The Music That Transformed A Hidden Classic Into Modern Culture

When many people think of The Phantom of the Opera, they think of the popular Broadway musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. However, Webber had another vision in mind, a film adaptation of his beloved musical that he announced back in 1989. In 2004 that dream became a reality when it was released for the world to enjoy.
