It’s since been so set in stone that even though several Broadway Christines (Jennifer Hope Wills comes to mind) has begged to do Claire Moore’s version, they have not been allowed to by their musical supervisor. Only variation has been that some sing it staccato (chopped) and some sing it legato (gliding). Sarah Brightman also did another variant on stage, and has later done yet another in concert.Ĭhristines worldwide did however pick up the original Sarah Brightman did, probably because her improvisation was the one written down in the score, and Christines to come followed the score. Sarah Brightman showed off her rapid coloratura (the short and high notes), while Claire Moore displayed a softer and grander legato (gliding) singing. This was also the idea behind the cadenza in “Think of Me” when Phantom opened in 1986. A cadenza might only be indicated in the score, and the rest is up to the singer. To make a long story short, the cadenza in a song was one of few places singers were allowed to improvise and display the very finest of their voice. ![]() The question is rather why there are so few different cadenzas.
