The story begins explaining how one of the stagehands, Joseph Bouquet, was killed by the infamous Phantom of the Opera. After a while the Prima Donna of the Opera, Carlotta, got “sick” and needed to return home to get better, this incident gave Christine Daaé the chance to become the Prima Donna as she dreamed. She made a great triumph the night she made her first performance. What no one knew was that Erik, the Opera Ghost himself, was the one taught her how to sing, acting as the Angel of Music that Christine’s dead father promised her to send her when he died.

Raul’s answer was to run away but she refused saying that she wanted to give Erik a last performance before leaving completely and braking Erik’s heart. Christine while on stage, when presenting Faust, Erik kidnapped her again and took her to the cellars of the Opera.

Erik, completely crazy, told Christine that she needed to choose between him and the Opera House (the scorpion), or Raoul and The Persian (the grasshopper). Christine out of despair chooses the scorpion and Erik out of despair, of knowing she had chosen him because of her lover; let her go with The Persian.

These are all some examples that have made it big in today’s society.

    Elements of the context of Australia in the 1960’s such as the vietnam war and class discrimination and gender roles that was present, represent the identity of Australia at that time. The Vietnam war was a significant historical event as well as having a profound effect on many Australians lives. Reference is made to the war through the Coral’s dialogue when she say’s “we won’t mention helicopters or jungle or mines” . This is clearly talking about the Vietnam War and portrays to the reader the prominent dissproval of the war by Autralian society, as by wanting to avoid the subject of the war it we see it is not something people approve of. This idea is further enforced by Rick’s dialogue. His use of sarcasm in the statement “you’ve won two years in the army” shows his comptempt for the idea of going to war. This change in Australia’s attitude towards war from what is previously seen in World War II - major support for the war - marks a change in the identity of Australia. We are now beginning to be identified as a more peacful, cultured nation, moving on from our more violent past.…

    OPRF high school is brimming with diverse cliques, groups, and clubs. But one particular cohort seems to stand out from the rest. The theatre department, overseen by Michelle Bayer, can be described as a whirlwind of activity, with 10 official productions each year. My group researched it for the education unit, but the majority of them were unfamiliar with the activity, and I felt the overall presentation was unrepresentative of what high school theatre is. It can be characterized, primarily, by an abundance of drama, both in the acting sense, and in the social sense. Theatre kids are infamous for their diva-like attitudes, and occasional entitlement. I had the opportunity to observe these behaviors up close and personal with my shows I participated in this year.…

    In a nutshell, The Rehearsal is a very interesting piece of art by Peter Milton. It attracts me during my first visit to the Currier Museum of Art due to the place the art was placed in and the amount of lights that was shown on it that goes along with the message the artist was trying to convey. Instead of putting it right in front of a door and somewhere easy to be spotted, The Rehearsal was situated at a rather secluded place in where it is put right beside the next entrance. I walked up to it and read the short description next to the art and realize how everything goes along with it. The light was shone in a way where it did no intend to lift up the mood of the piece. The low light and zigzag light is to deepen the mood just as how people…
