Watch the official rock music video for “The Phantom of the Opera” by The Phantom of the Opera.
Introduction
The Phantom of the Opera Rock Music Video is a computer-animated music video produced by U-Jin and directed by Kim Seung-ho. The video is an adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s novel The Phantom of the Opera, with the story being told through the perspective of the titular character. It was released on August 22, 2006, and has been viewed over five million times on YouTube.
The video begins with the Phantom (voiced by U-Jin) narrating his origins; born with a deformity that caused him to be shunned by society, he found refuge in the Paris Opera House, where he fell in love with Christine Daaé (voiced by Lim Ji-yeon), a young singer. When Christine rejects him in favor of Raoul de Chagny (voiced by Park Jeong-min), the Phantom takes his revenge by unleashing his powers and trapped them inside the opera house.
The music for the video was composed by U-Jin and Kim Seung-ho, and is a mix of rock and symphonic elements. The phantom’s vocals were provided by Jeong Jae-hun, while Christine was sung by Lim Ji-yeon.
The video was generally well-received, with praise going to its animation and visuals. Some reviewers criticized its length, however, as well as its departure from the original source material.
The making of the video
The video for The Phantom of the Opera was a truly collaborative effort between the band and the director. The band supplied the director with a basic outline of what they wanted the video to be, and the director took it from there.
The location
The popular rock music video for “The Phantom of the Opera” by the band Nightwish was filmed in various locations around Finland. The first location was in Helsinki at the Finlandia Hall. This is where most of the shots of the band performing were filmed. The second location was in Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland. This is where the shots of the band walking through the snow-covered forest were filmed. The third and final location was in Turku, Finland. This is where the shots of the band on top of a cliff overlooking the sea were filmed.
The set
The set was made to look like an opera house, and it was very realistic. There were props everywhere, and the set designers had done a great job. The filming took place at night, and it was very dark. The only light came from the stage, and it made the set look very eerie.
The cast
Eva Noblezada, Ramin Karimloo, and Laird Macintosh
The three members of the cast worked together extensively to create the characters and choreography for the music video. Eva Noblezada, who plays Christine Daaé, worked with Ramin Karimloo, who plays the Phantom, to create a unique and haunting love story. Laird Macintosh, who plays Raoul de Chagny, brought a dynamic energy to the video that helped punctuate the emotional power of the song.

The opening
The video itself is dark and shot in what looks like a disused factory or warehouse. Light filters in through cracks in the walls and there is a feeling of suspense and unease from the beginning. The camera pans around a group of people who are all staring at something off-screen. We then see a close-up of a girl with long black hair (the phantom) who is also looking towards whatever it is that has everyone’s attention.
