I love the lines and the sleeves and the incredible detail work! I also love it when my wonderful leading man, James Barbour, helps me out by carrying my train up the stairs to my dressing room after the show.ĭon't miss Ali Ewoldt's spectacular Christine Daae in 'The Phantom of the Opera' at Broadway's Majestic Theatre.

Spoiler Alert: Though this musical doesn’t end in a joyful wedding celebration, at least I still get to wear the dress! This is the dress The Phantom has made for Christine (the Mirror Bride wears it first during “Music of the Night”) and I must say, he has done a gorgeous job! Despite the fact that it is super super heavy and actually impossible to back up in gracefully (anyone who’s seen a Christine during curtain call has witnessed the elaborate kicking of the train that is required), this is my favorite dress that I wear in the show. I only wear the shawl for a moment when I enter, but I think it is absolutely beautiful! Phantom of the Opera - Andrew Lloyd Webber. Costume and Makeup Sites: - Maria Bjornsons Costume Design for The Phantom of the Opera (presented by Operafantomet, start here first) - Anas Phantom of. (And/or perhaps that is how I feel about playing Christine…my not-so-sassy/sensual faces in these pictures indicate that I wasn’t in character yet…).

Though Christine doesn’t get to show these sides of her own personality elsewhere in the show, I like to think they are a part of her and she loves getting to explore them through the opera. Aminta is sassy and sensual and strong-willed–all gorgeously reflected in this dress.

Christine plays “Aminta” in The Phantom’s opera, Don Juan Triumphant, and this is definitely her sexiest look.
