“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to be loved and love in return”

It is right words for all love stories. If you try to remember them, you’ll end up with a figure with six zeros or more. One more love story is presented in musical Moulin Rouge.

Moulin Rouge is probably the most famous cabaret all over the world. Cabaret opened its doors on 6 October, 1889. One of the founders was Charles Zidler, who can be seen in the movie. Nobody can prove that this story was true and nobody needs it. Great actors, wonderful music and cancan make this musical popular for ladies and gents. Musical helped Moulin Rouge to improve its performance.

It will be nothing without a story. It is a story about love. Love that will live forever. For love doesn’t matter who you are, where you are from and how old you are. Christian and Satin don’t suit each other. It was clear for everyone except Love. Someone will say that they loose in fight for Love. No, their Love is still alive.

A little bit more about music. Charming tango Roxanne is full of Argentinean temp and French atmosphere. It was alternative version of the whole movie’s love story.

Another story also took place in Paris, but in place on a level higher than cabaret. It was Paris Opera House. It is Phantom of the Opera. Love story of singer and vicomte, singer and Phantom. Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber perfectly support Gaston Leroux’s novel. Reading a book it is a mystery for reader to solve whether Phantom is real or not. Musical solved it. He is real. Phantom will be always alive in Christine’s mind. It made some people to search for evidence of his existence. Romantic and mystic story disturb our imagination. He can be a Phantom for others, but she and her love made him as he is.

What is in common between these two musicals? Location? Music! It is charming and involves you in action on the screen. After two hours in Parisian atmosphere I don’t want to return to real world.

And what about you?
