0:06 are an homage to Jean Cocteau’s 1946 film Beauty and the Beast. In the film, the hallways of the Beast’s castle are filled with these same living candelabras, moving to light the way for Belle. It’s a beautiful and haunting bit of production design. Obviously, the Phantom and the Beast share the same Parisian interior decorator.

Notice how Christine is not wearing any make-up when she first walks with the Phantom, but by the end of the song, she is wearing make-up, symbolic of her blossoming from a naive teenager into a woman under the Phantom's influence.

Gerard Butler is and always will be my favorite Phantom. The raw emotion in his voice and the creepy acting... Perfect Phantom, if you ask me! 10/10!!!!

[skyeironroad]

The phantom is so handsome, just a hint of mystery from the mask and his voice.

[sariahbowman]

am I the only one that thinks Gerrard Butler is beyond handsome?

[wonheelovebot]

Honestly one of the best songs ever to exist.

[Ali_bean]

The fact that Gerad Butler (sorry if I spelt his name wrong) actually had no lessons while the actor for Raoul did makes me ten times happier

[LotoDrandel]

I hate that so many people have hated on this rendition of phantom of the opera; honestly, I find this movie version to be the best of ALL the versions that have ever been made (and I'm including the musicals along with this); to me this showed far more of the humanity that was hidden within the "Phantom" and even made him more of a worthy protagonist than Christine and Raul; a stellar performance by Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum for sure (even though Rossum didn't do many movies/musicals, this was an awesome performance)

[DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose]

Say what you want about Gerry's and Emmy's voices individually, but when they sing together, they're AH-MAZING. I can't get over how well they harmonize in this bridge! You can hear both of them clearly, Gerry's older, deeper baritone voice and Emmy's higher, younger soprano voice, but at the same time they manage to create such a beautiful balance between the two, and it sounds incredible! They do it in "Wandering Child" and "Point of No Return" as well, but this is definitely where their harmonization is the strongest.

[gracehuckeby]

Phantom: ok ok I've got it! Every time we come down here we are going to sing this song!"
Christine: what's the song?!"
Phantom:" ...my wicked cool theme song..."

[haihuanlin]

I love how this has drums synths and electric guitars yet it still works with the setting

[grace]

Can we just take a moment to recognize that last note sung by Christine? I have not seen this in the comments, and it needs to be said.

[beckyc.]

I mean, when you think of it, Phantom took Christine on one hell of a date!
He took her on a candlelit walk, on a horse back ride, on a gondola ride, too a musical, and then back to his candlelit house for some more wooing, all in one night!
Oh, and he also proposed! That could have been left out perhaps, but still... step up your game, gents!

[alexandercrew]

I know Gerard Butler always gets critisised for his role, but I don't think you can even think of him as playing the exact same role that Michael Crawford and Colm Wilkinson did in the original production. He is playing a different version of the role with a different tone that is a different take on the phantom. I think when looking at it that way, he does a good job.

[comicblossoms]

2:28 i don't think he suppose to be this handsome

[huntercarpenter]

I swear his voice is sooo hot you feel like you just want drown in every note and lyric that comes out of his mouth. I love the phantom
