The piece is Don Juan Triumphant by Erik Destler.
The movie involves a modern-day opera singer, Christine (Jill Schoelen) who sings a rare composition for an audition. Also, Robert Englund is a classically trained actor, so there’s that. It was the eighties and slashers were the craze. It’s not so odd knowing the intention of this version was to be a slasher in line with all of the others of the time. On the surface, Freddy Krueger may seem an odd choice for the Phantom. This isn’t some Merchant-Ivory deal, or even the Claude Rains Phantom. If you’re familiar with his name, his cousin Yoram Globus, Cannon Films, or 21st Century Film Corporation, you know kind of what to expect. The unmasking scene is a testament to Chaney’s, and the film’s, power.īut have you seen Robert Englund’s turn as Erik, the Phantom? There’s a good chance you haven’t, unless you’re a die hard horror fan, or a major Englund fan.įirst, a word of warning: Menahem Golan was a producer of 1989’s The Phantom of the Opera. Chaney was a make-up genius and a phenomenal actor. Lon Chaney’s performance as the Phantom in 1925’s silent film remains unrivaled, both on screen and on the stage. There have a been a lot of Phantom productions over the years, a lot of people have slipped behind the organ to grind out the music of the night. The Pantages is now known as the Ed Mirvish Theatre. In the late summer of 2000, I attended a performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera at the Pantages Theatre in Toronto. – “It’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll (But I Like It),” The Rolling Stones
