Abstract

The Phantom of the Opera is the longest-running Broadway show. With the development of musical drama, more and more people fall in love with it. This thesis is a comparative study on the Phantom of the Opera, comparing different techniques modern film and musical drama respectively use in practice while achieving the same intentions of the building of transition and a sense of presence. The subjects in this article include the 2004 film ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ and the 25th-anniversary celebration performance of the musical ‘The Phantom of the Opera’. It is concluded that the film has a greater advantage in its building of transition, while the musical drama has a greater advantage in its building of a sense of presence. However, when both art forms come across less convenient access to a certain field, they managed to fill in the gap and achieve their uniqueness in advantages.
