About:
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 30th 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.

When Eric looks at Christine, he loses his "tough-guy" gate and becomes honestly sentimental and emotional. He is literally trembling with love, and I think Madam Giry can sense it.

I JUST REALIZED HE WANTED HE WANTED PIANGI TO LOSE WEIGHT SO THEY COULD LOOK AS SIMILAR AS POSSIBLE SO THAT NOBODY WOULD SUSPECT ANYTHING WHEN HE TOOK HIS PLACE

[emersonhuhse]

This is definitely one of my favourite scenes from the movie because he points out the flaws we all see in the other people, then shows that even the woman he loves has flaws. But he's so much more gentle towards Christine that you barely notice it.

I love how the No One Would Listen music plays in the background. (for people who don't know what that is it is a deleted scene from the movie) It plays right before he yanks the engagement ring.

This scene means so much to me! I think it really shows the love between Phantom and Christine.
1. He waves the sword at everyone except Christine, (he puts it away when he starts to talk to her).
2. At first she is afraid (for good reason, we know he's nuts) but when he really looks at her (3:12) the music shifts and she calms and moves toward him on her own.
3. She is shocked when he rips the necklace off, and for a second almost looks guilty.
I think if Phantom was more gentle with her and slightly less intense the could have been together. But his seperation from society is what caused a lot of his issues and he never learned any better.

Christine was so full of love when he said he was her teacher

[abigailcurry]

I love when he's starts talking to the managers at 2:15, his body movements is so sassy, I love it!

Opera populaire: (just enjoying life and partying)
Erik: *im about to end this whole mans career*

[fayebarise]

Phantom: Here I bring the finished
Me: (punches wall) *DON JUAN TRIUMPHANT!*

[JeffProbstInACowboyHat]

i love how Raoul first thought when Erik come out was to get his sword so he could protect Christine. you see his eagerness to protect her through out the movie

[estefanybosques-]

3:25 JEEZ look how hard this dude breathing lol xD his his heart skipped a beat 😂😂😂😂😂

[juliascotti]

1:47 the way he's just "girl bye" is giving me life rn

[charliecheadle]

Phantom: “I HAVE WRITTEN YOU A FANFI-


*stops*


Phantom: “i mean… AN OPERA

[CytotoxinK]

1:37 is how I intend to hand my master's thesis to my professor; throwing it at his feet while dramatically singing the title and brandishing a sword.

[alexanderchippel]

I'd like to image the conversation in which the phantom had to go out and explain to a trailer why he needed so many different suits and masks.

[wiinterflowers]

Completely off topic, but HATS off to the costume designer for this film.. AM I RIGHT?!?! Also, is the score that plays before "Why So Silent" available?

[brittneyrivera]

I wonder what would have happened if Eric didnt see the ring (or she didnt have it). What would she have responded with?? Cause it looked like he had her under his wing untill he snatched the ring.

[lordkrummi]

Fabulousness of the opera.
That everyone can have a nice mask to wear.

[elisebarger]

One of the best scenes in the film. He sounds and looks so menacing and oddly, I'm here for it!
