Review of The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall (2011) by Bobby L — 23 Jun 2013
Even though "The Phantom of the Opera" is a musical (not an opera!) it does call for operatic singing, and there is a very big difference between that kind of singing and what the leads were doing.
Ms. Boggess has a fine voice, but she sounds more like a mezzo than a soprano and her high notes make Emmy Rossum sound okay in comparison. Both she and Mr. Karimloo sound like they have a vocal wobble, and they are continuously sacrifice pitch for vibrato.
However, I'm sure they sound very good in more conventional musical theatre.
