The Music of the Night


I want to reach as many people as possible with the message of music, of wonderful opera. ~Luciano Pavarotti

I have never been to see a Broadway Show before. My sister received tickets to The Phantom of the Opera for Christmas and she invited me to go. I didn't really know what to expect. I have never been to Blumenthal/Belk Theatre before and I knew nothing about The Phantom of the Opera. All I knew was that we had the best seats in the house, practically front row (right where the chandelier falls down), and that everyone who had ever seen this show had fell in love with it.



My sister and I got all dressed up to go in our little cocktail dresses and headed downtown. Downtown Charlotte is a happening place on Saturday nights. We made it downtown without getting turned around and we made it to the theatre. We both bought programs to make the night one we would never forget. We had awesome seats! I probably would have been happy anywhere but the close seats made the experience even better! One of my favorite scenes was when it looked like they were on the water. It was a very cool effect. These are not my pictures, we were not allowed to take photographs due to copyright laws. It was a great experience and I look forward to going to see more Broadway shows. Wicked is coming to Charlotte next year in May. I have always wanted to see that one.

One more thing I can check off my list, #35 See A Broadway Showa
