This opera mainly tells a story that happened in Paris in 1881.
A miserable man like Quasimodo wanders in the maze-like basement of the Paris Opera House. His youthful misfortune makes people sympathize with his life experience.
But his ugly face makes people fear and reject him even more. I don’t know how many years he has been at the Opera House, but he is content to become the devil in people’s hearts and the ghost of the Opera House.
Music Analysis
"The Phantom of the Opera" is based on events that took place at the Paris Opera House. "Phantom of the Opera" uses a large number of classical music backgrounds, adds musicals, puts opera within musicals, and creates a musical masterpiece.
Although "Phantom of the Opera" has a terrifying and thrilling atmosphere, the director's pursuit is to mobilize all musical and stage expression methods and give full play to the musical's comprehensive stage advantages (vocal music and choreography).
The entire musical uses a musical language that is similar to a serious grand opera, and introduces the concept and method of "musical drama unfolding" to combine the two men Ghost, Christine, and Raoul into one woman. The beauty of the relationship, the sincere yet slightly sad romance, and the emotional blend of love and fantasy are extremely poignant and moving.
