Love finding Phantom things when I least expect it! Never seen this one, it's from a 90s cartoon called The Triplets. These 3 sisters are always going on adventures because a bored witch sends them there. It's classic stories they're sent to, and one episode was of Phantom. It has some surprisingly good nods to the book. I miss how stuff was like that from back then. Have you ever seen this one? Highly recommended. Overlook the goofiness of the girls/how the show is, real treat is Phantom story.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for tipping me off to this! It's taken me a while to respond because you're right—though the triplets themselves are ridiculous, the rest is an absolute delight, and I wanted to do it justice with a gifset.

I was surprised not to have heard of the show, as I was a '90s kid myself, but it looks like it originated in Spain? If the internet is correct, this particular episode was aired in 1999. The English dub is here for anyone who wants to watch it!

I really hope to stream it sometime soon, and then we can discuss why the Phantom's boat is a bird with a headlight.

Hey! I saw that you have a boot of Phantom with Lily and Jon Robyns. I just went last week to see it and it was so amazing! I was hoping there was a way that I could get the boot as well?

i’m so sorry love!! it’s nft forever, but i’m allowed to make gifs of it by permission of the master. @shakeatradefeather recorded it — the only way to get it is from them directly! you have to purchase it. however, collette is wonderful, so i would highly recommend contacting them!!

Something that always confused me when I read TPOTO was why The Phantom chose box five out of all the private boxes to be his.

Out of all the seats in the house, box five is among the worst and would be (and still is) sold cheaply (average 65 francs at cheapest in 1880, now sold a between 10-25 euros nowadays) on general sale. A higher profit would've been made from a year-long booking, especially since there are multiple seats, so it would be 65 francs per person on a yearly booking no matter how many people are in there at once, but still not as much as other seats.

Visual wise, a good chunk of the left side of the stage is cut off and parts of the performance that would occur in the higher wings would be completely unseen, so, why choose it? Isn't the main point of going to go watch an Opera is to actually see the performance?

(A screenshot from the Palais Garnier's seat listing stating the best seats for viewing and the view from the box five via this video)

Having been there myself in late May, I found an answer to my own question and I'm gonna share it with you guys because maybe someone else was asking the same thing!

Although yes, the stage is half cut off, it's one of, if not the, best seats acoustic wise. You're a perfect distance from the orchestra as well as the stage for everything to sound just right. As much as The Phantom would've loved the operatic performance, I don't doubt he would've been more focused on the music itself as well as the vocals, and, mainly, Christine.

Further, although going to the opera was more of a social thing than an entertainment thing, so the boxes were built for aristocracy to be seen above all things, you can disappear from public view quite easily in that box. There are two to three rows of seats going backwards to the door, so all one would have to do to disappear from sight of anyone on stage or in the audience would be to just move a seat backwards (which means he wouldn't have been able to see the stage at all, but would still be able to hear everything perfectly well).

Plus, the box is located right at the end of the row of private boxes, as well as very close to entry and exit stairs, both public ones and private ones meant for stage hands and general workers.

All in all, those three reasons are why the box was chosen and kept in high priority for The Phantom, because he could quite literally disappear, like a ghost, by just moving himself in the box, as well as disappear out of the box and hear Christine almost perfectly.
