About the musical Phantom of the Opera 1500 words or so.
Phantom of the Opera tells a story that happened in Paris in 1870. A quasimodo-style evil deed wandered in the labyrinth basement of the Paris Opera House. Young misfortune makes people sympathize with his life experience, but his ugly face makes people fear and reject him. I don't know how many years he has been in the opera house, but he is willing to be the devil in people's hearts and the ghost of the opera house. This musical is a legendary story about the Phantom of the Opera. In a tragicomedy in this musical, someone only appeared for a short moment and then disappeared. However, some people are still alive after things have changed. Some people growl at the unfair fate and retaliate against the society, while others enjoy the glory and happiness of the nobility and enjoy life. Fall into the mire of love, or be crazy about love. Everything happened in the theater of the Paris Opera House. This is a tragicomedy mixed with love and hate. The ending was unexpected, but it was also happy. A story about love. what is love ? Who can make it clear? Behind two of a kind's happiness, there is always tragic self-sacrifice. Tolerance is love, spoil is love, unrequited love is love, attachment is love, sadomasochism is love ... each of us is deeply caught in the whirlpool of love. Looking forward to, enjoying, recalling and recalling love. The Phantom of the Opera, a "Elephant Man" from a famous family, wore a mask as his first dress when he came to this world. Just because of his appearance. He was rejected by the glamorous world, with no respect or care. Wandering around, he became the curious target of others everywhere, and even became a clown in the iron cage of the circus. ..... like the role of Phantom of the Opera, because although he is ugly, it can't hide his innate aristocratic temperament, his outstanding talent and his pursuit of love. He loves Christine, a seemingly unknown dancer at the Paris Opera House. The Phantom of the Opera created beautiful music and gorgeous operas for her, taught her to sing and trained her to dance. Help her to be the goddess who let the whole Paris fall. Does the Phantom of the Opera think Christine is his, or is it because he has devoted all his enthusiasm to her? She represents all his rational (love for music) and irrational (madness for love) pursuits. The phantom's heart was broken when Christine and Raoul swore to each other on the roof of the Paris Opera House. Feel helpless and abandoned again. The shrill cry resounded through the night sky in Paris, but it still could not change the fate. He doesn't want revenge, or he knows he can't change everything in the real world. That's why he killed Pianji by stealing columns, played himself as Don Juan, became a role in his opera for Christine, hid his face under a thick cloak, and performed this swan song with his lover on the stage of the Paris Opera House where the police were everywhere. A master who wants to have sex in a world he created himself. Perhaps, he knows that in the tragicomedy staged in reality, he must die. He took Christine. However, does he really want to possess her, possess her? Not necessarily. Because when Christine gave him a deep kiss without caring about his appearance, he trembled. I can even feel tears on that monster face. This is a feeling of happiness, a happiness that ordinary people can't understand. He is neither cruel nor unsympathetic. What he needs is the respect of others and those he loves. He can give up Christine and let her fly away with Raoul. But I want to see Christine's honesty and Raoul's persistence. When Raoul would rather be hanged than give up Christine, the Phantom of the Opera understood that this seemingly weak man had greater courage. The pursuit of love can bring great courage to people and vulnerable people. The power of love can make us forget all our fears and fight for them. Perhaps we can say that the cruelty of the Phantom of the Opera comes from his unfortunate childhood experience and his inferiority complex. But how can we evaluate a person's character? Everyone grows up with repeated injuries. When you are hurt by others, you often hurt others. But I think Raoul's love for Christine is more a fantasy of his young partner. In other words, this opera is a little thin in depicting their love. It feels like Cinderella met the prince. It even makes people think that Christine and Raoul are together because of his noble status and wealth. What about Raul and Christine? There's no way to know. Why was Raul the only one at the auction when the opera started? Where is Christine? 40 years have passed, but has this beautiful girl in the city been buried underground? I don't know if she remembers that ugly but brilliant vision. Fascinating beautiful and gorgeous costumes, exquisite scenery, unpredictable stage and professional actors. This makes this musical from West End of London, which was later staged on Broadway and other places, look so beautiful. From the beginning of the performance, when Lot 663 was displayed at the auction of Paris Opera House, I felt as if I had come to Paris in 19 19. The dark auction site, Raoul, dusty posters, some mechanical cymbals and overturned chandeliers make people can't help but throw themselves into it. Suddenly, time and space reversed, and the Paris Opera House was magnificent 40 years ago. In the rehearsal of Hannibal, there were some big-name film bases singing with their bellies up. The light shone on his general's armor. Only amazing. ..... When the scene moved to the underground lake of the Opera House, dry ice created a wonderful effect. The boat crossed the lake. The Phantom of the Opera now seems to be a boatman driving gondola and leading Christine to his palace. When Raoul and Christine came to the top floor of the Opera House to escape from the Phantom of the Opera, a charming night view of Paris in the19th century appeared on the background wall. The flickering candlelight in the street echoes the stars in the sky. As if wandering in the milky way. Christine came to her father's grave and poured out her heart and troubles. The phantom appeared beside the cross. Affectionate singing, ambivalent psychology, gloomy costumes, pale masks, dark crosses. People also feel infinite sorrow for him. At the end of the musical, a girl came to the winding basement, found the mask under the cloak of the Phantom of the Opera, picked it up and froze, suddenly feeling that time had passed. This feeling is no less than the montage in the movie. Seeing this scene, I was completely impressed by the charm of the theater performance for the first time. It's beyond words. This is a charming beauty. The first time I went to Shanghai Grand Theatre to watch a performance, I was deeply moved by the charm of musicals. I can only say that Phantom of the Opera gives me the feeling that it is a legend, a tragicomedy, a story about love and an intoxicating beauty.
