It’s such a cornerstone of theater, the music is so damn good. Somehow I expected it to be from like the 1800s
You can tell when the synth comes in
Was it seriously? I thought it was like, from the 1700s (I know next to nothing about Phantom of the Opera).
yep, first stage play was 1985. The plot is based on a book from 1910, but the music was all original composition. Same guy who did Cats
Toccata and Fugue in D minor is an old song that this is a cover of, so I guess there’s that. I think it also seems old because “Phantom of the Opera” is such an old timey sounding name. I guess if it’s based on an old book, maybe they were referencing stuff that was even earlier…
