Are you ready for the Phantom?

08.03.2012 by Leah // Leave a Comment

About 2 months ago I happily bought a dvd copy of The Phantom of the Opera – that 2004 movie adaption that starred the young Gerard Butler as the Phantom and Emma Rossum as Christine.  I haven’t seen the actual musicale yet so this is the closest I could get to hearing its famous songs (“All I Ask of You” and “Music of the Night”) and see in moving pictures the haunting love story of the Phantom and Christine.

This 2004 movie adaptation was particularly special because the major characters in the story were chosen by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber himself, known as the brain and heart behind the stage adaptation of the Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita.    The film was directed by Joel Schumacher, and as far as I’m concerned, he did not disappoint with the production of the film.  I loved it!

Gerard Butler may not be the perfect choice for the Phantom, but his rocker-style voice suited me fine and I think that gave the Phantom of a different charm and appeal.  Emily Rossum’s crystal clear voice and fragile beauty, on the other hand, are just perfect for Christine.  I can’t imagine any other actress who can do Christine the way she did.

And now,  I will actually have the chance to see the musicale – live and straight from Manila!  Because Citibank and Smart Infinity are bringing The Phantom of the Opera  at the Cultural Center of the Philippines starting August 25 until September 30, 2012 (only!).

Can’t wait to hear the music of the night – live!  I hope to get our tickets this weekend, so good luck to us!

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers

Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will c Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will celebrate it in heaven na ☁️☁️☁️ Pero kasama mo pa rin kami magce-celebrate. Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito
