Flattering child you shall know me. See why in shadow I hide. Look at your face in mirror. I am there inside! Phantom: Ayanga (Ayunga) Christine: Yang Chen Xiu Yi/Pan Hang Wei
❤❤❤Bravo! Bravissimo! After so many years, I watched the film with Lian Nisso as the Phantom of the Opera. And to be able to watch the Phantom of the Opera, recently and especially adapted into Chinese! Transcendental! The singers' voices and interpretations gave me goosebumps, from head to toe! Beautiful! Gorgeous! A loving kiss from a Brazilian fan
I've goosebumps like every second watching this. Of course Ramin Karimloo & Sierra Boggess are legends, but the Chinese cast also captures every best thing of this show. Big respect to the show and all relevant person behind it.
I can't help but keep going back to this one. As a huge POTO fan, I am so in love with Chinese version. Costumes, stage, lyrics in chinese, and their acting, everything is so perfect, prepared with such care and dedication. So much respect for POTO Chinese team.
I'll say this, this production of Phantom of the opera is so damn dramatic and intense that I love it. I'm a huge POTO fan and these performances, especially coming from a Chinese production, are almost Oscar/Tony-worthy.
I came here to celebrate the first anniversary of the Chinese production and rewatch all those amazing moments of Ayanga's performance. And what I see is someone mentioning he sang the wrong word. Oh, the greatest sin of all. Is it the only thing that you can comment on and the only thing that you captured from almost 20-minute long video?? Actually I do not know Chinese at all but his singing is the best I have ever heard in my life.
15:33 ACT ONE SCENE TEN THE ROOF OF THE OPÉRA HOUSE (The PHANTOM emerges from behind the statue) PHANTOM I gave you my music… made your song take wing… and now, how you’ve repaid me: denied me and betrayed me… He was bound to love you when he heard you sing… Christine… Christine… RAOUL/CHRISTINE (offstage) Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime… say the world and I will follow you… Share each day with me, each night, each morning… PHANTOM You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you…! (As the roof of the opera house disappears, the opera curtain closes and the PRINCIPALS in ‘Il Muto’ appear through it for their bows, CHRISTINE conspicuously dressed in CARLOTTA’s costume. Simultaneously, we hear the maniacal laughter of the PHANTOM and see him high above the stage, perilously rocking the chandelier. The lights of the chandelier begin flickering and, at a great cry from him, it descends, swinging more and more madly over the orchestra pit) PHANTOM Go!! (The chandelier falls to the stage at CHRISTINE’s feet) END OF ACT ONE
6:42 SCENE FIVE, ACT ONE BEYOND THE LAKE, THE NEXT MORNING (Finally, they arrive in the PHANTOM’s lair. Downstage, the candles in the lake lift up revealing giant candelabra outlining the space. The boat turns into a bed. There is a huge pipe organ. The PHANTOM sits at the organ and takes over the accompaniment...) ... Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation... Darkness stirs and wakes imagination... Silently the senses abandon their defences... Slowly, gently night unfurls it’s splendour... Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender... Turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light - and listen to the music of the night... Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams! Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before! Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar! And you’ll live as you’ve never lived before... Softly, deftly, music shall caress you... Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you... Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, in this darkness which you know you cannot fight - the darkness of the music of the night... Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world! Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Let your soul take you where you long to be! Only then can you belong to me... Floating, falling, sweet intoxication! Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation! Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in to the power of the music that I write - the power of the music of the night... (During all this, the PHANTOM has conditioned CHRISTINE to the coldness of his touch and her fingers are brave enough to stray to his mask and caress it, with no hint of removing it. The PHANTOM leads her to a large mirror from which he removes a dustcover and in which we see the image of CHRISTINE, a perfect wax-face impression, wearing a wedding gown. CHRISTINE moves slowly towards it, when suddenly the image thrusts it’s hands through the mirror toward her. She faints. The PHANTOM catches her and carries her to the bed, where he lays her down...) You alone can make my song take flight - help me make the music of the night...
ACT ONE SCENE THREE CHRISTINE’S DRESSING ROOM. … CHRISTINE (calling after him) Raoul! (Quietly picking up her hand mirror) Things have changed, Raoul. (Tremulous music. CHRISTINE heard the PHANTOM’s voice, seemingly from behind her dressing room mirror) PHANTOM’S VOICE Insolent boy! This slave of fashion, basking in your glory! Ignorant fool! This brave young suitor, sharing in my triumph! CHRISTINE (spellbound) Angel! I hear you! Speak - I listen… stay by my side, guide me! Angel, my soul was weak - forgive me… enter at last, Master! PHANTOM’S VOICE Flattering child, you shall know me, see why in shadow I hide! Look at your face in the mirror - I am there inside! (The figure of the PHANTOM becomes discernible behind the mirror) …
