Was it seriously? I thought it was like, from the 1700s (I know next to nothing about Phantom of the Opera).
yep, first stage play was 1985. The plot is based on a book from 1910, but the music was all original composition. Same guy who did Cats
Some of you didnβt grow up overheating to the point of nausea in a dodge grand caravan while your mom fucking BLASTED Andrew Lloyd Weberβs latest drop and it shows.
That's really blowing my mind lol.
Wait you're telling me Cats isn't from the 1800s either??
(Okay, so it's based on a story that was serialized in 1909, so...it's kind of old?)
Toccata and Fugue in D minor is an old song that this is a cover of, so I guess there's that. I think it also seems old because "Phantom of the Opera" is such an old timey sounding name. I guess if it's based on an old book, maybe they were referencing stuff that was even earlier...
ha! it is! silly me mistook the album art for the song
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
