Yes, she is a classically trained singer. However, Emmy won for Best Performance by a Younger Actor at the Saturn Awards. Simon Callow (as Andre), Miranda Richardson (as Madame Giry), Jennifer Ellison (as Meg Giry), composer/screenwriter/producer Andrew Lloyd Webber, Minnie Driver (as Carlotta), Murray Melvin (as Reyer), Ciarán Hinds (as Firmin), and Emmy Rossum (as Christine) in The Phantom of the Opera, a 2004 musical drama film based on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1986 musical of the same nameįor her performance in the movie, Emmy Rossum was nominated at the 62nd Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, losing to Annette Bening in Being Julia. It sent shivers up my spine and gave me goosebumps.After Anne Hathaway dropped out of the role as Christine Daaé because the production schedule of the film overlapped with The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, which she was contractually obligated to make, the then 16-year-old Emmy Rossum got the lead role in the film of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera. Overall, I rate this film a 5/5 and definitely recommend it. I wouldn't be surprised if more roles in Hollywood turned up for her. Miss Ellison has been trained in acting, singing and dancing and so was well equipped to the play the part, and carried it off very well. Another pleasant surprise is that Jennifer Ellison was actually rather good in her role as Meg, Christine's best friend. Watching the Phantom and Raoul, certainly separated the boys from the men and the girls from the women. Butler played him, was so sexy and he drew the WOMEN to him. I actually ended up warming to him, and when asked by my boyfriend who I would choose Raoul or the Phantom, I said the Phantom. Although his vocal skills weren't entirely right for the part, he portrayed the Phantom as a lot of people see him as a victim. However, the star of the piece for me, was Gerard Butler (the Phantom). Although Raoul seemed a bit wet and droopy, he was still gorgeous and made the GIRLS in the audience swoon. Patrick Wilson (Raoul), out of all of them, had the most captivating voice. Driver did not do all the vocals herself). Her singing was overdone to add to the character (even though Ms. Her hand gestures added to the mannerisms of a typical diva. Minnie Driver (La Carlotta) was very funny in her Italian diva role. When she started to sing, my mouth literally dropped open.
Emmy Rossum (Christine) was 17 when this was filmed and was absolutely outstanding. The theatre set itself was absolutely stunning marble and velvet being the main materials within it. France is known for its beauty, and this adaption certainly paid homage to that. Although I have never seen it on-stage, the film version - for me - was so enchanting that I now cannot wait to obtain tickets to it. I dragged my long suffering boyfriend to see The Phantom of the Opera on Sunday, and was pleasantly surprised by it.
