See?! See that?! See?! Wow! What the - okay, I'll calm down first.
PotO is basically the biggest obsession I've ever had. Had it since I was a child...so...does anybody know anything about this? Normally I wouldn't believe it, but if it's Barcelona, and what with PotO having came out 1986 (not too far from Barcelona), it might not be impossible...
I know it says nobody has heard it, but some of the super-collector types might know of it.
I've heard that Freddie also wanted to play in an opera around 1974/1975. I've heard demos of his auditions exist somewhere. Could be just a rumour or a stupid joke.
Wasn't Freddie down to play the role in a then proposed film version of PotO in the early 90s?
I clearly remember Andrew Lloyd Webber saying this just after Freddie's death.

I don't care about the truth, all I must say - and here I'm speaking for my mother and myself - Freddie would have been a better phantom than that Gerard Butler (spelling ?) guy from the latest movie. He could have even been and ACTUAL phantom. There is no justice.
The Phantom of the Opera is more of a musical than an opera, isn't it ? The only part that says "opera" to me is the "Il Muto" part. I know most people in my school call it an opera... but for some reason I don't think so.
Well, Gerard Butler bloody well SUCKED. I'm glad some people agree...Michael Crawford is much better. I don't even think Freddie would have been able to match his Phantom skills...
And hmm, thanks for the information, and linking of said information! Now I really want to hear those tapes, but I suppose that's practically impossible... *sighs*
I think if POTO or music of the night was any good and fininshed it would have been released already, but it would be great if cabelle was also singing on it.
That website is full of mistakes anyway.
For example. It says that the Garden Lodge Improvisations has 3 songs and is just about 10 minutes long. While my version is much longer
