Cast
[edit]The cast for this movie with explanations, the explanations taken from IMDB:
- Nelson Eddy as Anatole Garron. A baritone of the Opera who loves Christine and helps her with her career. Nelson Eddy's hair was to be dyed black because of script requirements for his role of operatic baritone Anatole, maybe intending to refer to Norman Kerry looks in the silent version. According to the documentary included in the 1943 version DVD, Eddy only agreed when Jack Pierce, Universal make-up master, developed a one-day tinting that could be washed out after each day's shooting, allowing Eddy (who was of Dutch ancestry) to recover his characteristic blond hair. Norman Kerry, who was Viscount Raoul de Chagny in the silent version, visited the set of the 1943 version and shook hands with Eddy, as photographs testify. Besides his matinee-idol career singing popular music in clubs and in films and on the radio, Nelson Eddy did some real opera singing. He performed the very challenging role of Gurnemanz, the elderly second-in-command of the Knights of the Holy Grail in Wagner's opera Parsifal, with Leopold Stokowski conducting. This role makes fearsome demands on the singer; it is so long and so difficult that many basses never attempt it, and most who do, sing it only late in their careers, when their voices are fully mature. Eddy also sang the part of the Drum Major in the 1931 U.S. premiere of Alban Berg's musically advanced and challenging opera "Wozzeck", conducted by Leopold Stokowski in Philadelphia.
- Susanna Foster as Christine DuBois. A soprano of the Opera House. She is unaware that Erique Claudin loves her and was the one who funded all her singing lessons. A soprano of the Opera House. She is unaware that Enrique Claudin loves her and was the one who funded all her singing lessons. Susanna Foster, the then 19-year-old soprano in the leading role, was asked by Nelson Eddy to join him for a concert tour, but she declined, feeling she was too young. Despite his fearsome reputation, Foster remembered 'Jack Pierce' as being a sweet caring man that took the time to teach her how to apply her makeup to best suit her features, despite the fact that he was not assigned to work with her. Any time that he saw her where she was not made up as he had suggested he would pretend to be mad and tell her off, saying "You are not doing what I said".
- Claude Rains as Erique Claudin/The Phantom Of The Opera. A violinist of the Opera House who becomes The Phantom. Secretly devoted to Christine. It was considered casting Lon Chaney Jr. as "The Phantom," a role made famous by his father Lon Chaney. Claude Rains accepted to play the character under the condition that no overdone disfiguration would be made. Jack Pierce succeeded in fulfilling his requirement, according to the documentary included in the DVD release.
- Edgar Barrier as Raoul Dubert. A policeman who wants Christine to quit the Opera and marry him.
- Jane Farrar as Biancarolli. An arrogant, spoiled diva who dislikes being upstaged.
- J. Edward Bromberg as Amiot
- Fritz Feld as Lecours
- Frank Puglia as Villeneuve
- Fritz Leiber as Franz Liszt
- Steven Geray as Vercheres
- Miles Mander as Maurice Pleyel
- Hans Herbert as Marcel
- Hume Cronyn as Gerard
