Colm Wilkinson (Phantom), Patti Cohenour (Christine), Byron Nease (Raoul)
Probably the clearest audio with Colm in my collection, though signigicant generation loss can be heard. Second half of the first act is hardly audible.

20 September (1998?); Toronto, Canada**
Chris Groenendaal/Ciarán Sheehan/Jeff Hyslop/Ethan Freeman/Peter Karrie (Phantom), Elizabeth DeGrazia (Christine), David Rogers (Raoul), Kim Stengel (Carlotta), Kevin McGuire (André), Terry Hodges (Firmin), Brent Weber (Piangi), Kristina Marie Guiguet (Mme Giry), Catriona Derguson (Meg)
(10th?) anniversary of the Canadian production featuring almost all of the principal Phantoms in a single performance except Colm Wilkinson. The performance concluded with the special performance of the Music of the Night. Quality is far from being good but it's ok considering it's age.
I received it dated as 20.09.1998 but the metadata says it's 10th anniversary which is a contradiction because the show premiered in Canada in 1989, so there are 2 possibilities: this is 9th birthday and then the date is correct or the year is 1999, then it's indeed the 10th anniversary. I made a small research and I found reports mentioning both 9th and 10th birthday.

René Simard (Phantom), Elizabeth DeGrazia (Christine), Laird Mackintosh (Raoul)
Last performance for Simard and DeGrazia. Includes speeches by them at the end but the quality is so bad that it's barely possible to make out their words.
