What happened to the phantom of the opera face in 2004?

It is 1911, and the contents of the Paris Opera House are being auctioned off. Present are the auctioneer, porters, and bidders. Raoul, seventy years old and in a wheelchair, buys a poster and a music box. As the auctioneer displays the Opera House chandelier, he explains that it is connected with the legend of The Phantom of the Opera. With a flash of light, the audience is flung back in time , when the Paris Opera House was at its height.

We are thrust in the middle of a rehearsal for the opera Hannibal Monsieur Lefèvre, the retiring manager of the Opera, is showing the new managers, Monsieurs Firmin and André, the great stage. As the prima donna, Carlotta, is singing, a backdrop falls to the floor, nearly killing her. The cry is raised, “It's The Phantom of the Opera!” Upset, Carlotta refuses to sing.

Meg Giry, daughter of the ballet mistress, Madame Giry, suggests her friend, Christine Daaé, take Carlotta's place.  Christine has been taking lessons from a mysterious new teacher.

Raoul, a nobleman and patron of the Opera, recognizes Christine as a childhood friend. He comes backstage after the performance to escort her to dinner, but Christine tells him she cannot go , because her teacher,  “The Angel of Music”, is very strict.

When Raoul leaves Christine's room, the Phantom appears. Chris-tine is lured into the bowels of the Opera House, where the Phantom will continue her lessons.

He leads her to his underground lair, where she sees a frightening vision of herself in a wedding gown. She faints, only to be awakened several hours later by the Phantom's music on the organ. Creeping up behind him, she rips off his mask. Horrified, he takes her back to the surface.

The Phantom has sent notes to both the managers of the Opera, as well as Raoul, Madame Giry and Carlotta, which give instructions that  Christine will have the lead in the new opera,Il Muto.

Il Muto proceeds as planned, with Carlotta in the lead, and Christine in a secondary role. As promised, disaster strikes-the stage hand,Joseph Buquet, is killed, and Carlotta's voice is stolen.

In the confusion, Raoul and Christine escape to the roof of the Opera House. There, with all of Paris around them, they pledge their love to one another, They cannot see the Phantom overhearing their vows of love . Enraged at Christine's betrayal, the Phantom causes the final disaster of the night-the mighty chandelier comes crashing to the stage floor.

The second part opens at a grand Masquerade Ball, held on the steps of the Paris Opera. No one has heard from the Phantom in six months. Christine and Raoul are engaged, but are keeping it a secret;Christine keeps her engagement ring on a chain around her neck.

Suddenly, the Phantom appears, disguised as The Red Death, and delivers to the managers a score from his opera, Don Juan Triumphant.

At first, the managers refuse to perform the strange, disturbing opera. Then, with the help of Raoul, they devise a plan to trap the Phantom, using Christine as bait. Plans for Don Juan Triumphant and the trap are made.

Christine visits the grave of her father, There on the grave stands the Phantom, beckoning her to join him, Raoul appears and takes her away.

At last, the opening night of Don Juan Triumphant arrives. The theater is surrounded by guards and police, eager to catch the Phantom. As the opera comes to its end, the Phantom takes the place of Piangi, the lead singer. He confronts Christine on stage during the performance and escapes with her once more to his labyrinth below the Opera House. In a last confrontation, the Phantom gives Christine a choice: stay with him forever, or he will kill Raoul. Her decision brings to an end the story of The Phantom of the Opera.

musical film 

The musical film is a film genre in which several songs sung by the characters are interwoven into the narrative, The songs are used to advance the plot or develop the film's characters. A subgenre of the musical film is the musical comedy, which includes a strong element of humour as well as the usual music, dancing and storyline.

The musical film was a natural development of the stage musical.Typically, the biggest difference between film and stage musicals is the use of lavish background scenery, which would be impractical in a theater. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theater; performers often treat their song and dance numbers as if there is a live audience watching. In a sense, the viewer becomes the real audience, as the performer looks directly into the camera and performs to it.

After the 1960s, filmmakers tended to avoid “musical films” in favour of using music by popular rock or pop bands as background music, in the hope of selling a soundtrack album to fans. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Films about actors, dancers or singers have been made as successful modern-style musical films, with the music as an important part of the storyline. Many animated movies also include traditional musical numbers; some of these movies later became live stage productions, such as Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.

While the 2lst Century opened with a rebirth of musical comedy onBroadway, musical film remained in a state of near-limbo. The animated  musical boom of the 1990's had petered out, and musical films once again became almost as rare as literate sitcoms.

With almost no stage musicals making it to the big screen, it was :pleasant surprise to see the unconventional off-Broadway hit Hedwigthe Angry Inch(2001)succeeds with original star John Cameror Mitchell repeating his uncompromising performance in the title role, Effective despite a limited budget, Hedwig proved that offbeat musicals could find an appreciative commercial audience.

That same year, the even stranger Moulin Rouge(2001) captured the imagination of millions of filmgoers by presenting a pedestrian love story through a wild mixture of musical sequences and eye-catching images. Director Baz Luhrmann threw together a dizzy hodgepodge of old and new pop songs, and kept the screen whirling with MTV-style quick cut editing. Nicole Kidman and Ewan MacGregor looked and sounded sexy in musical sequences that flew by at such speed that their lack of musical talents hardly mattered, ost critics and film goers overlooked the often confusing pace and turned Moulin Rouge into the first real musical screen hit of the new century, It garnered numerous awards and more importantly by Hollywood standards-earned millions at the box office.

Musical film took another turn into new territory with 8 Mil(2002), the first film to feature a hip-hop score that grew out of and played a part in the film's storyline. Dark and angry, the film delighted teen audiences that might have steered clear of a traditional musical Controversial rap artist Eminem starred in this supposedly semi-autobiographical story of an ambitious white trash rapper struggling to make his name in Detroit's all-black rap music culture.
