Sofia Escobar (The new Christine from Phantom of the Opera )

[redberry0]

bello

[Fonseca429]

Is this from The Phantom of the Opera?

[AderitoM]

@Fonseca429No! This is the Portuguese Musical "Scents of Ligth." first role of Sofia Escobar, currently working in London, and Nuno Martins, who works in New York.

[MCA795]

Now that is a beautiful voice! I know of no one better than her! my god.

[rlee1976]

Couldn't they get the body mics into the side of their temples or enmeshed some other way? It's like a fuckin alien probe stickin out from their heads in this!! Very distracting.

[lossie101]

This seriously doesn't do Sofia justice! I saw her in Phantom last saturday and she was UNBELIEVABLY INCREDIBLE! I've seen Phantom many times and she's the best Christine I've seen, her voice is beautiful!

[jamessimonhudson]

I saw her last night in phantom and she was breathtaking

[Dledee]

I prefer Raquel Lima in the part, she has a stronger and prettier voice, but Sofia was luckier.

Btw, shouldn't the description have more info... Sofia's not alone there and naming the song ("Scents of Light") would be good for who doesn't know the musical.

[AderitoM]

@Dledee That`s a portuguese musical made in 2002, from Artur Guimarães,(music) Sara Lima (choreographie), and Pedro Costa (words). You can see it here../forum/f56/broadway-musi­cals-plays-1186818/index8.html­#post3489121

on tehparadox

[Dledee]

@AderitoM I know all that.

I was just saying it would be good for the description to have that info and not just that Sofia was understudy for Christine.

[Achorusofsong2]

Loads of this is out of tune!

[OushGisher]

She's very beautiful, and has a lovely voice. I think she'd suit the role of Christine very well. If she really is only performing for a short time, I do hope to get to see her perform before she leaves. Too bad Ramin won't be playing the Phantom though - they would've made a great on-stage pair.

[JRLIMA17777777777777]

desculpa pessoal,ela é afinada tem um timbre agradavel,mas deixa a desejar em termos de tecnica,com o timbre que ela tem ela poderia fazer melhor que isso,mas não é Oh a cantora,é afinada e tem um bom timbre apenas isso,tem muita gente cantando muito melhor hj em dia,inclusive na cidade onde moro tem muitas contoras que fazem ela parecer um gatinho em meio a feras.

abraço!

[waggers1919]

reallly looking forward to seeing Sofia back in Phantom as christine on the 6th Sept

[PsiWorldGirl]

[Dledee]

[cacafeia2]

@Dledee Aah okay =) obrigado pela correcçao

[meandmejust]

Muitos Parabéns Sofia.

És dona de uma voz espectacular que arrepia do primeiro ao último minuto.

Boa sorte para a tua caminhada e obrigada por nos presenteares com a possibilidade de ouvir a tua voz e de sentir a emoção que passas quando estás em palco.

[melsxaxfag]

I love her voice. She'll make a great Christine. Not as good as Sarah Brightman, but she'll definitely go far =D Yeah...the guy is very corny lol

[kieghacat]

omg the guy is corny...

[Colonique]

É tudo maluquinho.

Se não gostam, não comentem.

Tem uma voz linda, tenho tanto orgulho em ela ser portuguesa.

GO ON SOFIA, YOU ROCK.

[VotaSim]

Esta mulher é simplesmente espectacular, deveras arrepiante vê-la cantar e actuar é lindo! Qualquer dia vou a Inglaterra ver o espectáculo onde faz de Maria! Votem nela para melhor artista musical em Inglaterra eu já o fiz! Parabéns Sofia e força na tua caminhada para o já sucesso! és uma vencedora e não só de desporto vivemos nós!

[jennyliciOusxO]

wth this is not the phantom of the opera

which musical is this

[BoyFromTheOtherSide]

It doesn't say this IS Phantom of the Opera. She WAS Christine, but now she's Maria in West Side Story.

This was a musical written by the Portuguese composer Artur Guimaraes called Sense Of Light

[BoyFromTheOtherSide]

...Scents Of Light, even

[Peevsie777]

okay technical note: the hair mic is supossed to be hidden in the hair NOT dropped right down the front of the face.

[kieghacat]

i think that's the shadow, and the hair mic is sticking up

[AderitoM]

OK People!Go on with the discussion.

O Artur Guimaraes agradece.

[gavnaked]

Lol...wow - before, I was angry with 'michaelworld'...but now I just feel sorry for him :P

fantumfan, I think if you get to 15, you win a prize!

Lmao

[PlavalagunaDiva]

LOL!!! This is so entertaining!!! lololol I think we should just ignore this person who has nothing better to do with his life than stay online giving thumbs up to his own comments!!! It's just sad really!! lol, get a life dude!!! eheheheh!!!

[PsiWorldGirl]

@PlavalagunaDiva and you´re so damn stupid that u don´t realize that she won the best actress award in england dumb ass :s

[fantumfan]

I think I'm winning! Never had such a big score!!!

[fantumfan]

michaelworld's plain nastiness is also doing nothing for Portugal and the Portuguese.

Sofia's a great ambassador for her country -

Portugal's loss is the UK's gain. We get to watch her going from strength to strength in phantom.

Great comments lippy!

[PlavalagunaDiva]

Michaelworld, you're an idiot. lol

[fantumfan]

So ... such spiteful inappropriate comments from michaelworld .. I wonder why???

It took me a while to translate.

I'm guessing you haven't actually seen Sofia performing? After years of studying singing she is an accomplished performer and a talented actress - all the more commendable as her success has been achieved in English. As a fan of Phantom I've seen several Christines, and in my humble opinion Sofia is well out in front.

I agree with Azulana - Vai Sofia, acreditamos muito em ti!

[michaelworld]

fodaseeeeeeee que horror

esta gaja nao canta nada nem representar consegue

e ainda por cima é feia.

bem nao me admira que este video nao tenha muitos favoritos nem votos.

credo

[AderitoM]

OK! Ja percebi.Os Ingleses e que nao percebem nada desta merda, para a terem ido buscar.A proposito; Podse me dizer onde e o teu caixote do lixo?

[gavnaked]

Damn. You're one gutless loser.

To have nothing better to do than to be on your ass throwing insults, while you're sitting safe behind the fact that no one knows who you are...

You got both your friends to give you a thumbs up too... Nice one...or did you do that yourself?

Coward

[michaelworld]

EPA nao li o teu comentario mas vi que ta em ingles ou seja se entendeste o meu é porque percebes portugues nao?e que tal escreveres assim?

[gavnaked]

O que quiseres...Devias ouvir ao vivo e depois comentar.

E, vai para a escola e aprende inglês!

[michaelworld]

Nao preciso!

[lipsticko2]

Right, this is outrageous. Those of us who have had the pleasure of seeing Sofia shining on stage as Christine know how ridiculous this person's comments are. Her voice is amazing, she is an incredible actress and, drop dead gorgeous. Plus, I was lucky enough to say hi to her outside stage door and she is so lovely. Michael, it is quite obvious you have some reasons for your comments that have nothing to do with her performance.

[lipsticko2]

But, even tho you are trying so hard to make her sound bad, sorry to disappoint you but that is impossible. Plus, you are just sad giving your own stupid comments thumbs up, llloooollllll!!! And do you know how much you are affecting her? NOTHING! She is AMAZING, weather you like it or not :) A piece of advice: Get a life. :)

[michaelworld]

ups desculpa la nao li o teu comentario .

Mas obrigada por escreveres tantoo e em ingles for me.

[lipsticko2]

If you did not read the comment, how do you know I wrote "tanto" and in english?? ahahahahahah!!! What an IDIOT!!! looooolllll!!!

[michaelworld]

AHAHHA BURRO NAO LI,VI!É diferente

ahahahha idiot

[ninguem2]

@michaelworld Tu és é otario, tive a oportunidade de a ver ao vivo é posso te dizer que esta rapariga canta e representa muito bem

[PsiWorldGirl]

@michaelworld és mesmoooo estúpido e ignorante para não reconheceres tamanha beleza e talento !! Deves ser tu que és melhor lol

só te queria ver a fazer metade do que a Sofoa faz obeláh !!!

ass wipe !!

[Look2Know]

@michaelworld

Ok! Eu sei quais são as tuas intenções ao fazer esse comentário!

Tu queres que ela e todos os que gostam dela desapareçam da tua existência, por algum motivo obscuro, até para ti mesmo. Mas esse jogo está perdido para ti, pois só te perdes a ti mesmo nessa desassociação. A Negação do que É nunca vence aquilo que É!

Sofia Escobar É e não se pode negar como uma EXCELENTE ARTISTA. O sonho é imbativel.

[23Solo]

@michaelworld se cahar o gajo faz mais o teu género...

[marianabgomes]

@michaelworld vai ver a actuação dela nos globos de ouro e depois vem para aqui mandar bitaites.

[IrmandadeT]

@michaelworld oh meu grande burro...tu davas a tua carinha para ser como ela...ela lutou por tudo o que queria. e consegiui. por isso lava bem esses dentes antes de falares assim. se a ignorancia ocupasse espaço, tu nao pertencias a este mundo. és um grnade ignorante

[Azulana]

Vai Sofia... acreditamos muito em ti!!!!!

[caitlinette]

The music is really boring, and the singing is so-so...I assume she's improved since then because she's a Christine understudy now.

[fantumfan]

Understudy at the moment, but if there's any justice should be Christine at the next change whenever that is. If you get the chance go and see her and judge her performance yourself - she is a beautiful performer and has exactly what it takes to be a first class lead in any of the major parts on the West End stage.

[Norina1982]

Actually, she won't be a principal Christine any time soon.

Because.... she'll be leaving Phantom at the end of May to play Maria in West Side Story! :-D

I believe her replacement Katie Hall (for Christine Understudy) has already started her rehearsals.

Guess Sofia DID prove she has what it takes for a lead in the West End! She must be so excited! She'll make a great Maria. :-)

[RaWrZzZz]

and it was one of her dream roles! sofias so amazing! FIRST PORTUGESE CHRISTINE FTW! it gives me hope!

[crocve]

what misses now is a PORTUGUESE PHANTOM!

[RaWrZzZz]

the portuguese are amazing perfromers :D i am very proud of my roots, i'm an eighth portuguese. i'd be so psyched for a portuguese phantom :D

[PhanPhanPhanPhanPhan]

@Norina1982 Thankfully now she's the principal Christine and Katie's her alternate!! :D

[some105]

força nisso sofia!!!! és a maior! o melhor de Portugal

[XXThePhantomxx]

Sofia is the understudy in Phantom.

[sunnyangeleo]

qual e o musical? what is this musical?

[AderitoM]

Pode ser considerado o primeiro musical português, embora em inglês.

"SCENTS OF LIGHT" da autoria de Artur Guimarães, Pedro Costa, e Sara Lima.

Teatro Rivoli, Novembro de 2003.

[ricardomoco]

@AderitoM Desculpe-me a correcção, mas pelo que sei o primeiro musical plenamente português foi a "Maldita Cocaína", de 1994, com música do maestro Nuno Feist e história de Filipe La Féria.

Uma obra-prima do teatro português, e do musical, que poderia até ter sido representada fora do país... :(

[PsiWorldGirl]

@sunnyangeleo o musical é do fanatsma da ópera , é tão lindo !!! =D

[PhantomCake]

i've seen her in phantom!! she's amazing!

[Jorgealvescorreia]

Linda voz Sofiaa

[asilvad]

Tudo de bom para mais uma portuguesa que brilha lá fora! Força sofia, muito sucesso!

[Megatronpt]

Muita merda Sofia! ;)

[PsiWorldGirl]

@Megatronpt

lol , meaning : GOOD LUCK =)

[sunnyangeleo]

força sofia :D
