Running a world-renowned opera is hard work, so here’s Erik on a stagehand’s step ladder with a cup of joe and a biscuit before rehearsals, because even extortionists need a balanced breakfast.

Michael Crawford on Bootlegs (Jan. 24, 2018):

Yes, I found the other day on YouTube, a video that started in the Final Lair to the end of the show. It was - oh my gosh, it was so - it was extraordinary to watch. Because you just remembered, all the memories of doing it came back, not what the performance was, it was - I remember that move, I remember, yes, how I felt sitting in that position, and trying to make sure that the cloth didn’t hit the mike and scratch it, so it would interfere with the sound quality. It was quite complicated when you first put that cloak on for Past the Point of No Return, towards the end.

Yes, I so wish that a video recording of the whole thing would have been made. Surely, that’s my greatest regret is that we never got that. We were never able to have a recording of the entire show done.

“Except at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts where it’s been captured”.

Yes. I’ve got to try and be a Professor or something before I can see it.
