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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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!!
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.
If you still need it I can try to write it down for you but I can't promise a full success because, even if she is really good, Sierra's french accent is a little hard for me to understand ^^ But I can try :)
As much as I love how cute and pleasantly surprising this is, the skeptical side of me has a hard time believing that this was spontaneous and unrehearsed.
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!

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

eleighoh the conductor became raoul which is cool!
Sierra: We didn't bring a Raoul
Conductor: *SIKE YOU THOUGHT*
Sierra: "We didn't bring a Raoul

I love how the violinists smiled after looking at their conductor singing
thats my orchestra teacher lol

The Conductor of an orchestra is the magic. This time, Sierra Boggess is the desert.
크리스틴~ 크리스티인~~♡
ME IS SHOOKT *THE CONDUCTOR SANG*
I love that the conductor is singing and conducting at the same time xD
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.
They're doing a better job recording. Some of the earlier stuff, the recording was less professionally done.

Aged like fine wine, you meant to say ;)
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
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
The look on her face when the conductor began to sing is priceless. Too cute..
Now she speaks french on me?! Like I didn't love/envy her enough already?!?!
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
"We didn't bring a Raoul"
*Conductor starts singing*
That made me laugh so hard!
Love it how his right hand keeps moving even as he sings. Lovely.
Who else couldn't help hearing "brava, brava, bravisima" at the end
Kyle Wit “Christine, Christine.... **christiiineeee**”
"We didn't bring a Raoul" part was hilarious!
She usually totes him around in her handbag 😂

It seems like even the orchestra was surprised when the conductor started singing--or they just like to hear him sing. Either way, awww.
how can anyone dislike this video??
On a more serious note, why is Christine playing as Sierra again? lol
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!

Vous avez tout à fait raison de dire que son français est excellent. Ce n'est pas si commun.
The conductor 😢❤
even the people playing the violin were like “watttt”
Two professionals...
Sierra taking the Cadenza as if she CREATED CADENZA
The Conductor singing as Raoul while conducting at the same time.
Came for Sierra. Saw the comments. Re-watched it for the conductor.
The conductor sang the original lyrics from 1986 omega
"Oh wait/Oh wow" had me chuckling.
She is honestly the best singer in the world right now.
conducter: i think it’s my time to shine i been waiting so long
Simple person here
I see Sierra, I click vid, I click like, then freeze in eternal enrapturing bliss
I love the smiles that the orchestra members give the conductor when he starts singing. Truly shows how supportive they are of each other.
I love the way those musicians smile when the conductor started to sing. 😂
Since I know Think of Me already, my mom wants me to learn it in French so if you know any website I can get it, please reply.
If you still need it I can try to write it down for you but I can't promise a full success because, even if she is really good, Sierra's french accent is a little hard for me to understand ^^ But I can try :)
This might be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
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*
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
Sierra: We didn't bring a Raoul-
The conductor, I guess: _You know, I'm actually something of a baritone myself._
Sierra Goddess. ♡ ˆ◡ˆ
The conductor also good at singing. Me: dead
Sierra, I'm your new fan !!!!!!!!!
Perfection? To me, this is beyond perfection 😂😂
This woman... God, how can she be this incredible
Sierra is really the angel of music!
dan vision and p
Watched Phantom of the Opera and discovered this gem. She is so beautiful and talented.
I was there for this performance!! Such a memorable night.. I hope she comes back to Princeton soon 💕
As much as I love how cute and pleasantly surprising this is, the skeptical side of me has a hard time believing that this was spontaneous and unrehearsed.
Of course it was planned...but it still cute...or lovely depending on your point of view
PERFECTION XXXXXXXXXX

3:22 I really thought the guy in the back was just trying to watch her finish the song but then realized he was grabbing his instrument 😅
Jacqueline Reece either way, I couldn’t blame him for getting up tho lol
A massive talent
The conductor sounded like Steve Barton...I was in awe....
I think I might actually be in love with Sierra 😍😩👏
Brilliant performance. I love that the conductor sings with her!
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!
The violinist at 3:51 - 3:57 has this sour look at Sierra HAHAHA
Im dying he is actually just slapping his foot instead of clapping 😂😂😂
The violinist is in love with the conductor and Sierra stole him away.
Thank you for pointing that out 😂😂
I stan the constructor so hard it makes my day xD
Rauol: *forgotten*
Conductor: *le sing*
Sierra: :00000
That conductor deserves an award
She combines Emmy's and Sarah's endings ....so talented
magnificent!!!
The conductor singing is awesome!!!
A legendary video!
OMG THE CONDUCTOR SINGING 🥺 how amazing
Is it weird I understand this even if I didn't know the song? I go to a French and English school... Lol
Does anybody have the French lyrics to this?
Her reaction when this guy started singing is adorable ❤️
Wish I knew about this performance so close to where I live...what a wonderful experience it must have been to hear Sierra live.
The 47 dislikes are from Carlottas accounts.
Oh, wonderful and fun surprise when the conductor sang Raoul. So delightful!
Is it only me or the violinist really did frown upon hearing Sierra speak while the orchestra was still playing lol
I love how Sierra knows different languages I am starting to learn French moi self😋
Brava...bravo......so good, beautiful sentimental, melodic humour...hilarious , sweet n surprise, touching n full of joy!🤗😍
I know no Sierra Boggess, I only know Sierra Goddess 😍
I love you Sierra. Best Christine ever.
could you just make a video about your opera singing techniques？thx
No auto tune, no post production. The pure talent of her is just baffling!
Conducting while singing Raoul's part. Woah!
Thankyou et merci!!! Love concerts where the orchestra, especially the conductor, is playful =] bravi!! J'adore!
Sierra is the goddess of happiness, I’m certain of it 😍
Sierra has a beautiful voice. Very talented lady.
Gorgeous Voice, Gorgeous woman.
Does anyone have the Raoul lyrics for this one?? This the greatest thing I have ever seen and heard in my life
