#not with anna not with zerlina and not really with elvira#on a more serious note by writing this opera and then him sneaking in to play the role he compares himself to don juan/giovanni#and christine to aminta who is a figure similar to zerlina#then raoul is. basically just don ottavio if he was french#which works i mean in the mozart opera don giovanni promises zerlina that she would be rich if she goes with him#and the phantom lures christine in with the promise of a beautiful voice and a successful career#ofc the phantom is more like the romantic vision of don giovanni where it's like#'ohhhh i'm a tortured lonely soul who wants to find the ideal woman look at how sad i am'#than the version depicted in the mozart opera who is definitely evil#as for raoul. well.#he and ottavio are both usually criticized for being bland ineffectual characters who don't take other peoples' fears seriously#i can't say i necessarily agree with all that. but. they do resemble each other a lot.#operaposting#don giovanni#phantom of the opera#the phantom of the opera
