Publisher's Synopsis
A two-volume set of Andrew Lloyd Webber stage musicals. 'The Phantom of the Opera' is a live performance from the Royal Albert Hall celebrating the 25th anniversary of the popular musical, based on the novel by Gaston Leroux. Lavishly staged, this first release of the hugely successful stage version stars Ramin Karimloo as the disfigured musical genius 'The Phantom', whose terrorising of the Paris Opera changes when he falls in love with 'Christine' (Sierra Boggess). Other cast members include Barry James as 'Monsieur Firmin', Gareth Snook as 'Monsieur André', Liz Robertson as 'Madame Giry' and Wynne Evans as 'Piangi'. 'Love Never Dies' is the filmed Australian stage production of the sequel to 'The Phantom of the Opera'. Set in 1907, the story follows the now world-famous soprano Christine Daaé (Anna O'Byrne) as she accepts an invitation from a mysterious impresario to perform at Phantasma, a new attraction at New York's Coney Island. After arriving in Manhattan, Christine, husband Raoul (Simon Gleeson) and son Gustave (Ky Baldwin) are lured to the resort, unaware that it is the Phantom (Ben Lewis) who has arranged her appearance.
