The Phantom of the Opera

   

  The Phantom of the Opera is a bittersweet  love story between two characters, Christine and Raoul. Christine lives happily with Raoul not knowing that the angel of music is in love with her, also known as “ The Phantom”. The phantom wears a mask to hide his deformity. Despite his imperfections on the outside, the Phantom is a musical genius and shares a lot in common with Christine. The Phantom later develops a strong attachment to Christine while she’s in love with Raoul, and tries to find a way to marry Christine. Other than the fact that it’s my favorite movie, the phantom of the opera is known for its beautiful and captivating soundtrack. One of my favorite songs are “All I Ask Of you, Think Of Me, and Wishing You Were Somehow Here”. My biggest dream is to watch the Phantom of the Opera live on broadway. The first time watching the Phantom of the Opera, I found myself looking deeper into the melody, the lyrics, and the rhythm. The Phantom of the Opera is utterly beautiful and I believe it deserves more recognition. The Phantom of the Opera is actually based on a true story, the Phantom’s name was Eric and his face was so deformed that his mother couldn’t even look at him, this explains why the phantom wears a mask in the movie. What I love most about this specific musical is that it has the ability to convey various sorts of emotions, whether it’s happiness, sadness, or despair. The first thing that comes to my mind of why I’m passionate about music is that it takes me to a whole new world. To be able to see my favorite musicals live on broadway is my life long dream, because there’s something about music that communicates in ways words could never. I will forever be fascinated by the art and beauty of theater.
