Diane Shepherd Crossover Lyric Soprano's video: Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again Phantom

Christine Daaé, once an obscure ballerina, is given a lead singing role in “Don Juan”, an opera written by the Phantom of the Opera, a disfigured man who is obsessed with the lovely, young woman. Christine performs this memorable and emotional song when she walks through the graveyard to reach the Daaé family tomb. Her journey is made in order to express her innermost feelings to her father, who passed on several years before, and to say her final goodbye. She appears to be filled with a mixture of sadness and a longing to put the past behind her. As the words state in the early part of the song, he used to be a warm and gentle friend to her, but now everything has changed and she's seen the truth. She's trying to find a way to move on, and leave the memories behind, so that she can have a life with Raoul.
