"The Phantom of the Opera has thrilled and entertained audiences in adaptations throughout the century." 

"Leroux has created a masterwork of love and murder." 

First published in French as a serial in 1909, "The Phantom of the Opera" is a enchanting story about young Christine Daaé. Her father, a famous musician, dies, and she is raised in the Paris Opera House under the eyes of a protective angel of music to guide her. After some time, she begins hearing a voice, who teaches her how to sing beautifully. All goes well until Raoul comes to visit the opera house and becomes infatuated with Christine when she begins successfully singing on the stage. The old legend of the "opera ghost" becomes a horrifying reality as the ghost strikes out with increasing frequency and violence - always with the young singer at the centre of his powerful obsession. The phantom is in love, but it can only spell disaster.
