Assignment #11 Phantom of The Opera

The movie Phantom of The Opera was a very good movie and I enjoyed watching it in class. There were many art disciplines in this movie. The ones I noticed as most present were dance, music, performing arts, theatre, and film. Dance is in this film many times. Most of the actors and performers dance throughout the entire movie. Music is presented in this movie as well. There are many different songs that are sang by the different performers in this movie. Each person sang very well and made the movie great. Performing arts is shown throughout the movie because each person in the movie performs in some way or another. Theater is shown in this performance because they are doing a play for an audience. Film is a part of this movie because their performance is recorded and made into a movie. I really enjoyed watching this movie in class and it was a very fun and entertaining movie.

A) Describe what the life of a ballerina would have been like at the Paris Opera House in the late 19th Century:

     Life for a ballerina at the Paris Opera House in the late 19th century would have been very strenuous. Each ballerina has many years of practice and hard work that goes into each performance that they have. This is when women received the privilege of dancing on stage. For a long time, men would dance women's parts, women did not have the rights to dance. But during the late 19th century in Paris, there was a decline in male ballet dancers. They had to work hard to keep their skill up and their bodies in shape. They work hard to try to be the best dancers that they can be. The ballerinas in Phantom of the Opera do an amazing job at what they do and you can tell that much hard work went into their performance. Many ballerinas during this time worked very hard and long hours and many years to acquire the great skill they have acquired. After they worked hard to develop their technique, they were eventually ready to perform on stage.
