Andrew Lloyd Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is coming to Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld Expo in a spectacular grand theatre setting Priority booking starts Monday, August 4 exclusively for American Express Members (HONG KONG, 01 August, 2014) The world’s most popular musical, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, makes a long-awaited return to Hong Kong, playing from 21 December 2014 for 17 performances only, in a brand new theatre space in the AsiaWorld Expo Arena. The Andrew Lloyd Webber blockbuster has played to more than 80 million people in 124 cities around the world. The show has been honoured with more than 50 major theatre awards, including seven Tony Awards and two Olivier’s, and even this year was nominated again – for the Olivier Audience Award in London’s West End. “Broadway’s biggest hit!” Daily news, USA P. 1 of 8 Now, for the first time in Hong Kong, a new theatre space will be created especially for THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. The international production will be staged in a specially constructed 4,000-seat theatre environment, inside AsiaWorld Expo Arena. Audiences will experience the full West End and Broadway spectacle, with the addition of a multi-camera live shoot, feeding onto giant screens erected either side of the stage enhancing the details of the stunning sets and enabling audiences to see more than 230 luxurious costumes in close-up. The Phantom’s presence will fill the theatre and surround audiences like never before and the signature chandelier will be as magnificent as ever. Chinese surtitles will be used at all performances. Broadway star Brad Little returns to Hong Kong as The Phantom and is joined by a stellar international cast of 37, accompanied by a full live orchestra. The production will open on 21 December 2014 in time for the Christmas and festive holidays for a strictly limited season. American Express Card Members will have the privilege of Exclusive Priority Booking. As the show’s Co-Title Sponsor, American Express offers priority booking for Card Members to purchase tickets before the general public from 11-25 August. American Express Centurion members have the added privilege of having exclusive access to book from 4 August. General ticket sales commence on 1 September. “God’s Gift To Musical Theatre!” The Times, UK “PHANTOM is undoubtedly a musical classic. The critically acclaimed masterpiece is enjoying its 28th year on the West End stage, and 27th year on Broadway, and continues to play to full houses around the world. We’re very excited to be able to bring the show back to Hong Kong for its many faithful fans, as well as for those who have never had the chance to see this legendary show,” said Kerry Comerford, Vice President, Asia Pacific of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Really Useful Group. P. 2 of 8 “This is a unique and wonderful opportunity to bring this touring production of the musical, which is every bit as good as the version you would see in the West End or on Broadway, to Hong Kong audiences,” explained James Cundall, CEO of Lunchbox Theatrical Productions. “What is really special is to be able to create a new theatre environment tailored to the needs and technical requirements of this massive musical. We have 130 cast, crew and orchestra members, jaw-dropping scenery, breathtaking special effects and fantastic costumes, and now we will have a venue to match the scale of the epic story and the magnificence of the music.” Lunchbox is delighted to welcome back two invaluable title sponsors, who together are supporting the return of THE PHANTOM to Hong Kong, American Express and Infiniti. “We recognize that American Express Card Members have a passion for music and this explains why we have a long-standing heritage to provide access to the most memorable music events for them. We are extremely proud to be the Co-Title Sponsor of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and offer our Card Members in Hong Kong with priority booking to this wonderful musical again.

The original cast recording, with over 40 million copies sold worldwide, is the best-selling cast recording of all time. P. 3 of 8 Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de L’Opéra by Gaston Leroux, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius known only as ‘The Phantom’ who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Mesmerised by the talents and beauty of a young soprano – Christine, the Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. Unaware of Christine’s love for Raoul, the Phantom’s obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where jealousy, madness and passions collide. The Original London production by Cameron Mackintosh and The Really Useful Group. Produced by Lunchbox Theatrical Productions and David Atkins Enterprises in association with The Really Useful Group. American Express and Infiniti are the proud title sponsors of the Hong Kong season of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA; The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong is the Official Hotel; OOCL is the Official Ocean Carrier; Convey and Pacific Coffee Company are Official Partners.

There are currently five productions around the world: the flagship London production (28 years and counting), New York (27 years and counting), Budapest (Hungary), Japan and Hamburg (Germany). The first Russian language production will open in Moscow in October 2014. Since its debut, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has grossed over US$890 million on Broadway. Even now, it is consistently among Broadway’s highest-grossing shows and remains a box office champ. Last year, the production shattered the house record at The Majestic by having its best weekly gross in its entire 28-year history. Total attendance is now over 15 million and it continues to play with no end in sight. The musical’s international success – equally staggering – is represented by total worldwide grosses estimated at over US$5.6 billion. This colossal figure makes PHANTOM the most successful entertainment venture of all time, with revenues higher than any film or stage play in history, including Titanic, Star Wars and far surpassing the world’s highest-grossing film Avatar (at $2.8 billion). Worldwide, the musical has been seen by 80 million people in 124 cities in 13 languages.

  • The Phantom of the Opera: an Annotated Bibliography
    Belphégor Kathryn Yelinek Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania The Phantom of the Opera: An Annotated Bibliography Introduction The year 2010 marks a centennial year for The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. First serialized in the French newspaper Le Gaulois from September 1909- January 1910, it was subsequently published in France as a complete novel in February 1910 (Casta-Husson 695). The work received an unenthusiastic critical response and would probably have become completely unknown if not for the 1925 silent movie starring Lon Chaney (Hall 10-21). A few movie remakes after that kept the story in the public consciousness until the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical of the 1980s moved the Phantom front and center. Yet despite the story’s continued remakes and popular success, critical analysis has been slow to follow. The first listing for Gaston Leroux in the MLA International Bibliography did not occur until 1961; this was over thirty years after his death in 1927 (Hall 11). The first entry that focused on The Phantom of the Opera was not until 1991. As may be anticipated, critical interest in the story increased dramatically following the success of the Lloyd Webber musical. However, that interest remains heavily focused on the original novel and the 1925 movie. In spite of its popularity, the Lloyd Webber musical remains underrepresented in the critical commentary. Discussion of additional versions of the Phantom story, including other popular movie, theatrical, and literary adaptations, also remains underrepresented. The following bibliography offers a list of scholarly resources about the original Leroux novel and its successors.

The computer game was a smashing success and has been a gaming classic ever since. The most prominent designer of the game, Sid Meier, was also the programmer. The other chief designer was Bruce Shelley; but more than a score of other people helped with the game. A complete list of the game credits is given in [10].

The term ``4X'' is explained by [1] as standing for the phrase ``eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate'' -- these four verbs provide a sketchy overview of the game. The player begins the game viewing a map with control over one or more `settler' units (a unit is a small figure which can be moved around the world map representing a specialized group of people).

  • A Világ Legbefolyásosabb Emberei : Ahogy Az Anno a PC Guruban
    Hanula Zsolt: A világ legbefolyásosabb emberei . ahogy az anno a PC Guruban megjelent (majdnem) ELŐSZÓ Az egész valamikor 2002-ben kezdődött, 15 éve, belegondolni is rossz, milyen régen. Ültünk valahol Sashegyi “Sasa” Zsolttal, és megváltottuk a világot; ő akkor szerkesztő volt a PC Gurunál, én külsős cikkíró, a világmegváltás pedig abból állt, hogy kitaláljuk, hogyan legyen jobb az újság. Ehhez a magyar médiában akkor és azóta is előszeretettel használt módszert használtuk: megnéztük, mit csinálnak éppen tőlünk nyugatabbra, és megpróbáltuk lemásolni, a magyar viszonyokra igazítva. Éppen akkoriban volt egy nagy anyag a Gamespyon (a Gamespy akkor a legnagyobb gémer portálok közé tartozott, aztán beolvadt az IGN-be), az volt a címe, Most Influental People in Gaming, vagy valami hasonló, egy miniportré-gyűjtemény volt játékfejlesztő sztárokról. Ezt megcsinálhatnánk mi is, mondta Sasa; bízd csak ide, mondtam én. Legyen inkább sorozat, havi egy oldal, úgy lesz hely rendesen bemutatni a fickókat, mondtam egy hét múlva. Még egy hét múlva leadtam az első epizódot, alig fért bele kettőbe. Én az Arcképcsarnok címet adtam neki, máig nem tudom, miért ragadt rajta végül a tükörfordított, és munkacímnek használt Legbefolyásosabb. Nem is nagyon stimmelt, mert a híres játékfejlesztők sztorijai általában pont arról szóltak, hogyan próbáltak boldogulni és kreatívak maradni a befolyásos kiadóvezérek és pénzemberek uralta, egyre nagyobbra növő videojáték-bizniszben. A rovat majdnem öt évet élt a PC Guru oldalain, én szerettem írni, az olvasók szerették olvasni. Akkoriban még alig volt Wikipédia, közösségi média egyáltalán nem, szóval a háttérkutatás általában abból állt, hogy az aktuális havi célszemély összes valaha megjelent és elérhető interjúját átnyálaztam kisebb-nagyobb sztorik után, amikkel a hivatalos életrajzot ki lehet színezni.
