LOOK AT HIM THOUGH

me: this is a pretty big work deadline we have also me: but what if we made reaction gifs of greg mills' face

[devil-takethe-hindmost]

hi hello just crawling back in here to say that soulmates are real and the only proof i have is the way jeremy stolle and elizabeth welch look at one another

for someone who hates raoul so much he really embodies the “i love my gf” and 100% himbo golden retriever aspect of him

[opera-ghost]

Do you have opinions on Ted Keegan Piangi?? I love it so much because I think he plays Piangi a bit goofier and more ridiculous than is standard and I really like that interpretation.

yes my opinion is that i love him

Tumblr to me has kept the pure internet essence, I feel like it's not intoxicated by the modern and nonsense social media.

The internet in the actuallity it's not horrible, I have an instagram, tiktok and twitter account. But the thing here is that not everybody know how to use their phones or social media conciously, it is made that way so your brain can't focus because of all the empty stimulation that it receives.

So now I decided that I'm going to switch to a flip phone. I may be cheating a little bit, because it has internet, whatsapp and a android operative system, but the flip phone is designed on a way that you only use it for the essential.

And I also decided to create a new tumblr blog, so I can stimulate my creativity by writing here, sharing my personal experiencies.

Probably this won't get too far, but I like the experience of using the internet in a more personal way, I feel that you can enjoy more details.

Kisses, Passarino.

“Understudy Love: Elizabeth and Jeremy”

Elizabeth Welch (Princess, Christine u/s) and Jeremy Stolle (Passarino, Phantom u/s) are two of the Broadway ensemble members that have been such a joy to follow on social media. With the show closing, I felt compelled to create a piece for them as thanks - incorporating bits of their real lives to personalize it (in this case, Jeremy playing his ukulele as he did in many backstage videos, and several Prince references in Elizabeth’s costume since we are both huge fans of his)

[glassprism]

Could you plz explain the origin of the names Elissa, Star Princess, and Aminta? TY!

If you want to go solely by the musical, the names "Elissa" and "Aminta" come from the libretto:

We have reached the great choral scene in which Hannibal and his army return to save Carthage from the Roman invasion under Scipio. HANNIBAL is UBALDO PIANGI; ELISSA, Queen of Carthage (his mistress) is CARLOTTA GUIDICELLI. Laughing, DON JUAN puts on PASSARINO's clothes and goes into the curtained alcove where the bed awaits. Although we do not know it yet, the Punjab Lasso has done it's work and SIGNOR PIANGI is no more. When next we see DON JUAN, it will be the PHANTOM. Meanwhile we hear AMINTA (CHRISTINE) singing happily from the distance.

There are also historical reasons for the names; ALW and co. did not just pull those names out of a hat. Elissa is one of the names of Dido, the founder of Carthage, well known if you're into Roman mythology and the works of Virgil. It does make the premise of Phantom's Hannibal rather inaccurate, as Hannibal (also a historical figure) was not around when Elissa/Dido was, but you know, it's opera.

Aminta, meanwhile, is derived from one of the many adaptations based around the figure known as Don Giovanni or Don Juan. ALW's Don Juan Triumphant seems to take it's plot inspiration from Mozart's Don Giovanni, but the name Aminta comes from an earlier adaptation, The Trickster of Seville, where Aminta is one of several of Don Juan's conquests.

The "Star Princess" is a different matter, since it's name does not appear in the libretto or in Maria Bjornson's original design, and in Leroux's novel Christine wears something totally different. (There are very likely people who wore something like Christine did in historical costume balls but I'm not looking up the names of those.) It seems that the name is a backstage one that made it's way into the fandom, and there are likely other names for the dress too that just aren't as popular ("the Masquerade dress", "the sunset dress", etc.).

The Phantom of the Opera - 35th Anniversary Live on Broadway

Not usually one to post this sort of thing, but considering the historical significance I couldn’t not. Please enjoy.

The Phantom of the Opera - 35th Anniversary Live on Broadway January 26, 2023 - The Majestic Theatre New York City

Download

Cast: Ben Crawford (The Phantom of the Opera), Emilie Kouatchou (Christine Daaé), Paul A. Schaefer (u/s Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny), Raquel Suarez Groen (Carlotta Giudicelli), Craig Bennett (Monsieur Firmin), Nehal Joshi (Monsieur André), Maree Johnson (Madame Giry), Carlton Moe (Ubaldo Piangi), Sara Esty (Meg Giry), Carrington Vilmont (Auctioneer), Jim Weitzer (Monsieur Reyer/Hairdresser), Tug Watson (u/s Jeweler), Laird Mackintosh (Monsieur Lefèvre/Firechief), David Michael Garry (Joseph Buquet/Don Attilio), Jeremy Stolle (Passarino), Kfir (Hannibal Solo Dancer), Weston Krukow (u/s Il Muto Solo Dancer), Kanisha Marie Feliciano (Page), Chris Georgetti (Porter/Fireman), Trista Moldovan (Spanish Lady), Satomi Hoffmann (Wardrobe Mistress/Confidante), Elizabeth Welch (Hannibal Princess), Kelly Jeanne Grant (Madame Firmin), Janet Saia (u/s Innkeeper's Wife), Jason Forbach (e/c Marksman)

Notes: Recorded from the Front Mez. The person beside me was enjoying some theatre snacks throughout the show, so apologies for any disturbances as a result of this. I also missed the very beginning of the Entr'acte, but there's a few other masters out there should you want to do an insert. Includes the full speeches during curtain call (including the boos when they mention the closing), and the shout out to the swings. We missed you Greg!

Truly a magical night, with absolutely amazing energy. As others have said, Emilie's "Wishing..." might be the best I've ever seen.

And to the guy outside the theatre with the sign asking for an extra Playbill, who I graciously gave my extra to, only to then notice him tuck it into his jacket and continue to stand there gathering more of the limited edition Playbills: the Opera Ghost is not pleased...

- O.G.

I’m not sure who was on for the Jeweler or the Innkeeper’s Wife.

Notes: Program pictures included in file. This is the first audio I’ve ever recorded, and it was not recorded with the intention of ever sharing it. That being said, you will hear me laughing, cheering, and possibly crying (....crying specifically during All I Ask of You). I also had a friend with me, so you will hear her whisper to me on occasion. The sound quality is pretty good, though. This was recorded from the third row and there are a couple nice details you can catch if you’re listening closely. I am sharing this for all the Jeremy Stolle stans because he was being such a menace in the best way during this performance. It’s also just such a fun trio, I was beyond delighted to have caught them. Though it haunts my dreams that Jordan Donica’s last show would have been with Jeremy Stolle had his run not ended early.

Let me know if either of the links aren’t working! Enjoy :)

@beatingheart-bride

Well, that wouldn’t hurt, would it? To show her some of his concepts? The notion made him smile, as he got up from his seat and crossed the room, riffling around in his papers to scrounge up some of the sketches he’d done that were scattered hither and yon (to most, it likely looked chaotic, with no system to finding what he was looking for, but actually, he found it quite easy-he liked to do these sketches as a way of relaxing his brain in between composing). He studied them with a careful eye, deciding which ones she might like the best, and was about to bring the few he’d picked back to her...

…when he happened to glance back at his libretto, containing not only his music, but all of his concepts for the opera as well. He paused, momentarily lost in thought as he weighed his options-should he? He wanted it all to be a surprise, wanting her to see everything for the first time once it was all completed, true...

…but a little sneak preview wouldn’t hurt either, would it?

Not in his opinion, as he plucked one of the concepts out to bring to her, along with the more casual ones he’d done for his suits, explaining, “These are just a few I’ve made; I wanted a little variety when it came to my waistcoats-you see, one white, one grey, one black-and the cut of my coats, so I played around with patterns and fabrics and lengths; i-it was actually a very fun little experiment, studying the patrons I saw come and go, and using them as a template, you could say, finding what I liked best!”

And then there were his Don Juan sketches; just a couple, as the briefest of sneak peeks at what was to come: It was the titular Don and his manservant Passarino, both dressed in rich reds and deep blacks, a very predominant color for many of the costumes he had in mind, along with some regal golds and burnt oranges, all invoking a hellish sort of color scheme. Her character, Aminta, would at first be seen as something of an exception; her dress would a soft, rosy pink, but it and the black ruffles and trim would hint at her more daring and seductive side, a side the Don would bring out in her.
