	Filmtracks: The Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber)
		One very curious change in "Angel of Music" and "The Mirror" (the reprise of the former) is the absence of the thumping bass strings that would be established as the foreshadowing of a Phantom appearance.
		The most irritating aspect of this version of "The Phantom of the Opera" is its shortened length; a quarter of the song is simply missing (the section that starts with the Phantom: "In all your fantasies...").
		Definitely underpowered are the Phantom's attempts to lure Christine in "Wandering Child," with poor vocal chemistry between the two leads and incompatible tones combining with the barely present thumping bass strings to suck all the magic out of the piece.

		Back then, the opera house was under the sway of the mysterious, elusive Phantom (Gerard Butler).
		Your garden variety tortured and disfigured musical genius, he despises the resident diva Carlotta (Minnie Driver, sounding suspiciously like the SNL character Roseanne Rosanna Dana) and does everything he can to drive her from the Populaire.
		She is his muse, his "angel of music," and therefore cannot give her heart to anyone else.

	KINNOPIO - The Phantom of the Opera
		The 35-year-old Butler plays the Phantom, a part usually given to an older actor, since the Phantom is supposed to be a surrogate father to the ingénue heroine Christine (Rossum).
		The Phantom’s possessive jealousy springs from his mentor-pupil attachment to Christine; without that, he becomes, as he is here, a deranged, operatic Batman, lurking in the rafters of the Opéra Populaire to enforce miscalculated measures of romantic justice.
		Then the Phantom learns that she is in love with Raoul, her childhood sweetheart and part of the new management team, and spins madly out of control as he realizes that he has increasingly little influence over her.

		That said, the filmed version of "The Phantom of the Opera" recaptures much of the wonderful sets and costumes of the current stage production while settling for a dearth of star power in the major roles - none to be exact.
		The handsome young Phantom is a generation too young to fit the story, and Butler's powerful masculinity makes the Phantom more like a mob boss than a musician.
		The music is flawless, the singing is flawless, the drama is more intimate, and the story development is improved.

		Those who consider the stage musical shallow and overblown probably won't have their minds changed by the movie, and devotees will forever rue that the movie took the better part of two decades to develop, which prevented the casting of original principals Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman.
		What Christine doesn't realise is that her angel of music is also the infamous Phantom and that he is obsessed with her.
		I suppose some might say that the voice of Gerard Butler as the Phantom may not be quite as polished as those before him, but it has a raw, sensual edge to it that exudes all the passion and longing of that tortured soul.
