Sharpened Crayon what does 'keep your hands at the level of your eyes' mean?? thanks for your time smile Erik's signature weapon is the Punjab Lasso, which is a noose made of catgut. The phrase "keep the hand at the level of your eyes" is a warning. If a person has their hand level with their eyes, when the noose comes around their neck, they can break free before it tightens completely around their throat.

ALW is the initals of the composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, who composed the scores for 2004 Phantom. We just use it because it's way easier to type than his full name.

you're welcome. Now I have a question:
In one of the chapters of Leroux, I can't recall which at this time, it says, "And Moncharmin grabbed Mme. Giry by the waist and made her describe such an unexpected semicircle..." or something to that effect. What on earth does an 'unexpected semicircle' mean in that case?

I think the end of the sentence was "..of events" which, when put all together, is a more colorful and flowery way to say he demanded she tell all she knew about a certain incident.

Thank you Utakan. That meaning has eluded me since I started reading the book the first time...wow..I've got like, three questions that I could ask right now...but one belongs in the Managers office. I'll put it there.
As for my other question,
If our nose is used for amplifying our voices, how could Erik sing so well if he had "so little a nose worth talking about you could not see it sideways?"
I'm probably just being an idiot and not seeing the answer to this...

You don't need a nose to be able to talk, but rather it just helps. But really, on Leroux's part it is rather unethical considering Erik's voice would not have been angelic. Without a nose, he would have been more prone to simple sicknesses than others, since the nose filters out germs we breathe in. Being sick hurts the voice (coughing and puking, anyway) and would have ruined his voice.
Basically, Erik's ability to even have lived to be 50+ without a nose is a pure work of fiction and couldn't really happen.

Thank you, Uta. That's been bugging me for a long time.
Now then, and this was said in another thread, although I forget which, are the last two notes of the title song actually sung by the woman playing Christine? Someone said they weren't...

Are we talking the 04/05 movie? Because Emmy Rossum did all her own vocals, even the high notes at the end of the title song. The only person whose singing voice was dubbed over by a professional was Minnie Driver, who was Carlotta. They had an actual opera singer for her.

Oh, good lord. This is an interesting turn of events...
I can sing all but the last note of the title song. And I'm even younger than Emmy!
And I knew the Carlotta one. Actually, I had no idea what the actress's name was. I thought Minnie was the girl playing Meg.
Thanks for clearing all this up.

Even I can hit the notes. However, without training, that sort of vocal strain can hurt your voice. As for Emmy, she had Operatic training when she was 7. Didn't continue, mind you, but I'm sure she at least remembered how to warm up her voice. Just not how to stay in tune.
Most people don't remember Driver's name. Others just know her as an occasional character on the show Will & Grace.
