- In light of the famous Phantom Of The Opera (Broadway) closing, I thought I might upload this since it has been off of NFT for quite some time and can give an updated look to the production. In these sad times we need a little light right?
Anyway, if the master of this video would like me to take this down please just say so!

It’s fucking wild it wasn’t until the 2020s we got the first black Christines on Broadway and the West End. We had black Phantoms and other POC Christines but so long until a black actress was seen as able to play the ethereal treasured ingenue. This actress is so good!!
I've never seen Raoul and Christine have so much chemistry before, they're very adorable here.
I think Emilie's heavier, dramatic voice (I'd assume she's a young lirico-spinto) actually suits the role of Christine far better than any of the previous sopranos I've heard in the role. She sounds convincing as an opera singer and I also think she's easily the most beautiful Christine I've ever seen. They truly saved the best for last.
😊😅😅😅😮😢😢❤
I was absolutely blown away by her. Have not seen a Christine who Wow’d me since Jennifer Hope Wills. Emilie made that closing cast
She is a classically trained opera
Now if only her Christine was more like the one from the original story, you could accept that the casting was wrong
@@user-pm6nx1fs2w No Christine has been like the original story, because the writing and directing severely toned down her hypnotic obsession with the phantom and his psychological grip on her. So why is this casting wrong?
Emilie's one of the best Christine's I have ever seen. And I've seen many live onstage. I've seen this show over 15 times. Saw all three original U.S. national tours multiple times and the original Broadway production three times. I have never seen a Christine more focused than Emilie. Every second of the show she is immersed in the character and her natural reactions to what's happening around her are a welcomed element of her portrayal something most Chrintine's miss. And I love her strong and sometimes even delicate voice! I've long accepted that you can't really discern most soprano's lyrics when listening to them live and oftentimes even on recordings because the very nature of their sound calls for weird enunciations and requires the throat to constrict in unique ways to achieve that operatic sound but Emilie was so clear while maintaining that very beautiful and POWERFUL classic soprano sound. I never really had a favorite Christine because much of the portrayals are too similar but I always say my first ever live onstage Christine--Dale Kristien--to be my favorite. Emilie is not far behind. She's fantastic!
Completely agreed! Saw her the last time I saw the show, a week before it closed. It was my 20th time. My former favorite was Jennifer Hope Wills. But truly Emilie made that last time extra special. That show revolved around her performance
Her voice is melodic and in harmony with phantom and Raoul. She’s in harmony with the orchestra too. Crescendos and decrescendos with them. I don’t hear that with other Christines. Hats off 🎩 ✨
I'm sorry....Jeremy Stolle is the UNDERSTUDY? Wow. I knew classic show standards have high, but I didn't think they'd be THAT high. Jeremy is absolutely outstanding as the Phantom. And of course obvi Queen Emilie absolutely kills it.
I think he's loads better than the lead. He was SO GOOD in this role
Oh wow....this musical made me tear up. Its like a bittersweet tragedy. He was shunned into yhe darkness and because of the hate he experienced he became insecure and possesssive of the one person showing him true affection and ended up breaking a bond 😭 ive heard so much about this musical and now I see why.
Not to... sell myself out but... this version really perfectly showed that Christine was a victim using her power against the Phantom and her chemistry with Raoul is undeniable!! She was a survivor!
will never understand how someone gets murdered live on stage during Il Muto and they just take a 10 minute break and finish it out like it's no big deal lollllllll
The Opera Ghost has been installed for twenty years, so the Opera Populaire is used to his murderous shenanigans.
I’m on the train home from watching phantom. OH MY GOD. I think I’m hyper fixated now it’s INSANE!! I as in the pit so I could fully witness the chandelier fall and it was amazing. The phantom I saw was one of the best ones ever I think
I’m still so pissed, sad, and confused that Broadway never released a Live recording (or at least a cast recording).
I recently watched it on 12th of June and it felt so real! I felt alive! I was at the edge of my seat and the actors and orchestra played absolutely beautiful, there was so much action! 10/10
Carlotta is as glorious and queenly as Queen Charlotte❤ a true diva and prima donna!
I've never heard this carlotta before whoever she is she's amazing!!!
I will miss this musical on Broadway so much 😢
Now I MUST say a word on this STUNNING video record of this musical...I cannot stress just how AMAZING this bootleg is. Just when you thought the smartphone would be the best way to capture a show, this unique bootleg comes along to show you how it should be done. I'm guessing this is some innovative method created by the person filming it? It's obviously not your standard recording done by someone holding a smartphone. The way the camera pans and zooms in is different and seems to be done via remote control or some other method. Also, the camera remains mostly stationary. If it was someone holding a smartphone it would be all over the place. This is the most stable bootleg I've ever seen. I just wonder how this was done because it appears it's a method that hasn't been used before by others. The standard smartphone method always makes me cringe because you just know the entire performance was spoiled for some unlucky theatre patrons who had the misfortune of sitting behind the bootlegger and watching two versions of the show; one on an annoyingly bright smartphone screen and live onstage.
Emilie Kouatchou was a WONDERFUL Christine. I was so glad to see her in one of the first shows after it reopened in October 2021, and thanks to her, Kanisha, and seeing the show a million times when I got the announcement that it was closing, I can honestly say that half of the 27 times I saw it, it was with a black actress playing Christine.
Thanks for posting this. Until now, only an audio version was available.
that video is just perfect, please don’t ever take it down.
the quality is so good! i've never seen Emilie as Christine b4, thank you for sharing this
Whoever you are, whatever you have done... It doesn't matter. I love you. 🐞
The chills!!! Her voice 😍
i've seen this so many times but never so close. amazing!!
Thank you for uploading this! I got to see phantom in 2022 but unfortunately Emillie wasn't on the night i went. So glad i can finally see her performance!
This was perfection, thanks for sharing.
Bro, he estado buscando esta versión por una semana, gracias por subirla! Seria un sueño poder verla en vivo algún día!
I was looking for this version for a week, thanks you for uploading on CZcams! Would be a dream could watching in live someday! Thanks ❤️😚
you are doing the world a great service, I tip my hat to you, fine purveyor of phantom.
Emilie absolutely DEVOURED this role, WOW!!!!! 🤩 THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing, this is the best 🥾quality I’ve ever seen!!!
HOLY CRAP 1:12:40-1:12:45 is PHENOMENAL
You are a saint for this.
Out of curiosity, has anyone else ever witnessed a mishap with the chandelier? I did. I will never forget it and to this day I wonder what kept the show going because I kept waiting for everything to stop due to what happened during the overture. It was with the show's 3rd national tour (aka: Music Box Company) at Segerstrom Hall in Costa Mesa, California. It was the show's first engagement at that theatre in 1994. My sis and I were seated about 12 rows from the stage. The overture began and the chandelier began to rise and right as it completely lifted off the stage, there was a sudden downward jolt. Like it went down a step and I could've sworn I saw beads from the bottom falling off. However, after careful jogging of my memory, I've come to the conclusion no beads fell off and what happened was the bottom beads simply hit the stage when it made that sudden downward jolt. It was sudden and rapid enough that the beads struck the stage deck with an audible clanging noise and I think that gave the impression beads got loose and fell to the stage. I did not see loose beads during Hannibal but I was convinced beads fell off and I kept watching it throughout the show, expecting more beads to fall to the audience. It sort of ruined the overture for me because I was worried about falling beads! I think the rest of the audience thought it was part of the rise, for it to stutter and be unstable as an added thrill. I had seen the show 3 times before at the Ahmanson Theatre in L.A. and knew that wasn't supposed to happen.
We were teenagers at the time and my older brother who was a teacher at the time was complaining the entire way to the show because he was tired from a long day's work and had to drive us all the way to Orange County which was pretty far from our home in East L.A. He sat in a single seat 5 rows from the stage but to the extreme left and was in such a bad mood, lol. He had seen the show before so he wasn't exactly needing to see it. When the mishap happened, he said at intermission, "I was hoping the show would be canceled. I just want to go home and go to sleep but you guys dragged me all the way over here to see a cheap knock off tour of the production in L.A." That got on my nerves because I was so impressed with how perfectly it replicated the L.A. production and here he was saying it was a cheap scaled-down tour, lol. He was right about one thing, the cast was mediocre and gave oddly amateurish, cheesy performances. I still enjoyed it though. Theatre in those days was absolute magic to me. Still is but nothing beats experiencing it when you're young and opening your eyes to the world.
The hope in his eyes at 43:18 god I love jeremy
To be honest, I was very skeptical at first about the new Christina, because I already had my favorite actress in her role, but, OMG...
Her voice is AMAZING, WONDERFUL. No words - Legend. She performed Christina's parts best of all, especially the phantom of the opera. The best, love her 💕
Thanks, author, for this slime 🥰🥰
Why were you skeptical?
@@tiffanyheartsu7271 I was skeptical because I had an association with Anne Boleyn from the recent adaptation and I thought about changing the story again where the actress would be hired not for her great talent but because of a new agenda. I have nothing against it but in fact the Phantom of the Opera is also historical because a specific era is indicated there and I was pleasantly surprised by the actress’s performance, because she was created for the role of Christina. She totally know what she do👏🏻👏🏻
I can’t believe it took them THIS long to have a black Christine 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
only to close the show,,😪 did you get to see her live?
Why would there be a black christine this is based on in 1800s france 🤦
@@Heatwave9000 were you saying this when there was an asian christine? or a black phantom? i think it's weird that you're basically saying that just because this adaptation is supposed to be set in france, almost 40 years were supposed to go by and every black actress fit for the role was supposed to be shut out just because of christine's race in the original story. this isn't a movie adaptation. this is something that real life people worked hard and auditioned for. broadway has historically made it difficult for majority black projects to get any funding, leaving many nonwhite actors without work. there have been improvements over the years, but most black actors are still making history when it comes to roles due to doors simply remaining shut for them. you can't seriously convince me that after three decades of actresses playing the role, you draw the line at them casting a black actress ONCE and very conveniently as the show is about to end its run.
Ikr?
I love it. As a Blasian I love the Christine.
Still beyond salty that no one thought to film it before it went off broadway
She’s the best & beautiful Christine in history!!!!❤
59 : I was laugh Prima diva Carlotta) is actually good in 25th and this one i love angel of music and point of no return everyone did great job doing this
Emilie is up there with Sarah Brightman.. Her voice like Sarah's is mature and full.. I always reserve judgement until I see and hear the "title" song.. and if the actress can hit the final note or not.. without going flat or sharp.. Emilie did it perfect.. Only two other actresses have done it in my opinion.. Brightman and Rebecca Caine...
Not taking anything away from anyone but you do know that the entire title song is lip-synched in every production, right? So it is perfect every night. Not sure what the rationale for having that one number lip-synched. I know the orchestra is playing live during that song. The only other part of the show that is prerecorded is the first half of the overture, then the orchestra kicks in live after the chandelier has reached the top. I've always wanted to see the title number sung live because it would be breathtaking to hear Christine actually hit that high note live but alas, that has always been prerecorded.
@@rickramos1292 You may believe that but I have heard the final note sung live by Rebecca Caine.. Who starred as Christine in the Canadian Production back in the late 80's and into the 90's.. I was there as part of a class trip.. and there was a question and answer session before the show... Caine was there along with a few other cast members... and she was asked if it was difficult to hit that note at the end of the "title" song... While she did say it was difficult to do it was well within her range as a trained opera soprano... and then much to the delight of the audience she sang the final three notes of the song on the spot...
@@KNPrince Oh, I have no doubt that Rebecca Caine can hit those notes with ease. Never said she couldn't. The same with every Christine. It may be prerecorded but that is still them hitting those notes on the recording. Like I said, I'm not sure what the rationale is for having that one number prerecorded. It seems you thought I was saying no actress who has played Christine has sung those notes live so therefore they can't do them at all. Not at all. Just meant to point out it isn't done live during the live performances. I may even be wrong about that as I recall reading somewhere that some actresses from some of the European productions did do that title song live including the high notes but I'm not sure where I read that or if it was true.
@@rickramos1292I think it’s honestly an issue of the director always wanting for that E6 note at the top to have a glass shattering and mysterious echo-quality at the end, and once you get the extreme upper and/or lower ends of your vocal range, it gets really difficult to incorporate natural vibrato. It could be that some of these Christines had never done any sort of classical training beforehand, so it’s hard on their voice. However, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a terrible Christine before, so I think it’s more that the director wants for that E6 to be sold to the audience as this beautifully glass shattering echo across the stage.
Yes, most classically trained sopranos can technically hit notes up to at least an F6. I turned 28 a few months ago, I’m a light lyric coloratura soprano, I’ve been getting classically trained to sing opera and musical theater in private lessons since I was 15, and I can get up to an A#6/Bb6 in warm ups. I’ve learned arias where I was required to hit E6s and F#6s. I sang the Queen Of the Night’s first aria “O, Zittre Nicht,” and I added them on in Una Voce Poco Fa. Even for classically trained sopranos with a wide range and strong coloratura technique, once we get above a D#6/Eb6, those notes are usually 2-3 second bumps at the top in our range or staccato notes that make the audience go “Oh, neat, they can do that with their voice!” It’s very rare for even sopranos to be able to sustain notes above a D#6/Eb6 for long.
When you look at the vocal score for the Phantom of the Opera theme song, you’ll see that the high E6 at the end is a dotted whole note in 6/4 time signature. That means it gets 6 beats, but 6 beats in 6/4 time at an Allegro-Vivace pace means that it should really only be a 2-3 second hold on that E6. However, because Phantom of the Opera is supppsed to be sung throughout the vast, wide, and mysterious underground caverns of the Opera Populaire, directors want it to have this mysterious echo quality that goes on for longer than that.
@@Schoolgirl325 Are high notes something that is developed over time? I know that both sopranos and tenors have to learn how to produce that classic operatic sound which requires learning techniques that shape the way they open their throats and mouths which I think I read somewhere can be quite difficult to get right. I always thought opera singers just naturally had that sound but apparently it is all learned. The only thing they have that is natural is the ability to project and of course ability to sing. Correct me if I'm wrong. You know more about that than me.
This is amazing view and such great hd quality thank you so much!
May I download this?
This is so amazing. Thank you for posting it. I have just one question, though. Why hasn’t a Live recording been released? 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Hi! What do you mean by that? You mean a live recording on the final night or in general?
@@bootlegscentral1527 a Live recording of the final show.
@@eristineforever6934 They probably recorded it and just are waiting for the right time to release it or maybe people savoured the moment with their own eyes
@@bootlegscentral1527 oh. Alright. I would love for a Live recording to be released because I am one of the fans that has never seen it on Broadway. I live far away and I just can’t afford to. I think it’s cruel and unfair if it doesn’t happen. I’m just say.
1:41:03 the best part
Christine Daaé, She has Sierra Boggess' Voice.
This Christine and Raoul are cute together, but I dont understand why a lot of the actors sing All I Ask of You with such force behind their voices, especially at the beginning of the song… I wish they’d do it more like Barton and Brightman did: very smooth and soft, almost like a lullaby at times. And Barton and Brightman did it that way live too, so I don’t think it’s a matter of needing to project more.
this is incredible! the quality is amazing and everything looks and sounds excellent. i have to ask though, what was up with the proscenium lights? doesnt look like they were working you could barely see it during the overture & crash
Amazing. Thank you so much. Do you have other videos of her?
Saw it in person and in korea. South korea did a way better job than broadway. It wasnt bad just not my fav cast. Though emilie was great as christine and the guy playing andre was the best andre ever.
Can anyone tell me what does Meg say when she leaves the room at 24:32 ? Was it a new line added to the show ? (English isn't my first language)
She stammers away muttering, "Rehearsals! Always rehearsals! :("
Guys don’t like this video to comment to much because it will get taken down 😔
do you have a goggle drive of this video??
Hi! That is not Bradley Dean as Andre. That's Scott Mikita. :)
I have never seen the live production, only listened to the soundtrack. I imagined that during the title song, Christine would be singing those high notes, and the Phantom would be on the side playing his little ditty on the organ while shouting SING MY ANGEL OF MUSIC. That's how this should have been staged tbh.
This is legitimately my favourite cast- is it possible to Al for a google drive link?
26:05
I really dislike the beginning of these shows. The auctioneers have always made me reel in the newer shows
Who is this Carlotta?
1:10:28 🤧
Lolll I wonder why he did that
I hate Christine’s bun. I hate it so much. I prefer her hair down.
I like it honestly! It gives a different hair style to what it usually is, id love it if some other productions would give her a different hair style then just down 24/7
@@bootlegscentral1527 I’m just not a fan. I never have been and never will. I’m glad you like it, though.
This is tremendous camera work
Any more Phantom videos will be greatly appreciated
Seriously the idea of the Two Faced mask for Erik/The Phantom is actually stupid when they're using the "Born deformed" version. His entire face it's supposed to be concealed, that's literally part of what makes him The Phantom. This two-faced mask makes him look like just somebody who fought in a war or got moderately burned in a fire and can still live among the rest of society.
The orchestra sounds lazy
