Singer: Matthew Ciuffitelli
Lyrics by: Matthew Ciuffitelli
Song: Music of the Night
From: The Phantom of the Opera
Original Composer: Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics:
Night time, endless, everyoneâs awake now.
Feeling hungry, eating like a fat cow.
Silently I tip-toe, making sure they donât know.
Slowly gently, sneak into the kitchen
Grab food, eat it, abandoning ambition.
Turn my face away from the mirror on display, turn my gaze away to save my self esteem.
Then realize weâre all stuck in quarantine.
Close your eyes and pretend this isnât happening
Lifeâs so weird, things are getting real bizarre
Canât believe itâs only been six weeks so far..
And I canât even go to my favorite bar.
Napping all day, eating when I get bored.
Losing patience, family being ignored
Weâre all starting fights over nothing, which feels right.
Knowing weâre all going crazy it would seem.
Then remember weâre all trapped in quarantine!
Instagram showing me another stupid meme
And CZcams until Six in the morning
My cell phone has become my closest friend!
And it feels like this will never endâŠ
It could be worse, longing for connection.
Staying home and fighting the infection.
And essential workers our countryâs life preservers
The heroes that are keeping us pristine.
Remembering weâre all here in quarantine!
Praying that they find a new vaccine.
Hoping for the best⊠in.. quaran.. tiiiiiiine
A special thank you to our essential workers - ZĂĄbava
We need a one man phantom of the opera show with this guy playing ALL the characters!
Iâd be down for that! đđ
look up nick pitera. he did that
Matthew is the bestđ he in this video sings great!!!!!đđđ
I---LOVE---IT!!! His voice is absolutely AMAZING, so I really couldn't even laugh!!
Ellen Morrison thank you so much!! đ
Am I the only person who does this when Iâm home alone?đđđ
You and me both!! đđđ
Amazing. If I wasnât reading the lyrics, Iâm positive I was at the opera. Thanks.
That's what I like to hear!! Thank you so much! :D
WOW AND WOW!!!!!!! ( insert standing ovation - as multiple bags of chips, cookies, various random snacks fall to the floor - and a lone tear slowly makes it way down my cheek...... only to be absorbed by my homemade cloth mask) oh well ... anyway.....BRILLIANT! Just BRILLIANT!
Bobbie Quilty Kahn the journey I took reading your comment! đđđđ thank you so much đ
Have you ever played the Phantom?? You're voice IS the Phantom â€
I have not! But I sure would love to :D
@@OperaDaddy Let's hope you will! And on stage again.
I have never read a more true comment!
The Opera Guy basso profondo? Iâm a baritone bass at low end and Christine at high
He really should!!!
The best part of all of this is how calmly that cat reacted to you nailing that high Ab.
he is the coolest of cats haha
I randomly searched for "phantom of the opera parody" and this came up. I've had this song stuck in my head for a while, and these past few months have been crazy. Really great job!
Thank you so much! I'm glad we found each other haha
As a long time fan of Phantom.....you just made my day!!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!!!
I am at a down spot in my life,hoping things work out. This was the first laugh I've had in months!!!
THANK YOU!!!đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„°
Thank YOU for the wonderful comment! Itâs very much appreciated and ready this made MY day so thank you for that đ
My 95-year-old mother-in-law found this and sent us the link, since she knows we're longtime San Diego Opera subscribers. Delightful performance!
Oh thatâs wonderful! Thank you so much! đ
Doritos, Girl Scout cookies, napping ...... AND you can sing ...... my kind of guy !!
Luna Lovegood got the full quarantine care package đ đŠ
Matthew Ciuffitelli---what amazing talent! Not only the voice, but an incredible comedic sense. Even more impact to be classically handsome and also displaying such humor and presence. You remind me of my relative, the "last of the greats" bass Samuel De Palma--when he was young.
You're so sweet! Thank you so much Jesse. That's very high praise!
Thank you, The Opera Guy! As a COVID-19 survivor, I owe my life to our essential workers. I lost my husband of 35 years to this deadly virus. Your tribute to our heroes and the gift of your voice is the most fantastic show of gratitude I have seen. Thank you, thank you thank you for lifting our spirits. Stay safe!
Iâm very sorry to hear about your husband. My deepest condolences. I only hope I could provide a small distraction in these trying times
Luci, I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Absolutely brilliant. The tuxedo top- astronaut pajama bottom, the voice! Has Andrew Lloyd Webber hired you yet?? Grateful for your humor and positive attitude during these challenging times. Laughter is healing. đđ»đđ
Thank you so much and no not yet! But, here's hoping he sees this video :D Genuinely happy to hear you enjoyed it :)
I would love to see you as Phantom one day, your voice is amazing!
Iâd love to see an entire show like this ^^ with landlord as director and that damn annoying see-it-all Neighbor as primadonna.
Ramona Schnauzevoll Iâd pay money to see that! đ
I feel this on a spiritual level
redcloud16 same đ
As a phantom devotee seen it many times I can hand on heart say you would be perfect to play the phantom and I hope Andrew Lloyd Webber sees this and hires you to play the phantom in London so I can come see you ... breathtaking â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Oh my goodness.... I'm legitimately taken aback by this comment! Thank you so much
Your cat đ hung in there. love love love this!!!
Yeah he did! haha thank you! :)
My wife liked the cat. Ours is much more skittish. Your voice is excellent, and the whole production -- lyrics, acting, costume -- is first class.
1. This is freakin AMAZING!
2. I canât believe itâs been a full year since this video came out.
3. Your cat is so cute! And coincidentally looks a lot like my cat đ
Funny yet sad parody...
Itâs reality, I can relate this...
Amazing voice & very nice home...
I love the lyrics you did for it!! It's like you made a modern version of the Phantom trapped in his prison all because of a simple curse of 'Quarantine'. Beautiful work!! And such an amazing voice!! Bravi!! Bravi!! Bravisima!!đđ»đ€©
Youâre not only a great singer, but extremely creative. Iâm sure youâll never be out of work. Hope tons of casting directors see this. BTW, Phantom of the Opera is my favorite play of all times.
Mercedes Sanchez thank you so much Mercedes!!! đI hope so too!! đ€đ
Brilliantly performed. Your cat đ is stellar! Iâve seen âPhantomâ three times. Your voice equals if not surpasses all three performers who portrayed the Phantom. High praise and unending gratitude to our frontline workers who put everything on the line for our health and well-being. â€ïžđ
Susan Hopkins thank you so much!!! Thatâs high praise indeed, they always hire the best of the best to sing the role đ and I have a lot of healthcare workers in my family so it hits close to home for me. Thank you again for your support and your kind words â€ïž also my cats name is Milo and heâs the real star if weâre being honest đ đ±
@The Opera Guy ... First Things First: MILO is a Rock Star! đ»đč Your video is not just wonderfully performed and humorous, your dedication to âessential workersâ struck a chord with me as well. We owe our survival to frontline medical/EMT workers, but letâs not overlook grocery store employees who are also âgoing the distanceâ on our behalf. Lastly, I hope good fortune visits you, given your vocal gifts. All good wishes to you and Milo, the real star đ of the show as weâve previously discussed! đ đ â€ïž đ
2:19 "and CZcams until six in the morning"! 3 o clock so far here, still fighting
Impressive voice! Your lungs are fine. You can get out of the quarantine.
THIS IS BRILLIANT! đ This will go viral in no time!!!!!
Thank you and here's hoping!!! :D
The Opera Guy iâm going to share it w news sources. itâs worth a try. itâs too dang good not to be shared!!!! đ„°
cindyward19 you are amazing!!! Thank you for doing that! â€ïž
Man... I would love to see you as the Phantom tbh
Thank you! hey ya never know! maybe one day...
WOW...What a voice!!! Someone emailed me your Phantom of the Quarantine video tonight and I thought, "Is this guy for real?" I had to look you up to find out if this voice was really yours and to find out who you were because your voice is so fantastic. You held that last note at the end....WOOOOOOWWWW!!! I had to subscribe to your channel so that I can listen to more. Listening to more and enjoying your singing tonight. You are an extremely talented, gifted, handsome young man. I wish you every success. You're incredible...and from the other comments I've read so far, everybody is in awe of you. Thank you for posting your videos. Absolutely wonderful.
Thank you so much for your kind words C J!! Doing my best to pass the time and have a little fun while we all wait for the performing arts to get up and running again. Your glowing review put a BIG smile on my face!! :D
@@OperaDaddy I appreciate so much, you taking the time to respond to my comment. I'm glad it put a big smile on your face. You are well deserving of praise. I hope and pray that things will get back to normal soon so that you can continue performing in public. In the meantime, I think your videos are genius! What a brilliant way to continue to share your talent with the world and show a sense of humor that you have about our current day situation. You are very resourceful and the words to your parodies are so clever. I always think of opera performers as being "serious." But your display of a "sense of humor" is like a breath of fresh air, despite the difficult times we are all going through. BRAVO! Well done! Thank you for creating these videos. They're absolutely wonderful.
You are a champion. How much fun was that! You may have made my whole year. Cheers!
Thank you so much Grant! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Hysterical and Wonderful all at the same time! Loved it. You are a fabulous singer!
Gcat thank you!! đ
Awesome performance. I love the Phantom and you did it so well to make it uplifting during a difficult time we are all suffering from. Thank you so much.đ€
Connie Horner thank YOU so much and it was my pleasure! Iâm always so happy to read that people enjoyed it so thank you for your kind words đđ
This is so awesome - thank you for lifting my spirits!!!!
It was my pleasure Elizabeth! Thank you for commenting :D
Oh, I absolutely LOVED this. You have a hauntingly beautiful voice. Bravo! I've seen The Phantom three times, live, the first with Michael Crawford in LA. You brought so many happy memories back; I was smiling while tears filled my eyes at the same time. Moving. I would definitely go again to see you preform. Excellent!
Thank you so much! It was my pleasure and I can't begin to tell you how much your kind words mean to me! :)
Bravo! Love your tuxedo with pajamas, and of course your singing :D
Alexandra Yu thank you so much! đ

Those who can't appreciate the quality of this fellow's voice, by giving dislikes, should have their ears permanently sealed with silicone.
I discovered you early this year. I am so happy I did! I love your work!!!
That G#4 was heavenly.
Thank you!!

Thank you Opera Guy. As a senior with other risk factors who is enduring perpetual "house arrest" I absolutely enjoyed your creation and performance. I am a musical buff (I watched Singing in the Rain last evening) who ranks Phantom as #1. Thank you for bringing some joy and I will certainly be sharing your performance with others. Stay safe and well.
It was my pleasure and thank YOU for your kind words! They are very much appreciated!
Iâm so thrilled by your singing. Amazing and fantastic đ đđđđđ Btw, any sequel?

Thank you! :D
Since itâs 2021 and weâre STILL stuck with COVID and I just found this masterpiece- and sent it to all my friends without an explanation. Wish me luck ;) AND THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!!!! I canât decide whether to laugh or cry or clap
Thank you! and all reactions are acceptable at this point haha
In that case- Iâll gladly do all three at the same time! I keep coming back to this, itâs so good!!
(watching this 2024)
Phantom when heâs stuck with Christine during Quarantine:
I want to like this so many times.
Thank you so much!
Wow..he did it to keep us entertained but we cannot realise how serious and sad this is!đđđđ
Great lyrics, brilliant delivery and like the PJ bottoms đ€Ł very funny
Just awesome!!!!! Loved it!
Ginny Schirripa thank you! đ
Okay, but why do I absolutely adore this?! đ
To be fair, "sneaking into the kitchen" and "avoiding the mirror" are things the actual Phantom does.
No words... only love and appreciation. Well done, Sir Opera Fellow.
Thank you so much! :D
Awesome!! Great job & thank you from a fellow quarantiner đ. Hope you are still well đ
It was my pleasure! Happy to hear you enjoyed it! Hope you are staying safe as well :)
Genius! Lincoln Center is available for your performance, if they give us a problem I I think I still have the key for Paul Hall.
Thank you! I think an impromptu performance may be in order! haha
Haha. Loved it. Trying to get my kidsâ interested in opera with your videos. đ
That's what I like to hear! Start em young!
Amazing! I loved it đâ€ïž
Thank you!! đđ
This is amazing. My grandma loved it so much she emailed me with the link đ
Jasmine Carlson thank you so much!! So happy you enjoyed it đ
Absolutely brilliant production and so love your voice! đ„° Your video was forwarded to me from family in South Africa then did a quick Google to find the source.
Ruth Sweeney thank you so much! And itâs always so exciting to see where these videos end up! đ
The lyrics are clever, but the VOICE!! Iâm nearly in tears over this glorious voice. Who is this guy?? I want to go see him perform...oh no! Weâre stuck in QUARANTINE!!!
Bless you!! When the world opens again I'm gonna post my performance dates on all my social media!
The Opera Guy I hope you will be in the Washington, D.C. or Northern Virginia area. Iâll be there!,

Fantastic! Loved! You have an amazing voice. Thank you for making us laugh and at the same time enjoy listening to such a beautiful voice, you are blessed! Please do me a favor add the subtitles for other languages, here in Brazil we have many people who don't speak English and would enjoy listening to you. Thank you
Thank you so much! That definitely something Iâll look into! đ
@@OperaDaddy Please do. Add the different languages to the subtitles and more people all over the world can enjoy your voice and understand you. Thank you.
