Trivia
During the Music of the Night scene, the camera pans across Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum from behind Gerard; you are able to see the shadow of the camera as it does so because of the lighting.

Filming of the final lair scene took a week to complete.

In the original stage production the chandelier is dropped at the end of the first act (just after the reprise of "All I Ask of You"), but it was decided to have it at the end of the film. This change has been incorporated into the new Vegas production of the show.

Quotes
Christine: Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned. Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind. Recall those days, look back on all those times, think of the things we'll never do - there will never be a day, when I won't think of you.

Crowd: [singing] Track down this murderer, he must be found! Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground! Too long he's preyed on us - but now we know: the Phantom of the Opera is there deep down below... 2 of 2 found this interesting Interesting? Yes No | Share this Share this: Facebook  |  Twitter  |  Permalink Hide options The Phantom: [sung] Christine Daae has returned to you, and I am anxious her career should progress. In the new production of "Il Muto", you will therefore cast Carlotta... as the Pageboy, and put Ms. Daae in the role of Countess. The role which Ms. Daae plays calls for charm and appeal. The role of the Pageboy is silent, which makes my casting- in a word... ideal.

The Phantom: [On a number of threatening and ordering letters] I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant.

Faq
Q
What does "Hand at the level of your eyes" mean"
A
The Phantom is known for strangling his victims with his famed "Punjab Lasso" (noose). By keeping your hand at the level of your eyes, you create a space between the noose and your neck, allowing you to escape and render the rope useless.
Q
What is the significance of the music box?
A
The music box was something the Phantom made for himself (suggested from the toy he had at the gypsy freak show). It played for Christine when she woke up in the Phantom's lair, and it played for the Phantom after he let Christine go.
Q
Who are the two old people in the B&W segments?
A
Raoul and Madame Giry. It's a flashforward.
