First Australian Tour (Sydney, Australia) | 31 March 1994 (Phantales) | Proshot | VOBs with smalls | 3.94 GB
Notes from other traders: The Sydney company of Phantom of the Opera in their annual Easter Charity Benefit show. Each of Cameron Mackintosh’s Australian shows participates at midnight after their regular performances. These shows feature the cast members parodying songs and other shows, with a slight tilt towards their own productions. Pro-shot for video, these tapes were made for cast and crew only. Very rare! Very enjoyable show! |
First Australian Tour (Sydney, Australia) | 13 April 1995 (Absolutely Phantomless) | Proshot | VOBs with smalls | 3.99 GB
Notes from other traders: The Australian cast of Phantom of the Opera in their annual Easter Charity Concert.

Second Australian Tour (Melbourne, Australia) | 31 July 2007 | VOBs with smalls | 4.09 GB
Simon Pryce (s/b The Phantom), Julie Goodwin (alt. Christine Daaé), John Bowles (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny) Almaviva’s notes: Until May 2023, I had no idea that a video recording existed of Julie and John and yet here they are in a seemingly (and as yet) uncirculated video! The date checks out as this was when Simon covered for Anthony Warlow the entire week (Anthony was off recovering after singing Melbourne opening night with flu on 28 July and he only returned to the show on 5 August for the Sunday matinee). This is also confirmed by newspaper reports I have from the time. I hope to identify more of the cast when I have time. |
Second Australian Tour (Brisbane, Australia) | 22 April 2008 | VOBs with smalls | 5.62 GB
Simon Pryce (s/b The Phantom), Ana Marina (Christine Daaé), Alexander Lewis (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny) Almaviva’s notes: The only full video of the 2007-2009 Australian run. Missing “Magical Lasso”. Different aspect ratios for Act I and Act II. After a year of searching, I finally located a copy with the original menu and smalls. |
Second Australian Tour (Sydney, Australia) | 11 September 2008 | MOV | 616.1 MB
Alexander Lewis (u/s The Phantom), Ana Marina (Christine Daaé), David Somerville (u/s Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny), Andrea Creighton (Carlotta Guidicelli), Nadia Komazec (Meg Giry) Notes: Mostly obstructed footage; some is audio only. Fragmented Christine-oriented highlights: “Overture”, Hannibal, last bit of “Think of Me”, parts of “Angel of Music”, “The Mirror”, title song, “Stranger Than You Dreamt It”, and the rooftop scene, most of “Twisted Every Way” and last half of “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again”, and almost all of “Point of No Return” and Final Lair. Thirteen MOV files. *Limited trade (2:1)* |
Second Australian Tour | 2009 | AVI + MP4 | 474.3 MB
Anthony Warlow (The Phantom), Ana Marina (Christine Daaé), Alexander Lewis (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny) Notes: 8 clips mainly focusing on Anthony: Think of Me [mp4 only]; The Mirror/POTO; MOTN; I Remember/STYDI; AIAOY (Reprise); Why So Silent; Wandering Child/Bravo, Monsieur; Final Lair [FL is smaller and pixelated and has a watermark] Almaviva’s notes: Often traded as 2009. I have seen this dated 13 September 2008, but the audio I have from the evening performance with Ana doesn’t match. Another date mentioned is 9 September 2008, but this also cannot be confirmed. **Looking for original files** |
Second Australian Tour (Adelaide, Australia) | May 2009 | AVI | 156 MB
Anthony Warlow (The Phantom), Anna O’Byrne (u/s Christine Daaé), Alexander Lewis (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny) Notes: 2 AVI clips: The Mirror/POTO and Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again. Anna O’Byrne’s debut in Adelaide. Almaviva’s notes: I have seen this dated 20 May 2009, but cannot confirm. Definitely May, however, since the show opened and closed in Adelaide that month. **Looking for original files** *Very limited trade (3:1)* |
Second Australian Tour (Adelaide, Australia) | 22 May 2009 | VOBs only | 3.33 GB
Anthony Warlow (The Phantom), Ana Marina (Christine Daaé), Alexander Lewis (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny), Nadia Komazec (Meg Giry), Andrea Creighton (Carlotta Guidicelli) Notes: Act I only. Mostly blindshot and obstructed. Almaviva’s notes: The 2007-2009 Australia/New Zealand run ended in Adelaide on 23 May 2009. This probably was one of the last performances of that tour. **Looking for smalls** |
Opera Australia (Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour) | 28 March 2022 | MP4 + MOV | 1.37 GB
Joshua Robson (The Phantom), Georgina Hopson (Christine Daaé), Callum Francis (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny) Almaviva’s notes: Highlights. Starting with “The Phantom Of The Opera”. 7 clips, with one of them being a duplicate but rotated. |

Vertically filmed with no zooms, obstructions from heads but you can see most of the stage for a lot of the video. Non-replica. Master’s first time seeing Phantom live. Might hear crunching etc. very close by as the person next to the master was being noisy. The cast were very good in terms of voices. Quality of video would be C-D as you can see most of the action but there are no zooms. *NFT* |
Third Australian Tour (Restaged) (Arts Centre Melbourne) | 31 January 2023 | MP4 | 270.5 MB
Josh Piterman (The Phantom), Amy Manford (Christine Daaé), Blake Bowden (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny) Notes: 7 clips, including about part of “Think of Me”, “Stranger Than You Dreamt It”, part of “Why Have You Brought Us Here”, “I Gave You My Music”, a little of “Masquerade” and all of “Why So Silent”, “Twisted Every Way”, the Graveyard, and most of “Point of No Return”. |
BROADWAY
Broadway | 1987 (Original Broadway Cast rehearsal footage) | VOBs with smalls | 2.25 GB
Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, Steve Barton, Hal Prince, Charles Hart Notes from other traders: About 40 minutes of rehearsal footage. There’s definite generation loss in this (buzzing in the audio, the “fuzzy bar” at the bottom of the screen, some colour bleeding) but given the age, and how long this likely spent on VHS before being transferred to a DVD it’s in better shape than many boots from this time period out there. |
Broadway | 1988 (Press reel) | VOBs only | 1.71 GB
Michael Crawford (The Phantom), Sarah Brightman (Christine Daaé), Steve Barton (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny) Notes from other traders: About 6 minutes of press reels of the original Broadway cast. Includes the title song, “Music of the Night”, “All I Ask of You”, “Masquerade”, and “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again”. A lot of generation loss. Also includes press reels from other shows. |
Broadway | 28 February 1988 | VOBs with smalls | 1.66 GB
Michael Crawford (The Phantom), Sarah Brightman (Christine Daaé), Steve Barton (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny) Notes: About an hour and a half of the show, missing a bunch of the beginning of Act II, which starts in the middle of Don Juan. Clear video for its age. Almaviva’s notes: It has recently come to my attention that this is the same video (albeit abridged) as the April 1988 video below. I have checked this and there is the same moment during “Masquerade” when an audience member gets up and blocks the camera. |
Broadway | April 1988 | VOBs only | 4.00 GB
Michael Crawford (The Phantom), Sarah Brightman (Christine Daaé), Steve Barton (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny) Notes: Starts partway through Overture. Colour bleeding, washout, generation loss, and missing Prologue, Magical Lasso and several other minor scenes. Almaviva’s notes: It has recently come to my attention that this is the same video (though longer?) as the 28 February 1988 video above. I have checked this and there is the same moment during “Masquerade” when an audience member gets up and blocks the camera. |

Howard McGillin (The Phantom), Adrienne McEwan (Christine Daaé), Gary Mauer (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny), George Lee Andrews (Monsieur André), Jeff Keller (Monsieur Firmin), Leila Martin (Madame Giry) Notes from other traders: Highlights, 77 minutes, described as one of Howard McGillin’s best performances. Lots of washout even in closeups and pretty dull video. |
Broadway | 1 October 2005 (Evening) | VOBs with smalls | 7.93 GB
Hugh Panaro (The Phantom), Sandra Joseph (Christine Daaé), Tim Martin Gleason (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny), Anne Runolfsson (Carlotta Guidicelli), James Romick (u/s Monsieur Firmin), George Lee Andrews (Monsieur André), Marilyn Caskey (Madame Giry), Larry Wayne Morbitt (Ubaldo Piangi), Kara Klein (Meg Giry) Notes from other traders: Hugh Panaro’s last performance at the time, includes curtain call and speeches at the end. Beautiful, clear picture with great detail and quality, and the entire cast was on fire. Notes: This is the original video without the faulty VOB in the second act. |

Jeremy Stolle (u/s The Phantom), Mary Michael Patterson (Christine Daaé), Jeremy Hays (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny) Notes from other traders: Shot from the front row, so no heads in the way. Phantom-orientated highlights, runs about 40 minutes. |

Missing the auction and “Masquerade”. Rare understudy trio! Jeremy and Elizabeth’s acting is top tier, and they are a real couple in life. The chemistry is incredible, especially during first lair and PONR. Mishap: Elizabeth didn’t pull Jeremy’s wig off in PONR until the second time. *NFT* |

Peter Karrie (The Phantom), Teresa DeZarn (Christine Daaé), David Rogers (Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny) Includes a 6-minute interview with Peter Karrie on a local programme. Notes from other traders: 50 minutes of Phantom-oriented highlights. The only released video of Karrie’s Phantom. Almost black-and-white picture and quite dark, but detail is sharp considering its age. |

GERMANY & AUSTRIA
Vienna, Austria | 1988 [December?] (Press reel/highlights) | VOBs with smalls | 1023.7 MB
Notes from other traders: Making-of feature of the production with original cast. Includes interviews with the cast and creative team, clips from rehearsal and performance and clips from other musicals. Almaviva’s notes: There seem to be conflicting listings about the exact date and cast of this and the other 1988 Vienna special. I am following the details given to me by the trader I got them from. |

Generation loss, color bleeding. Includes 40 minutes of interview and concert footage with Vienna and original Hamburg productions. I believe that originally this video came with “Making Of” but since there is a big difference in quality of both videos, I’m sure they were separated once and both videos I have came from different tapes so I trade them separately. Almaviva’s notes: There seem to be conflicting listings about the exact date and cast of this and the other 1988 Vienna special. I am following the details given to me by the trader I got them from. |

Michael Crawford (The Phantom), Rebecca Caine (alt.

Shot from the most obstructed seat I’ve ever sat in, meaning most of the stage (particular the centre) is not visible but I did my best to shoot around it and there’s a few nice moments. I stopped recording for the boring office scenes. |

SYDMONTON WORKSHOP
Sydmonton | July 1985 | VOBs with smalls | 4.37 GB
Colm Wilkinson, Sarah Brightman, Clive Carter Notes from other traders: Horrifying quality - black and white with lots of green lines running through it; lots of generation loss. Sound is decent, though. Act I only, lots of old lyrics, and very interesting to see the show in its first incarnation. Almaviva’s notes: My copy contains the original version, the enhanced version, and clips from the 2004 film and the Behind the Mask documentary. |
