The Phantom Of The Opera
Starring::

Thomas James O'Leary
Sandra Joseph
Gary Mauer
Jeff Keller
George Lee Andrews
Patricia Hurd
Leila Martin
Frederic Heringues
Geralyn DelCorso
Ted Keegan as Reyer
Video quality: B- / C+. Some obvious generation loss and spot washout. Balance between wide shot and close up. Taper seemed to know the show well, very little is missed. No annoying heads in the way.

O'Leary is a wonderfully visual Phantom, with a very angry lair. Gary Mauer's Raoul was near to perfection, and Sandra Joseph's Christine is a lot better here than she becomes later in her run.
Available in Region free DVD or NTSC VHS. Screen caps were taken from the DVD files.
My music . . . my music . . .
Obvious care went into taping Music Of The Night . . . the best close-ups I've seen from this period.
Gary Mauer and Sandra Joseph share a moment before "All I Ask Of You".
A good portion of the final lair is more wide-shot than close up as seen here, for obvious reason - not to miss the action.
That is, until the action is more intesnse close up.
Now THAT is what I call a kiss!
