The opening night mishaps almost felt deliberate: the doors did not open until the announced start time of 7:30, causing a massive queue through the entire Keble O’Reilly Theatre, up the stairs, and out into the rain, making it very clear to everyone attending just how packed this night was going to be.

The hype had taken Oxford by force, making the show more hotly anticipated than most other events this year. Later, at the end of the graveyard scene and after the song "Wishing You were Somehow Here Again," the Phantom attempts to lure Christine to him by reprising "Angel of Music," but is interrupted by Raoul, who sings "Angel of darkness, cease this torment!" and departs with a torn Christine.Twenty seconds was all it took for the Sunday matinee of The Phantom of the Opera to sell out, after Milk & Two Sugars Productions announced this last-minute addition to their playbill. "Little Lotte" is sung immediately after this. Prior to this, however, Christine confides to her ballerina friend Meg Giry that an Angel of Music visits her, and they sing a duet of "Angel of Music" as well. The song ends with the Phantom singing "I am your angel of music, come to the Angel of Music!" Raoul, expresses shock at hearing the Phantom's voice from outside Christine's dressing room, saying "Whose is that voice? Who is that in there?" She actually walks through the mirror of her room into the Phantom's tunnel. Christine slowly walks towards him, singing. An image of the Phantom appears singing to and hypnotising her. Assuming that he is the Angel of Music, the man who has been coaching her, she sings back about how she wishes to see his face. At the start of the song, the Phantom harshly criticizes Christine's childhood sweetheart, Raoul, saying that he is riding on her success. It is sung as a duet between Christine Daa é and The Phantom and is sung right after the song "Little Lotte" and right before the song "The Phantom of the Opera."ĭuring the song, Christine is getting ready for bed when she hears the Phantom poop singing to her. Angel of Music is a song from the stage musical The Phantom of the Opera composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
