It’s confirmed! whether or not CCA is watching Phantom of the Opera, i will still watch it. Actually, i do not even know what is the storyline about. But today Channel 5 broadcasted the movie-POTO.

I love the music and the singing.. I’m really impressed by how the female lead and phantom sang. I cant wait for the musical!! It will be better than Forbidden City, i suppose..

For those who didnt manage to watch it, here is a short brief of the whole story.

The book or story line is a simplified variation of the original horror story. Christine is an upcoming singer at the opera. She dreams of appearing on center stage, the eyes of the audience glued to her as she sings her heart out. To this end she has been taking clandestine lessons from the Phantom , once an incredible singer who was tragically disfigured and now lurks in the rafters and dank basements and cave beneath the opera house. Christine takes her voice lessons from an unseen Phantom, a disembodied voice of grace and wisdom. Under the impression that he is an angel sent by her father, this unorthodox training is acceptable to the naïve young girl. Although the Phantom is deeply in love with the young Christine her heart belongs to a childhood friend and patron of the opera Raoul . The Phantom hides both his feelings and his face behind a stylized mask. Christine’s ambitions are constantly thwarted by the diva of the opera, La Carlotta (Minnie Driver), a brass and over the top signer whose talent is only exceeded by her massive ego. When the diva finds offense at some minor point she walks out right before a performance, the producers have no choice but to turn to the beautiful young understudy, Christine. Much to the chagrin of Carlotta the perform Christine gives is met by joyous critical acclaim.
