Costumes to the Il Muto. Originals are much more better than in the movie. 

These colors are awful. Actors look like hard candy and Meg is a...shepherdess?

To much sweet things. To much reflective costumes. Cheesy.

It looks like a mockery of  Le Nozze di Figaro.

Only opera that looks nice, is Hannibal. 

And it isn't Christine's performance, but the rehearsal. 

Shame, that scene had a big potencial.

Hot. Sexy. OMG it's Gerik.

Instead the original Phantom's beautiful persian dressing-gown, stylists gave him a white shirt, of course, revealing the chest. Sadly. I much prefer his dressing-gown than this. It shows, that Phantom/Erik lived an interesting past (a reference to the book).

Well, I hate this movie costume. Carlotta was a proud lady form the upper classes and she knows, how to properly dress. Carlotta from the movie has a daub style, she was annoyed to others people. Creators did from her character a caricature. Shame. That lady had of course some bad moods and requirements decent divas, but without exaggeration! 

And she wear a crinoline. Next woman in that movie, wear a crinoline. 

CRINOLINES WEREN'T WORN IN THE LATE XIX CENTURY!

Another exaggeration. Countess from Il Muto in the original POTO had a refined, sweet style, and that costume from the movie is...to much daub. Wig is to big, gown is really to big! One bad step, and she can fall down. 

I like her makeup. In the theatre, stylists haven't a time to makeup for  actress who play Carlotta, so good, that in the movie they made her a white face as it should be. 

I like it. Original costumes to the Il Muto ballet it's better, but these from the movie is pretty too. 

That looks so natural and girls in this outfits looks very innocently. Classic colors and style. Nice.

In the original POTO, dancers in Il Muto was a nymphs and in the movie, they are clearly shepherdess. 

I love their hairstyles. 

Big shame that in the movie hasn't a clear choreography to Il Muto. Just a few girls dancing and a rest of the dancers are confused or trying calm the sheep. 

Costumes are nice, but that scene in movie was completely destroyed. 

I really like these ballerinas' costumes. These very fit to the XIX century. 

Overall, their costumes aren't so different of the original. 

I like these ribbons.

The only thing that irritate me is the behavior of these girls in the movie (without Meg).

Well, I understand the idea of that scene in movie, but they  completely destroyed.

Creators wanted to do with the Masquerade a real ball for the upper classes. I think.

So, Raoul has the same costume as the original in POTO. That's a plus. 

Christine and a rest of guests have a ball costumes on the masquerade. No. Just a guests (and Madame Giry, Meg, Carlotta etc.) have a ball costumes on the masquerade. They have a masks! Or something strange gowns, suits etc. Christine has a normal elegant (for that century) dress. Why she hasn't a mask? Or something what she could worn or carrying on the masquerade? And of course, she worn a crinoline. Great. 

Most people knows, what I think about crinoline. 

Anyway, if creators wanted make a real  ball, they could give all a masks. Wait. All people in that scene have a masks, only Christine hasn't. I don't know why.

Her dress completly doesn't fit to the rest of the people. Everybody worn something white, gold, black or they mixed these colors, and only Christine worn pink dress. I understand, that her dress had a contrast with Phantom's costume, but her outfit is for another opportunity.

And the choreography in this scene is awful.

Here is the same problem as with the costume of Christine.
Thats all totally doesn't fit to the "Don Juan Triumphant". In movie, Meg looks like gypsy, but her costume recalls much more flamenco/pasodoble/cancan costume.
That's Carmen, not Don Juan....
Otherwise, Meg looks like courtesan from Moulin Rouge (if I remember correctly, in Moulin Rouge movie, one of the courtesans, has the same costume as Meg here...)

Creators changed the whole meaning of that opera. 

I like that movie costume. We must remember, that Phantom was always elegant man. Shame that he hasn't hat. Phantom in the movie looked like hero of harlequin story, but this outfit is very good.

His vest is perfect.

I hate that. Hate, hate, hate. He isn't a Red Death! Orginal Red Death's costume was a symbol of Leroux's Masquerade, so I don't understand why they changed it? Where is that beautiful hat? Where are these perfect ornaments? Gerik looks like a matador. And his mask is awful. Sorely lacking here a skull mask.

Why he carry that saber? 

 Well,  this everything no make sense. From the beginning a song, we knows that, this man isn't  Piangi. Anyway, this mask is cheesy. He looks like a matador. Again. I prefer much more the original Don Juan costume. 

I still don't understand why they tried to make him a "hot and sexy". 

Ok, I accepted that Phantom wanted be a handsome, but without exaggeration!

Costumes always are a important things in a movies, so for me, these movie characters (like Phantom or Christine) are to much "perfect".

Phantom was a haughty and elegant man! 

I totally hate he's costume in movie, without that first.

I very like Carlotta's Hannibal dress in movie. It is in the same style as the original but it's different idea. Hat is awful, shawl on her arms is nice and I love these colors. Although I prefer original dress, but this gown worn by Minnie is beautiful and fits to the Hannibal opera.

Nice corset.

I wonder why Christine doesn't wear the same dress as Carlotta? She is the understudy for the role of Elissa, so why she isn't looks like Elissa? She worn Elisabeth's costume. And it's a small mistake. Hannibal's action happens long time ago, before the birth of Christ. Elisabeth worn this costume near the end of the XIX century. Maybe it was a independent solo aria. I don't know, but this movie costume should be worn only by Sisi. Christine should be dressed in a Elissa's dress.

The costumes on the rehearsal for Hannibal was perfect (well, I mean that they are in the same style), but Think of me dress totally doesn't fit to this opera.

musical vs. movie part 2 - masquerade and Don Juan

musical vs. movie - operas

Well, I think in that movie, Hannibal costume was inspired by Hungarian non-repica. They're very similar. Choreography too. Original costume it's better because colors are nicer, but in the movie, costume it's good too. Matter of taste.

In the movie, dressing-gown it's beautiful. I really like it, but I can't understand, why Christine going in the same underwear with foreign man? They could give her normal underskirt, without this slit at leg. Emmy/Christine in movie has only 16/17 years. I know that in this epoch, 16 years woman was adult, but for the sake of decency... Nineteenth-century young lady shouldn't going dressed like this. 

This is what I don't understand. Christine is in the same underwear (yes, corset is underwear) with another man (!!!) and in addition outside. It's snowing. It's cold. So what? Christine must dressed up just a coat covered just her back. She's singer btw, she will maybe sick, if she still going in this outfit. 

In original musical, Christine has Countess costume and I love it. She looks in this nicely, and it all makes sense. I definitely don't like this movie costume.

I really hate this costume. Really, really hate. Why? Because, crinolines were worn to 1860. In movie is 1872 (am I right?). They mistook years. Anyway, original WYWSHA/Notes  dress is very beautiful, and I think, that they could use this costume, instead invent something new and not matching btw. I general don't like crinoline, so only more bothers me that dress. 

Christine looks like she was dressed in the same underskirt. Again.

Well, this dress is nice. Really. But she's again is poorly dressed. It's snowing, and Christine has ample cleavage. I like the idea of clothes Christine in black colors a sign of mourning. She hasn't the red scarf. Shame, I like it, but in the movie, Raoul didn't say about it, so I wasn't surprised, that they don't gave it her.

PONR costume is pretty...but not in this opera, not in this movie. She doesn't looks like Aminta but...like Carmen? I really prefer original dress. It's much nicer. 

Wedding dress it's ok. I much more will original costume, but in the movie it's good. In my opinion, this dress doesn't fit into this epoch. And it's a copy dress for 1990 movie. Teri Polo wore the same costume, but it wasn't wedding dress and just a normal outfit.

Summing it all, I think the original Christine's costumes are much better for that. Some dresses are nice, but there don't fit for this musical. And of course, they have a problem with original epoch costume. In theatre, everything is perfectly designed by Maria Bjornson. Well, they could use original.
