The Phantom of the Opera
by Gaston Leroux
The light is dimming at the Paris Opera House. Exquisite Christine Daae pleases the audience with her happy voice. Raoul de Chagni immediately falls deeply in love. But the crippled legend of the "opera phantom" haunts the performance, and when Raul goes after Christina, he is dragged deep into the opera house and deep into human emotions. Raoul soon discovers that the ghost is real and has terrifying power over Christina – an incredible power like the face of a masked ghost. As Raoul and the ghost race for Christina's love, the journey into the dark recesses of the human heart begins, where desire, vulnerability, fear, and violence unfold in a tragic confrontation.
