The hugely popular musical Phantom of the Opera is running at the Hippodrome Performing Arts Center from April 8 through May 2 this year! There are a total of 35 performances of Phantom at the Hippodrome! Ticket King has tickets as low as $75 each in the Balcony section of the Hippodrome.If you have not seen Phantom yet, you should definitely purchase your Hippodrome Phantom of the Opera tickets now, because it is a must see musical! Phantom is so widely known, and is now the longest running Broadway show, surpassing Cats! Phantom the musical opened in 1986 in London's West End and the first U.S. Tour started in 1991.
The main plot for Phantom focuses on a girl, Christine, who becomes the obsession of a musical genius known as "The Phantom of the
Opera" in 1881. The Phantom helps the girl hone her voice so she can get the lead parts at the opera house. The Phantom is jealous when Christine's childhood friend arrives and Christine starts to date her friend. The Phantom demands that the opera managers use his musicals and that Christine is the lead female, and keep a box open for him. When all his demands are not met, the Phantom gets really upset and starts causing trouble. Obviously there is a lot more to the plot, but I don't want to ruin it for those that have not seen it yet!Phantom of the Opera is such an amazing musical, with an equally amazing soundtrack! I have seen a couple different versions of the movie, but have yet to see the musical live. My husband was lucky enough to see Phantom of the Opera in New York a few years ago and he absolutely loves it! He wants to see Phantom live again! We missed it in Minneapolis a few months ago, it wasn't a very long run, and we happen
ed to be out of town for a majority of the days that Phantom was here in Minneapolis. I will NOT be missing Phantom when it comes back to Minneapolis again!If you've seen Phantom of the Opera, let me know where you saw it, and what you thought of the musical!
One of my favorite songs from the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack is "The Music of the Night." Here are "The Music of the Night" lyrics:
I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne ...
to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music ...
music...
You have come here, for one purpose, and one alone ...
I first heard you sing,
I have needed you with me, to serve me, to sing, for my music ...
my music ...
Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation ...
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination ...
Silently the senses abandon thier defences ...
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour ...
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender ...
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night ...
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before ...
Softly, deftly, music shall surround you ...
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you ...
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul
Take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me ...
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in to the power of
the music that I write - the power of the music of the night ...
You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night ...
