五點放學，我很累，哪兒都不想去，啥都不想做。可是票不便宜，還是要去。
聽過音樂會，看過舞台劇，欣賞過舞蹈表演，但歌劇，我還是第一次聽。
有幾種較強烈的感覺，後勁源源不絕。我覺得....該把聽力訓練好，很多句聽不懂，相當可惜。也希望有好幾雙眼睛，可以同時看台上所有人的演出。同一時間若有好幾撮人在講話，我常會顧此失彼，注意力在各群中遊移，因為每個人都演得很棒，我不想錯過任何一個。場景、特效也沒話說，彷彿親臨電影實景....不，該說彷彿到了故事的時代。
很多特效，讓人印象深刻。一開始拍賣會場轉到過去的部分，吊燈升起，舞台正面原本滿是破舊的布幕，竟能蜷縮不見，很難形容，像極了從無瀰漫到有的煙霧倒帶的樣子；Christine在鏡子裡看到魅影，跟著走進去並消失；魅影帶她進地下水道那一段，兩人在舞台各處出現的速度與看魔術秀差不多；化妝舞會上講完話像忍者煙霧彈的綠光閃過，隨即整個人消失；甚至是結尾，魅影坐在椅子上，蓋上披風，拉開後竟然不見！
國二時第一次看Phantom of the Opera，當時看完很有種很悶的感覺了。過了幾年，再看電影，甚至現在看舞台劇，都免不了愁悵。It's so difficult to imagine phantom's life. If you put yourself into his shoes....you'll see how miserable his life was. Born with a deformed face, deserted by his family, raised up deep down the ground, he knew nothing about love. Later he found a girl. In the darkness he observed her, watched her grow, joined her life, taught her how to sing and yet, never showed up in front of her. He sensed a miraculous feeling called "love," but tragically enough to see sb else take her away. What makes me so upset was that ....even though he was losing her...even though he knew it hurt him a lot, he still cared about Christine. The worst part was that he eventually regained his conscience, put her wish above his, let them leave and asked them to forget everything about him. I always cry at this part. Today, I did, too.
中場休息時我已狂傳簡訊，想讓很多人知道我當時多興奮....可是手機被停話我還不曉得。散場布幕拉上後，樂池中的指揮仍繼續舞動著雙手，音樂持續了很久。很多觀眾走到前面，好像參觀展覽似的 (個人覺得這樣有點失禮)，交頭接耳議論紛紛：「這指揮是女的耶，而且好年輕唷。」是蠻年輕的沒錯，看起來像30幾歲的珍古德。
我沒有湊上前去，只站在自己的座位前，聽著樂聲，感受一群人的投入。那時，激動的情緒尚未平息，滿心感動卻沒人能說，於是，一時衝動......
「THANK YOU!! FOR THIS WONDERFUL NIGHT!!」我向樂池喊。
「THANK YOU」指揮回喊，送了我一個微笑。
