explanation:
Answer:
1.Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de L'Opéra by Gaston Leroux, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it.
an apparition or specter. an appearance or illusion without material substance, as a dream image, mirage, or optical illusion. a person or thing of merely illusory power, status, efficacy, etc.: the phantom of fear.
2.Carmen is often simply understood as a story about a doomed love affair.
Carmen is a beautiful gypsy girl, at the beginning of the opera making an honest living in a cigarette factory. The usual adjective used to describe her is "fiery". She is unfamiliar with the concept of delayed gratification. She talks a lot about being free, by which she means free of any restraint whatsoever.
3.Miss Saigon is a musical by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil, with lyrics by Boublil and Richard Maltby Jr. It is based on Giacomo Puccini's 1904 opera Madame Butterfly, and similarly tells the tragic tale of a doomed romance involving an Asian woman abandoned by her American lover.
The spectacle of “Miss Saigon” is still spectacular. The tragedy is still tragic. And a show that has been controversial since its debut 30 years ago remains problematic despite excellent staging and performances from a talented cast.
