How gorgeous! You lucky girl you! :-)

Wow...Teresia Bokor is really tiny. As I (and others) have said before, it seems that they do like to keep their Christines rather small. She's really adorable. And listening to some clips of hers that I found on myspace...I really like what I'm hearing. She has a fresh, sparkly coloratura voice and definitely knows how to sing. More Christines should be on her level. To quote Rebecca Caine, "She has to be able to give Carlotta a run for her money." And a Christine with a voice like Bokor's would definitely do this!

Teresia Bokor IS tiny! Granted, I'm tall... But she really is tiny. Seeing her opposite the tall Tomas Kofod (Raoul) and the even taller Peter Jorde (Phantom) is a bit absurd, in some scenes. But she does have a grand voice with a sparkly timbre. So lovely to listen to. She would definitely give Carlotta a run for her money ( ... )

Yes she looks to be about 5'0 or maybe even smaller. She looks like an adorable little doll. I love really love her voice for the role of Christine. Given that the character is supposed to be an opera singer who takes the Paris Opera by storm...she should definitely be able to sing well! A well-trained classical voice is a must for me if she is to be truly believable in the role ( ... )

I think Teresia Bokor is 5'1 (1,56). But with that cutie face she looks even more petite than she is. And my prejudice makes me jump every time she flungs out those high, rich notes. So much sound from such a small person! But then I remember that voice has very little to do with body size, it's not like a violin VS a cello!

I read somewhere that Susanne Elmark is app. 5'10, and seeing pics of her next to Flemming Enevold makes it quite plausible (he is 6'2). She said in an interview that:
Egentlig er jeg for høj til at spille Christine. Jeg er en af de højeste i verden, og da de kom fra selskabet i London påtalte de min højde. Men jeg fik heldigvis lov at spille, siger Susanne Elmark og smiler glad.(I'm really too tall to play Christine. I'm one of the tallest one in the world, and when they come from the company in London they commented on my height. But luckilly I got to perform after all, Susanne Elmark sais and smiles ( ... )

It was such an amazing evening, it's almost as if I believe it didn't happen. What an amazing night. I hope for everyone to experience something similar.

I have friended you back on Livejournal! (but you probably noticed that looong ago....)
