Phantom:
Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences ...

Slowly, gently night unfurls its 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 音楽 of the night ...

Close your eyes and surrender to your
darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life
あなた knew before!
Close your eyes,
let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live
as you've never lived before ...

Softly, deftly,
音楽 shall surround あなた ...
Feel it, hear it,
closing in around あなた ...
Open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which
あなた know あなた cannot fight -
the darkness of the 音楽 of the night ...

Let your mind start a journey
through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts
of the world あなた knew before!
Let your soul take あなた where you
long to be !
Only then can あなた 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 音楽 that I write -
the power of the 音楽 of the night ...

あなた alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the 音楽 of the night

Masked127 or alternatively; Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation darkness wakes and stirs imagination silently the senses abandon their defences helpless to resist the notes I write for I compose the music of the night. Slowly, gently night unfurls it splendor grasp it sense it tremulous and tender hearing is believing, music is deceiving hard as lightning, soft as candlelight dare you trust the music of the night close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth and the truth isn't what you want to see in the dark it is easy to pretend that the truth is what it ought to be 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 close your eyes start a journey to a strange new world leave all thoughts of the world you knew before close your eyes and let music set you free 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 You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the night

Tetske20 Aw, I love this song. And the lyrics are phantastic.

wanderingchild7 I used to love the modern version of the lyrics but now I just can't live without the original.

My review of the 25th anniversary edition

posted by elstef

I recently saw the 25th anniversary on PBS, and while I enjoyed it I did have some problems with some of the performances. I felt like the actress playing Christine was trying too hard to play up the ingenue aspect of the character. One example of this is when she first starts 歌う in Don Juan Triumphant. She's prancing around the stage like she truly has "no thoughts within her head." I much prefer the solemn take of the song that they used in the movie. However, I do think that the actress in the play got better when they moved onto "point of no return".
I mostly liked the lady playing...

Phantom: Thoughts on the book

posted by Fumblemunch

Righty-oh totally bored at this moment and no points for guessing what and who’s in my head, the same thing which is always there, the same thing thats been there since I discovered it, Phantom. Basically I started with the 表示する then continued to the book and the film but I'm starting with thoughts on the book as it is the most important. It is the real POTO. I had planned to save 読書 it until my holiday yet when it came in the post I sat on the floor where I opened it and just read it all. I meant to just start it but once I had read the first pre chapter and learnt that the story was...

Which E/C ship could've actually come true?

Which E/C ship could've actually come true?

I think it’s Gerik and Emmy’s Christine from the 2004 film. The pair’s mental states and 愛 for each others seemed essentially もっと見る stable and genuine, than in other versions.

Gerik was clearly far less insane than any of the stage Phantoms I’ve seen, not to mention Leroux’s original Erik. He never even physically abused Christine. (Yes, he quite violently dragged her down to the lair in the end, but it didn’t seem to actually hurt her, and when he calmed down he was very gentle for...

愛 Never Was, so why don't they give up?

posted by bendaimmortal

I originally 投稿されました this on IMDB's board as VampireOutlaw.

No one wanted a sequel, <-- (generally speaking), it was still made, the critiques hate it, the ファン hate it, it keeps on having to close down...Yet it's still here?
I know it has its share of fans, but nonetheless the crucially and strongly negative reception seems to be the situation in general.

So why the bloody hell does ALW not give up? または if he can't bring himself to, why does he keep on trying with only minor changes?

~ First a sidenote:
Love Never Dies is not a sequel to the 2004 movie because that movie is Joel Schumacher's interpretation...

THE CURSE OF THE OPERA

Three days ago, on the 23rd of June 2013, a crisis to go down in the history of musical theatre occurred. The female lead, Christine Daee, in London's best loved musical, the Phantom of The Opera, was found dead in her hotel room after the magnificent first show's finale. Phillipa Jones, who played the role, had previously been telling the rest of the cast outlandish rumours of a face appearing behind her mirror - as the Phantom did to Christine's in the play.

Distraught, yet convinced the 表示する must go on, the director (who will remain unnamed) forced her understudy to...

Curiosity Kills

This was written for the Featuring Luciana challenge. The challenge: Write a oneshot story describing Luciana's thoughs on Erik, shortly before her death.

“I want あなた to take off the mask. Please take off the mask.”

    I am standing in front of Erik, begging him to remove the mask that hides his face from me. I want to know his face, to see him.

    “You must excuse me, mademoiselle. I have work to finish.”

    The nerve of him! “I will not excuse you! あなた don’t have work to finish! I want あなた to take off...

At the Royal Albert Hall

posted by Rac801

I have seen T.P.O.T.O many times, and most of them have been the 25th anniversary performance. This performance is by-far my favorite. Ramin Kariloo is the BEST Phantom I have ever seen. Sierra Boggess is also the best Christine. Hadley Fraser is one of the best Raoul's I have seen. Even Meg and Madame Giry were fantastic. Carlotta was probably my least お気に入り actress. I enjoyed this performance so much better because the actors seemed like they were literally their characters. I hope あなた enjoyed this and あなた can watch the entire performance on youtube. Thanks!

ALW film: The ending's meaning?

posted by bendaimmortal

There are various interpretations of why the old Raoul brings the monkey 音楽 box to her grave and some even think that all the old Raoul parts of the movie are completely useless. However, I'm one of those who believe that while the film would've worked perfectly well even without Raoul travelling anywhere with the 音楽 box, all the old Raoul clips are perhaps the most essential aspect of the entire film's basic point. I think they are the ultimate aspect that drastically differs the film from the stage play.

A monkey symbolizes many things that are strongly related to the story. Essential...

Book Character analaysis: Carlotta

posted by Fumblemunch

Carlotta is writen as a horrid character. She tells rumors and plans schemes to eliminate christine as her competition. I think what is often overlooked is that Carlotta is one of the so many victims of the book. From what is written あなた can tell that Carlotta was extremely talented as an opera singer as the book mentions how perfect an instrument her voice was. She had the misfortune to be ill and be replaced によって someone far もっと見る loved and adored than herself, that in itself is enough to make anyone mad, take a 日 of sick and your job isnt waiting for あなた when あなた get back. Not only was she...

An Attempt to (at least partially) Rationalize LND

posted by Phantomess

It is no secret that I'm not fond of 愛 Never Dies. I don't like the idea of ALW making a sequel to a 表示する that had no need of one, I don't like the fact that although a good portion of the 音楽 (while fairly pretty) has been recycled または pinched from other sources while Wee Andy brags about how it's the best thing he's ever done and it's SO original, and I especially am appalled によって what has been done to the characters. However, as it exists and it is impossible to avoid it in the fandom または erase it from my memory, I have decided that I must analyze it and try to figure out just what in the...
