Minni Driver Phantom Of The Opera
Minnie Driver Carlotta Reflecting Mirrors Ahh.. I absolutely loved Minnie as Carlotta.. I thought she was absolutely fantastic.
The doll in the Phantom s lair that is supposed to resemble Emmy Rossum is not actually a wax mold. It is Emmy Rossum. The production produced a mask of her face to use on the mannequin but when they put in the fake eyes it didn t look like her. She suggested to stand in as the mannequin instead. This was done by her being made up like a doll with waxy makeup on, and her standing very, very still.
The instruction to Keep your hand at the level of your eyes is another reference from the book, in which the Phantom was adept at disposing of victims with the Punjab lasso. Keeping one s hand at the level of one s eyes kept the Punjab lasso away from the victim s neck and was the only defense.
In the transition where Christine is contemplating and moving towards engaging the coach to take her to her father s grave, the melody playing is Beneath a Moonless Sky, a duet between Christine and the Phantom from Andrew Lloyd Weber s sequel to Phantom entitled Love Never Dies.
Michael Jackson wanted to play The Phantom himself in the film version. Jackson had a strong interest in musical theater and was a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber s stage adaptation when he saw it open in New York in 1988, in which Jackson saw it several times since and talked to Lloyd Webber backstage. However, Lloyd Webber has said that although Jackson wanted to play the film version of The Phantom, Lloyd Webber felt that it was too early for Phantom to become a film because the stage musical had just opened at that time.
In Christine s debut performance as the star of the Opera House, she wears a costume that is an exact replica of the outfit Empress Elizabeth aka Sisi of Austria wears in her most famous portrait. This includes the white diaphanous dress with full, billowing skirt, as well as the diamond star-bursts in her hair and earrings. This is not surprising when one considers the fact that Andrew Lloyd Webber is one of the most important collectors of artwork from this period, and would be familiar with the portrait in question.
Since the crew didn t want to have to actually build an Opera House, the exterior is actually a doll house type model that was filmed in a studio. In All I Ask of You Reprise, when the Phantom is on the balcony, he is not really there. He was edited in. The footprints in the snow were made on the model where they filmed the camera zooming out and then put in the Phantom.
Andrew Lloyd Webber s 1986 musical Phantom of the Opera was inspired by Ken Hill s 1976 musical version of the same name. Hill s version is credited as the first Phantom musical and was a success. Sarah Brightman, who later created the role of Christine in Webber s version, was famously asked to play the role of Christine in Hill s 1984 revival but turned down the offer. Webber, who was then married to Brightman, had actually seen Hill s show and asked Hill to collaborate Phantom on a larger scale for the Victoria Palace Theatre in the West End; eventually Webber pursued the musical without Hill. Hill and Webber had previously worked together on a revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.

Carlotta is a fictional character from Gaston Leroux s 1909 novel The Phantom of the Opera.
In the novel, she is a minor character hailing from Spain. The first time that she is mentioned in the novel is during the chapter The New Marguerite, where it is revealed that she could not perform at the ceremony for the former managers. Later in the novel, she is threatened by Erik that if she performs at the Opera House a great misfortune will strike. She shrugs the warning off and performs anyway. When she does however croaking noises come out of her mouth and the chandelier comes crashing down. Ashamed, she hides from the public view for a few weeks, before making a return to the opera house.
In the 1943 film version, she is Mme. Biancarolli who has been drugged by the Phantom and murdered along with her maid when she tries to force him to take off his prop mask.
In Andrew Lloyd Webber s production, Carlotta last name Giudicelli is from Italy and is one of the major singing parts. The opera company s prima donna, she despises Christine Daaé and sees the younger woman as a threat to her job and Phantom s courtesan, when Christine achieves prominence due to the Phantom s dirty tricks. Carlotta and tenor Ubaldo Piangi are lovers; she often turns to him for consolation when things go wrong, and she breaks down crying when his murdered body is discovered onstage. The film reveals that she likes poodles.
In the Lloyd Webber-Joel Schumacher 2004 film version, she was played by Minnie Driver. 1 Due to Driver s lack of experience in opera, her singing voice was dubbed by opera singer Margaret Preece, although she lent her actual voice to the song Learn to Be Lonely during the end credits.
In Nicholas Meyer s novel The Canary Trainer, the characters of Carlotta and La Sorelli are combined into one, despite being mentioned as separate characters in the original novel. In Kim Newman s short story Angels of Music from the Tales of the Shadowmen anthology series, Carlotta is implied to be the ancestor of Bianca Castafiore from The Adventures of Tintin comic series.
