141 The Phantom of the Opera Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Phantom

The Phantom sings this to Christine after the performance of "Hannibal" when she is in her dressing room. The Phantom is appearing as Christine's angel of music in the mirror of her dressing room at the Opera House. He is singing this about Raoul because he feels Raoul is taking credit and glory in her talent after the performance. This is after Raoul insists on taking her to supper against her better wishes because "the angel is strict."

Answer: Raoul

Raoul is seen at the legs only at first, getting into a wheel chair. Then when you see the auctioneer, that's when we first see Raoul, who then makes eye contact with Meg Giry. They both bid for the music box which reminds them of the Phantom.

Answer: Charm and appeal

The Phantom wrote a note to Mme Giry to give to the managers. He instructed that the role of Countess was to be given to Christine as the role called for 'charm and appeal'. Carlotta was to be given the role of the pageboy as that role was silent, as the Phantom hated her singing.

Answer: They were taking over the opera from M. Lefevre.

Andre and Firmin had already bought the Opera Populaire and Lefevre was introducing them to the company. Apparently, the stress brought on by catering to the opera ghost's demands was too great for Lefevre, so he decided to go to Australia and sell the opera to Andre and Firmin.

Answer: running down a spiral staircase and chalking the toes of their ballet shoes

In a scene that is wonderfully, visually rich, we listen to the Overture for the movie while watching all the preparations that are being made for the rehearsal of the opera 'Hannibal'. Christine and Meg can be spotted hurrying down the spiral staircase, and stepping into a box of chalk found at the bottom of the stairs. They quickly make sure that their shoes are coated, before joining the other dancers.

Answer: manacles

The ballerinas are chained together, as slave girls. Some of the dance moves involve a creative use of these fake chains. Andre, as the brand new co-owner of the Opera Populaire, is seen jauntily swinging one of these fake manacles around his neck, as if it were a scarf. The look on his face when he does this is quite amusing.

Answer: she said

At the auction in the beginning of the movie Raoul buys an old music box which used to belong to the Phantom. Christine must have described it to him before she died.

Answer: Andre and Firmin

According to Gaston Leroux, the term O.G. was coined by the Opera House dwellers, in that when something odd would happen, many would blame "The Opera Ghost".

Answer: Emmy Rossum

Emmy Rossum has also appeared in "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Mystic River".

Answer: After "Point of No Return"

In the musical, this happens at the end of Act I which is, "All I Ask of You Reprise" where the Phantom sings about Christine's betrayal. However, the chandelier crash was deemed a climax for the movie and was moved later, after Christine removes the Phantom's mask.

Answer: Chapel

In the musical, this scene takes place in Christine's dressing room. But for the movie, they built a chapel set that would be used for "Angel of Music" and "Twisted Every Way". The chapel is where Christine would go to light a candle in memory of her father.

Answer: Lot 663

Lot 664 is a wooden pistol and three human skulls. Lot 665 is the music box with the figure of the monkey on top. Lot 666 is the chandelier, in pieces. (Definitely no symbolism there, right?)

Answer: Paris

It takes place in the Paris Opera House. Gaston Leroux, the author of the novel "The Phantom of the Opera", wrote a report about the actual Paris Opera House in a way that made the audience almost believe that it really was the retelling of a true story. Also, the first scene of the movie starts off as a black and white photograph of the Paris Opera House and it tells you that the setting is Paris.

Answer: Erique Claudin

Claudin's first name of Erique is only said a few times in this film. You must listen carefully in order to catch it.

Answer: Raoul

Raoul sings this in the prologue when he buys the Phantom's music box. He is singing to the box, remembering Christine, with a broken heart.
I want the music box so badly.

Answer: During the credits

The Phantom learns to be very lonely as he has been living by himself in the opera house for most of his life. Minnie Driver (the women who played Carlotta) sings this song.

Answer: strange

Gerard Butler played the Phantom in the 2004 version of the movie. Gerard Butler is from Scotland!

Answer: There was no understudy for Carlotta.

It was implied that Carlotta was such a big star, and such a big diva, that she wouldn't allow an understudy. So, after she stormed off in a fit of rage (taking Piangi with her), that left the managers with no one who knew the part of Elissa. Or so they thought!

Answer: driving his carriage through the streets of Paris

In the same opening number, Raoul can be seen standing, cracking the whip and whistling to his horses, as he makes his way to the opera house. Here he is greeted by Andre and Firmin, and then introduced to all as the new patron (along with his family). He does walk right past Christine who remarks that he wouldn't recognize her anymore.

Answer: "Flowers fade/ The fruits of summer fade"

During the rehearsal for a new production of Chalumeau's "Hannibal", Carlotta, who plays the lead Elissa, decides to quit. Christine is therefore asked to sing on Carlotta's behalf and step into the part of Elissa - a part which includes the beautiful aria "Think of Me". It is when Christine sings this song that Raoul, her childhood friend, recognizes her.

Answer: Raoul and Madame Giry

Raoul is sitting in the wheelchair, later he takes the monkey to Christine's gravesite.

Answer: 7

During the rehearsal for "Hannibal," Mme Giry tells Andre and Firmin about Christine and mentions that she came to the opera at age 7. Christine has apparently lived in the dormitories since that time.

Answer: Poodle

She originally had a white Poodle that had pink ribbons in its hair. During "Prima Donna", the managers give her a black one. During the rehearsal for "Hannibal", Carlotta has one of her maids holding the dog onstage nearby.

Answer: Raoul

Raoul sings about the music box at the auction, "A collector's piece indeed, every detail exactly as she said. Will you still play when all the rest of us are dead?"
