I only found out recently that she was actually going to do the show in French in Paris many years ago. The whole show was ready to go, she had learnt it entirely in French, but the show was sadly cancelled due to a fire at the theatre. The same one the phantom story is based on.
I was gonna be in France around the same time she would be doing the show and I was so gutted for her and the whole cast and crew when the news broke about the fire. That was super sad. Luckily the theatre got back on its feet and reopened a few months later with Grease :) It wasn't the same theatre though! I think Phantom is based on the Opera National and the theatre was the Mogador. Still an eerie coincidence though.
It wasn't the same theater that the book is based on. The Mogador wasn't founded until after Gaston Leroux wrote the novel. The novel incorporates some rumors about the Palais Garnier and the Garnier is the hall in question in the novel, although the name is changed for the musical to the Opera Populaire. A chandelier broke there and killed a concierge in 1896, and some construction during Leroux's lifetime led to an urban legend that it was built over a lake due to a subterranean water tank accessible through the building, which are a couple of things that made it in one form or another into the novel and then ALW's show. But anyhow, still sort of a wild coincidence that a show which is largely about antics in a theatre got cancelled because of such an unfortunate incident.
This my friends, is the best proof in existence that when you come to see a musical, you don't only enjoy the actors and singers, but also the orchestra.
I always did. When I saw my first concert, I was amazed how high quality the performance was, just like the vinyl I'd played. I'd seen live bands, and they always sounded different, but an orchestra ... amazing.
Of course. The tenor gets the girl. Who is always the soprano. I was a basso profundo. You remember me.? Always dressed in black. Always the villain. Always stabbed in the third act, by the tenor, of course. It was fixed. The tenor always wins. I should get rid of this goatee. Always a dead giveaway.
Here are the French lyrics...for those who are wondering😁 C'est temps lointains, qui berçaient nos matins. Reviendront te chercher parfois. S'ils te trouvent alors,mon amour,souviens toi de moi... Souviens-toi des fleurs de notre été ne laisse pas les regrets l'emporter... Souviens toi quand je t'attendais muette et résignée.imagine toi tous les pour fournis pour t'oublier! Souviens toi je t'en prie souviens toi,où que tu sois,quoiqu'il advienne! Il n'y aura jamais un jour sans que je ne m'en souvienne!!
Everything about this is so beautiful. Not only is Sierra's voice is so gorgeous, especially in French, but I love how even when they didn't have a male singer to provide Raoul's role, the conductor suddenly steps in to help out. It's so purely wholesome!!!
They're doing a better job recording. Some of the earlier stuff, the recording was less professionally done. Listen to some of the BBC proms pieces (where they use professionals who know how to record) and then other pieces of the same year, and you hear what I'm talking about. Around 2005 the industry was still using some analog on tape (esp for live recording), but was starting to switch over to all digital. The digital sound wasn't so good. 10 years later, things have improved. I worked for Yamaha Music Corp. Listen to some of Yo Yo Ma's recordings (where they used reel to reel quarter and half inch tape machines) and you'll really hear a difference--even converted from analog to digital.
Sierra's French is very good, and so is the translation (I had feared it would not be, based on previous experience. Mais je suis rassurée). I had tickets for the première in Paris and was totally gutted when the news broke that there had been a fire at the theatre. I'm still praying they will put it on in the not too distant future.
That's the most beautiful/wonderful/magical thing about music... you don't have to understand a single word of what's being sung, as long as you feel it, that's all that matters. Well done, Sierra!
Sierra sings like a magical sparrow. I have been truly impressed by her performance in "Phantom of the Opera."Also, I was spellbound by the duets from the Rodgers and Hammerstein II tribute on PBS with Julian Ovenden. I really hope she knows how great a talent she is and how much joy she brings to audiences!
DAMN HE CONDUCTED AND SANG AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!
Jenny Pai he is a fancy conductor
it’s pretty easy
@@jaredquiroz685 lol everything is easy when watching. Now do it. Warrior

I heard about this! Kind of a coincidence right?
Phantom could not bear to see Christine again and so he burnt down the theatre.

I was meant to go to that show :(
“We didn’t bring a Raul”
*condutor starts singing*
“Oh! Oh wow” I haven’t loved a human this much since Oscar Isaac
That truly was a great surprise! And Oscar Isaac is ❤️❤️❤️
lovely 😍😍😍😍
Liking for that last part 😭😭
dad? Raoul
What a sweet and funny comment!
Sierra: We didn't bring a Raoul
Conductor: Ahem
Jonah Frizzell I’m playing Christine in the phantom of the opera in French at my house on 3rd of September
@@meganomahoney5450 how'd it go?
@@kanacucumber you can search their Instagram it’s the same name, you can listen if you really want.
Sierra: "we didn't bring a Raoul, unfortunately"
Conductor : *sings* "......she may not remember me "
she definitely didnt remember him xd
Talent!!
The conductor: I've waited for this moment all my life…

The Conductor of an orchestra is the magic. This time, Sierra Boggess is the desert.
크리스틴~ 크리스티인~~♡
I love how the violinists smiled after looking at their conductor singing
thats my orchestra teacher lol
I love that the conductor is singing and conducting at the same time xD
Sierra: "We didn't bring a Raoul
"
Conductor: "Hold my baton"
The look on her face when the conductor began to sing is priceless. Too cute..
Conductor: My actual dream was to be a tenor.

@@williamheyman5439 As a soprano, I'd love to see a legit soprano villain and a bass/baritone protagonist
@@ameliamorgan2287 Soprano villain: Der Hölle Rache
ME IS SHOOKT *THE CONDUCTOR SANG*
Love it how his right hand keeps moving even as he sings. Lovely.
One of the best Raoul I have seen so far
Conductor has such a good voice. I bet he could have played the role of Javert in Les Miserables.
The thing is Russel Crowe also played that part and didn't sound so hot.
Mythical Actor That is incredibly factual lol
"We didn't bring a Raoul" part was hilarious!
She usually totes him around in her handbag 😂
Sierra is really the angel of music!
dan vision and p
Sierra: We didn't bring a Raoul
Conductor: *SIKE YOU THOUGHT*
Now she speaks french on me?! Like I didn't love/envy her enough already?!?!

Conductor: So anyway, I started singing.
When you literally know sierra boggess can't possibly get any better than her already perfect self
And she gets better
*dies like 10 times*
I like this version so much. This version sounds so soft and joyful. And her french singing😃
Her reaction when this guy started singing is adorable ❤️
This woman... God, how can she be this incredible
iconic! love how the conductor was singing whilst conducting❣️😂
I'm still confused how they prevent birds and woodland creatures from appearing with that kind of heavenly voice!
They didn't have the tickets
I love the smiles that the orchestra members give the conductor when he starts singing. Truly shows how supportive they are of each other.
We stan the conductor
She is honestly the best singer in the world right now.
The look on her face when the conductor started singing is priceless. Too cute..
The conductor 😢❤
Is it me or does Sierra's voice sound maturer these days?
Neysa Waltz because of aging, duh.
An old voice teacher of mine said the voice changes and grows in adulthood as well, not just during puberty.
The lower key kind of changes how she sings it.

Aged like fine wine, you meant to say ;)
Youuu will thiiink -
Aaah aah ah AAAAAAH
DEEE MOIIIII
I think Sierra forgot which language she was singing in lmao
No she was singing partly in French and partly in English
NO ONE yea
Who else couldn't help hearing "brava, brava, bravisima" at the end
Kyle Wit “Christine, Christine.... **christiiineeee**”

Vous avez tout à fait raison de dire que son français est excellent. Ce n'est pas si commun.
I love you Sierra. Best Christine ever.
Sierra is the goddess of happiness, I’m certain of it 😍
How come a beautiful human being can sing so perfectly???
*shes also great personality wise. I mean, she’s probably one of the most positive, supportive and witty person I’ve ever seen on broadway
This might be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
Terribly, tear-jerkingly beautiful.
Sierra has a beautiful voice. Very talented lady.
This lady is the greatest singer on the planet!! Also has a great smile and a great sense of humour.
who's that poor soul that gave a thumb down? she is great.
andino2wheels A poor, unfortunate, soul
andino2wheels I see what you did there 😂😂😂
@@JulietteVeronica1201 Sierra is Ariel then😛 with her red hair
The poor fool he makes me laugh hahaha
Blind Seer She did originate the role of Ariel on Broadway
That conductor deserves an award
I just love that smile on the conductors face...so cute
It seems like even the orchestra was surprised when the conductor started singing--or they just like to hear him sing. Either way, awww.
i love her so much omggg
Just love the eye contact between the two!
So much talent!! Love Sierra!
The best Christine ever!!! I have missed that voice!
The conductor singing is awesome!!!
Sierra Boggess is a goddess!
the voice of an angel
That's the most beautiful/wonderful/magical thing about music... you don't have to understand a single word of what's being sung, as long as you feel it, that's all that matters. Well done, Sierra!
how can anyone dislike this video??
On a more serious note, why is Christine playing as Sierra again? lol
what an amazing voice... wow The best Christine in my humble opinion
I was there for this performance!! Such a memorable night.. I hope she comes back to Princeton soon 💕
Brilliant performance. I love that the conductor sings with her!
conducter: i think it’s my time to shine i been waiting so long
I love the way those musicians smile when the conductor started to sing. 😂
Perfection? To me, this is beyond perfection 😂😂
She’s really great!!! ❤️
Sierra: "We didn´t bring a Raoul"
Conductor: AND I OOP-

Unknowingly smiling for 4 mins ❤️❤️❤️ such a beauty inside and out
Came for Sierra. Saw the comments. Re-watched it for the conductor.
A massive talent
No auto tune, no post production. The pure talent of her is just baffling!
Oh, wonderful and fun surprise when the conductor sang Raoul. So delightful!
She combines Emmy's and Sarah's endings ....so talented
What a magnificent voice! Sierra is a commensurate vocalist. 🥰👍☺️
Thankyou et merci!!! Love concerts where the orchestra, especially the conductor, is playful =] bravi!! J'adore!
Magique , parfait comme toujours et merci pour votre excellent Français !
Wish I knew about this performance so close to where I live...what a wonderful experience it must have been to hear Sierra live.
Sierra is absolutely precious.
I stan the constructor so hard it makes my day xD
I adored the conductor He had tender smile 😊
Simple person here
I see Sierra, I click vid, I click like, then freeze in eternal enrapturing bliss
Sierra, I'm your new fan !!!!!!!!!
wow what a talent
"Oh wait/Oh wow" had me chuckling.
What a talent this lady is....God bless her.
Watched Phantom of the Opera and discovered this gem. She is so beautiful and talented.
I think I might actually be in love with Sierra 😍😩👏
Stunning as always Sierra!
the gorgeous and talented sierra ❤️
What a presence. Splendour.
Two professionals...
Sierra taking the Cadenza as if she CREATED CADENZA
The Conductor singing as Raoul while conducting at the same time.
The conductor sang the original lyrics from 1986 omega
The conductor sounded like Steve Barton...I was in awe....
BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! omg! i have tears falling down from my eyes. sierra is really the best christine ever!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙆🏻♀️
Sierra Goddess. ♡ ˆ◡ˆ
Je serais toujours passionnée par cette œuvre sublime. Bravo !
