Is phantom of the opera realistic?

Answer 1

Not technically. Technically speaking, both versions - film and stage - are not classical operas, they're musicals. (And even the literature/promotional materials refer to it as such, actually-) Traditionally, operas have little or no spoken words - all of the dialogue is sung. Musicals have numbers that represent conversations, advance the plotline, or serve some other major purpose... but they also contain "normal" theatrical spoken dialogue. It's close, though. The spoken dialogue really is at a minimum... but then again, music IS the soul of the entire plot, more or less, which makes it much easier to fuse the two.

Answer 2
