Abstract

This research delves into the transformative journey of “The Phantom of the Opera” from musical theatre to film, focusing on the adaptation’s difference in structural music, content remediation, and mise-en-scène. The objective is to analyze and compare the differences in these elements between the two mediums, shedding light on their unique characteristics and strengths. The research employs a comparative analysis approach, examining the use of structural music, the role of remediation in media shift, and the disparities in mise-en-scène. Key findings reveal distinct shifts in the structural use of music, narrative enrichment through remediation, and differentiated visual expression in film mise-en-scène. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamic interplay between musical theatre and film, emphasizing the evolving nature of artistic expression across different media.
