The Phantom of the Opera (2004) Quiz

Answer: running down a spiral staircase and chalking the toes of their ballet shoes

In a scene that is wonderfully, visually rich, we listen to the Overture for the movie while watching all the preparations that are being made for the rehearsal of the opera 'Hannibal'. Christine and Meg can be spotted hurrying down the spiral staircase, and stepping into a box of chalk found at the bottom of the stairs.

They quickly make sure that their shoes are coated, before joining the other dancers.

Answer: driving his carriage through the streets of Paris

In the same opening number, Raoul can be seen standing, cracking the whip and whistling to his horses, as he makes his way to the opera house. Here he is greeted by Andre and Firmin, and then introduced to all as the new patron (along with his family). He does walk right past Christine who remarks that he wouldn't recognize her anymore.

Answer: 'Grovel.'

The actual quote is, 'Grovel. Grovel, grovel, grovel.' Lefevre does suggest that Carlotta be persuaded to sing the aria for them, but also tells them that he's headed for Australia. Andre and Firmin grovel, to Carlotta's satisfaction, and she begins to sing the aria. However the Phantom causes a backdrop to fall on her, which angers her to the point that she really does leave.

Answer: False

Madame Giry is standing in the shadows, and sees him turn the key and remove it from the lock. The expression on her face is hard to read, but she does turn and walk away, leaving Christine unable to escape the Phantom's plans for her. Considering the fact that she did tell Andre that she thought of Christine as a daughter, this act seems like a betrayal, even if she trusted the Phantom not to harm Christine.

Answer: They are golden, moving arms holding candelabras.

The arms are holding ornate candelabras, and swing back and forth as Christine and the Phantom pass. Later that night, when Meg discovers the passage behind the mirror and goes looking for Christine, the candelabras have been replaced by dusty old wall sconces that have obviously not been lit for quite some time.
The candelabras that emerge from the water are in his lair, not in the passage.

Answer: Swings are being lowered for the ballerinas, some of whom are trying to lead sheep onto the stage.

Despite the Phantom's warnings, Carlotta is given the lead in the production of 'Il Muto', and the Phantom's box is not left empty. Due to his disruptions (including the switching of Carlotta's throat spray) a change of lead is announced, and the ballet is offered to amuse the audience while Christine changes. Ever fascinated by the Phantom, Buquet pursues him through the catwalks, until the Phantom turns the pursuit around and Buquet begins fleeing. Buquet's murder is interspersed with scenes of the unprepared ballerinas trying to make the dance work, with the audience laughing in amusement, until Buqet's body is hung in front of them.

Answer: Only the men dance when the Phantom sings, and the women dance when Christine sings.

The dancers do not have a large role in this number, but they can be seen using very large, striking arm movements at the back of the stage, behind the singers. The men dance while the Phantom sings, and then the women while Christine sings, as she and the Phantom climb the stairs to the bridge.
When they meet on the middle of the bridge, the men and women below dance together, mirroring many of the movements that Christine and the Phantom are performing on the bridge.

Answer: on the rose with the black ribbon, that is placed on Christine's grave

We first see the ring during the 'Masquerade' number, hanging from a chain around Christine's neck. After the Phantom makes his entrance, he rips the chain off of her and takes the ring with him, back to his lair. He then puts it into Christine's palm, and folds her fingers over it, after he has had her don the wedding dress.

She puts it on her finger just before she kisses him in order to save Raoul's life. After the Phantom releases them, she returns and puts it into his hand. The Phantom then leaves it on the headstone, years later.

Answer: Meg's pants, wet from walking through the water, are dry when she picks up the mask.

Meg crosses the water in front of the Phantom's lair, ahead of the police officers, and emerges with her brown pants obviously very wet. Seconds later she is seen crossing to where the mask is lying, and her pants are bone dry. The mask that she did pick up was the classic half mask that the Phantom wore for most of the movie.

Answer: 3

He wears the moulded half mask for most of the movie, a full mask with blackened eye rims and gashes formed to look like stitches for the New Year's masquerade party, and a different full mask for his role of Don Juan in 'The Point of No Return' number.

This mask does not cover his forehead, which is smooth but is later revealed to be disfigured, when Christine takes it off of him in front of the full house.
