A friend of mine sent me the following YouTube clip on the Phantom of the Opera 25th Anniversary Grand Finale which is simply spectacular and impressive, to put in mildly, even for a non-die hard fan like me:-
"The Phantom Of The Opera Musical was first produced in London in 1986. It celebrated its 25th Anniversary in London's Royal Albert Hall in 2011. This Video is a 12 minute Grand Finale of the Anniversary Celebration, which featured the renowned Sarah Brightman, and 5 different tenors who had played in the Phantom at various times - Enjoy !

It is a pleasure to see the opera singers articulate Andrew Lloyd Webber's lyrics with such poise and conviction so as to convey that they mean every words they sing. That's mastery of a high order.
