Far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart cannot resist.
The musical opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre on 9 October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles, and there have been dozens of productions worldwide since then. Now in its 35th record-breaking year, The Phantom of the Opera continues to captivate audiences at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End, after more than 11,000 performances.

12 years later and I still find him incredibly attractive...
I must have no soul because i can't get a crush.
Coming from France and dreaming since years to watch this magnificient Opera, I had (thanks Daytix) the opportunity to buy a seat in the orchestra and spend almost 4 hours with tears in my eyes !!!! Great moment in a Life !!!
Same girl
Yeah me too. Like I know that he’s 49 now, but he’s pretty cute
Same here that's bad
To me, this is the best Phantom of the Opera performance, ever. Gerard Butler is fantastic with his performance. He has the passion for being the phantom and gives a new look to him by being so handsome. Emmy Rossum gives a wonderful performance, also.
Sameee here, i dont get the hate gerald gets. He sings so powerful. When i think of the phantom i think of someone who is hurting and angry. And gerald sings how the phantom feels and i love it
@@Iceicebaby0117 if hearing the hurt and anger from the phantom is important for you, I highly recommend the 25th anniversary recording, particularly the "All I Ask of You" reprise and the end. For some reason, the OBC recording falls super flat when it comes to voice acting, like they're delivering lines but not actually acting out the emotions. The more recent recording does much better in this department imo.
@@beckandcall672 to be fair, I think it's G's Scots accent that brings emotion out more clearly...nothing more emotional than a good sexy accent to give music a boost;)
@@Iceicebaby0117 he’s not the one actually singing though
@@00DerekC He did, he got singing lessons prior to filming. Plus you can hear its his voice. It is Minnie Driver who was dubbed. You can look it up :)
People seem to forget that this man has had no musical training I mean he is an actor but he still rocked it in my opinion is he as good as warlow or Crawford?....no but dang considering he is not a professional he still did pretty damn good lot of respect for him
***** based off appearance though. If you listened you'd always pick crawford.
+tommy gray to me he come pretty close to Crawford , of course nobody ever will , but I was blown away I could not believe it was him singing.
See I think the fact that he wasn't classically trained helps him. I feel as though there is more emotion in his singing, but that might be just me.
+Rachet87 me too
He was in a band
I think he is my favorite phantom because his voice isn't perfect. It is low and almost raspy, which I think fits with the character.
+Ella Trotter Agreed!
Strawberry Bunny Well the film adaptation didn't really stick fully to the original story, it had a fresher take on it which in my opinion really geared towards the next generation of theater fans. A broodingly mysterious and cruel character thats also more youthful than the past phantoms is what drew me closer to this version. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this Phantom was able to become more relatable to me. This movie is why I appreciate classics like The Phantom. I'm in love
+Strawberry Bunny knows what's up. "and the thing was that it was like a heavenly voice coming from a corpse-like person." :D
and if the story has been "updated" to a brooding, traumatized overly-insecure younger guy who doesn't actually even look that bad and is unaware of how amazingly hot he really is...that's great but it's just not Phantom of the Opera.
+Strawberry Bunny that was just in the book I think. The Broadway version is more like the book but still not the same. The people that made the movie said they modified it to be more relatable to younger viewers and that's also why his face isn't as deformed because they thought it would make too much of a disconnect with the audience
I couldn't really hear his voice through my laughter. All we know for sure is that Emily Rossum certainly required a regimen of Zovirax after "savoring each sensation" of Butler's herptastic kisses.
Though quiet yet almost silent, Butler managed to hold that last note for a good 23 seconds which is impressive! I’m still completely floored that for a man with little to almost no singing lessons, Butler did an absolutely great job with his singing and I’m sure he wanted to do his best even with barely any teaching on singing
And in terms of acting he nailed it. Erik is nothing like him? And he stilled managed to bring out the despair and twisted seduction.
Raghad Gibreel Sometimes, I pretend that I am this version of The Phantom of The Opera! Gerard Butler is my favorite Phantom of all time!
O'Fearghail the Fearless I tried singing this song but I can't hold that note I sing phantom of the opera much better
don't you realize that it was computerized?
yeah well I wasn't talking to you either!
Does anyone else find themselves loving this guy's voice!?
YESYESYESYES!!!
Yes me
YES! Gerard Butler has an incredible voice! I love it!
Yes. I'm not gay though.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gerard Butler gives such a heartfelt, vulnerable perfomance for this song. This Phantom is seductive, but he also tugs at your heartstrings. You can feel the loneliness and longing in his voice. He is seductive, not in a bold manner, but in a whispery kind of way. Especially when he sings ''Only then can you belong to me...''. You can just feel how he is barely keeping himself from melting into tears of love for Christine.
Traditional, when the Phantom says the line "turn your face away" he's turning Christine's face away from him, but in the movie, he turns her face to him - implying that it is the world that is ugly, not him.
I really liked this change.
The very first word that comes to my mind about this song is "hypnotic," if not by the Phantom's voice then definitely by the lyrics.
"Silently the senses abandon their defenses."
Just thinking of the meaning behind those words alone... It sounds so intimate, so vulnerable that my breath catches every time I hear it.
oh yeah
YAS
Lyrics and music - perfect
Gerry's acting- atrocious
And the phrase that follows doesn't have a lyric, as if to deliberately make you reflect on this. Perfect.
The Imaginator omigod, YES!!!! 😱😍
I love his voice its so seductive and very calming. He had no musical training whatsoever but he did damn good. Favorite phantom by far
“He had no musical training whatsoever”
Yeah we can tell
@@BeWiL0991 But he does have talent! If can sing like that naturally.
That’s not what I would call talent.
Not his voice. It is a trained opera singer’s voice.
For years there was this old-timey music box at my grandparents' house. They had this huge house and in the main ballroom behind the piano the music box sat on top of a tiny antique table. It was made of this dark marble of some kind. I was always so fascinated by it as a child. Whenever I was alone and all the other cousins went off to play I'd go behind the piano and wind up the gear at the bottom of the music box. It would play this song but at the time I had no idea what song it was. It was just a melody that I loved as a child.
Years later, I was probably 14 or 15, my sisters and cousins put on the DVD for this movie in the media room that my cousins had at their house. At first I was thinking, "What, a musical movie? Not my thing but I guess I'll just stick around." I kinda just sat around, watching this movie with my cousins and sisters, barely paying attention.
Then this scene came in.
When Gerard started to sing the melody at the start, I jumped up from the couch in total shock. For years I had no clue what that melody was. My cousins tried asking me what was wrong and I couldn't say. Memories of my childhood flooded my brain. Sneaking off to be alone with that music box in the ballroom just to hear that melody. Totally entrancing. Now whenever I hear this song, it takes me back to a simpler time. What a beautiful melody.
what a fantastic story!
Robert Morris That was a very beautiful little story. Something similar happened to me but it was not cute like that lol
Absolutely beautiful story, Robert!
that is such a beautiful story !
My story is sort of like yours, but a bit different. When I was at least four or five, my father absolutely loved this movie and showed me this scene various times. My father stopped showing me these movie scenes when my mother complained to my father I "Shouldn't be watching PG-13 Movie scenes when she's four (or five.)" . I discovered this movie when I was at my Opera practices and one of my friends told me of this movie, I thought it sounded similar. When I searched it up on "UA-cam'', I clicked this video and found the song, which took me down Childhood Lane. I'm happy I finally found this song, but a bit angry that my father hasn't showed me another one of these scenes earlier.
Its crazy how SEXY this all is! I mean she has been taken down to some catacombs by a mildly unhinged murderer who wants to keep her to himself forever and ever and my only thoughts are "Man this is sexy! I'm so jealous of her, I want to be with Phantom!!!"
And I don't even care how crazy that sounds!
Ha well that is certainly some fantasy! But I think if he is a murderer he is probably unhinged anyway...
Haha it helps that he sings like a fucking ANGEL but yeah I feel the same
HAH, if Christian and Anastasia (50 shades of grey) are together than I think you can be with him (just invite me to the wedding me likez cake)
+Mia Porterfield but he is an angel. the angel of music.
I don't think its crazy.
" I was made to remember that, though he was not an angel, nor a ghost, nor a genius, he remained the voice...for he sang. And I listened ... and stayed!...That night, we did not exchange another word. He sang me to sleep..."
-Christine D.
MrShaun42088 💔😭
Is that really in the book?
Yes. ;)
I love his voice. His voice makes the phantom so much more sympathetic. The singing in this movie is fantastic, if you don't like it there are still other versions available. You don't need to clog up the comments with hate.
Супер
Which Zelda is that?
Voicing that you prefer other versions is not "hate."
No one sings Music of The Night like Gerard can or ever will. The other phantoms we're not nearly as romantic, handsome, or sexy as Gerard's phantom ! I love the direction he took his phantom character he was totally different from all the other phantoms and I love that !!!!! He phantom stands out from all the rest now and always. My favorite phantom of all time !
Joel schumacker, who did this movie, kept on saying to Gerry, Make it more sexy Gerrry"!!! ALWebber wanted a rock n' roll type voice. Gerry said he had 6 singing lessons for this movie. Emmy was a trained ballerina and singer since a little girls...She was only 17 years old, turning 18, in this movie...and they both sang their own songs. Brava!
Have you seen the 25th anniversary?
@@jessicamacaulay7462 ...of POTO , the movie?
I remember watching this when I was 13 and having the biggest crush on the phantom and Gerry. He was so mysterious and mesmerizing, and yet still sad and lonely. 14 years later, this musical has become my favorite and I've seen other actors perform the Phantom. But Gerry holds a very special place in my heart that no one can ever change. Then Ramin Karimloo. These men are perfect as The Phantom. While Ramin has the Voice, Gerry has the presence that attracts any women in their right mind. I mean look at him. Gerry will forever be my Phantom , then Ramin 💙
Paulette reyes
Matthew Cammelle had the best version of MOTN.
Paulette reyes I totally agree!!!
Paulette reyes HE'S MINE😂😂
Diana A honey get in line 🤣🤣🤣
Paulette reyes his scars weren't that bad
his voice is hypnotic
+dra6on6irl It is and I love it.
Me to
I want it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It's *supposed* to be that way. ;)
You lassies are gonna make me sick here!🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Gerard is my favorite Phantom. I find his voice very hypnotic, especially here. Christine is obviously in a trance, and that’s how I feel every time I hear this song.
No musical training, just natural talent. Plus he sings from the heart. He is absolutely amazing.
Gerard buttler is so good in this movie. He should make more movies like this.
Too late he’s old now 😂😂
The sad thing is all his movies now he has been screaming/raising his voice the vocal cords are probably harmed badly. I was a singer and if you know anything about singing, you don’t scream your lungs out!
@@norahr868 he can still be in musicals and softer films. He could just play a father/uncle character. I think the original commenter meant he can be in films outside of his usual genre now which is action.
Never heard of him
He's so gentle when he catches her after she faints. I haven't seen any Broadway or theatre productions of the Phantom of the Opera but I want to. But, Gerard will always be my first intro to the Phantom! He sings so well😍😁❤️
I hear many people say they don't like this version, & I have no idea what they're talking about.
exactly
My big problem is the fact that girls swoon over how hot the phantom is. That's not how that character is supposed to work.
WhenYouveGoneGuru
Well. ALW Phantoms need to be fit. Handsome is a bonus 😁. Especially London Phantoms who have to catch and to carry the swaying Christines every night.
Skinny Phantoms would give problems to the productions. Imagine the accidents from carrying Christine or Red Death trap door if The Phantoms are not fit.
But most of the male musical performers are good looking anyway. Started from Michael Crawford to Ben Forster. Can you find the ugly one among them? I don't think so.
The half mask of The Phantom only emphasises their perfect bones structures.
Yeah there's a select group of haters for this movie (and they know who they are) but I thought it was fantastic
I thought it wasn't bad when I first heard it but when you hear Michael Crawford you cannot go back. also for the records the Phantom is supposed to be mentally sexy not physically well a bit of both but mostly mentally
Had her until homie busted out of the Wax mannequin, smh
ikr
boo808ky haha. this made me laugh. dude went batshit crazy
I'm just trying to imagine 19th century French men calling one another "homie" LOL
Zbx
Cus that’s who he is. An outcast who spills his emotions and feelings and then ends up overdoing it. I can relate.
I still love this movie!! Gerard was the sexiest Phantom and had a great manly voice!
Me too. His voice is handsome. 😍
Gerald is number 1! sorry but his has so much emotion. especially the begining when his voice creaks like I find it so attractive and luring. especially since he's in comeption with actual opera singers! it just makes him more special
Kellianne Jamila Jewel I just really like how his singing has so much emotion and sorrow from his past
Major disagreement. I admit Gerard is an awesome piece of eye candy, but that misses the point. His most handsome element is supposed to be his voice, and a big part of the whole story is that the Phantom is not handsome and is shunned by society. I see very little emotion that is appropriate for scenes. Whenever he does have strong emotions he goes way over the top. That said the man himself is not a bad actor. However, in this, he was horribly miscast as were most of the people in this film. In fact, (and I know I may get some hate from this but) in my opinion this is a terrible film. So no go on the voice. As Nostalgia critic said his voice sounds like "sandpaper on a firing machine gun".
@@madeleine5561 I can't really understand why people complain about his voice, I fell for him since the first time I heard him sing.
the phantom sacrified all his time and dedication to Christine, he made her the best singer of the opera and he had genuine love for her... sometimes i think she would be happier if she had chosen him instead of Raoul :/ the movie don't mention it but in the book... several years before in the catacombs of the opera people found his skeleton; is so sad that he died there all alone.
Aha . . . . Usually, I'm not a fan of fan fiction, but I prefer sticking to Love Never Dies.
in my opinion, if Raoul had not shown up, he wouldn't have went bat-crap crazy on the Opera house lol #TEAMPHANTOM forever!
+Lydia Trail I agree
I have to agree Raoul showing up and macking on Christine I think did make Erik go bat-crap crazy lol that boy should have stayed away
I'm glad someone agrees haha
Their chemistry is unmatched, the way they both look at each other with love, fantasy and wonder. The way she is breathing and the way Erik walks around the candles and stares at her is EPIC. I always get lost in this movie. I really love this film. It isn't perfect, but the feeling is there.
I think he's amazing. No one has ever made me cry like this character, and especially in this movie (Gerard is the best in this role). Every time I watch a movie or read a book, I cry. I cry from descriptions of his pain, from songs. It all makes me shiver. Such a beautiful story. I'm madly in love with a Phantom💔
Same here his enchanting voice.
I almost forgot how beautiful this is. He really made his own mark for this role!
Absolutely the best phantom for me. His acting and voice just enchanted me. I watched the movie everyday for months and everytime enjoyed it just as the first time!!!
2:54 to 3:15 I fell in love with the intensity of his stare and the power of the voice. Incredible!
I'm sorry guys but I just love his voice so much in comparison to other phantoms. He's my favorite. A deeper and darker sounding voice better fits the phantom that I imagine.
I can feel the effect he has on Christine as if I'm there...
This song paired with his raw, emotional voice is hypnotically beautiful yet haunting - it gave me chills while warming my heart.
I could think of no better phantom.
Thank you Gerald Butler for playing the phantom
And raising my expectations for guys to like level 1000 -_-
Christine Tsernikova me too
Yeah he ruined it for us guys
LOL
Considering how long the phantom was in hiding for with people always around and being forced to live with loneliness and in silence, one can't expect him to have the perfection that professional singers have with their hours of practice.
The imperfection that Butler shows in this version works well and makes a lot of sense while feeling more realistic to how the phantom was living his life prior to meeting someone.
Also, depending on how deformed the face is in some areas, that can be a factor with limited mobility as well (not that it affected him).
For those reasons alone, I really enjoy this version a lot more.
I would too get hypnotised by his voice. Theres just something about it that makes it luring, calming, seductive, etc. I melt from his voice every time just because of the emotion he puts in it and I cant really express it with words.
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you’ll live as you’ve never lived before
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness that you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Let your mind start a journey to a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then can you belong to me
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
man, i'd sure hate to be the one who had to light all those candles.
Of all the Phantoms I have seen Gerard is and will be my all time favorite.
Gerald Butler voice is Incredible.
GERARD BUTLER, AND EMMY ROSSUM !!!!!!!! SUBLIME AND WONDERFUL VOICES !!!!!!!!
1:50 he hit that note so damn beautifully i died inside and gave in to the darkness
No. He did not hit it at all. Haha. Not that all of the singing is shit. But he certainly did not hit the right note.
Lukas Sprehn he did. The songs were arranged to suit his range.
Indigo Ice riiight
Her eyes checking and scanning him ... Incredible ! Everything is perfect in this play . 👏 👏 👏
20 years has gone by and this phantom still has my heart! I still love him.
is this weird that when I hear him sing I want to cry because he has such a beautiful voice my soul actually began to soar!!!!!!
16 years later and this man still makes shivers run down my spine
Gerard Butler will ALWAYS be the phantom to me! He gets a lot of hate, but in my opinion his voice is WAY better than any of the other phantoms that I have heard. His voice has such an organic and enchanting sound to it, and the fact that he had no prior musical training makes this even more amazing!
Same, it's angelic. I had shivers the whole time. He hits the notes like its the easiest thing ever, and it sounds flawless.
The hate comes from the tone deaf, the jealous and the eternally theatre obsessed people who don't understand the difference between the stage and movies. He sang perfectly, and he wasn't chosen as an opera singer, but for a more rock version of the phantom
17 years on and still an amazing song and he is still as sexy.
Such passion, lush and dark. How could anyone not give in to the night?
At the start of the movie, I was a bit put off by the Phantom's rather insecure singing, which was contrasted by Christine's very solid voice. This feeling quickly went away, and I have come to really appreciate Butler's performance. The timbre fits the character very well, giving a sublime air of mystery. The singing is by no means perfect, but it conveys a lot of emotion making for some memorable renditions, such as this one. I don't mind imperfection in singing, this is, after all, a movie and not a musical theater play. In fact, imperfection makes the experience a bit more relatable.
This is the most beautiful movie I’ve ever seen, and Gerard Butler is just too beautiful for words!
soft and intoxicating Phantom portrayed so well by Gerard! I hope there's a continuation...
His voice is so mesmerizing.
I will keep listening to the POTO until my last breath on earth. Thanks and love to my daughter, who studies, theatre, for getting me hooked!
I loved this Beautiful Film. They got the Actors perfect for it. Gerard Butler is the most Handsome Phantom ever. His Voice is Amazing considering he has never been trained. I found this very Sexy. Considering this was a true story. Very sad. They found his body years later in the vaults of the Theatre. Gerard Butler great Scotsman . Great in a Kilt.
So touching! Gerard Butler is a wonderful phantom!
my favorite phantoms by far are Gerald and Ramin, both of which have never had formal music training, which i feel is very accurate to the character. the Phantom never took a music lesson, he acquired his talent through listening to the singers in the opera house... ramin and gerald both have that rawness to their voices💜💜
1:48-2:00 Right there he just jumped the octave on the words "to soar". He went from low A-flat to high A-flat. He does it again on the words "to be" at the end of the next verse and in "Down Once More" ("as HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL!") That octave jump is my favorite part of "Music of the Night."
Man I could never get tired of listening to Gerard Butler (the Phantom) singing “Music of the Night” in the Phantom of the Opera (2004) ❤️.
You can come through my mirror and take me away...
Gosh... Such a hypnotic, seductive and beautiful voice..
okay but you can't deny the fact that he kind of gives the vibe of an self-trained man. yes, in the book erik's voice made everyone weep to its beauty but he didn't take any lessons from anyone, his was just a god-given gift. gerik's voice sounds just like that.
I had no idea Gerard Butler sang - totally blown away by this :-) pure talent!
His voice gives me goosebumps like no other.
I love the music I saw this at the movies it was a great movie 👍 and Gerry Butler has a beautiful voice I don't care what people say he's a great actor he can play any character I love this man he's so handsome with beautiful blue eyes 💋❤️💜😇👍💋🇺🇸
Why is he sooo attractive? Like I'm seriously hooked😍😍😍❤
I think I was one of the few people who was really rooting for the Phantom to get the girl... I just loved the whole gothic EAPoe feel to his obsession with her.
You're not alone! A lot of people were rooting for the Phantom, actually!
+Erin F With that I agree.
+Jaden8533 You aren't alone!
Same here. The phantom was my bae
Samee i was hysterical after knowing that she got married to raoul
Hearing people nitpick his voice makes me love it even more. The raw power in his voice is incredible.
Gerald Butler absolutely killed the part masterfully
Gerard by far is my favorite Phantom!! Me puts so much passion in his performance and his voice is superb for this ... he is the BEST!!!! ❤️❤️
I love this song because of how Eric gets almost excited or happy at points while singing, if you watched the deleted scene "no one would listen" You understand why he loves her and does all this stuff for her, they have know each other for a long time and he has finally revealed his self to her. To me it seems kinda realistic of how he acts, but don't mind me, just geeking out here and wished Christine choose Eric over Raoul.
Согласна с вами полность. Просто недоумеваю, как можно было выбрать плоского и невзрачного героя и отказаться от такого харизматичного, сильного и влюбленного Призрака???
I love it so much! Gerard Butler plays this so well
if the Phantom didn't "make" her stay, she probably would've willingly married him. you can see in this song she's so attracted to him. already, even though she's just seen him.
I think Christine might have fallen for the phantom if she had not known Raoul. Or if she was born completely blind and couldn't see him, only hear him.
She would've 100%. Let's not forget the existence of Love Never Dies. Literally had a child with him.
It's amazing to me how he lived in a basement his entire life yet managed to grow in to a handsome well put together and well spoken man
I saw Phantom on stage last year; but, this interpretation ..the 2004 movie is more moving and surpasses the stage production. The music is beyond words. I truly loved the movie version. Perfect selection of actors !
HE HAS A VOICE OF FRINKEN ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look everyone's saying that he's not as Michael Crawford or Ramin but I prefer Gerard. He has this power and feeling behind his voice. While the others have had professional training but idc I definitely choose Gerard butler (:
I'll admit that I haven't seen Crawford or Ramin's performances yet, but I agree with you. I feel like if I did watch their performances I wouldn't be as impressed. Gerard just has this mesmerizing and compelling factor in his voice; it's quite irresistible lol :)
Tayla Moore- I prefer Ben over Ramin.
Tayla Moore I adore every word you just said.
You mean Gerald
the Ramin fangirls are coming for you
Wait... Gerard Butler is singing this?! WHAT?!
ajnode Pretty much my reaction.
And thus he has slept for 12 long years since 2004...
And thus he has slept for 12 long years since 2004...
Gerry's the man mate best phantom there was and ever will be what a man
Is that a rapturous or horrified "WHAT?!"?
I watched this movie for the first time on my 10th birthday. Today is my birthday, I am 23. I don't care what anyone says. This was The Phantom of The Opera I was exposed to first, and it will always be my favorite movie and my favorite version of this story.
And for those harping on his disfigurement or "lack there of", why don't you use your imagination and pretend that in this universe, no one has ever been exposed to anything remotely "ugly". Everything is beautiful and perfect for them till they see The Phantom.
This makes me cry every single time I watch it it's so beautiful, Gerard Butler takes my breath away.
He was amazing in the movie!!!😍😍
The best phantom....i like that he is not a tenor....but a rock signer and actor.... handsome wild beautiful tall acressive and attractive together.... I can't understand why he didn't play again the phantom at "love never dies...." what they expecting....?!
Gerard's performance here is the best version of this song!
This was my mother's favorite song. Every night when I'd see her star twinkle in the sky I would play it for her. Miss u mom. ❤️
awe that is very sweet and I'm sorry for you're loss stay strong 💜
+Estefany Bosques Thank you. ❤️
Great actor (and singer) handsome Gérard Butler!! 💕
Ok, I can't stop listening to this song and I can't understand why too many people complained about his voice, look how much emotion he holds and he was also really good at acting. I think people are complaining for nothing.
Music of the Night is such a VERY POWERFUL SONG!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! I get SO emotional every time I hear this!!
The first time I saw this movie in music class, and when this song came on I fell asleep to him singing "Music Of The Night" in class. his voice is so hypnotizing to me, it was like he was singing me a lullaby right where I was. Although he's not a trained singer, unlike Ramin Karmiloo who is the real angel of music, Gerard definitely surprised me with his voice. He's my second favorite phantom and my first favorite is Ramin
Am I the only one who thinks Emmy Rossum is beyond gorgeous here.

Amazingly beautiful scene I loved Gerard's voice!
He has a beautiful voice.🎶
When I was little, my babysitter told me about the story of the phantom of the opera, then when it came on the shows must go on, I suddenly remembered it, and when I saw the performance, I have to say I was enchanted to say the least.
He is the most seductive phantom...a woman can only say yes. What heaven.
God Gerry is so hot.
You got that right.
True facts
DramaBabe18 lol your Pewds pic is amazing
Thank you :)
Gerard is so hot handsome.
This song has steadily grown on me. I never could understand why people would say Christine should've chosen the phantom over Raoul but I've grown to learn the power of love and that which is unexpected and unconventional.
the phantom truly loved her where as raoul wanted her because of her success
It's funny that you mention this. I was listening to this and thought she should have run away with the phantom. I thought I was probably the only person to think this for some reason because the phantom was actually messed up. LOL But it was the strength of his passion, devotion and complete surrender to Christine's character that got me. He loved her completely. And not that Raoul lacked this either; only that his version of passion, devotion, and surrender as ho-hum compared to the phantom. Like a comfortable pair of shoes.

Because of Love Never Dies too. Especially the Australian version.
His voice is beautiful. I thought he was classily trained. He did a great job.
I truly think his voice is better because it isn't high and annoying like most phantoms. He is the only Phantom that can sing the songs with emotion and he didn't even have training.
I still can't believe that this is Gerard Butler who knew he could sing he really captured the Phantom and Emmy was fantastic as Christine she's got a beautiful voice and she was only 16 although she looks to be 19 in this film. I still want to see the show itself I had the opportunity but a classmate of mine thought the tickets were too pricey if Phantom comes back to my town I'm going to go see it anyway.
I think it's the other way around! She was 19 when they shot the film, and she's playing a 16 year old.

No, she was 16 when they shot the movie they had to wait until she was 17 for Gerard to grope her in the underground lair scene. Emmy admitted in an interview that she was between 16 and 17 when the film was made.
It's fabulous!
+Tiffany Days oh wow. She looks at least 20 in here! They must have tried to make her look older. But you can tell in the youth of her voice that she's 16. Kind of messed up ....
Yeah, it wouldn't look good if Gerry touched Emmy a bit intimately when she was still under aged since he's almost 20 years older than her.
If he hadn't shown her his creepy doll, I do think she'd have slept with him.
... I highly recommend watching the second theatre film called Love Never Dies. You're in for one hell of a surprise haha Sounds very similar to the cast of this.
R MH yeah and she was smiling before he showed her the dress
R MH I FEEL THIS HAHAHA
My dear she did never the less haha

I've listened to all three versions of music of the night and I love them all equally but this movie has a special place in my heart because it was shown to me in middle school in music class and helped me get over my irrational teenage hatred of musicals
Is my favourite version of The Phantom in the Opera, and Gerard Butler is amazing!
This movie was literally my childhood. I think the first time I watched it I was 7 or 8. And now even after all those years I still love this film and the phantom. I just feel Butler played the role fantastically. By adding just the right amount of passion and love for Christine. So whatever people say I believe he was the best person to portray the phantom.
