What is phantom of the opera scenery criticism?

Answer 1

The stage version both London and Broadway both received a Olivier and Tony Award for Best sets and scenery in 1986 and 1988.

The movie Phantom of the Opera 2004 was viewed as over visualized and used to distract the audience that their singers cannot act and sing accordingly to art and music critics. Some of the scenes especially the entering the Phantom's Lair, with hands coming out of the wall to hold torches seemed more for Halloween or something out of Dracula than Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera. Some critics criticized the cobwebs on every candelabra as being more Halloween than realistic. Some critics viewed the scenes all of them as immaculately gaudy.

The Ball scene was also viewed from art and music critics as being overly black and white costumes with no colour in the gowns at all. Awhile the stage version the gowns are displayed in bright beautiful colours.
