Ramin Karimloo (Phantom) and Sierra Borgess (Christine) perform this spectacular rendition of the epic title number, live from the Royal Albert Hall.
From Phantom of The Opera at the Royal Albert Hall (2011): In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, Cameron Mackintosh produced a unique, spectacular staging of the musical on a scale which had never been seen before. Inspired by the original staging by Hal Prince and Gillian Lynne, this lavish, fully-staged production set in the sumptuous Victorian splendour of London's legendary Royal Albert Hall features a cast and orchestra of over 200, plus some very special guest appearances.

Verdaderamente CHAPÓ.Sierra con voz excepcional y arrolladora. Ramin Super.!! Pero me gustan más Sarah y Banderas. Tienen distinto timbre de voz y existe más contraste. No pienso que Banderas cante mejor que Ramin pero SON GUSTOS!!!NO DIGO PUNTO SIN RETORNO SINO PUNTO Y SEGUIDO
You will curse the day you did not do all that the phantom asked of you
Please release "Think Of Me" next time something comes from Phantom
@Fire storm Gamer p]
I gotta say, whoever that legend is, who’s shredding that electric guitar in this show about an opera, is beyond the mortal plain.
He's truly next level
EXACTLY
Probly Slash
As a metal head i needed this comment....what am i doing here than?..... hey man
I mean, the opera was originally conceived as a rock opera...
I love how when the Phantom tells her to sing, it's almost like he is literally pulling the notes out of her, and forcing her to hit pitches that even she's never tried before, to the point where she is practically screaming.
His acting from the “Sing! Sing for me!” part (3:45-4:35) is top notch!
Yes, he is her music teacher and is acting as such. You found the mystery, Sherlock Holmes!
@@mieshocked1450 alright esmeralda, chill
@@chriskk2782 Yes, he is her music teacher and is acting as such. You found the mystery, Sherlock Holmes!
There is also an...ahem...subtext to that. The whole singing thing between them is definitely also a metaphor for something else...
Nobody knows who he is, nobody knows why he's there. One day, he just showed up with his electric guitar, and started shredding during band practice, and everyone- even the conductor just kinda went along with it.
lol
Now that’s what I call an Angel of Music
Wahahahahaha! 😂 Comment of the day!
A beautiful tale
And thus began the Devil May Cry series
4:19 Christine's voice is a bit sharp (higher in pitch) here and I think it's deliberate, it makes the sound brighter and more piercing and intense. It's genius!
I think it's Sierra's thing on the onset of high and long notes in prevent of a later dropping.
I doubt it was deliberate, but I like it anyway
It's so high it rings. It's almost a dual-tone. She's amazing.
Are we not gonna talk about how there's an electric guitar in this song and it just????works????
Modern classic
It just works
It’s in the movie too lol
Also rock organ
its a modern classic ofc.
Seriously? Is there anything more intense than this song? That last high note Christine hits is truly amazing.
Sing!

I find it funny how she’s rubs her throat after the last note like... “what the f*** just came out of me???” Lol
Because singing that high can hurt, lol.
She's just like: I'm gonna have laryngitis for a month after this!!!
@@alisond929 Yep. OP found it funny but Sierra tends to do that when she sings it live (though here she was definitely acting, I agree.) Going that high seems to really hurt her vocal chords.
@@sanctacaecilia11 yup
@@alisond929 whats the point in having such a high note then if its all pre recorded? Just have a slightly lower one and have it sung live each time. Audiences don't come for pre recordings 😆😅
The way Ramin says "MY Angel of Music" at 3:37 is so unique to him, and he makes it sounds as if he were Erik because Erik is insanely possessive of Christine.
yesss
Christine: How high do you want me sing?

She's breathtaking .....both of their voices are phenomenal. As a tenor, one can only dream to reach his level of expertise
as someone who sounds like a rooster, i can only dream to reach half their level of expertise :')
Her voice is phenomenal, pronunciation is meh
@@centaurithething1649 her diction is awesome imo
Nah
As an alto, this song makes me wanna cry. I can’t even fathom how much air it takes to just sound, much less support, those notes
Is nobody going to talk about those who sing 'Beware the Phantom of the opera' honestly that bit is just perfection.
yes the ensemble needs more recognition!
Exactly it gives me the chills at that moment well the entire musical does! xox
Unfortunately during Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer they were singing terribly flat (not to take away from the outstanding job they did here)
It’s always the backup singers that get short end of the recognition stick
agreed. is that katie hall belting above all of them? it sounds like her
Why is no one talking about the note he hits at 0:10. Like holy cow it's like that note physically stabs you. It's absolutely insane!
The way it reverbs and melts into the song- literal chills!!!!!
Im 15 but this chomposition is exelent!
oh my DAYS
Trust me, this song is so much cooler live. I saw this in a field trip, and I got chills when the beginning started playing. It was absolutely phenomenal, and I had goosebumps the entire time during this song. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. If you can get tickets to see this, I absolutely recommend buying them. You won't be disappointed.
I will work hard to get the money when I’m older! 😉👍🏻
I had tickets for 26th March 2020 Manchester UK. Lock down came 23rd March, gutted doesn't cover it.
You saw it on a field trip?!
My school who refuses to buy us air conditioning: 😐
You lucky dog! I wish I could see this live! 😱
I can't get over how hot Ramin is. his voice and aura. everything
big facts
but in the movie, the phantom of the opera, gerard butler is the phantom and hes a snackkkk
a1m0nd m1lk Gerard Butler is dogshite, he’s genuinely so bad
@@MrMjdc but he cute tho
The truth has been spoken
3:46 This exact moment, when he 'commands' her to SING! Apart from her obvious singing talent, her timing and expression in that precize moment is perfect. It is as though the 'aaaah' is overcoming her and she has no control over it. Almost as if he controls her and she doesn't know whether it is a curse or a blessing.
Ее душа вырывается наружу...
By Christ, he DOESN'T CONTROL HER, she's just S I N G I N G. And surely being with Erik it's a blessing, and a heartwarming, intense love experience ❤️🔥
@@mieshocked1450 wow very good media comprehension
@@mieshocked1450 Erik was known to be a hypnotist. She was in trance
@@PADARM No, he was known to be a magician, Christine was never in trance. But if that's your interpretation, ok, thankfully the original novel proves the opposite :)
Dad: Son what are you watching?
Me: I'm listening to the Phantom of the Opera singing "The Phantom of the Opera" from the musical, "The Phantom of the Opera"
based on the book The Phantom of The Opera
Is no one going to talk about the backing music? It's fantastic! I love the racing violins, the dramatic bassline, and just how it all perfectly complements Ramin and Sierra's voices! This would have been amazing to hear live...
EXACTLY
This orchestra needs massive standing ovation! 😍 so R&S
AGREED
YES!!!! I will write in my nacional language, Portuguese. Just if you want to use the Google translate
INCRÍVEL!!! eu simplesmente amei essa orquestra! Confesso que não faço ideia da importância do maestro, mas acho incrível toda a performance! Eles cantando também é ótimo, mas as cenas só com a orquestra me ganharam. É tenso, assustador, dramático, incrível!!!!! Eu amo musicais, até aprendi inglês pra isso kk
totally! and i've been drumming along and loving the electric guitar
This show was, hands down, the most dramatic performance of The Phantom of the Opera I've seen. After seeing the show live 4 times (and the movie countless times) these actors floored me. Tiny details totally changed the meaning of smaller scenes, and made me view things differently. Just amazing cast and crew!
Totally agree👌
@MeetStargazer.... May I ask where you saw the other live performances, if it's not too personal? I saw two live performances on Broadway. They were amazing shows and I have to admit the chandelier moment gave me goosebumps both times. For it to be able to come down and crash and then rise right over the audience was spectacular!! The acting in this performance was sublime though. I adore both "Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo!" I hate to admit but I wasn't crazy over the part played by Raoul though. Although his voice is wonderful, he was a little too aloof for my taste. I wish they would have had "Patrick Wilson" play the part as Raoul, he's supposed to be madly in love with Christine, which Wilson did to perfection. He's so gorgeous as well LoL 😍
@@kudubwrong7897 I was disappointed with this chandelier scene too. On Broadway (and my cities performing arts centers), there were so many moving parts of the stage that made everything so magical. I cried during the chandelier scene on Broadway!Honestly, the stage mechanics of this show wasnt the best. And Raoul was more aggressive than love-struck (not bad, but not what I wanted). But the actors brought something new to the table. Like, over the top dramatic and I loved that!
"Tiny details totally changed the meaning of smaller scenes". I know right! This production is the best.
@@meetstargazer9961 I guess the reason it was simpler in decorations is because this concert took place in Royal Albert Hall and not in Her Majesty's Theatre. I mean these decorations here are not original. Or have it changed so much during the last decade? I remember seeing the Phantom in the early 2000s in Her Majesty's, and the chandelier was the same as nowadays.
Ever since Friday, I haven’t stopped listening to this soundtrack - I absolutely adored this production! It was so wonderful :D
Exact same with me I am obsessed
Mikey M :D I agree!!! It was amazing!
Me too! Loved it so much. What a gift.
Me too!
Me too 😍
4:42 love love LOVE the facial expressions Sierra does here as Christine. It’s almost as if the Phantom was pulling a voice out of her she didn’t even know she had. And is in complete shock.
Incredible Acting !!!!!
I will never get tired of Ramin and Sierra
Amelie White SAME
Same!!
S A M E!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Rierra FTW 😍😍😍
Same! I saw it 4 times while on free streaming, then bought it, watched multiple times since! Can’t get enough!!
The fact that at 4:26 the fog from the stage appears to be coming out of Christine's mouth like magic is a nice touch, even if unintentional.
I re-watched the whole show today and also noticed that! It's really cool!!!!
i just had the same thought.
Me when I can see my breath in the air in winter
His voice is so powerful. Ramin is the best Phantom for me, so is Sierra as Christine. Chemistry between them made the best harmony.
(my personal bias)
Norm Lewis is my favourite
dorin kim not as good as Michael Crawford
for me the best christine is sarah brightman
Agreed. I was blown away.
radium norm Lewis is ok not amazing like Colm Wilkinson, Ramin or Crawford
Please bring back the full show here on RUclips🥺
I wish they’d kept it on here for longer than 24 hours because I love this show too much!!
Nicola Palmer it was up for 48 hrs, but same because it was AMAZING
YES omg I miss watching the full thing already
It was up for 48 hours when I'm at and I watched it 4 times!
I was literally about to say the samething
For 48 hrs except UK.
If the Phantom sings like this calling you, YOU. GO. WITH. HIM.
That's the rule.
Nah phantom’s an incel
Nah fam, his voice may be incredible, but this dude is a grade A creep. She should have run when she still had the chance.
I mean I wouldn’t resist! It’d be so cool!!!

Your voice turned into the stock market?
Jen-Yueh Hu Your sense of humour turned into a post box?
@@brandanl7780 Hey, post boxes are nice.
Sierra is BEYOND AMAZING! What a set of PIPES! Notice how at 4:34, she’s in a trance, but that last note (E) really snapped her out of it somehow. She’s completely befuddled and in shock: “what on earth just came out of my mouth?! I didn’t know I could sing like that!” It’s a great touch, look how she even clutches her throat. This music is so EPIC
It's lip synced. From he's there the phantom...to the E6. That does not discredit how amazing her talent and skills are but it's why it sounds so perfect. This note is always lip synced to save the actress from vocal damage.
@@themidascurse4048I thought only the e6 was dubbed. Everything else sounds genuine. You can pick up on that better with headphones
@@michaelwright1295 the E6 is definitely not sung live but I think certain other parts must also be pre-recorded for practical reasons. Compared to the other parts of the songs, there are moments when you can no longer hear Sierra's breathing. Like suddenly she's no longer out of breath despite just moving a lot or belting high notes continously. I think those are the pre-recorded bits. Definitely does not diminish how talented these people are though 😊
Lol it’s an F you armchairs.
3:35 I love how powerful and commanding Ramin's voice is when he says "My _ANGEL_ of music!"
Most other Phantoms I've seen start this segment of the song very soft like they're trying to be smooth/seductive and build up from there, but it usually strikes me as a bit corny/cheesey.
_This_ Phantom doesn't play games; he just cuts straight to the chase with that arresting growl and commands Christine to start singing, with a perfect blend of passion and menace.
I know what you mean. Ramin really commands his lines. He is so good at adding power and inflection while singing. Plus, he cries and screams so well. I’ve seen the play live a few times and the fake crying from those other actors was just terrible! Lol
That so true!
@@tyriesamalone968 I'm not gay, but damn I wouldn't mind if he pays me a visit through the mirror
@@psl109 oh my😂😂😂😂😭
Fact*
Fun facts:
They use body doubles to get to the walkway above so fast
The high E is pre recorded as not to strain her voice
The phantom disappears by reclining further back on the throne and a piece of black is inserted to hide him...
Not that I’ve been obsessing over it since Friday
I had no idea that the high E was prerecorded! But it totally makes sense! I have tried singing that, I can get the high A, B F, G and high C, but the E is one note I can't get. But I deal with acid reflux damage on my vocal chords, so my high notes don't come out as often, I did sing music of the night the other day, and hit the high As for soar and Be, it felt so good, but the G, B and C are harder to hit these days.
I did wonder if they were body doubles! Thanks for solving the disappearing phantom mystery for me too
Doesn't look like they're using body doubles here though. In the real stage show, there are three gangways going across the stage and as the Phantom and Christine walk off stage on one level, they reappear almost instantly on the level beneath. I'm guessing they didn't have those capabilities at the Royal Albert, so Ramin and Sierra are just walking back and forth on one gangway as it lowers.
Amy M they did get up there awfully quick 🤷🏼♀️
Amy M I don’t remember who the phantom double was I think his name is Thor, but Katie hall was the Christine double
I love the look he gives at 3:08. Like he's shocked she just spoke over him and said everything he was thinking. These two have such great chemistry within their performances and are so talented. I've watched this rendition countless times and will probably keep going with no regrets.
Phantom: 🎶 _"We finish each other's..."_
Christine: _"...Sandwiches..."_ 🎵
gineriella Great catch!
Right before that, at 3:04 you see her realization of who she's with.
Same! The nuance
Oooh, that’s a great little touch.
this is the best Phantom of Opera cast I've ever seen
I have to agree
Agreed!
what are the names of the actors?
Same
Same
Absolutely love Ramin's version of Phantom in this title song.
"Grrrrooow strrrrrooonger yet"
"It's meeeee...they hear"
"You allllways knew....."
What about when he first sang, "the Phantom of the Opera"?
4:40 : I love how Christine grasps at her throat after the high note, amazed at what the Phantom has been able to draw out of her. Meanwhile, Sierra Boggess (and anyone else who plays Christine) hits that note every night.
I’ve read that very rarely does the Christines actually sing the last note and it’s often pre-recorded to avoid straining their voice, which is understandable especially those who play this in a regular play (8/week).
Not true. Since the beginning of this show the high notes are pre-recorded.
@@jaclpz : Ah, I see. Disappointing but understandable.
downtown82 the entire title track is prerecorded.
@Anne Boelyn no they are right, the whole song is
4:00 I love the way he takes off the cape , DRAMATIC KING
he is a drama queen
Drama bitch 😎💅🏻
THAT WAS SO SEXY, AND FOR WHAT
In my opinion every person who auditions to the role of the phantom should get casted based on his cape flipping
@@b.d6642 Agreed!
I love how this song is so beautifully written- it describes how the manipulation of the phantom controls Christine in a way that is desiring and passionate. How we somehow understand this love is forbidden, but to Christine is uncontrollable and it is up to fate
Phantom: “Sing! Sing for me!!!”
Christine: “Wtf do you think I’ve been doing for the past 3 minutes?”
Edit 2024: I still think this is the best version of this song (and whoever thought of putting an electric guitar in this theme was a total genius). I’d say either Ramin Karimloo or Michael Crawford is the best Phantom/Erik
Overall, it’s impossible to give any sort of negativity towards everyone who works on the stage, behind the stage, and behind the scenes. The talent is unspeakably incredible, and The Phantom of the Opera musical is a pure masterpiece :)
This made me laugh out loud 😂
🤣🤣🤣
hahahaaaa
Kudos to Sierra Boggess for being able to vocalise for OVER A MINUTE!
So funny🤣🤣🤣🤣

When I was in kindergarten, I became obsessed with POTO when my parents would let me listen to their CDs (we owned nothing NSFW), and I listened to their CD of the original London cast recording. Six yer old me became immedietely obessed with it. We even have a home video from that year of me riding a roller coaster at an indoor kiddie amusement park and imitating Michael Crawford's maniacal laugh at the end of the "All I Ask of You Reprise" from the London cast recording (yes, I was a very unusual child). We also had the 2004 film, and I watched that (I kid you not) at least 3x per week. This was back in 2008, and like all children, I grew out of my six-year-old phases. Fast forward to 2011, and this masterpiece of a performance finally exist. Fast forward to March of 2020, and my family and I become aware of it's existence when our musical-loving family friends give the DVD to us to watch during the early days of the pandemic. What ensues is me thinking "Umm, where in the spacetime contimuum was THIS version floating when I was in kindergarten!?"
Them: Can you write the title song so that anyone can sing it?
Andrew Lloyd Webber: Sure! **proceeds to push it up 3 octaves**
Lol 👍
Yep i sound like a dying cat trying to sing this 😅
I am not kidding I can sing the high note here

I feel at 3:08, it's almost like a double take he does. It's like he didn't know she was going to sing, or sing that line to him and look at him. It just gives me chills everytime I watch that bit 🤷🏻♀️
THE WAG HE LOOKS AT HER OH MY GOD
I never noticed that! That’s amazing!
YES! LOVED THAT BIT
HIS EYES!!!
I got chills too! The way his eyes turn soft while looking at her.. oh my gosh
I don’t care what anyone says, Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess are the BEST Phantom and Christine to ever grace the stage👏🏻👏🏻 this is my favorite rendition of this song😭❤️
The Lord Lloyd-Webber is too competent for anyone other than Sarah Brightman to be the best Christine. They were married when it was composed, and it was written for her to sing.
@@roberthudson1959 Historically many pieces of music, be it opera or musical, were written with a specific singer in mind to perform it - but that does not mean that the first performer was always the best. Imo it's the combination of Karimloo and Boggess that elevates this performance above all others. They had such matching energy that it felt unreal.
@@roberthudson1959 Just so you know, ALW has said on the record before that Sierra is the best Christine. Lol.
Agreed. But perhaps unpopular opinion, but I think Patrick Wilson (movie adaptation) is the best Raoul.
Ramin and Sierra are right there with Michael and Sarah in my opinion. I love both duos.
The embroidery on his cloak is absolutely gorgeous. And the fadora hat along with it? Omg my heart’s fluttering
I love sierra. Her eyes are shining in a desire for singing. She is like real christine!
Now I remember why I purposefully kept away from this particular staging of Phantom after having seen it first years ago. It’s like a drug that never quits. It never leaves me. Now, I’m obsessed again and can’t stop hearing Ramin and Sierra’s voices in my head. I can’t concentrate! I haven’t accomplished anything since the last 4 times I watched and rewatched the stream. 😍
Same!
Exactly the same.
Awww so happy for u that u got to watch and rewatch that stream! I wasnt aware that it would only be available for 48 hrs. :(
This is bad for my studies lol
Be assured that you will be fine. This is nothing to be ashamed of. We understand that the obsession and struggle to break free are real. You will be okay, ok?
Angel: SING
Me: makes screeching cat sounds

This was mortally intense. I was surprised at just the physical exertion aspect of it. You don't see such strenuous exertion in video songs. 👍
Fun fact: the Christine on the bridge was played by Katie Hall (she’s also played Christine in the UK Tour and also in Les Mis as Cosette in the West End).
I couldn't figure how they got up there so quickly 🤭
I was also wondering how they got up there so fast without being out of breath 😂
She also played Cosset in the 25th anniversary of Les Miserables❤️
Is the Phantom on the bridge another actor too?
@@gabriellapeterlevitz I'm pretty sure it's Earl Carpenter - who has played the Phantom on the West End, and has played Javert in Les Mis too :D
I do enjoy them singing their strange duet once again for us
Edit: thought I'd share a true story here too, I have a candle with Ramin Karimloo printed on it, I call it Ramin Candleloo...
Okay I love this 😂
😂
Candleloo XDDD creepy but accurate
He's hot indeed, Ramin candleloo
That's adorable. 🖤🕯
You can always tell when a performer has a deep understanding of the character...Ramin definitely embodies the Phantom (his mannerisms, subtle movements, facial expressions, and how he feels and sings the songs). I really love how they ended this show too with Christine returning the ring and crying over their hands and then beginning to sing "All I Ask of You" on the stairs half-turned as if she was singing to the Phantom, unwilling to leave for an instant, before Raoul leads her out. I love this production and so glad I have it on DVD.
@peacelovechocolate hi. Can you link me where she explained it? Thanks! 💛
peacelovechocolate Yes I would love to read or watch where she explained that. That makes it even better. Amazing.
peacelovechocolate reallyyyyy? 🥰 Can you please share us the link of the video? Thank youuu! 🤗
@@yvetteverania8988 Don't know if you found it by now. But she talks about it around the 8.50 mark in the Show People with Paul Wontorek interview. It's also on youtube, really great interview overall.
the most top tier phantom and Christine. no one compares, period.
I was today years old when I found out the people on the bridge are not Ramin and Sierra and are instead body doubles. It makes sense because how can it be physically possible to go down and ride the boat in that short amount of time without them being out of breath
Wait, what lol
@Victoriess no this is for down once more
THEY DONT USE DOUBLES YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT AND THEY ANSWERED THAT QUESTION IF THEY USED THAT AND NO THEY DIDNT! Sierra said something like this, “it was really painful to run up those 3 stories and sing and then run down again” they didn’t use doubles
But they could have used a recording and they had plenty of time to go down stairs
@@Xushish she stated several times that it was for down once more. Katie Hall has said also several times that it was her during the title song as Sierra and Ramin wouldn’t have had time to get to the bridge. Also they wouldn’t have been able to use a recording because people were watching it live so it just made more sense to use doubles. Obviously in the down once more it is them but in the title song they use a clip from later during the boat to make it look like it’s them crossing the bridge.
Ramin's acting, specially when Christine starts with the "aaah", can perfectly express Erik's feelings and the strong love and adoration he had to Christine. He really saw her as an angel, as a perfect being superior to him, which explains why he would do ANYTHING for her, even crimes! She had him at her hands. Not blaming Erik, but he could love himself a bit more. I mean, even when Christine broke his heart soul, he was STILL into her, i feel so bad to this man, bro
Isnt he cute?? Aaah i hate Christine so much, poor Erik 😭
@@cloa6827 agree!!
@@cloa6827 I mean he did kidnap, abuse, lie to her and try to kill her fiancé
@@lucydennis4060 yep
@@weirdmusickid6953 lol yeah people forget christine was only really just an adult when the events happened, the phantom took advantage of her and abused her trust
Ramin and Sierra are amazing, and they never fail to amaze me with their amazing voices. Ramin's Phantom is so emotional, and he tugs on your heartstrings. Sierra has an amazing vocal range, and together, they compliment each other.
Today is the day we all didn't want to happen - The Full Show is gone.
I watch it almost everyday! I can't describe my emptiness
Yeah…that fact makes me frustrated
It is free on RUclips Archives

Apparently another one is starting again.
The best Phantom and Christine EVER. Ramin and Sierra will always have a special place in my heart (can’t get over this show these past few weeks)
Actually, I've never liked the phantom of the opera, until I watched this version, I was attracted by these two actors and actress, espeacially the actor, so powerful voice! amaziing.
great
What is the message of Sierra and Karimloo want to express in this song? Pls answer for my activity only😭
How did you not like this .?????
@@leeheedungie there's no message... it's a small adaptation of a scene on the book. I recomend you to read it, it's very cool and shows way more of the relationship between them (you end up not liking the ghost).
@@nose-bleed I didn’t like him to start lol, feels kinda like an incel
Christine at 4:36: Surprised about how high her note was
The Phantom: Overwhelmed with love
Also the Phantom at 4:37 : *Aight I'mma just aggressively bang these piano keys*
one thing i noticed was that the music the phantom uses to try to wake christine up was also the music for don juan triumphant so he was also trying to work on his opera
This is the best comment. 😂😂😂
technically it’s an organ
Lol it always cracks me up the way he plays the keys there
Can I just say that Ramin is just so bold confident, and awesome! HE IS THE BEST PHANTOM AND YOU CAN"T CHANGE MY MIND!
If a guy suddenly appears in my mirror singing like the Phantom, I'M DEFINITELY GOING WITH HIM
Be careful
@@elizabethschuyler_hamilton oh hey Christine! How's life with Raoul?
@@nothisispatrick1797 Hello! I-it's going well...
Aaron James Ortega. But you have to make sure you have a recorded E6 or can hit the note. Otherwise full steam ahead.
@@mystii8134 haha yea 😅
I love the way Ramin sings the title song, and also the music of the night. Unlike any other Phantom, he is not so puffed up, or particularly concerned, with how powerful his voice should sound, or how good he makes the Octave leap, he doesn't even make any kind of acknowledgement to the audience. He seems to be singing into the Phantom, seeing only Christine and how he feels about her and himself, and I love it.
THE PHANTOMMMMM
OF THE OPERA
IS THEREEEEEEE
INSIDE OUR MINDS 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
SiNg FoR mE
Ramin's voice give me cold chills every single time I hear this.
I was obsessed. I spent 80% of my time talking about The Phantom of the Opera with Ramin and Sierra, and in the other 20% I was hoping someone would talk about it so I could talk some more.

That’s the quote from mean girls! But she was talking about Regina obviously when it was said in the movie 😂
Gread butter and Emmy rossum are why better than them
When Carlotta says that Christine is mad, you can see her facial expression turn to that of concern. She really was concerned that Christine might be unwell. In that moment we see the softer side of Carlotta.
Yeah I agree. Now that I’m older, I’m starting to consider Carlotta one of the saner people in this play. She knows there’s foul play going on the theatre for a young choir girl to upstage her, a professional vocalist. So she walks out of a her job until she’s promised a better deal. I mean that’s self-respect right there.
@@plumppomelo True, although it is true that Carlotta was a bit rude. Christine was pretty good, and Carlotta was a little rude due to her having Christine as competition. But I do like that we got to see a more concerned side of her, cause you usually only see the rude side.
I also love the moment in the 25th anniversary when the phantom makes Carlotta croak on stage and we see Christine look compassionate and worried about Carlotta even tho she just called her a toad.
@@rosiemcgosie7376 Me too!

4:48 This is the greatest delivery of this line Ive heard. Love the way he attacks it and put growl into it as well
This anniversary show has to be the best, most perfect performance of The Phantom of The Opera ever. I've watched it soooo many times. The production value is top tier and the actor's performances are just next level.
Can we just take a second to talk about Christines facial expressions? Sierra Boggess is absolutely amazing
I can't stop rewatching her face after she hits the high note. She looks so shocked, like she can't believe she really sang like that.
I watched the show 4 times when it debuted on RUclips.
SAME

SAME
Ha! I watched the whole show 7 times 😁
Me to, 4 times!! :)
if someone sang to me like that, I’D PROBABLY SING AND HIT THE HIGH E AS WELL
I, as a sad alto, am unable to do so
@@annandres8483 same. ):
I am dying to visit the phantom!:)
Ann Andres imagine being a mezzo soprano. Being able to get so close but not making it. The utter humiliation.
Can somebody explain how tf I'm an alto and I can hit almost every ending note and even almost the last one (sometimes). Also I'm only 14 :c
God damn it, I don't understand now, maybe I'm not an alto...
Went to the show yesterday and OH MY GOD, seeing it live was absolutely amazing
I’ve been watching this unhealthy amount of times.
Dude same, At least 5 times today
You're not alone, buddy.
same😀😀
Me too 😂
Same
Gosh I just wanna rewatch this musical over and over again!
Such masterclass. Dont think anyone can top Ramin and Sierra. I am obsessed since the livestream y'all have no idea.
2:49 The way the phantom just approaches from the fog, that’s epic asf
I've honestly forgotten how wonderful this production was. I've watched the whole show 7 times during the 48 hours. Sierra and Ramin are the best duo for POTO. Their interpretation of the show and the way they express those tiny details is breathtaking. Sierra fears the Phantom but is mesmerized by him all the same, while Ramin sees Christine as a mother figure, a lover, and a voice to show the world that despite his appearance, he has something everyone should applaud. The way Ramin expresses the mixed feeling of love and loathing for betraying him in Down Once More.. Damn. It was the first time I felt that the Phantom could almost kill her for a moment. And you could clearly see that Sierra was frightened as hell, but couldn't resist his voice singing to her. POTO was always high on the list for my all-time favorite musicals, but the Sierra-Ramin cast pushed the 25th production of POTO all the way at #1.
Always, love 💯💯💯🥰

For some reason, I still find Ramin's phantom attractive. Like, the makeup is phenomenal, and I know to most he probably looks deformed and ugly, but to me he's gorgeous. It's actually a bit confusing; perhaps it's his showstopping voice.
I think no matter what Ramin could never be ugly, he's just that beautiful to start with. Also, and this is just my opinion, but since this show had to be filmed so up close to the actors faces they had to get the makeup just right on everyone. It couldn't be that typical stage makeup that is super exaggerated and harsh so people can see it from far away, it had to be subtle and with no harsh lines or colors.
Yeah! I watched it and I was like "Why am I so attracted to the phantom??" Btw watch 4:06
@@raquelbraga2800 i always die on this part, he's just so sexy ,_,
Just his voice alone is amazing but yea... he could never be ugly
I loved watching this performance this weekend. At least 20 of the views on the full show were just mine. I couldn't get enough. Gorgeous location, thrilling performances, amazing musical.
I watched it 4 times 😂 I'm kinda lost without it now
I watched it 8 times and cried every time.
@@audrey6995 I watched it three times. The first time, I was like eh, it's okay. The second time, I was like oh wait, this is really great, and the third time I was sobbing by the end.
why am i crying? i just love this so much. it’s heartbreaking i’ll never get to see a potp performance in person, but thankfully there’s things like these that will keep the memory of such an amazing show alive.

I had no idea this tune was from phantom of the opera, nor did I know any of the lyrics, yet it was still instantly and completely recognisable to me. Felt like I'd been hit in the face.
It’s because it’s from pink floyd
Same with me when I first heard this song!

@@bitchass7198 cheater husband?
Kidkracker 69 pretty sure they’re talking about Ramin even though he didn’t cheat
Chris Mann was pretty good (saw him live a couple years ago). He winked at me--sat in the front row. Nothing is as good a feeling as the flames heating the face. Also, I love the man (no pun intended)
The way he clenches his fist and says "SING!" is literally why I still live
I love Sarah Brightman and I've seen her sing this song live - but I believe Sierra is the perfect Christine. Her voice is so perfect, powerful and angelic. Ramin is so masculine and powerful
I love when he takes his hat off he makes sure his hair is slicked back. Gotta look good!
That's been there ever since Michael Crawford needed to fix the wig early on because it got mussed up.
I get that the phantom of the opera has been around since the 80s, but I swear, this is my favorite version. Both leads did a fantastic job and I really can't accept anything else since.
My dad is a huge phantom fan and when I was a kid he showed me the movie (2004) because he loved it so much. I absolutely hated it. I talked to my mom and she hated it to. I thought the phantom of the opera just wasn’t for me and I would never be a fan of theatre. (I know I was a foolish kid). Then when I was a freshman in high school I was browsing Netflix and I saw this and just decided to watch a few minutes of it. I became absolutely obsessed. I watched it every single night before I went to bed, I listened to the music on the bus, i read the sheet music during classes and learned it on violin, I memorized all the lyrics and choreography to the point that I could play it in my head if I didn’t have access to the movie or soundtrack. I fell so in love with it that I joined the theatre club just so I could express my love for theatre and POTO. I was in theatre for 3 yrs in high school and it changed my life. Then in college I wrote a creative essay about how watching POTO changed my life. I even convinced my mom and grandma to watch this version and now their fans also (not as extreme as I am though) I’ve actually totally surpassed my dad when it comes obsession with POTO. To me POTO was more than just good music. I needed a production that was believable and potent. Idk if Sierra and Ramin are the best because it’s so subjective. Everyone has unique tastes and that’s great. But I can honestly say without any doubt that this production changed my life and formed my adolescent years. I had no friends my freshman year. Falling in love with POTO gave me the edge I needed to be someone in high school. I will forever be grateful to this production because of that. Ramin and Sierra with always be my phantom and Christine
I love your story and it makes me so happy to read it but I gotta say every time I read POTO my idiot brain went Pirates Of The Opera 😭😭😭

Don’t feel bad. I’ve been a “Phan” for 30 years and was so excited when the movie came out… and I pretty much hated it. Hollywood has a tendency to take great musicals and ruin them.
This ALWASY brings me to tears. I ADORE live theater and can’t get enuf of it
Phantom: SING! SING FOR ME!
Me: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOHHHHHHHHAHHH!!!
Phantom: It’s okay... you can ummm just go to Raoul...

I have spent hours (ok, days) watching every video of Ramin I can find. His power over me certainly does grow stronger yet.
God i love Sierra's Christine so much, she legit looks scared while singing those high notes at the end. She even makes me feel guilty for hearing her achieve that level and at some point i have a morbid curiosity to know how much higher her voice can get while at the same time i wish she could stop. Such a great singer and actress
Christine’s voice is INSANE
Nothing could ever top this extraordinary performance and duet with Ramin and Sierra
0:18 no matter where i am and no matter how many times I’ve heard this, I WILL FREAK OUT AND HAVE LITERAL CHILLS. EVERYTIME.
in my own personal bias, this is my favorite cast and these two are the best to play christine and the phantom. their voices just fit so perfectly and the dynamics of it just clash so well. they have the most powerful voices in my opinion. this whole cast is definitely my favorite *chef's kiss*
