Thank you for allowing me to convey what I consider only some of the interesting facts regarding this movie production.

Sadly that famous Stage was torn down a year ago which was Universal's big tourist attraction. Nelson Eddy's singing is nothing but superb! The set was built almost two decades previously by Carl Lemmle as a replica of the Paris Opera House for the Silent Version The BluRay edition is breathtaking with the beauty of the music productions. Sweetland dubbed many actresses in a number of movie musicals. Another fascinating fact is a Soprano named Sally Sweetland dubbed the singing for actress Jane Farrar Chopin's Amor et Gloire. Also Ward composed Lullaby of the Bells which was the Phantom's piano concerto. Edward Ward did a fantastic job in composing some scores such as La Prince Masque du Caucasas associated with the addition of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. The movie was fabulous but it was released in 1943 when the world was at war, which explains why the movie never received accolades that it deserved. To me, Susanna Foster was a top Soprano and unappreciated.
