It seemed truer to what the opera would have looked like at the time, but as the architectural details (of the Paris Opera House) were not really quite technically correct, there were some missed opportunities. Mechanically, this may be true, but the general feel of the set design, however, seemed to have gone backward in time- in fact, it looked more like a set design of an older era- in terms of aesthetics. I really enjoyed the performance, although I had mixed feelings about some of the changes (as can be expected).īecause this was a new production, I was expecting incorporation of a lot of technology, more intricate sets, brighter lighting, more color….something that reflects that it designed in the 2000s and not the 1990s. Of course, it is not a completely fair comparison, since the anniversary performance was so much larger in scale. I was really looking forward to this new production, especially how it would be compared to the 25th Anniversary performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London. I went to the premiere of the new production of The Phantom of the Opera, which started its US tour in Chicago.
