Welcome to my "black despair'!
Description!
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera" is, I believe, the best Broadway musical ever made. It's about a deformed mad-man/ composer who, while writting his opera, "Don Jaun Triumphant", terrorizes the Paris Opera House and captures the beautiful Christine. While in his lair the first time, she takes off his mask and as you can immagine the Phantom is pissed. So, to make a LONG story short, he tries to get revenge but his plan backfires 5 stars. Excellent music!
This, in my opinion, is Mr. Robert Heindel's best work, entitled, "The End of Innocence". Well done Mr. Heindel!
This is a picture of the Phantom un-masked in his lair telling Christine she must marry him. "Pitty comes too late, turn around and face your fate, an eternity of THIS, before your eyes!"
This is a wonderfull piece of art, done by, I'm affraid I don't know. It is a drawing of the Phantom telling Christine, "....touch me, trust me, savor each sensation." Taken from the Music of the Night scene
A picture I got off another webpage. A wonderful picture of the Phantom and Christine. Probably taken for a magazine or something
A picture I got off another webpage, I believe taken from the Portland, Oregon production with Brad Little and Kimilie Bryant. I was lucky enough to see it
A picture taken from the music video of "The Music of the Night" The Phantom is singing:"....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"
This after Christine has torn off the Phatom's mask the first time. The audience does not see his face this time. She gives back his mask terrified after he sings: "Damn you, Curse you", and "Stanger Then you Drempt it"
The Phantom gets lucky. Toward the end of the play after he sings to her that she must marry him, she takes pitty on him and kisses him after she hears his pethetic story: "This face, which earned, a mother's fear and loathing. A mask, my first, unfeeling scrap of clothing..."
