Lipless erik is important on so many levels. I mean the alw erik is still logistically kissable, huggable, even if half his face is fucked… but lerouxs erik… how do you kiss straight up teeth? His teeth would have required extreme amounts of maintenance to prevent meth mouth like rot due to constantly being dry. And his nose hole must have been constantly crusty. When you think of the extra maintenance he would have to go through and how he must have felt doing it. That is also likely the source of the stench coming off of older erik.
He saw himself as that monster and fulfilled the prophecy of it.
And someone like christine still had it in her to potentially love someone like erik, if only he hadnt so strongly believed himself to be a monster.
The logistics of leroux eriks true visage add that necessary level of horror… and even then.. Christine found it within herself, as did nadir, to see erik as a human being struggling like the rest of us. But they both knew it didnt excuse eriks abhorrent behaviour.

oopperan-kummitus asked: favourite rachel barrell moments
It was impossible to choose just few favourite moments, so what I did was to choose gifs that show why Rachel Barrell is one of my favourite Christines. She shows wonderful character development as Christine. From this shy girl to a woman who doesn’t want to get hurt and who protects not herself but those she loves as well. She is taking none of the shit Raoul and Phantom make her go through. She is standing her ground. But she is also cute and so very in love with Raoul. And I do adore her as Christine.

Proscenium for “Phantom of the Opera”, as designed by Maria Bjørnson.
“Years ago I saw a Zeffirelli production of Don Giovanni at the Vienna opera house. The set seemed to exist beyond the frame of the stage. I understood then that a realistic set that is planted firmly in the boundary of what can be understood can have deadening effect. If you make the audience feel as if there’s something happening just offstage, they keep their eyes and ears open.
In Phantom I was quite keen on not showing our whole hand all of the time. Even within the proscenium I like to show only half of what’s going on and leave the rest in darkness.” (Maria Bjørnson, Conoisseur, 1988)
“You can’t go up and touch our props and our sets, but I think you can feel them. These solid elements give off an emotional, sensual, texture.” (Hal Prince in New York Times, January 24, 1988).
1. Cultural Center of The Philippines, Manila/World Tour (same set as Australia).
2. Japan. Not sure which theatre.
3. Det Ny Teater, Copenhagen (same set as Sweden).
4. The Majestic, New York.
5. Phantom Theatre, Las Vegas.
6. Neue Flora, Hamburg. Never liked the proscenium, but the stage is huuuge.
7. Teatro Opera, Buenos Aires (same as Canada, also used in Mexico, Brazil and Spain).
8. Her Majesty’s Theatre, West End.
