the enchantment

a scene set in black in white in 1919 paris. an auction of one of the pieces from the once grand opera populaire. a crystal chandelier that was witness to the tragedy that besieged the opera during the premiere of the phantom's own don juan triumphant! and then, a thunderous, positively brilliant aural introduction into the musicale that is the phantom of the opera.

yes, after all the reviews i've been seeing about and the interest that has been building up in me after i first heard some talented LNU peeps sing the song The Phantom of the Opera, in a roadside videoke in Ilocos Sur may i add, i finally got to have a firsthand idea of the magic that is behind this andrew lloyd webber musicale.

it was a really amazing experience, sitting there at the robinson's moviehouse with angela ranot, my classmate and groupmate in food micro, and being enticed by the score, and the scenes and the music altogether.

if i could not say much, it's because i still don't have the full use of my faculties to be able to put into words exactly how i felt when the movie ended. but this is all you need to know, go watch the movie and take part in this wonderful presentation. not the broadway musicale itself, but i'm sure it's pretty close after all the hard work of andrew lloyd webber himself and his team of talents.

you have got to see this for yourself. and next time, when i'm better, i'm gonna talk all about it.

so this is all for now. ciao! have a great day!
