Phantom Of The Opera

By Anthony Rodriguez

Why does Waters hate Andrew Lloyd Webber?
In general, he just doesn't like ALW's music, and doesn't mind saying so. But specifically, there's a section of Webber's Phantom of the Opera that bears a marked similarity to a part of "Echoes." The opening notes to the "Overture" of Phantom (Track 2, Disc 1) are C# C B Bb A C#. This matches rather closely a section of "Echoes," approximately 6:06 to 6:16.S. Todifcop and I collaborate on writing the captions and he draws all of them with Freehand. If you want to hire him to draw or illustrate, just contact me and I can email you his contact information. I LOVE MUSICALS! I enjoy the soundtrack to Wicked and the movie soundtrack of Phantom of the Opera. WOW that movie got me excited when I saw Gerard Butler playing the Phantom.. I thought WOW! He's not the Phantom of the Opera. he's the HOTTIE of the OPERA! Oh he's dreamy.. sigh.

How old is Christine?
In the movie, Christine was born in 1854 and died in 1917. The events of the story take place in 1870, making Chritine 16.There is only one ring, the ring Raoul gave to Christine. According to the scene description in the script during the final lair scene - "He holds up the ring he tore from her neck." So yes, it is in fact the ring Raoul gave Christine which the Phantom then took from her during the Masquarade scene.

Where did you get the Phantom of the Opera remix that you use in your Vampire Hunter D video?
I got it from one of my friends, who got it from a file sharing program. I don't know who did the song, but I know you can download it from various file-sharing programs such as KaZaa by typing in "Phantom of the Opera techno." I think it's a version from some Dance Dance Revolution game, but I'm not sure.

Is Phantom Meg Giry's father?
No, he isn't. During Down Once More, he sings, "This face that condemns me to wallow in blood has also denied me the joys of the flesh." He's a virgin.Mr. Crawford has talked repeatedly of his connection to the character of the Phantom and that he never tires of performing the music. On the December 16th airing of The Howie Mandel Show he was asked by the shows host, "They are doing a movie of The Phantom of the Opera and YOU should play the Phantom of the Opera, right?" Crawford's response, "I would love to do it, yes.

Does the Phantom have a real name?
Erik is the Phantom's name in the original Leroux novel, and in most adaptations of the story. However, in the musical version he is simply known as the Phantom.The Special Edition has all of the music and some of the lead ins, as well as a small photo "book" section.I got it from one of my friends, who got it from a file sharing program.
