The Phantom of the Opera
A day is significant enough to leave a mark in our heart, a day with many meanings a day that hides in its own, light and darkness, different kind of stories, stories of love and hate, stories of passion and fear. This kind of a day was the day i watched the live play of The Phantom of the Opera in London. 26th of November. Coincidence i believe not….in that same morning i was passing outside of the theatre and with no second thought i went and purchased my ticket. I was aware of the story and even the famous song and lyrics and i thought it would be the best choice of a play.
26th November…Eric and Christine
The day begun with many hidden thoughts and emotions, hidden for they dare not to be revealed in real life, hidden for they are so well kept in little treasure boxes in my heart.
Am not sure how i dare to confess, how i dare to admit that these treasure boxes were kept right open during the play of the Phantom of the Opera. Little sensitive thoughts jumped out of the boxes and followed the magical sounds of the play, hypnotized by the voices of two desperate lovers.
Hypnotized by a man who covered his scars behind the mask and by a woman who searched true love and its eternity.
They were held prisoners in their own lives. They traumatised their souls by denying their devotion to each other. Silly excuses like the Masquerade were enough to hide their true feelings.
Tears coming right out from my chest, oh dear God! The bittersweet love of Eric and Christine was slowly and magically revealed in front of the eyes of the audience. Slowly and magically revealed in front of the eyes of my soul, the journey begins….
For the two lovers the never ending journey just begun. The never ending straggle with desire, love passion and rules of real life.
Continuously they reminded us how difficult is true love and what a rare experience is to fall in love with someone you know he or she will never be yours.
They both made me wonder if true love is just an illusion, if is just a phantom who rules our lives only at its own convenience. Do we perhaps, end up slaves of our own vanity?
But No! I refuse to throw away from my heart these little boxes. They are decorated with little diamonds and my thoughts and feelings lay down in the boxes on a layer of pearls. Well kept and protected.
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you’ll live as you’ve never lived before
She is gone, he finally lets her go back to real life, letting us believe that for a second, am afraid not…
He is there, loving her, wanting her wishing her all the joy and wishing he had her back.
Close your eyes start a journey through a strange new world,
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before,
Close your eyes and let music set you free,
Only then can you belong to me..
The story continues because… Love never dies…
xx
