PLOT SUMMARY
"
The story of a young chorus girl, Christine - a young talented singer who, with the right training, could become world famous. While rehearsing at the Opera Populaire, where weird and unexplainable things happen, she captures the attention and the heart of The Phantom, or as the Opera Populaire call him...The Opera Ghost. But he is no ghost - he is a disfigured musical genius who has hidden away for years to avoid the cruel stares of strangers. With the Phantoms help, Christine becomes the venue's leading lady, but tragedy awaits as the young soprano has fallen for the charms of handsome noble Viscount Raoul De Chagny, not realizing her Angel of Music is deeply in love with her. Insane with jealousy and unable to see the object of his affection, and ultimately is obsession, in the arms of another man, The Phantom kidnaps Christine - unaware of the lengths Raoul is prepared to go to get her back.

To give you my honest recount, during the ending portion whereby Christine didn't choose the phantom as the one she loves, my eyes became damp and I was holding back my tears soooo hard. It can be a melancholic musical but at the same time comedic. A twinge and mixture of romance, humor and poignancy.
You can most probably tell that I'm fully engrossed in the plot of the musical through my enthusiastic tone.The chandeliers, candles, boats, flamboyant costumes, lighting and everything you can name was prodigious. I can't emphasize how great the music and sound effect was. And in case you didn't know, there's an orchestra playing under the stage, you may be deceived thinking that it was just a soundtrack busting through loudspeakers. My ears -- smiling My eyes -- locked to the stage.
Yes, and this is the world famous chandelier that hangs from above.
The underground orchestra
P.S I got chided badly for taking a picture of this twice due to copyright infringement. But thanks to iPhone's speedy camera and my fast but crafty actions, I managed to capture a few images without being caught. (-;
Couldn't take any more photos during the musical because security was just toooooooo tight. :(
And having explained about how great this musical is, if you are a fan of melancholic plots or an avid literature reader, please do grab your tickets at sistic ASAP!! I bought mine 4 months back when they just started the sale of tickets,however,despite being such an early bird I still didn't manage to get the centre-front seats. Although I paid 168 dollars for a ticket, my seat was more to the side and it was so uncomfortable stretching my neck out like an ostrich more than half of the time. So try to book seats that are closer to the middle for best comfort and experience (:
Lyrics that dissolves the heart :
Sing once again with meOur strange duetMy power over you grows stronger yetAnd though you turn from me to glance behindThe Phantom of the Opera is thereInside your mind
Those who have seen your faceDraw back in fearI am the mask you wear
Your/My spirit and my/your voice in one combinedThe Phantom of the Opera is thereInside my/your mind
In all your fantasies, you always knewthat man and mystery
Were both in you
And in this labyrinthwere night is lifethe Phantom of the Opera is there,inside my/your mind
He's there, the phantom of the opera!
He's there, the phantom of the operas
Sing, my Angel of MusicSing, my AngelSing for meSing, my AngelSing for me "
