A review of the musical Cat and Phantom of the Opera?
The musical Cat's popularity overseas in the past 2 years is not only due to the purity of the work itself, but also to a modern lifestyle and concept advocated by Cat's drama and the people that this concept can correspond to in life. Cats' cleverness, cat's perversity and cat's free lifestyle are so novel that people are attracted. It is a strange discovery process to find a brand-new self-orientation from the cat's lifestyle. No one wants to compare his life with a cat's life, but from the musical Cat, from those strange little creatures and from their dreamy lives, we can learn from the perspective other than life. As described in the following paragraph:

noble in the maverick, beautiful in the arrogant spirituality;

with wisdom, keenness and a little sharp heart, you can be at ease in the endless rush;

Indulge, forget yourself, feel the world heartily, enjoy, pay and live unscrupulously;

A group of cats, endowed by creation, make them cats.

synopsis of the story of Cats:

The dance on the first night makes cats crazy

On a special night, at the annual family celebration of cats of Jericho nationality, each cat explains who they are in turn to the visiting human beings, and points out that cats have three names: daily names, elegant names and secret names.

Victoria, a naive young white cat, started with a solo dance "Please come to the Jericho Ball". They are waiting for their leader, the wise old Dutronimi, to choose a Jericho cat tonight, and this cat will be sent to the cloud nine to "get" a new life. Every cat tells its own story with songs and dances, hoping to be chosen as a reborn Jericho cat.

Jenny Anidotz is an old Gambie cat. She either sleeps or wanders all day. "Lantatag" is a cat who loves to play pranks and is full of charm for the opposite sex. The abandoned "charming Griese Bella" is a Jericho cat. She has been away from home for many years and has gone to the outside world. This time, she vowed to return to the family. The strong "Bustorf Joan" is a 25-pound cat. He spends all his time eating. Suddenly there was a thunderous crash, sirens sounded loudly, and the evil cat McVedy swaggered in. "Mungo Jerry and Lampley Dize" is a group of troublemakers who love to joke and play, always causing trouble for their family;

When the kind and wise leader "Old Dutronimi" arrived, the whole family was in jubilation. They prepared some programs: the cats performed a play called "The Terrible Battle between Peck and Porico under the Porico Dog March". The cats barked at each other in the clothes of rival dogs. The performance was interrupted by the evil McVedy, and the cats fled! Old Dutronimi calmed the commotion, and the Jericho Ball started as scheduled, and all the cats danced and celebrated.

Act II, "Why is summer late and how time passes?"

"Gus the Theater Cat" is an old actor who once worked with the greatest actor of his time. He is suffering from gout. "Skimble Shanks, the railway cat" is the friendly uncle of all cats. The evil McVedy kidnapped the old Dutronimi. McVedy pretended to be the old Dutronimi, and two cats recognized him: one was Timite (a frightened kitten), and the other was the sexiest big cat, Bob Lourena (a carefree girl). McVedy's evil deeds earned him a nickname-"Napoleon the Crime"; When McVedy was exposed, he got into a fight with other male cats in Mankustra. He short-circuited the wires so that all the lights went out, and Jericho cats fell into darkness. Lantag called "Mister Philip" and asked him to use magic to find the leader. Mister Philip succeeded and the light came on again. It's time for old Dutronimi to decide which Jericho cat will be reborn. At this time, Griese Bella sang about the past with the song "Memories". The family accepted her return. She was chosen as the cat who was reborn as "going to ascended a cloud"! Jericho's party is coming to an end, old Dutronimi told the human bystanders dressed as cats. As far as its unique character and differences are concerned, "cats are very much like you".

All the stories are still going on. There are you and me here, and nothing has changed. Whether it is night or day, let's become a cat ...

A legendary Phantom of the Opera tells a story that happened in Paris in 1881. A quasimodo-like bad karma wanders 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 content to be the devil in people's hearts and the ghost of the opera house.

This opera is a legendary story about the phantom of the opera.

A tragicomedy

In this opera, someone only appears for a short moment and then disappears. Some people, however, are still alive after the transformation of things. Some people growl at the injustice of fate and take revenge on the society, while others enjoy the glory and happiness of the nobility and enjoy life. Sink into the mire of love, or be crazy about love. Everything happened in the theater of the Paris Opera House. This is a tragicomedy of 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 the 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.

Phantom of the Opera, a "Elephant Man" born in a noble family, wears a mask as his first dress after he came to this world. Just because of his appearance. He was rejected by the glamorous world, without respect and care. Wandering around, he has become the target of others' curiosity everywhere, and even become a clown in the iron cage of the circus. .....

I like the role of "Phantom of the Opera", because although he looks ugly, it can't hide his innate aristocratic temperament, his outstanding talent and his pursuit of love. He loves Christine, a seemingly unknown dancer in 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 become a goddess that will make the whole Paris fall.

The Phantom of the Opera thinks Christine is his, or because he has devoted all his enthusiasm to her. She represents all his rational (love of music) and irrational (crazy about love) pursuits. The Phantom's heart was broken when Christine and Raoul vowed 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 that he can't change everything in the real world. That's why he used the trick of stealing the beam and replacing the column, killing Pianji, playing himself as Don Juan, becoming a role in his opera for Christine, hiding his face under a thick cloak, and performing this swan song with his lover on the stage in the Paris Opera House where the police are everywhere. Hope to be the master of love in the world he created himself.

Perhaps, he knows that in the tragicomedy staged in reality, he must die. He took Christine. However, did he really want to possess her and occupy her? Not necessarily. Because when Christine didn't care about his appearance and gave him a deep kiss, he trembled. I can even feel tears on that monster-like face. This is a feeling of happiness, a happiness that ordinary people can't appreciate. He is not cruel, nor does he lack sympathy. What he needs is the respect of others and the respect of the people he loves.

He can give up Christine and let her fly away with Raoul. But I hope to see Christine's frankness 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 self-abased personality. But how can we evaluate a person's personality? 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 of a fantastic imagination of his young partner. In other words, the opera is somewhat thin in depicting their love. It makes people feel like a Cinderella meeting a prince. It even makes people think that Christine is with Raoul because of his noble status and wealth.

and what happened to Raoul and Christine? There is no way to know. Why was Raoul the only one at the auction at the beginning of the opera? Where's Christine It's been 3 years, but has this beautiful girl of the whole city been buried underground? I don't know if she still remembers the ugly but talented phantom.

A fascinating beauty

Gorgeous costumes, exquisite scenery, unpredictable stage and professional actors. Makes this Broadway opera look so beautiful. From the beginning of the performance, when the 663rd lot was displayed at the auction of the Paris Opera House, I felt as if I had come to Paris in 1911. The dim auction site, Raoul, dusty posters, some mechanical failure cymbals, overturned chandeliers, people can't help but throw themselves into it.

suddenly, the time and space are reversed, and the Paris Opera House 3 years ago was a golden wall. In the rehearsal of Hannibal, some Pianji, who plays big cards, is singing with his stomach out. The light shone on his general's armor. Only amazing. .....

When the scene moves to the underground lake of the Opera House, dry ice creates a fantastic effect. The boat crossed the lake. The Phantom of the Opera now seems to be a boatman driving gondola, leading Christine to his palace.

when Raoul and Christine came to the top of the opera house to avoid the phantom of the opera, the charming night view of Paris in the 19th century appeared on the background wall. The flickering candlelight in the streets echoes the stars in the sky. As if wandering in the Milky Way.

Christine came to her father's grave to pour out her heart and troubles. The phantom appeared beside the cross. Affectionate singing, ambivalent psychology, gloomy costumes, pale masks, and dark crosses. People also feel infinite sorrow for him.

At the end of the opera, a girl came to the winding basement and found the mask under the cloak of the Phantom of the Opera. When she picked it up and stopped, she suddenly felt that time had passed. This feeling is no less than the montage in the movie. Seeing this scene, it was the first time that I was completely impressed by the charm of the theater performance. It's beyond words. It's a fascinating beauty.

The first time I went to Shanghai Grand Theatre to watch a performance, I was deeply impressed by the charm of opera. I can only say that the Phantom of the Opera gives me the feeling that it is a legend, a tragicomedy, a story about love and an intoxicating beauty.

Synopsis of Phantom of the Opera

In 1911, the Paris Opera House was about to be auctioned, and all kinds of auctioneers, buyers and bidders gathered at the auction. Raoul, 7, was in a wheelchair and bought a poster and a music box. The auctioneer displayed a giant crystal glass chandelier, which showed that the lamp was related to the Phantom of the Opera House. After a flash, the audience was taken back to the heyday of the former Paris Opera House.

Act I

Mr. Rafael, the retired manager of the Opera House, is introducing the stage to the new managers, Mr. Furmin and Andre. At this moment, carlotta, the heroine, was singing when the background curtain suddenly fell and almost killed carlotta. People began to talk: "It was the phantom of the opera".

Meg Gilly, the daughter of Mrs Gilly, a ballet instructor, suggested that her friend Christine should sing instead of carlotta. Christine's performance in the opera was very successful. A nobleman and theater patron named Raoul recognized Christine as his childhood friend. After the performance, Raoul came backstage and invited Christine to have dinner with him, but Christine told him that she couldn't because her teacher "Angel of Music" was strict with her.

When Raoul left Christine's room, the Phantom appeared, luring Christine into the bottom of the Opera House, where the Phantom will continue to teach Christine.

The Phantom leads Christine to his underground residence, where Christine sees a horrible portrait of her in a wedding dress. She fainted in shock. A few hours later, Christine was awakened by the organ music played by the Phantom of the Opera. She gently walked behind the phantom of the opera and tore off the mask of the phantom of the opera. The Phantom of the Opera was very angry and sent Christine back to the ground.

If the opera Muto II goes ahead as planned, carlotta will play the leading role and Christine will play the supporting role. As promised by the Phantom of the Opera, tragedy arrival, the theater handyman Joseph Burquet was killed, and carlotta lost his voice.

The Phantom of the Opera was very angry at Christine's betrayal. At the end of another night's performance, the Phantom of the Opera let the huge crystal glass chandelier fall and hit the stage.

Act II

The opening of Act II is a large masked ball held on the steps of the Paris Opera House. I haven't heard from the Phantom of the Opera for six months. Christine and Raoul are engaged, but the news has not been made public. Christine has hung the engagement ring on her necklace.

Suddenly, the Phantom of the Opera appeared. This time, he dressed up as a red death and gave the theater manager the score of an opera called Don Juan's Victory.

at first, the manager refused to perform this bizarre and weird opera. Later, at Raoul's suggestion, they decided to set a trap for the Phantom of the Opera, pretend to plan to perform "Don Juan's Victory", let Christine be the bait, and then design to catch the Phantom of the Opera.

& hbsp; & nsbp; Finally, the opera "Don Juan's Victory" premiered. Guards and police surrounded the Opera House, trying to catch the Phantom of the Opera. When the opera drew to a close, the Phantom of the Opera took the place of Pianji, the hero, and sang with Christine, and then took Christine into the maze-like underground world under the opera house again. At the last moment, the Phantom asked Christine to be with him forever.
