They used to sit together and listen to Monsieur Daae, Christine’s father, play the fiddle, or tell them stories of the Angel of Music. Raoul, otherwise known as the Vicomte de Chagny, was Christine’s childhood friend. Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny (and the Comte de Chagny too)
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA MASK MEME MOVIE
So, same as we did last week, I’ll highlight three differences between the book, the musical and the movie adaption of the musical. A wealthy, deformed genius lurks in the labyrinth beneath the Paris Opera House and falls in love with a beautiful young (somewhat naïve) ballet girl. Throw in some murder, a bunch of noblemen (or just one, depending on the adaption), a spoilt diva and a chandelier and you have a love triangle which accumulates in chaos and torture. Like Les Mis, Phantom has three major incarnations–Gaston Leroux’s book Le Fantome de l’opera, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s astoundingly popular musical, and Joel Schumacher’s movie version of the aforementioned musical.Īcross all three, the plot remains essentially the same.
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA MASK MEME SERIES
If you weren’t around last week, I’m currently doing a series every Wednesday (*cough* or Thursday) centred around popular books and their musical and movie adaptions, comparing them and then throwing in my opinion on which is best, and asking you for your opinions at the end! Last week, we looked at Les Miserables and this week we’ll be looking at (you guessed it)…
And then it was Thursday and I still hadn’t written a post…hey, I have no idea what you’re talking about, I’m not procrastinating or anything. So….*here we all pause awkwardly* I completely forgot that it was Wednesday and that I needed to write a blog post.
