How old is Christine at the start of the film Phantom of the Opera?
This depends on whether you are asking about Emmy Rossum as an actress or as Christine herself. As an actress she was on 17 during filming of Phantom of the Opera. However, In the Lofficier translation of the novel, it is stated that Christine is 15 years old. This is a mistranslation of a passage which says her heart was "as pure as that of a 15 year old". The evidence of Christine's childhood friendship with Raoul, and her studies at the Paris Conservatory, put her age at 20.
What are the differences between the 1943 phantom of the opera and the 2004?
The Book is a lot different then the Movie. The movie and the play have scenes switched around from the novel, and the novel has different names for some of the characters. The movie also has different relationships with the characters. For instance, Madame Giry is not the caretaker of Christine Daae in the novel, but a box keeper for the Phantom.
There are many differences, but both are very good. :)

How is the play of the 'Phantom of the Opera' different from the novel by Gaston Leroux?
The play obviously adds alot more detail and scenes that were not even in the book and makes the phantom a whole lot nicer that he is in the book
Maybird-Zero: There are MANY differences between the ALW play/musical and the book. And a MASSIVE amount of differences between the ALW 2004 movie and the book. But at least in the play, it's closer to the book in a slightly alternative way.
Anyway, here are some examples (e-mail me if you have any more questions regarding the versions):
- In the book, the Phantom's name is Erik, but in the play, he doesn't have a name-- he's only referred to as the Phantom or the Opera ghost (O.G.).
- Instead of being Christine's teacher for many years in the play, the Phantom/Erik has only been teaching her for 3 months in the book.
- In the play, it is focused more on romance, but in the book, it's mostly tragedy and horror. And of course, mystery is also a big genre for both productions. It pretty hard to identify what the book really is. In Behind the Mask Documentary for the musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber commented that he couldn't really decide what genre the book truly is. The book sounds a lot like a police report if you ask me. It gives lots of references and is mostlytold from Leroux's POV, but there are other POVs as well. Nevertheless, it's still a classic and one of my most favorite versions because of the originality.
- In the book, the Phantom/Erik is described as having a full black mask, parchment yellow skin, full deformity, no nose, has a skeletal frame (meaning he's skinny), and golden eyes that can be only seen in the dark. It is also implied that he is a tenor. You can kinda get an idea what he actually looks like from the original French cover of the book and the 1925 silent film starring Lon Chaney as the Phantom/Erik.

- The Phantom/Erik talks in third person in the book.
- In the book, Christine is blond and has blue eyes, like Little Lotte does from the story her father told her, while in the play, Christine is a brunnette.
- In the book, Christine is Carlotta's understudy. She was never in the Corps de Ballet with Meg, so she was never really friends with her. And that pretty much meant that the Phantom/Erik was the only person she could really interact with at the Opera.
- Instead of Monsieur Lefevre in the play, the book had Messieurs Debienne and Poligny as the retiring managers. Lefevre is just a combination of the two in one person. The reason why I think Webber did that was because there would be too many characters.
- Instead of Monsieur Gilles Andre in the play, the book had Monsieur Armand Moncharmin. Webber just changed his name for the play, really. It's still the same person though. At least he didn't change Richard Firmin's name.
- In the book, Madame Valerius is Christine's foster mother, not Madame Giry like in the play.
- In the book, Don Juan Triumphant was never performed on stage. The Phantom/Erik made it clear about that to Christine when they were in his house by the lake.
- In the book, Raoul's older brother Philippe de Chagny, the count, makes an appearance.
- In the book, The Persian/daroga makes an appearance. He is the Phantom/Erik's old friend.
- In the book, they tell you about the other members of the management, such as Messieurs Lachenel and Remy. Lachenel is the stable manager and Remy is the secretary.
- The horse that the Phantom/Erik has is called Cesar and is originally white. He stole Cesar from the stable. In the ALW versions, Cesar is black.
- And finally, in the book, the Phantom/Erik has manyaliases: the Phantom of the Opera, the Opera ghost (O.G.), the Red Death, Le Mort Vivant (the Living Corpse), the Trapdoor Lover, the King of Stranglers, the Prince of Conjurers, the Angel of Music, the Voice, Her "good genius", and the Monster.

What is the saddest part of phantom of opera?
There are sad people in this movie, but I will name a few:
Christine - she gets depressed as she mourn her long-passed father when she visits the Cemetery
Erik - the Phantom's true name (in the original book by Gaston Leroux) he is sad as how the world looks down upon him and nobody will give him a chance at love because his deformed face
Raul is sad at the beginning and the end when you discover that Christine 's Phantom had visited her grave, he sees the rose his signature that he had been there. He wonders if the Phantom never stopped being a part of her life. He bought the monkey music box at the auction at her dying request to place it on her grave, he does not know the monkey music box belongs to the Phantom.
Who was the conductor of the phantom of the opera?

What are an event that is shocking in the Phantom of the Opera?
I do not believe the movie or the musical is fit for anyone under the age six. The unmasking of the phantom, The Death of Buquet, the sword fight which is in the movie, the use of magic which is in stage play, of course the hanging of Raoul which would be upsetting to any child of young age, be beware and be caution.

What country did phantom of the opera originate?
Phantom of the Opera was written by Gaston Leroux, a Frenchman. The setting is in Paris, France. Erik is born in a small town outside of Rouen, France. This is stated in the book in one of the chapters. Erik is a character that Gaston created out of his imagination. It is speculated by many literature professors that Erik could be based on many homeless people who lived underground in the Garnier Paris Opera House during time Gaston was a reporter for the newspaper Le Matin. Even with this fact, no evidence so far has been founded that Erik is based on an actual man.
Where to find free lyrics to songs?
Well, when i look for lyrics, I go to google.com and usually i type in the word lyrics, then the song name and it helps to include the artist just in case there are lots of songs with that name. (ex. Lyrics Bodies Drowning Pool) and if you're like me and want to find the lyrics to some random song you heard on the radio the other day and you don't remember the name just type in the little tidbit that you heard and know for sure then you get a whole bunch of sites with the lyrics, and you pick the one that looks familiar. (I usually check things like that by typing in the name of one i think it might be into youtube and listening to it.
