LYRICS:
In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me and speaks my name
And do I dream again? For now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
Sing once again with me, our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me to glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
(It's me they hear...)
voice
In one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my (your) mind (beware, the Phantom of the Opera)
In all your fantasies, you always knew
That man and mystery
(Were both in you)
And in this labyrinth, where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is here (there)
Inside my (your) mind
Sing, my Angel of Music! (He's there, the Phantom of the Opera)
Sing for me
Sing my angel, sing
Sing for me
There was a version with Tarja and Marko, which was amazing. Now, there is a version with Floor and Henk Poort, which is also amazing. Both are different, but both are rocking! 🤘
A new version with Marko and Tarja? Where? 😮
@@Nightsahara not a new one. He refers to end of era
This is the second version of this with Floor and Henk Port. They did it for some show over in Europe a few years ago.
@@nighthawk20011 yes, as part of the show Best Zanger. It was with Floor Jansen and Henk Poort but not with the whole band
I was there and it was amazing. The whole evening was fantastic.
Keeping promises! ❤ What an amazing thing to experience. After performing it multiple times with Henk during my solo shows and on TV it has been an honour that my promise to Henk to perform it with Nightwish was granted. I hope you all enjoy it!
Of course! Ich freue mich schon drauf!
I can't wait to watch it! The performance you both did in your solo show was amazing and I'm sure this one will be mind blowing
Thanks to you for making the promise and thanks to the band for making it real
Espero escuchar su propia versión
And we can't wait!
Nightwish: the only band that can change singers, musicians, producers, drumsticks, mics, shoes, etc, etc, but still give every song the fucking chills.
THANK YOU TO EXIST
I'm pretty sure you couldn't replace Tuomas...
@@MikkoRantalainen Wherever Tuomas gets replaced, there goes Nightwish as well :)
Tuomas is Nightwish!!!
Туомас делает Хорошее дело 👍🤘
Вы не представляете, сколько людей из разных уголков мира вы воспитали культурно
The janitor in the T-shirt and jeans that wandered in there had a powerful voice. He should make singing his day job.
😅😅🎉
🤣🤣🤣🤣LOL
. underrated comment
The metal lady looked like a figure from an opera. And the opera singer looked like regular metal guy 😀
He is a professional singer and actor in the Netherlands 😂
@@wolfgangdoll6941 Ok. He looked like he just wandered in from the street.
Her hitting and holding that last note fills my soul with pure happiness
This is about the third rendition of Floor and Henk doing this song, and I find it really interesting how different Henk's delivery is on this one. He went much harsher for a metal crowd than he did for the more general audience of "Beste Zangers". He's changing his performance to suit his audience. That's a committed performer.
He is also getting more comfortable with distortion and going harsh, with Beste Zangers he really stepped out of his comfort zone with that.
I noticed this also. It was awesome!
You are right
4th performance he needs a costume 😂
@@tsohgallik Yup, Phantom costume.
My God!! How did she get on that note??? What an amazing performance... awesome!!
Henk showing up looking like the Janitor of the Opera but slaying the song.
Fantastic.
This comment just unalived me 🤣🤣🤣
But on a serious his voice, floors voice 😍 beautiful
I laughed so hard at this that I popped a blood vessel in my eye!! You win the day my good sir.
@@AnnaTaylor-lc2rd , Henk's voice is amazing too.
@@minakatsama2014I know I said so 🤣
lol
Seeing Floor healthy and happy brings tears of joy to my eyes. What a beautiful human being she is. Beautiful performance, Nightwish forever 💕🔥
The length of that end note was ridiculous! I had chills during the whole performance. This was 17 years worth waiting! What an absolute pleasure to have witnessed this live with the fans in Amsterdam and now the rest of the world can witness this epic performance!🤘
And it was the 3rd showonly after a surgery, she is a goddes!
The length that Henk is packing is impressive also
the best performance in my opinion is by floor, very beautiful and powerful, she makes it see efortless, when this song is complex. She is amazing
That final note is INSANE!
Tuomas looks so happy. I’ve wanted a version of this with Floor forever. Love it.
I was one of those 23 000 people in Ziggo Dome Arena, and I still can believe that I was there. It was an amazing Nightwish show!!! Thank you Nightwish!!!
As the Dutch would say: "They did things thinly over again". Man, after one of the best musical tv-performances on Dutch television, lauded by a lot of Dutch, they couldn't resist treating the fans.
All do the high notes were perfectly in tune. The D6 was also perfection! She started and sustained center pitch throughout. Wow, just wow. Floor never fails to deliver!
When comparing this performance to End of an Era's, so much has changed during these 17 years : Tarja, Anette, Troy, Floor, Jukka N., Kai, Marko and Jukka K. Band members came and went but the magic at the center of it all is still here and better than ever. Thank you Nightwish...
What a true comment. Apart from Emppu, Tuomas leads a band of total magic, seemingly, whoever is in the lineup.
That is very well spoken. Can't do anything but agree
Very diplomatic but for me it will always be Tarja and Marco
Ｔｈｅｒｅ ａｒｅ ｐａｒａｓｉｔｅｓ ｉｎ ｔｈｅ ｃｏｖｉｄ－１９ ｖａｃｃｉｎｅｓ ｓｏ ｔａｋｅ ｉｖｅｒｍｅｃｔｉｎ ｏｒ ｈｙｄｒｏｘｙｃｈｌｏｒｏｑｕｉｎｅ ｉｆ ｙｏｕ ｈａｖｅ ｂｅｅｎ ｖａｃｃｉｎａｔｅｄ
Except that Nightwish has changed into worse. Today they're like a group of middle aged people playing for their own amusement.
The last rock roll element left with Marco. Floor needs to carry the stage presence alone at her shoulders now that Jukkas energy and style is gone, Marcos true heavy metal presence and sound is gone, Tuomas has gotten old and chubby and moved himself in the back row of the stage. Troy is looking like a homeless hobo and sounding like generic pop singer. Emppu has tied his hair and gets lost in the mash with the bassist who brings nothing to the show.
I guess it's a natural evolution when people get old. The fact seems to be that rock and metal belongs to the young and dangerous.
But it's nice they still keep going and people enjoy what they do.
I like to listen to them on record but live they don't make me feel much.
Its so wholesome having Henk Poort. As classical opera singer as there is hopping into the metal mayhem without a second thought :D What a class act through and through.
Henk Poort reached peak opera and found a new challenge.
I agree. Luckily for us, in this time and age.
Musicians have realized, that music are universal, and really have no boundaries.
But can mix, and produce amazing results.
He probably wore a full tux and bow under that shirt to feel a bit more at home^^
@@Happymali10Henk did , when he performed with Floor when she opened for Metalica, Amsterdam 2023.
I've seen 3 versions of this with the same two awesome guys, but my favorite is still from the Beste Zangers 2019 show. Their chemistry there is still unparalleled imo. Always gives me goosebumps.
I agree! This one is higher pitched. I love the Beste Zangers more because she starts of lower.
❤❤❤@@bartina2719
In 2019 Nightwish vocalist Floor Jansen performed Phantom of the Opera with Poort for the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers. The performance has attracted over 20 million viewers on UA-cam so far (as of January 2023).[2]
Their performance was so well received that Nightwish revived their cover of the song live on stage for the first time in 17 years featuring Mr. Poort as a guest vocalist. The show in Amsterdam on November 28, 2022, was filmed for a future DVD release.
Now with the entire band it's finally absolute perfection
Nothing like Nightwish with Floor and Henk's sensationally soaring voices in full 4k quality. History was made on this night and it lived up to the hype.
Man, can she hold a note. Stunning.
The version with Tarja and Marko is more aggressive and passionate. The version with Floor and Henk is full of tenderness and sensuality. Both versions are amazing! ❤🔥
Personally, I don't like Tarja and Marko's version. I feel their voices are unsuited to the operatic style, like Tarja's scooping and Marko's belt. Whereas here the idiomatic style is much better demonstrated. In the live versions, Tarja is often too sharp on the last note, whereas here it is bang on perfect. That's coming from a classically trained operetta and metal singer, but it's my opinion.
floor is nightwish now, I can't imagine with another voice.
soulof the band band tar but this version is so amazing
it s perfect realy henk as just an amazing voice to
@@saphirshine Yeah, his version of Disturbed's cover of sound of silence on Beste Zangers is unreal. And people complain that it's not identical to David Draiman's. Well no fucking shit, but take stock of what you are listening to. You have one of the best singers on earth performing a metal cover in full voice. Dude probably could have rattled the windows in that place without amplification on some of those later verses.
Thank you for making Henk's wish come true, and it delivered us a great performance.
For many Dutch people, this is basically a national pride thing, two of our most beloved singers together with the best symphonic metal band in the world, again.. thank you so very much for this.
Let's be honest, before Beste Zangers 2019 most of the Netherlands had never heard of Floor Jansen.
@@apveening true, that gave her big fame, in the metal scene we did know her and what she could do, but outside of that scene hardly anyone knew who she was.
@@apveening Yeah but is better then nothing, here in Italy it wasn't enough a season of the Voice to make Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil) famous to normal people...
This was the first time my kids joined me to a concert and we all enjoyed. Not just the Phantom, all songs were excellent.
Great show as always..Nightwish... Big love for you.....❤❤❤❤❤❤
that's insane!!!!
If you saw that old dude walking down the street, you would never expect he has a killer singing voice.
It what an absolute pleasure to see this show twice. The first being completely shocked by Henk's appearance, the second being taken away by the perfect joining of two amazing voices.
WE WERE THERE
Superlative 🤟🤟🤟🤟
You are one lucky human :)
Yes ... I was there too. Epic night,. epic performance!
As they said during The Greatest Show On Earth...
We were here!
Floor amazing voice 😱
Phantastisch - einfach nur unfaßbar gut 👏👏👏👏👏
This is why UA-cam needs a love button. Nightwish + Floor + Phantom = amazing!!
got to see it live both shows, sobbed my way through both of the performances (esp the first one, bc i didn't believe it'd happen anymore and the confusion amongst all of us who knew the setlist was real when everyone stayed on stage, and then the shock, and happiness and, afterwards, the utter confusion and shock and the collective 'what the hell just happened, did we really just get phantom' after the concert was something i'll prob never experience again) and now, here i am, sobbing all over again. amazing
I loved how the boys stayed up on the drum riser and let it be about the vocalists, classy!
Just freeking lovely! 🤘❤️🤘
I work in a music school and comparing the movie versions versions to this one was the main topic of the classes on Friday! My young students were so impressed. Happy to recruite new Nightwish fans in each generation :D Cheers guys!!!
This is so much better than the movie and it's live too, imo at least.
Inspiring the youth in a positive way Dean K…rock on!
❤
Это очень классно! Круто!!!
You’re not the teacher we want but you’re the teacher we need. Keep teaching 🤴
Uncle Henk enjoying himself to the max, in a Nightwish shirt, Floor smiling her girlish, secret smile as she hears him sing. The band getting into the epic spirit of the moment.
This is utter perfection.
Uncle Henk seems like such a cool person. Seeing him flashing the the horns and wearing a NW t-shirt is amazing, you can understand that he respects both the band and the audience. And as you said he seems to be genuinely enjoying the whole experience.
@@KeremcanBuyuktaskin, plus Henk is a very handsome man even at this age.
So proud of him stepping up to his singing game
she is a fan of Henk. she grew up with him playing the phantom in the opera. her singing it with Henk is a dream came true.
the fact that henk poort was excited to be a part of this what a very top tier performance what a holy heavy metal masterpiece what a insane high that was especially for the audience that was really bad ass
Ich habe Gänsehaut, Floor Jansen einfach nur genial mit der Stimme 😊😊
Henk Poort is a well-known Dutch opera and musical singer. Floor saw the musical as a teenager (?) with Henk as the Dutch Phantom at the time and that impressed her as young Floor. Three years ago, Floor participated in the Beste Zangers programme. She was very happy when she heard that Henk Poort would also be one of the participants. She then asked him if he wanted to sing The Panthom of the opera with her during the duo evening of the program. He then agreed because he in return was allowed to sing the song with Nightwish. Isn't it nice how something like this comes together?😉
I Love it! Thanks Nightwish and Henk!
That was utterly STUNNING.
Henk Poort brought such flair to the male part, and boy did Floor nail that entire ending.
Tuomas sure looked like he was having fun, didn’t he?
Man, Henk bloody OWNS this show. Would he have ever thought a metal crowd would be cheering him on? 🤣🤣
Jesus this is an amazing live performance. Great audio quality and the performances are world class. Some of the best singers in the world right here.
Floor held the D6 note at the end for over 11 seconds, and it sounded perfect, beautiful, powerful, without losing anything in the note, with incredible balance.
It literally gave me chills.
@@svoeglav1120 It's D-amn!
She almost looks like she impressed herself! Nailed it.
@@svoeglav1120 No, but still amazing.
without vibrato.
meh
Had such a blast with this performance live, you could feel everybody was into it. Thank you Nightwish and Henk for this amazing performance.
This is a masterpiece!!. The only performance that makes me forget Marko for a minute
Thx to nightwish. It is a pleasure to be Security on your concerts.
Rocking crowd, rocking band
Just falling in tears here!!! Who knows me know that this song was the first I ever heard by Nightwish, I was curious about how "the phantom of the opera" must sounds like metal and it was the beginning of a passion❤ Thanks Nightwish, thank you, Henk
That was so cool that you invited Henk for this song! Awsome performance by everyone❤At some point we need a fulll Human Nature live DVD😜
The Amsterdam concert was recorded .
The more releases the better - I get them all.
@@knutruther4964 Fantastic!!! Can't wait for the release then🥰
He looks like he could have come up directly from the audience XD
@@rokadamlje5365 I think he enjoys Nightwish quite a lot😁 His shirt says it all! 😊
Kippenvel, prachtig!
This was freaking awesome ❤🥹🤘🏼🫡
Thank you Floor, thank you Nightwish, thank you Henk Port❣️
Watching Nightwish live streams has become a family event in my house. Loved it❤
This is not a live stream, it's recorded ;)
We love you too Mr. Poort. 🤘
this gave me goosebumps, so so so good
Now Nightwish has not only one but two amazing and memorable performances of this song!
Dear God... What took so long? I have longed for a Nightwish version of Phantom with Floor for ages. And to have Henk was a nice bonus. I always romanced at the thought of Floor and Marco duetting this one
Гениально, слезы восторга. Вот это и есть высочайшее искусство 21 столетия.
Floor ha hecho suyas las canciones
De la era tarja. Simplemente
Perfecta y disfruta lo que canta. No echo de menos a tarja, es más ni me acuerdo. Floor la supera absolutamente en todo. Floor es nightwish. Le pese a quien le pese.
There are just no words. Chills from the opening moments. Two legends absolutely NAIL it.
Geez, Floor, that high note... Perfection.
This is the best version of this song ever performed. Nightwish, Henk Poort and Floor Jansen are amazing. Henk Poort forms a Heavy Metal band and continues his activities.

Да бросьте,вы ересь нести,если б изначально такая версия была и в таком исполнении,никто бы и слушать ,и восхищаться не стал бы,,,,,Флор, Флор,ну ,что такое Флор,? 😂
Tarja, Marko, Jukka N, Emppu and Tuomas is the best version this song in the End of an era álbum.
and *Floor Jansen* , TREMENDOUS VOICE... PURE TALENT!!!
I love when they meet, floor is such a talent
I'm Floored in every way. How is this better with time?? 😭 They are my favorite duet together 🖤
Love this version! Henk is fantastic and floor is just amazing!❤❤❤❤
I love how the keyboard player is always having such a good time, smiling, he looks very happy. Great!
imagine having a song like this but not being able to play it for many many years. of course he's happy, who wouldnt be!
This is the first time ever that Nightwish played this song since 2005 after Tarja’s departure. I’m so happy to see Floor and Henk duetting with Nightwish after Beste Zangers
I just love seeing how happy Thomas looks when he's on stage, always smiling, it's like he feels at home and content.
Loved this version, love everything you guys do, a forever fan 😁
nailed it
M A R A V I L L O S O!!!!!!
I never heard of Henk Poort. He sounds amazing and I love how the second your hear his voice, he OWNS the stage. Almost like he's the frontman. I googled him and it made sense.
He was the Phantom Of the Opera for the Dutch version, from 1993 to 1996.
The best phantom that I have heard so far.
He's a famous opera and musical singer and he has starred as the Phantom many, many times in theatre. Andrew Lloyd Webber himself once said that Henk is one of his favourite performers in the role of the Phantom.
Sure, its a different kind of show, but you don't become a famous opera singer if you don't own the stage.
Yeap, in my opinion, Henk is the best, the most appropriate one, be than Ramlin Karimloo (an Iranian Musicalsinger) should be taken into consideration, too.
Hank is a famous Dutch opera singer and has been the phantom in the musical many times. Floor as a child was a huge fan of him.
Waited more than 2 years and flew from a different continent just to see this very show! I’m beyond thrilled to see you guys chose to capture it forever on video as well 🙏🏻
Cheers to the greatest show on Earth! 🤘🏻🔥
Same here, was a long flight from Atlanta for 2 shows but damn was it worth it.
@@philfuhrer6498 Home concert for me, but I was in line T the door with a couple from scotland and a mother and daughter from new zealand! I asked them why not a local concert and they were there because they were hoping for the Phantom. Imagine 24 hours of travelling for one song! Or even from atlanta like you, what's that an 8 hour flight?
@@00wheelie008 hours seems about right. Thought they would be filming it as it was a 2 night venu. Hank Port was better the second night for me. Although did not travel all that way for that song honestly, had seen then in a few cities in Canada, very intimate settings, but wanted to see the pyros/giant screens and eat some oliebollens.
@@philfuhrer6498 Off-topic: Oliebollens is a double plural. The singular is oliebol, the plural is oliebollen.
Божествено!!!
wow very impressive, she has mega lung capacity with that beautiful voice. always loved Nightwish.
Pure magic! The great Henrik and Floor, my valkiria with the voice of an angel... Sing to us, angel of music!!🎶
❤Nightwish❤
I am shivering from Florr Jansen vocals of this song! Masterpiece! 3:45 - She really sung that! 😮I am breathless!
This is the most impressive thing I saw this year.
Floor Jansen - the Goddess of metal!
"De Beste Zangers" (Dutch Television) Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Look it up!
Amazing and beautiful
Thank you Nightwish and Henk Poort!!!
What I like about this - apart from everything - is Emppu ripping it at the end, and that final Floor note, held for an eternity. Everything else is spot on, and I love the fact that Nightwish actually did this, making the gig even more special (lucky Dutch audience!).
It's super rare these days to have shred from Emppu!
2 year delay but yeah....then we got lucky. 😁
That otherworldly outro by Tarja would remain immortally great, but Floor is the next best thing to this song. What a voice. Lucky to have seen two incredibly amazing singers perform this song.
Нет у Флор академического голоса,от слова- совсем,ну,брала уроки,и что,но это не как у Тарьи,у которой этот голос от рождения,только отточеный,и Флор,,,,и только слушаю потому,что группа не канула в лету,иФлор поддерживает её,но.. нет ни голоса,ни грации,ни утончённости как у Тарьи,
I love Phantom of The Opera. This is something I never even knew I wanted.
W E W E R E T H E R E anticipating THE moment, hoping for it to happen.
Then when Floor said that the show would be recorded, we just knew: "Uncle Henk in the house" as promised! You guys first surprised us btw, with a magnificent "7 Days" (Troy's vocals there!). And then, when that magical moment finally came, the whole Ziggo Dome went completely 🍌🍌 Ty & Cheers from Amsterdam! 🖤🤘
Exactly !! We had hoped for uncle Henk to appear but it was still a nice surprise when it actually happened. Great to have this memory on video. And with you I eagerly await the video of 7 Days to the Wolves... Troy was a BIG surprise in that one 😍🤘
@@littleraven28 Can't wait either for this 7Days version. Double surprise in that firstly, they played it at all w/ Marko and then secondly: Troy's vocals. I mean what a trooper! Dunno if it's just him growing into his upgraded role as a singer, or that some vocal coaching by lemmeguess.. was applied as well.
Would love the BD, or whatever D to feature an interview with the whole band, including Henk, abt these ZD concerts. High hopes for the near future when Jukka might add his vocals to the mix and how the prospect of that may already have influenced Tuomas' songwriting.
@@BrendonChase_2015 how is Jukkas’ singing? I did look into some of the stuff from his previous band but maybe I looked at the wrong numbers because I didn’t come across a singing Jukka.
I've never anticipated a performance more than this one.
Don’t think it lived up to expectations….. seemed a bit flat in places
The Best Duet in this song in the World!!!!!❤❤❤
Such a beautiful combo❤
Masterful. Majestic. Magnificent. The greatest female Rock/Metal vocalist of our generation.
This is an excellent performance of The Phantom of the Opera. Both Floor and Henk did a great job on this song. The last note gave me goosebumps. Thanks for sharing this recording with us!
Agreed, got goosebumps from Henk growling as well, never had growls give med goosebumps before haha amazing!
That final note holy hell!
Two of the best Dutch artists!
I never tire of Floor's voice and it sends shivers down my spine. Beautiful woman and beautiful voice!!
This is just the main thing that distinguishes Floor from others; you can listen to her a thousand times, each time capturing something new, she is multifaceted, multi-level, if Tarja is a beautiful triangle, then Floor is a tetrahedron, where the triangle is only one of the sides.
Henk with a t-shirt of Nightwish family is awesome. Love it !
Yeap and after all, he's not one of those with this ridiculous white mask, which makes the matter seem so implausible!
THE BEST
Браво! Браво! Браво!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU Tuomas, THANK YOU NIGHTWISH,,THANK YOU HEnk!! THANK YOU FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A brilliant performance 👏
Masterpiece !!!
I love how normal Henk looks when walking onto the stage compared to the rest of the crew. Such a Dutch moment, I love it.
Amazing performance from everybody!!!
I originally had tickets for this show but due to illness I couldn't go. I am very glad this was recorded so I could still witness it!
