How fast does the chandelier fall in Phantom of the Opera?

Answer 1

There is but it's not very long. It's directly after the play Don Juan, when the Phantom and Christine sing and she reveals his face to the audience and he cuts a rope that connects to the ropes he disconnected earlier in the film. The chandelier more of slides and falls rather than falls directly down.

Answer 2

In the stage musical of Andrew Lloyd Webber's it had something to do with the "disaster beyond your imagination" that he had promised if the managers and La Carlotta didn't follow his orders (and they didn't.)What it was exactly Carlotta was not to be in the lead role but Christine, Carlotta demanded the role and was seen on stage in the lead role, this infuriate the Phantom for their disobedience.As for the movies, it depends on which movie version we talk about. In the 2004 film adaptation of the Lloyd Webber's musical, they crash the chandelier at a completely different point and situation, in which the Phantom was likely angry at every single one at the Opera house and because he's insane he didn't care if even innocent people died. It didn't seem like he had intended to crash the chandelier all along in that movie but only after Christine took his mask off. So perhaps it was also a desperate effort to make sure they'd escape, by causing chaos.

Answer 3

if you are talking about the musical, then it falls quite quickly, but in a swinging motion so that when it is lifted back up it swings above the audience.

I saw the musical in may and I thought the chandelier was great.

Answer 4

After Christine reveals the Phantom at the opera, he cuts the rope holding up the chandelier to escape taking Christine with him.

Answer 5

During the Don Juan act, the phantom replaces another actor, him and Christine go up some steps singing. Then after she takes his mask off he slashes a rope to cause the chandelier to fall.
