Musical-Report: Das Phantom der Oper / The Phantom of the Opera (Neue Flora - Hamburg)

If you read my recent post you already know, that I bought Tickets for "Das Phantom der Oper"-Musical in Hamburg befor I traveld there.
My Tickets where for the Show on Sunday, 20.06.15 - 7 p.m. My plan was to go there in my beloved Masquerade Theatre JSK from Alice and the Pirates. Well, I did it.
I was hoping, that I could get Fotos with the Actors, but this wish wasn't fulfilled. The only thing, that my styling could achieve was the attention of the other Visitors of the Musical and a short glance of the Phantom during the Applause at the End of the Show.
Well maybe I should have ran out the Theatre and head to the Backstage-Door...

Anyway, my styling gave me the feeling, I could jump up on Stage and dance and sing with the Actors xD
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any good Pictures of my Styling that day. A friend that went with me to the Musical tried to make some Pictures, but the light inside was horrible. Good Pictures impossible ;(

Thats all I can give you:

  
The Show itself was unbelievable gorgeous. When the Prolouge began, I had to fight back tears. I love the Melody and it catched me completly when the Orchestra startet to play it. I can't make it into words....but I found two videos that will show a little bit of the Show (see below).

The Actores:

This was the Cast on Sunday 21.06.2015 - 7 p.m.:

I was really really curious about the Quality of the Actores. The Actores where all great, but the one that impressed me most was Rachel Anne Moore. She played the Diva "Carlotta Guidicelli" and was stunning! She reached the highest Notes so easily and the colour of here voice is so beautiful...I can only admire here! I wish I could sing like this...

Unfortunately I was a little bit unhappy about the Phantom. The Actor was good, no dougt of this,but for me his voice was not strong enough. Raoul was played by Nicky Wuchinger and he has a strong manly voice. That's why I thought all the time "This is wrong! This two guys have to switch the Roles."

I could not let go of this and so I went to the Teathre again on Wednesday to check the Cast of that day and deceide, if I would visit the Phantom again, just to see a other Actor as Phantom.

This is the Cast from Wednesday 24.06.2015 - 6.30 p.m.:

This Time Mathias Edenborn played the Phantom and he did well. In my Opinion his Voice fitted much better then the Voice of Rob Pitch.
Unfortunately the Cast from Wednesday was once again not perfect. Lauri Brons which played Christin on Sunday was much better then Daniela Braun. I guess I have to visit the Phantom some day again and hope for the perfect Cast =)

Here is the promotion video from Stage Entertainment:

This Video is a little longer and in german (of course), but it gives you a great impression of the Production:

I will defnetly visit the Phantom again, if I get the chance. London would be great ;-)

If you want to see the Phantom of the Opera but don't have any abbility to see it live, I recomment you the DVD/Bluray of the 25th Anniversary Concert. Sierra Borgess and Ramin Karimloo played the Main Roles. They are both amazing!! I would love to see them live on Stage.

Of course I couldn't resist to buy some Phantom-Merchandise:

The Phantom of the Opera will only be played in Hamburg until the End of September 2015. A few month later "Love Never Dies" will be showen instead. It is the prosecution of the Phantom. I already saw the DVD of the Austalian Production..well..I think it can't reach "The Phantom of the Opera" in any way...

 The Phantom of the Oper will move to Obernhaus, near Essen.
