Photos: Phantom of the Opera Haunts McKinney Theatre in Mission Viejo

Saddleback College brought Phantom of the Opera to their McKinney Theatre Saturday, with a full house packed to see the popular opera.

See photos above.

This production is vocally directed by Scott Farthing, musically directed and conducted by Carmen Dominguez and musically staged by Bart McHenry - involving also the college's symphony orchestra, community and concert choirs and their theatre department.

"The performance was good," Saddleback College student Catey Meador said. "I loved how they sang the some of the parts that were in the movie."

The opera is about a disfigured, masked man that wanders the opera house catacombs, haunting and extorting it for money when he learns of a young soprano named Christine, and falls in love with her the moment he hears her voice. He devotes himself to creating a new star out of Christine, using all his abilities and powers to remove obstacles.
