The famous musical Phantom of the Opera is here is Singapore again!! I remembered that this musical once came to Singapore many years ago when i was still in secondary school & i have always wanted to catch it but didn't as the tickets were really very expensive. And now..finally..I am going to watch it!! :)
It was my first time stepping into the esplanade to watch a real life musical. The threate was quite magnificant, quite like the music halls i saw in tv & it was packed with people (a testiment of how popular this musical is). The stage was decorated with all the beautiful & elaborate props & beneath the stage was a full orchestra. Only a true musical could have such elaborate settings.
And the show starts! The phantom of the opera is actually a story about a the phantom who falls in love with singer Christine. He taught her how to sing & even helped her to be the lead singer of many performances. But Christine only see the phantom as a teacher; she fell in love with her childhood friend instead. As the phantom's procession if Christine increases, she begins to fight off, resulting in a tragic end whereby the threate falls along with the phantom...
The story was quite a touching 1 & together with the magnificant stage effects and nice songs, it was a really nice show worth every cent of the ticket. Almost wanted to grab some souvenirs on the way out but didn't in the end as it was kind of costly but nonetheless the show alone was something I truely enjoyed!
So people wait no longer & catch this musical soon!
