Raoul de Chagny, the handsome young viscount who was Christine’s childhood sweetheart, would be played by Mario Lanza.
Christine Daae, the young soprano who becomes the Phantom’s protégé, would be played by Kathryn Grayson. Since this will be a very detailed breening project, this article will also qualify as this week’s Breening Thursday article.Įrik, the masked Phantom who lives beneath the opera, would be played by Howard Keel.
Let’s begin by discussing the creative team and cast, and then we will proceed to discuss adaptions and necessary changes. Extensive breening will be necessary, since this is far from a Code musical. I will discuss changes which would be made for the adaption, casting, and treatment. I am going to describe how Andrew Lloyd Webber’s famous musical could have been an MGM film musical from 1949. I decided to write about my own proposed Code film of a play about Phantom of the Opera. She is imaging a Code version of Yeston and Kopit’s musical Phantom with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy.
Then, I took an idea from Rebekah’s topic for this blogathon. I had already breened the 1925 film, and I didn’t want to breen the 1962 British movie. Finally, last week, it occurred to me that the most interesting article I could write would be a Code film version of an un-Code version of this story. I wanted to write an apropos article which would be an interesting addition to the site at large as well as to the blogathon. When Rebekah planned her Phantom of the Opera Blogathon, I tried to think of a good topic.
