The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall

The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall is a wonderful musical to own and in HD to boot. The singing is tremendous as mentioned in several other reviews. However, as everyone is entitled to their opinion, I am also very fond of the Phantom movie from 2004. I think Emmy Rossum had a beautiful voice and played a sweet and innocent Christine in the film and Gerard Butler might not be Michael Crawford when it comes to the voice, but he played a dark and menacing phantom who hit the nail on the head in the various dramatic scenes he was required to play. I think there is room for both the film and the newly released HD Blu-ray. The camera angles caught this play so well and the lighting is so good. The end was icing on the cake, with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman joining Andrew Lloyd Webber on stage. If you are wondering if you should buy this, take the plunge. You will be glad you did.
