The Phantom of the Opera

Only one word to describe it, sooo good! I went to watch Phantom of the Opera yesterday with huey. This is my second time watching an opera, the first was kinda boring, and i couldn't understand what the whole thing was about cause they were singing their lines throughout. That gave me a bad impression of opera but i am telling you, Phantom of the Opera is so different!Totally changed my impressions of operas man. At least there were like conversations other than singing.

The settings, the technology, the cast, everything was almost perfect. There was this scene where the Phantom and Christine(the female lead) were on a boat an he was rowing it, and yes on the stage. They used mist to cover up the floorboard and i don't know how they did it but it really looked like they were rowing a boat on the lake! It moved from the back of the stage to the front and then back haha, so cool man.

And i guess most would agree one of the best part of this opera would be the music. When the Phantom and Christine was doing the duet-i don't know if the title is "Phantom of the Opera" as well but i think it is, my hair just stood. I can't describe it in words but they were so good! The symphony, the singing, the setting and that song, woo! Clichely speaking, it just takes your breath away.

Anyway i never knew what happened to the Phantom and Christine before i watched this, and i thought the Phantom would end up becaming so obsessed with Christine and killed her or something, but it was the total opposite. He was such a sweet character and actually gave up his so called "happiness" to let Christine have hers. I pitied him at that moment but reality struck me. Well let me just ask a question. How many of us can stand being with a disfigured man no matter how sweet and kind he was? I guess the truth hurts but not much people can do that. So as much as i pitied the Phantom then, i knew that any normal girl would definitely not choose to be with him; not forgetting that there was also hot Raoul(Christine's fiance)waiting for her.

Anyway back to topic. I really reccommend you guys to go watch it if you haven't. I think it came to Singapore already-if i am not wrong, but nevermind, if they ever come again make sure you go catch it! 5 Stars for sure = )
