Any guesses on why they changed the mask in the Madrid production? It was really beautiful in promo pictures and on Ramin. :(
I wanna say Ramin Karimloo wore two different masks during his run in Italy and Monaco? One appeared more in the vein of the West End masks, with smooth forehead:
...and one with the clunkier eyebrow/forehead design, as also seen in Madrid:
I guess a combination of wanting the mask to differ more from the replica version + maybe make it more characteristic on stage made them boost the eyebrow/forehead design. Ramin's mask is pretty similar to what's seen on Gerónimo Rauch in Madrid:
But in the promo photos of Gerónimo Rauch and alt. Manu Pilas it looks like they use a smoother West End mask which was physically or digitally airbrushed with eyebrow/forehead lines. I mean, look at the shape of the forehead - it's completely different from the mask above.
So yeah, sorry, not a definite answer, but some theories.
